I must have...can't do without...can only...

[coolbeans]

I have to have one mega pack of toliet paper in the closet at all times -unopened... all the other rolls are stacked on top of it. if we use all the ones on top and I can see the mega pack getting close I go buy more!

I do pretty much the same as above with kleenx, paper towels, hand lotion, laundry soap, coffee and feminine products.. gotta keep a supply.

I can't go on a trip with a dirty house either.

Oh, and New Years Eve.. the house has to be clean, no Christmas decorations left up.. new year = clean house!!

 

[Docwoods]

The line between sanity and insanity is so fine...

 

[focusondisney]

I must have the house perfectly clean before leaving for a trip.

Me too!!! I mean the last thing I do as we walk out the door is put out clean towels in the bathrooms & the kitchen. The used ones get spread out on the rim of the washer in the basement so they dry out & aren't yucky when I get back.

My food quirk: I sort my M&M's & line them up 2 by 2; trying to make sure no color combinations are repeated. If I have extras or combinations are repeated, I eat those first. I eat one color pair at a time & I sort of let them melt in my mouth, no chewing M&M's for me!!! I know, I'm wierd about M&M's!!!

Edit: forgot to say I must IRON all our clothes before packing, even things like jeans. Like they need to be ironed or won't get wrinkled in the suitcase!! That one drives DH a little crazy!!

Great fun reading everybody elses nutty habits, too!

 

[suejai]

I was thinking I didn't have any habits like this but then I started reading everybody else's and realized that I do.

I also can't have the door in between, it has to be either open or closed.
If there is no cream, I won't have any coffee, in which case I will go to Starbucks for my morning coffee - which I must have.
I must have the sheets un-tucked
The toilet paper has to roll over the top, but I will only change it around at home, not anywhere else.
My dogs must wait at the door when they come in the house, they are not allowed to just run in.

 

[anniemae]

I must check the room for spiders before going to bed

All sauces must be on the side for dipping (no ketchup on the burger, I will dunk each bite myself thank you!)

Can't stand melty ice cream, it must be eaten fast before it gets soft and drippy

Eggs must be cooked well done, I get ill thinking of "runny" eggs

 

[LilyWDW]

I can't wash my hair with my contacts on, they go in after the shower.

I am the opposite... I MUST have my contacts in to take a shower. I have a sever fear of spiders and I live in the basement... so I find them often. The idea of having blurry vision in there freaks me out!

I have to organize my DVDs, CDs, and Books by genre and then alphabetically.

I have to check all doors and windows to be sure they are locked every night and anytime I leave the house.

I have to have 2 pillows to sleep on.

 

[Nette]

I must sleep on the left side of the bed (if standing at the foot facing the headboard, I must be on the left) my DH thinks this is bizarre.

That reminded me of one of mine. I must sleep on the side of the bed nearest the door to the room. Dunno why, and I don't really even think about it and neither does DH we just do it.

 

[acejka]

I can't stand it if drawers or cabinets are not all the way closed, I have to check them before bed or I will not be able to sleep.

My clothes are hanging in my closet by color, nothing can be in the wrong section.

My food can't touch on a plate, I can't stand the flavors mixing, or juices running into other foods, messing with the textures. I hate getting a messy mixed up plate.

I do the same things with the grouping colors and eating the extras first!

 

[DisneyCP2002]

My cheeseburger must be plain or I won't eat it.
The fan in my room must be going, even in the dead of winter.
I must wear socks to bed.
Dr Pepper every morning and sprite every evening without fail.

 

[cheermom1]

I HAVE to close all cabinets doors..I was staying with a friend years ago and he dh came up to me one day and said at least someone in this house shuts the cabinet door.

 

[ncmickeyluvr]

I have to drink at least one cup of coffee before bed...you would think it would be the other way around. Usually, it's 3 or 4 cups. I've tried sleeping without my coffee and I usually end up grumbling to myself in the kitchen at 3am waiting for it to be done.

I can't sleep if anyone is touching me. DH has a very narrow window of cuddling time and then he's banished to his side of the bed. He loves me anyway.

If I walk through my house in the dark, I have to turn on every overhead light that I pass....and reverse the process walking back.

I have to eat tuna warm.

I have to sleep with a fan on...it's the noise. We bring a small one on vacation with us.

 

[hrh_disney_queen]

I like to eat my potato chips or peanuts or M&Ms one at a time. None of this stuffing a few in the mouth at a time.

Oh yes, me too! How about popcorn? One piece at a time, or two or three, or a handful? I don't like to get all of my fingers messy, so it's one at a time for most things, including popcorn.

I can't have my feet scrunched up with the bottom of the sheet, they have to be able to be up straight. Mousekeeping drives me crazy, they tuck the sheets so tight! I also have to be tucked in on the side.

Cannot have anyone touching me when I sleep.

When I am shopping, if I see an item on the floor, I have to pick it up and put it back on the shelf.

I have to pick up one piece of trash in a parking lot on my way into a store. Only one, though.

It bothers me to go inside through a different door than I exited.

I have to have a loud fan running when I sleep.

I hate having anyone touching my feet. Pedicures are OUT. Massages, too. Hate them. So if you massage my feet, I will probably scream.

 

[bas71873]

These have made my day. I have tears in my eyes from laughing so hard, but after reading them ALL, I realize I have a few of my own...

My ceiling fans run 24/7, 365 and yep, I live in the middle of all this crazy snow

When I eat Lucky Charms, I eat all the cereal first and then eat all the marshmallows

I'm a 3 pillow sleeper - head, hugging and between the knees

I must fall asleep before DH otherwise, I toss & turn for hours if I hear him breathing (which is usually loud and sometimes a snore)

I too must have a clean house before we leave for vacation. I just like to come home to a clean house.


I'm sure there are more. I'm nuttier than I thought.

Oh wow. Same here!!!!!!!!!!

 

[cheermom1]

I just thought of one ...I HAVE to eat all the broken chips in the bag first before I can eat the whole ones..dh doesn't think and he will grab one of my whole chips and eat it and I get very mad!! he thinks I'm nuts

One piece of popcorn at a time.

Yes, there is nothing worse then getting down to the last chip in the bag and finding it's a dinky quarter of a chip.

Just a heads up on the contact thing--it isn't advisable to have your contacts in while you shower. It can lead to some serious eye infections from the bacteria in the water. A friend's DD got one of these and it wasn't pretty. They had to have a special medicine made for her and had to put it in her eyes every 30 minutes around the clock for 3 weeks.

I don't have pizza very often. Maybe on a cheat day or if I make homemade low carb crust. But, I cannot have pizza without ranch dressing to dip it in. Without ranch, I'd rather not even have pizza at all.

I HAVE to have a comforter over me to sleep. it could be the dead of summer, and I still have to have my comforter. No puny sheet or light blanket will do. I need the weight of the comforter.

HaHa me too. And it drives DH nuts. I also have a cuddly blanket on the couch at all times, all seasons. I can't watch TV w/o being cuddled up under a blanket
