Tell us something odd about you..

[KIRSTIN'S MOMMY]

Count me in to the bone cracking, hanger turning, one thing at a time eating club! Also, I cannot stand to see a white pimple on anyone. It drives me crazy!!!! If they are related, I will go for it right away...if not, I try not to stare, but have been known to go crosseyed trying not to look....

 

[Kimickey]

I'm a neat freak! There are lots of things about me that are odd

1. I will not drive my car unless it's clean inside and out. I have two children so we do a lot of car cleaning.

2. I will not use a bathroom or shower unless it's spotless.

3. I will not get in my bed at night unless it's made and the sheets and blankets are wrinkle free.

4. All of my clothes hang the same way in my closet as well as the hangers and also my shoes.

5. I cannot go to bed unless my house is spotless.

6. I will not come downstairs in the morning without brushing my teeth and washing my face. I hate funky and bad breath.

7. I refuse to use a public restroom. I've had many urinary tract infections because of this.

I have a lot more but will be here all night. DH thinks I'm insane because he is the total opposite so we balance out very well. I don't push any of my odd things on him.

My bedroom door has to be at my feet so I can see everything. I cannot stay in a room where the door is anywhere else. LOL!

 

[honeywolf7]

I'm a plastic chewer, too (and I thought I was the only one...I chew on my pens and pen caps the most, though.)
I have high arches and very high insteps.
I'm a "one thing at a time" eater, too....I also pull apart my hamburgers and pizza (I'll eat the hamburger in layers and I'll pull the toppings and the cheese off the pizza, eat them, and then eat the pizza and the tomato sauce.)
I am terrified of ghosts in theory, but the one time I've been in a place that I knew was haunted and actually saw something I wasn't scared.
My sleep schedule is really odd....Like tonight, I have been asleep since about 4 PM, but then I woke up at 11 and I'll probably go back to sleep in about another hour and sleep until 8 in the morning.
I have small teeth (an ex-boyfriend called them "kid teeth" and my ex-husband used to call me "baby teeth.")

 

[cadburysmom]

......I totally agree about the closet doors having to be closed and my bed facing the door when I sleep. I never thought about it until I read the previous posts. I wonder if there really are monsters in there?

....and yes, I, too, can't sleep unless I have a blanket over me, hence, major air conditioning in the bedroom all summer!

....it's late and I need my beauty sleep. Goodnight all!!!

So does my DD...we call them "monkey toes!"

Just look at my tag, lol. I cannot sleep unless I have socks on my feet. I have tried to sleep without them, but to no avail.

Me, too!! Thought I was crazy! And it's not a foot hang-up...I love a good foot rub...but the sheets brushing over my feet wake me up!

I have a brown streak in one of my eyes that gets red when I'm angry.

I'm starting to resemble a few too many of these...

I have brown eyes that I'm told "flash to green" when I'm angry...actually scared a guy once.....didn't mean to.....he's the one that told me about my eyes.... that was years ago, but DH says they still do it.

All my clothes in my closet have to face the same way...hangers too.

Well...

I like to cut my waffle on the grid and then eat it in a checkerboard DH found it very cute while we were dating...wonder if it kept him around, or he stayed in spite of it?

And I'm right there with you on the clothes thing. I'm completely disorganized about everything...except Disney and my closet.

And the blanket thing...can't fall asleep without one, no matter how hot it is!

Well, my oddity is my teeth. I only have one large tooth in the center of my upper teeth. When I was a kid learning how to ride a two wheeled bike at my grandparent's house, I forgot how to stop! DUH! Anyway, my large center teeth had just come out and when I crashed, one of my large teeth came out. My parents couldn't afford to have anything done about it at the time, so eventually the other teeth came in and the remaining large tooth was pushed into the center position. Because of that, I did not need braces!! If I don't mention it, no one ever notices it. In fact, if I ever have to have dentures, I will request only one center tooth!!

i am requesting a photo to understand this one, PLEASE.

I have several (I hope that doesn't mean I'm a TOTAL freak!):

I am a lefty when I write on paper, but a righty when I write on a chalkboard. I also do almost EVERYTHING else right-handed.

I HAVE to have a comforter and it has to be up over my head for me to go to sleep. Makes St. Louis summers a bit weird, but that's why we have air conditioning!

I alphabetize EVERYTHING--computer downloads, files, CD's, DVD's, EVERYTHING!!

I once participated in the longest on-going battle of toilet paper "over or under". My room mate in college wanted it over, we'd always had it under. So each time one of us used the bathroom, we switched it. Now I'm an "over" person. So much wasted time!!!

 

[evilqueenfan]

When eating a slice of pizza, I eat the crust end first.
I tie shoelaces backwards.(I was taught to tie by my uncle who ties his that way.) Everyone laughs at me when they see me tie shoes. DH would not allow me to teach our kids to tie.
All money in my wallet must face the same way and be in order of denomination with highest dollar value to the back.
All the clocks in our house and cars must read the same exact time. My family thinks I am nuts when I am going around the house AND out to the cars to reset any that may be "off".

 

[mickeyboat]

I share many of your previously mentioned phobias and traits.

Here are two new ones

I can't stand breathing someone else's breath. I have to turn my back to my DH in bed and I used to hold my breath when I walked by someone on the street.

I don't like odd numbers. If I have a chance to pick a date, it is always an even number. I was horrified that DD#2 was born on an odd-numbered date. Is there any way I can change that?

I HATE to hear someone pronounce the word puddING as puddIN'. My children do it just to see my reaction. It drives me nuts.

Fun thread...

I have a major frog phobia. Started when the neighborhood bully decided to stick a huge bullfrog down the from of my ballet outfit. That thing was flipping out with legs squirming and hopping! Im getting the chills reliving that moment now! I have had to have a deck built on the back of my house just so I will go out in our backyard. My dd once had to carry me across the grass because there was a "hippy-hoppy" out there!

It drives me crazy to see and have holiday decorations up after the holiday is over. "Christmas is over! Take down that lighted reindeer on your lawn for Easter!"

I have to have one leg out of the covers at night.

In the previews for Disney movies when they show the blue screen with the castle and tink flying over head I burst out in tears. My kids try to fast forward that!

 

[Mishetta]

I have many little "quirks" but the one that drives my DH insane is that before I drop a letter in a mailbox, I have to check it at least 5 times, if the stamp is properly affixed & if the envelope is securely sealed. I flip that envelope over & over & over & keep looking & touching to make sure nothing is moving! Then I drop it in the mail box & I look for it (yep, head leaning into the mail slot!) I don't know where that came from either!

Now my DH has several of the "problems" you all have!

I think there are a lot of OCD sufferers out there!

WOW! So does our DD18. She literally FREAKS OUT at the mention of a frog. But she has no horror story to even back it up -- we don't know where it came from...

My oddity is that I can't stand anything sweet on my French Toast -- no jelly, no powdered sugar, no syrup --

I put SALT & PEPPER on it -- everyone thinks I'm nuts, but I can't see the logic of putting anything sweet on eggs!

I also have to put Paprika on scalloped or au gratin potatoes. I don't know why, but they just don't taste the same without it!

 

[hucifer]

I can do one mean Bill The Cat impression. Ack.

 

[MerryPoppins]

I always try to sit facing the door in a restaurant. My family teases me that I've watched too many westerns and think I need to be ready to "draw" if the bad guys come in.

I can't breathe when I drive past those concrete dividers along the highway. Well actually, I'm breathing, but I can't take a deep breath until I am past the thing. They terrify me! I've been known to close my eyes when DH is driving past them, but I still have trouble breathing.

I don't like to wear socks to bed. I rub my feet on the sheets when I'm going to sleep and it just doesn't feel right with socks. And I have to have covers even in the summer, but my feet can stick out if I'm too hot.

I usually eat one food at a time. Someone told me once that that means your parents fed you one food at a time when you were a baby. I don't know if it's true.

I can't stand it when my dog licks. She goes on a lick fest and just won't stop. I find the sound very annoying.

I don't like shots. I HAVE to have something to read when I have to have a shot. It takes my mind off of it. If I dwell on it, I almost lose it.
