Weird Facts About YOU

[princessariel]

<SIZE=3>I'm getting a chuckle out of this thread!

I haven't seen anyone else post....I can't sleep with clothes on. I gotta be nude to sleep.

DH thinks I'm strange because I dress my feet by putting on sock, shoe, sock, shoe. Just doesn't feel right to put both socks on and then both shoes.

When I eat corn on the cob my cob ends up square.

I don't snore, I make a poofing noise. I've woke myself up doing this.

That's all I can think of right now.</SIZE>

Princessariel:
Me too! I absolutely hate to sleep with clothes on! When I go on girls only trips and share a room with a friend I always have to go out and buy p.j.'s!

I pick my fingernails...I don't bite them, I pick at them. I've done it for as long as I can remember, and my nails have never been longer than my fingertips.

I can't stand having hair in my face...my friends make fun of me because I'm constantly tucking my hair behind my ears. Until recently, it was kind of a nervous habit; when I had to present something to the class, I would stand there and never stop tucking my hair behind my ears, even though it was already there. But I got tired of people making fun of me, so I stopped.

I have to have at least 2 pillows in order to fall asleep. I sleep on a twin bed, but I have 4 pillows. And when I go on vacation, I always take one of my pillows along. It helps me fall asleep, and that way I'll have more than 1.

I despise spelling and grammatical errors. I know I make mistakes occasionally, but I usually catch them and correct them. I think some of it is because I write for the school newspaper, but even among the other writers I have a reputation for being the first to catch errors.

I type really fast. When I instant message people, it drives me crazy because I have to sit and wait for them to type everything, and I type a response in about 2 seconds.

I kind of grind my teeth...it's not really what I would normally think of as grinding my teeth, I don't really know how to describe it...I just kind of click them together in a rhythm. I especially do it when I'm concentrating or thinking really hard about something, then I realize that I'm doing it and I stop. I don't know, it's weird.

I hate tomatoes in any form. I don't eat ketchup or tomato sauce, and I only eat pizza if it doesn't have much sauce on it. I prefer it with alfredo sauce or no sauce at all.


Ok, I think that's enough.

 

[Flyfly_Eclipse]

Yeesh..I have some of the same quirks as you nsyncraider17!!! I had trouble remembering my quirks, but when I read yours I was like, omigosh, ME TOO!!

I type REALLY fast also. I remember I was typing an e-mail or something when I had a Spanish girl staying with us for about a month. My dad said her eyes were as big as saucers as she saw me type a million miles an hour (or words per minute?? )!!! I can also type without looking at the keyboard. I do not put my fingers on the correct letters that they teach during keyboarding or typing classes. I only use about three fingers on each hand...my middle and index finger and my thumb (I just realized that!!!!).

As for picking your fingernails...what do you mean by "pick"? I do not bite my nails either, however I try to find if there is any...cracks in my nail and tear some of the white part of nail off...lol...

I am extremely obsessed with the Extreme Ghostbusters Show at Universal Studios...did I mention that already??? lol! Well, I get very competitive when it comes to being their biggest fan. I was ready to pounce on this one girl who was sitting in "my spot!" Plus I always carry a neon yellow seat cushion with me when I go to Universal Studios...the only reason I bring that, my camcorder, and camera is for the ghostbusters Show. And I carry them all day.

I'm addicted to Pepsi 1 and Diet Mountain Dew. Don't bother offering a drink of anything else. My mom drinks soda for every meal and passed the bad habit to me. I can not drink coke at all. Gross! And I have to be REALLY thirsty in order to drink regular soda...even Pepsi brand.

When I was younger I would dunk Beef Sticks into my diet cola. lol.

I'm obsessed with makeup. Even if I never wear it, I have to buy it. If it's cool looking or I want it, I buy it. I wear it sometimes but a lot of the time I forget or don't have the time. I also only like the natural look. The Mimi look is sooooo not my style!

 

[DisneyCP2002]

Let's see weird about me:

Another no jammies sleeper
Don't like socks or shoes
Pulls at ears when I'm really bone tired
Can get angry easy at computer
Counts before I sleep
Only drinks Coke in Coke Floats
Has to sleep under fan
Must have HOT water for bath no matter what time of year
Likes to have a nightlight
I am absoluetly terrified of lighting. I can take any other natural weather thingy but lighting no way.
Has to read while in the bathroom(probably TMI sorry)
Likes to plan thorougly for vacations

 

[DebD4T]

I cannot sleep in an unmade bed. If for some reason my bed is not made, I have to make it before I get into it to go to sleep.

I also love cold egg rolls and cold pizza for breakfast with hot coffee. Mmmmm.

I must have all my paper currency facing the same way and in order from lowest denomination to highest.

This is a great thread.

 

[mommystieg]

I just remembered more:
Love anything with tomatoes but I despise ketchup; I can't even stand the smell of it!!
Can't sleep with socks on.
All of my clothes in my closet must face the same way and I try to keep them organized-sleeveless tops, Disney shirts, work shirts, etc.
Teeth on silverware-AAARRRGGGHHH!!!
I only like the tuna salad I make.
When eating out I always inspect my food before I eat it to make sure there isn't anything I don't like(mayo, peas, ketchup, etc)in/on it.
Can't stand the feeling of hair strands stuck on my fingers--like when you are washing your hair and a couple of hairs come out--eeewwww.
Wow I feel a lot better knowing that I am in such great company

 

[figmentvi]

Well here are mine....

I must have all of the food on my plate completely separated and not touching any of the other food on the plate. But unlike other posters here I don't have to eat everything separately.

I have to sleep with covers on no matter how hot it is, but one foot MUST be out from under the covers.

I MUST drink a soda with ice cubes. Doesn't matter how cold it is, it must be in a glass with ice.

I hate, hate, hate going to the dentist. I can't stand having anyone touch my teeth. I hate it so much that I have to have nitrous oxide just for a teeth cleaning.

The first thing that comes off when I get home from work is my bra! I hate those things!!!!

Oh, I TOTALLY agree with that! If I could take it off first, I would. I don't understand how my DD17 sleeps with one on. Ever since she started wearing one, she always sleeps in one.

I also have to have pajamas on -- cannot sleep in the nude.

I hate anything made with bananas (pudding, cake, bread, etc.) but I like bananas themselves.

I don't like to go out to lunch with people when I'm at work. Just would rather eat by myself, reading or studying my lines for a play I might be doing at the time. I'm not anti-social, but I treasure my lunch hour.

When opening emails, I always go through and delete all the "unnecessary" junk ones first, then go back and open the ones I know are from recognizable people/companies.

I can't stand some of the "frenetic" signature lines on the bottom of some DISers posts -- things running around and jumping up and down drives my eyes "buggy" and I can't concentrate on what I'm reading. (No offense guys).

Well, look at this. I take a Friday off and this thread really takes off. Even a a visit from our wonderful tag fairy. What an honor! So come on now, I know there are more of you out there with weird stuff to share.

 

[chell]

After reading the new responses I have thought of a few more.

I absolutely HATE to have my fingernails or my hair cut or even trimmed. I cringe at the thought. The only time I don't mind getting my hair cut is when I'm getting it cut for Locks of Love.

Add me to the no PJ's club too.

When I'm real sleepy I will scratch my head.

All of my money has to face the same way and none can be upside down either!

 

[Shugardrawers]

I really DON'T like chocolate. Does that make me a freak?

My DH thinks I'm weird because I simply MUST wear a nightie to bed but I CAN'T wear underwear to bed. Or pants of any kind. Gowns only. Hate it when things creep into areas they shouldn't be in the middle of the night.

I don't get thongs. I spend 1/2 my life trying to keep my underwear OUT of my hiney crack!

I can eat salt straight from the shaker but can't stand foods that are too salty.

I like potato chips in my sandwiches.

 

[Planogirl]

I've enjoyed reading these. I guess it's true that everyone has their own quirks.

Let's see, as for me:

I love Big Band music. I can doo wop with Glen Miller music any time.

I am scared to death of heights but I love mountains and traveling. I've learned to ignore most of my fears even though I did almost bruise DH's arm the last time we flew through turbulence.

I can't stand having anyone touch my feet. It's like torture to even think about it so no foot massages for me!

I hate the sound of a rake scraping on pavement. The man across the street picks up his grass trimmings by raking them and I could easily hide under the bed if I thought it would help.

 

[suzannen]

I have to say I don't know which has been more fun, reading all of these funny quirks or reading so many folks' new tags. Kudos to the Tag Fairy - made my day!

 

[GeorgeG]

I just thought of one more for me:

I can't, and never could, snap my fingers. As hard as I try, all I ever get is a quiet phhhp.

I'm sure there are a lot more things that just don't come to mind, but that part of my anatomy has been way overworked in recent years so I only get one at a time.

Planogirl, I'm with you on the big bands. I play with a local big band and never get tired of it. "Doo Wop" is another era, but just as good. No matter, though. They're both favorites of mine.

Now, if I could just snap my fingers...

 

[Dana49]

I love to have a spoonful of chocolate ice cream and chase it with a potato chip. Since I had open heart surgery, I don't do that anymore, but I sure do miss it.
It drives me crazy to hear people crunching on ice.
It bothers me when people chew with their mouth open.
When a person gets up and leave a rocking chair still rocking, I have to stop it.
I have to wash my face after eating.
I must have a minimal head on my Guinness, no bishop's collar allowed.

 

[ILUVDXL]

Here's a few more for me. I have a problem wirh sneezing. Once I start, I can't stop. My record is 54 sneezes in a row (DH counted). I can't eat a tunafish sandwich without potato chips inside. I'm not comfortable at my desk in work unless there's a big glass of water with me. I have to put chopped green olives and lots of black pepper in egg salad or I won't eat it. I won't eat chocolate cake unless I have a big cold glass of milk to go with it. No milk, no cake.

Come on you guys, I know there are more of you out there.

 

[DelitefulDory]

I have to sleep with the closet door closed.
I don't like tomatoes, but love tomato soup.
I have to wear shoes outside.
I smell my food before I eat it.
I hate the "pop" from canned biscuits, I make my hubby open them.
I can't eat or drink after anyone, including my child.
I think I'll leave it at that.

 

[ILUVDXL]

DD you made me LOL with the smelling your food before you eat it. All I could picture was Hawkeye in M.A.S.H.

 

[DelitefulDory]

Good thing I don't look like him!
