Weird habits

[grinningghost]

A local talk show host is doing this topic today and I thought it would be fun for the DIS.

Tell us about weird habits you have encountered in people you have known.

 

[JoNo]

I'll post one of my own weird habits. whenever I eat, I like to eat things seperately. like if I get a burger & fries, I will eat the burger first, then the fries. No biting the burger, then eating some fries. Doesn't seem weird to me, but it bugs my GF!

not in public, only at home, but when I am eating something, like a sandwich, or whatever, I tend to tear it apart and eat it piece by piece.

Me too, but I keep telling the kids to not play with their food LOL

I have to wash my dishes in a certain order.. My DD refers to it as "Mom's Dewey Dish System"...

And I also have this quirk about things being "straight" - or lined up evenly.. Drives me nuts when things are crooked!

A little OCD, I suspect...

I am exactly the same way...I'll eat things seperately, and in a clockwise circle. Weird, I know.

I do the exact same thing! Now I'm going to use you as an example that I'm NOT the only weird person on the planet when my family teases me, JoNo!

I have to go to sleep with the blanket over my head--no matter the temperature. I also have to sleep with a comforter, even in the middle of the hot, humid, midwest summer. No wonder I'm divorced!!!

Me too - my DH thinks I'm insane (but he hasn't divorced me yet ).

My neighbor has a strange habit. He has a driveway and 2 vans. But he won't park in it. If there's no room on the street to park, he watches out his window, and the second someone moves their car out of the street, like a flash - he's out there putting his van in the street. This drives my DH crazy, and it's like a game. If there's an open spot on the street, he MAKES me put my car out there, just so the neighbor guy can't.

Now that is funny. How old is your DD?

 

[BobbinWeez]

My weird habit is that when I eat a sandwich I have to cut it in half...every sandwich...even hamburgers. It's like I'm too intimidated by a whole sandwich and have to start small and work my way up.

 

[teh fish]

ugh. My ex-gf had a ton of them. Cleaning had to be done in a certain order, could only eat certain foods on certain days, etc.

I don't know if this is considered weird...but actually a habit, addiction....whatever...but I HAVE to have a bottle of diet coke or pepsi at ALL times wherever I go.....
I carry extra 2 liters in my truck so if I run out I just "refill" my bottle. I carry one in all stores, dr offices, friends houses, dd's school functions (and even when just going in to sign them out).....even funeral homes (make sure it will fit in my purse to conceal it a bit)
I drink it the minute I get up in the morning and before I got to bed.
It is mostly caffeine free diet since the eye doctor linked caffeine intake with my high eye pressure...when I switched to decaf...my pressure went back to normal.....funny, when I went to see him, he questioned if I drank alot of caffeine...and I pointed over to my purse on the chair and I had one of those big 1 liter bottles that day....

******edited*****I forgot to add.....pop has to be at room temperature....I just don't like it cold.....as I sit here...I have a 2 liter right on my desk just refilling my glass!!!

My boyfriend does this and it drives me nuts!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Flyfly_Eclipse]

lol! That's cool Lisa...I drink a lot of Diet Pepsi, myself...should probably drink some other things too, but I grew up with a mother addicted to Pepsi, so she got me hooked as well..lol

I can't let my food touch. chicken even slightly touching applesauce or something...eek!! Yuck! Macaroni mixed with peas...no way! I even can't use the same spoon if it still have remains of a different food from what I'm about to use it for. About to eat that cranberry sauce? Not until any trace of the mashed potatoes are wiped off!

I also get food cravings where I want one food, and one food only. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch and dinner....and in between too. This will last for a few months straight, then I want nothing of it. I hate it!

 

[teh fish]

yeah, I do the eat everything separately thing too. Only difference is I don't have to do it; I just do it.

I do this too! My mom and everyone else thinks I am weird that I eat my buger first and not my fries frist. My mom's like you should eat your fries frist before they get cold and I say no I have to eat my buger frist. And I am sure I have other weird habits, but I just can't think of them right now.

 

[zen1]

I thought of another one! I peel the crust off of my bread and eat that frist. Then I flatten the bread and the meat together with my hands( I know, I should not play with my food) and then I eat it.

 

[Lisa L from MI]

I thought of another too...
I have 2 alarm clocks on my side of the bed...DH has his own.
My first clock is set about 45 minutes fast and goes off about 15 minutes before my second one goes off (the 2nd is set 1/2 hour fast).
I don't know why....but the first alarm is kinda like a nice melody that wakes me up...and my second one is that annoying beeping....which I hit the snooze 4 times before getting up!!! I guess I am somewhat awake after the melody wakes me up so then I am less annoyed with the second alarm......

Here's mine

I'm very protective of my pillows. I can't STAND IT when anyone but me touches them. When people sit on my bed, I make them sit away from my pillow......KEEP AWAY FROM THE PILLOW
