What's YOUR weird quirk?

[mommaU4]

MoniqueU: I won't eat meat that looks like meat either! No steak, chicken wings, etc And I won't touch raw meat.

Sparx: I refuse to watch a horror movie in the daylight. It has to be dark outside and no lights on. Otherwise it ruins it for me!

I don't know if this is a quirk but I won't eat any kind of seafood. Never tried it, never will. No fish (even tuna), no lobster, no shrimp, no crab legs, no oysters, no sea food whatsoever! I won't even taste it. You'll never see me in a Red Lobster I promise you that!!!!

I will not walk on grates in the street.
I hate wearing socks to bed.
I have to have my Tinkerbell blanket (so soft) under my sheet closest to me because I feel warmer.
My blue, soft "hotel" blanket has to be on top... Jake and Sassy like laying on it (if you look in my siggy, it is in there)
If I haven't seen my cat for a while, I cannot go to sleep. I have to get out of bed and find her. She just might figure out how to open the doors or windows one of these days and get out. LOL.
My food can't be touching eachother even though it all ends up in the same place.
I hate feet touching me. I just can't do it. I'm ok with the sight of them, but once they touch me. *shudder at the thought*
My blinds have to be closed at night or else I can't go to sleep.

If people put ice cubes in milk, it freaks me out.

Better not be at my house. I have to have ice in everything, crushed ice is even better. Even if it's cold already, like canned soda right from the fridge, I have to pour it in a glass with ice. I just like all my drinks really cold. I even have an A&W rootbeer glass mug that I keep in the freezer and I love it when I pour the soda in there and little ice crystals form on the top of the drink like a slushie almost. And no, I do not drink coffee or tea ever.

I also like to see our animals before I go to bed. Otherwise I'll think they are locked in a room. One time one of our kitties was looking out the storm door and someone, not realizing where he was, shut the front door and he had to spend the night there. Poor kitty!

I'm obsessed about checking on our animals before we go on vacation. I want to be the last one out of the house and I want to see each of the animals before locking up. I'm scared that one of them will be locked in a room and our pet sitter will think they are just hiding (she doesn't see one of our cats--he hides when she drives up). We had 2 cats and 2 dogs and it took me awhile to get out the door, but now we also have 2 kittens. It will be time to get home from vacation before we ever leave the house.

• I'm irrationally afraid of frogs and toads. I know they won't hurt me but, I can't help but scream if one is in sight.
• I have to have my sheets and comforter perfectly aligned and straight before I can go to sleep. I've been known to wake dh because I've tried to straighten the sheets while he's sleeping.
• The covers have to be up to my chin (at least) before I can fall asleep.
• I can't stand the way the floor feels on my feet so, I wear socks all the time. However, I love the feel of grass on my bare feet.
• I can't stand the sound of teeth on a fork. *shiver*

 

[mommaU4]

I hate it when the dishwasher is not loaded correctly, mainly because everything doesn't fit in as well and the cups flip over if they are not anchored somewhat.

At least you use yours! I have one and have never used it not even at family gatherings and holidays where there's a ton of dishes. I wash them all by hand. No gloves either, don't like the way they feel, so my hands are very rough and dry. No one can understand why I won't use my dishwasher. I dunno.

I keep thinking of more and more weird things that I do, or don't do which ever the case may be. Is that bad?

You need to load your up and take it for a test drive!

I've thought of another one, after posting on the Amazing Race thread. I can't help but tear up if I see someone else crying or about to cry. I tear up just thinking about it. Can't help it!

 

[simba928]

I just thought of another one.
I hate having my back to a door. I don't know why. I take after my dad on that one, though.

 

[Forevryoung]

I thought I would win the award-

1) Even if it is 100 degrees outside, I need a heavy comforter on top of me. (its the weight of it that matters)

2) I cant sleep with socks on because my feet have to be touching.

3) Wet hair once it falls out (like in the shower or until it is dry) freaks me out. I shreek and cry sometimes because of it. Dont ask me to clean it up either.

4) I eat all my food one thing at a time. I only put one food item on my plate at a time.

5) I am paranoid I am going to get a flat tire so sometimes I get out of the car to check.

6) Sometimes I dont like people touching me.

7) I have a routine for everything (at night i go to the bathroom, wash my hands, brush my teeth, wash my face... every night)

8) I hate shaving (goes with #3) and would never do it again if it wasnt taboo.

9) I hate stepping in mud. Causes severe anxiety/panic attacks actually. The fact that my shoes are getting dirty and the squishy sound and the feeling put together is too much.

I'm sure there are more, I just cant think of them off the top of my head. Thanks guys

I can't drink out of a glass cup - it has to be plastic. It just makes me think of fingernails on a chalkboard.

Can you believe it...I'm just the complete opposite. I can't drink out of plastic cups. They have to be glass.

I don't eat off of paper plates either. I don't like the scraping sound of the utensil on the paper.

 

[jenm2878]

I smell everything before I eat it.

Have to be covered while sleeping.

My cats have to be in my bedroom at night - am afraid there will be a fire and I won't be able to find them.

Can only watch scary movies during the day otherwise they scare me.

I am a big supporter of personal space - please don't invade mine.

I need background noise at work. I can't really "hear" my radio but I can "hear" the silence.

I'm sure I'm a bigger freak then this, will have to think more.

4. I always look in the toilet bowl before I sit down

I did not used to do this but now I ALWAYS do! About 8 months ago, we had a baby possum that kept coming up to our door and getting in our garage, I mentioned to my DH that he must be dying or hungry to get so close to the house even in daylight. Well a couple days later, my DS, then a little over 2, came to us and said "doggie" he then took DH by the hand and led him into the bathroom, where the dead possum was in the toilet!!! There was a spot where he could get into the main water lines near our house, which I guess is how he ended up there.

I only have two "quirks"

1. I must have lipstick on at all times

2. I must wear earrings at all times.

Even when the kids were babies and would wake up crying at 2:00 in the morning, I had to put on lipstick and earrings before getting them to feed them! Supposedly my great grandmother was the same way, I guess it is in the genes! Which reminds me, I need to go refresh my lipstick!

Quirks:

I refuse to eat vegetables out of a can - exception: tomatoes, vegetable broth and tomato paste. Ditto for coffee out of a can - you'll get me to try that with a gun to my head.

I will only buy wine with a cork in it and it has to exceed a certain price point. Beer has to have microbrew somewhere on its label.

I never drink water from the tap, even though 20/20 has proven how many times about all the junk they put in the bottled stuff.

I really feel like a freak when I don't wear pantyhose or socks and have naked feet in shoes. Yuck! I just do it to fit in.

I keep my seat belt fastened at the Drive IN movie. I once had a date complain about this. The car might roll.

I have a problem with hair that is one length. Too much Farrah influence I guess. Spice it up. Layer it, already.

Don't make me walk on anything that involves a ledge. I'll risk my life walking around it.

Mc Donald's french fries are only good when they are dipped in a chocolate milk shake.

If I go to an espresso place and I'm unsure of the quality, I'll have them throw in almond flavoring to mask it.

I never go out on Saturday the 14th, because for some reason, I have bad luck on that day.

 

[Mysteria]

See my tag! Though I did come up with I can't stand wood in my mouth (spoons, popsicle sticks etc.) on the things that freak you out thread. Maybe that counts as a quirk too. lol

Myst

 

[Kimberly]

My bare feet can't touch grass!!!

I LOVE that feeling.

I have to sleep completely covered too, I can never sleep nude.

I have to watch scary movies with someone, otherwise I can never go to sleep at night.

My food cannot touch other food on my plate otherwise I won't eat that little section of the food. My friends in college thought I was such a weirdo for this... I hate mixed foods...

I too look before I sit down in the bathroom. My mom and I are outnumbered in our house!

I LOVE fruits and veggies. I would rather have these for a snack than ANYTHING else, and I've sometimes just ate these for a meal.

 

[SDFgirl]

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I am TERRIFIED of robots!! Especially ones with red eyes! I consider myself a pretty rational person, but if I see a robot, even if it's just a person dressed up as a robot - my throat clenches up!

My nose whistles constantly. I can "toot, toot" it like a horn. My fiance thinks it's hilarious. I think it's a big pain the you-know-what.

Can't eat any meat that's been chopped and formed. It's all spongy and weird...ugh. Same for meat with the bone in it.

My biggest pet peeve is any type of Christmas carol, commercial, or movie that comes on after about Dec. 26. Even that is pushing it. It just seems so sad and pitiful to me. Same with lights and Christmas trees after about Jan. 2. Christmas is over people!! Let's move on!!!

I like to make graham cracker soup. Get some graham crackers, sugar cinnamon is best. Put 'em in a bowl and pour milk on top. After the milk has softened the crackers, mash them with a fork. Pop it in the microwave for about 45 seconds (that last step is optional). Mmmm-mmmm good!

There, I'm through. That felt good!

 

[Charade]

You guys are scaring me.

FREAKS!!

 

[CrazedDisFan]

I MUST have at least a sheet on me to sleep, preferably a heavy, heavy blanket.

NO feet off the bed for me, thank you!

I can put lipstick, lip gloss or lipliner on perfectly without a mirror. This severely irritates my mother.

I can't remember what I ate yesterday, but I can tell you all my friends phone numbers from high school 15 years ago.

My legs are longer than my husbands and he's 4 inches taller.

 

[2BigKIdz]

If I see a snake in the road I will do almost anything to avoid running over it, I am afraid if I hit it the snake will somehow hang on to the underside of my car and get in.

too funny, my mom thought the same thing! She was terrified of snakes and was convinced they could get in the car this way.

 

[2BigKIdz]

I don't like my food to touch! I end up with a lot of plates at buffetts but really haven't eaten that much I also eat 1 thing at a time, for example if I have a sandwich and french fries, I eat all of the sandwich and then the fries, no bites of this and a bite of that for me.

I see I'm not the only weirdo around here that doesn't like their food to touch! I also have 2 cousins and 2 friends that don't like their food to touch, who knew there were so many of us

I don't like being "dressed" to just sit around the house, I don't sit around naked- I were pajamas or shorts & t-shirts until it is time to go then I get dressed.
