What's YOUR weird quirk?

[Tigger&Belle]

But my weirdest one is that I hold my breath when I pass someone on the sidewalk. I freak out thinking I might breathe in the air that someone else just blew out.

I only do that in the cold and flu medicine aisle of the grocery store. Scared to death of those germs. Sometimes I'll peek down to see if anyone is in that aisle that looks real sick and if so, I'll come back after they are gone.

I freak out when I have to drive across long bridges that go over water. The thought of being stuck in a sinking car terrifies me. It goes along with the fact that I have a phobia of drowing or suffocating.

I have that phobia, too. Goes back to a couple incidents. One was about 20 years ago and I had to drive over one of the bridges going from Virginia into DC. The bridge had steel plates and is was raining VERY hard. Scared the bejeebers out of me. The other time was about 16 years ago and I was meeting my DH in Galveston, TX where he was in a conference. It was nighttime and was raining hard. I made it across the bridge and then proceeded to get lost looking for the hotel. Those two things gave me bridge issues. I was able to go pick my daughter up for college recently, though, and drove across the Bay bridge in Maryland. I was dreading it, but had no problems whatsoever. It wasn't raining, but was overcast and sprinkling.

I have real tunnel issues, though. I don't mind when someone else is driving, but I get tunnel vision and feel lightheaded. I don't know that I could trust myself to drive in one, especially a long one.

I have a lot of the same quirks as the rest of you. But my weirdest one is that I hold my breath when I pass someone on the sidewalk. I freak out thinking I might breathe in the air that someone else just blew out.

I'm sorry, but that's too funny!!

I have to brush my teeth several times a day...I don't know why, its just a compulsive need I have. Also, I quote movies all the time...I think I could probably speak in nothing but movie quotes.

Sad huh?

geez where do i start? lol, ok, here's a few:

1. when i go to bed, i HAVE to lay on my right side first-at some point, i dunno when, my body just tells me, lol, i'm ready to turn over to my left.
2. i weigh myself EVERY morning after i get out of bed.
3. i CANNOT, under any circumstances, eat chicken off the bone. i don't like ribs either.
4. i can't look at a picture of a snake in a book or magazine or see one on tv without being afraid it'll bite me. (yes, i'm ophidiophobic) if i suddenly see a snake on tv or when i turn a page in a book, i usually scream.
5. i won't mail letters from my house, i make my DH stop at the post office on his way to work to mail them.
6. every night before i go to bed i look around my kitchen to make sure it's clean-if it doesn't pass inspection, i have to fix that, lol.
7. i'll only eat one of two breakfasts: 1 slice wheat bread w/ 4 slices bacon & 2 homemade protein balls OR 1/2 a small apple w/ 2 tbsp pb & 2 homemade protein balls. i even took my breakfast supplies to wdw with me, lol.

i'm sure there are more, but i'll have to give them some thought, lol.

I always have to have chapstick or lipstick on.

I'm one of the annoying people who try to get off the plane quickly. Recycled air freaks me out and I feel like I'm suffocating if I can't get fresh air.

I'm afraid of spiders in any form. Centipedes too.

I still sleep with a stuffed dog I've had since I was a kid.

I have to wash my hands after handling coins. They gross me out.

Let's see...

I can't STAND to have stuff dripping down the side of a cup or bowl or something. I have to either lick it or wipe it off...which sometimes gets me odd looks when I take a friend's cup (a GOOD friend, not some random acquaintance) and lick it after pouring some out.

If I'm eating something with macaroni, I have to have an even number of macaroni on my utensil.

I have to make sure the dishes are pratically clean before loading them in the dishwasher. The thought of food just floating around in my dishwasher creeps me out.

I know there's more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

Well, I'm sure this girl that you're going to have coffee with will like that you brush your teeth! But you might not want to do too many movie quotes! And most certainly don't only speak in movie quotes to her!

You might get the award!!!

 

[ashjohnson80]

I have to smell everything before I drink it or eat it. If it goes in my mouth I have to smell it.
One of my feet has to be naked and out from under the covers for me to go to sleep.

 

[spacemountain]

I have to sleep with a blanket on, even in the summer and the sound of the ceiling fan helps me fall asleep.

When I eat sandwiches or burgers, I eat around all the edges first then eat the middle.

When somebody else laughs, it always makes me laugh.

I have a huge fear of fires.

I hate the sound of silence.

I can't stand it when people smack their lips.

I also cannot open a can of biscuits because it scares me.

When I wash the shampoo out of my hair I always do it left, right, middle.

I don't like other people to watch me brush my teeth. It makes me nervous.

I have to sit on the end at the movie theater.

The only peanut butter I like is the peanut butter in Reese's.

I love crawfish but I can't stand pulling them apart.

I don't like to wear shorts unless it's really hot outside.

I know there's more but I can't think of anything else right now.

. . .

. . .

I have to sit on the end at the movie theater.

Yes, yes and yes!

I only do the first one with burgers

I have a specific 'route' I follow when brushing my teeth, and washing my hair and body.

I have to sit on the end because I always need to use the toilet!

 

[katedrew94]

Hmmmmm let's see.

I don't like to mix ANY food. If syrup even gets on my sausage or bacon, I won't eat it.

I HATE feet. Well, baby feet are OK until they are old enough to get sweaty.

 

[TENIA66]

We all have them!! You know you do.

I have several but one of them is I cannot sleep with my feet hanging over the bed. I'm scared something, don't know what though , will reach up and grab my toes. And I cannot sleep with socks on no matter how cold it is.

I also will not enter a movie after the lights have gone out. Just won't do it. Even if it's still just the previews playing. DH found this out when we were dating and it still holds true. Won't do it, can't make me!

So let's hear your weird little quirks or habits. Don't worry we won't judge you........much.

me too on the socks and hanging over the edge of the bed!!!!

 

[TENIA66]

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.

me too!! i'm convinced it will wind up in my fan or something and come in thru the vents or down by my feet!!!

 

[TENIA66]

I won't walk across thoes grates that are in the ground. I will even go out of my way to walk around them.


me too! i'm terrified i'll fall in.....

 

[TENIA66]

When parking, if I can find a spot where the one in front of it is empty also, so that I can pull right through and am facing outward without having backed in? You know what I mean? That makes my day.

me too, i'm afraid i'll run over a child.

I thought of another one I cannot look in a mirror when i'm naked, too terrifiying!!!!

 

[TENIA66]

Ithought of yet another one for me, i can't eat in a restaurant if i'm seated facing away from the door, i guess i'm afraid of who'll sneak up on me,

also, i can't eat facing a mirror....

 

[TENIA66]

Yet another one: I can't sleep with unshaved legs. The feeling of stubbly hair against the sheets freaks me out.......or stubbly legs against each other

 

[TENIA66]

more even!!

i hold my breath when i pass a car on a two lane highway!! i guess to make myself skinner so it will increase the likelihood i'll not get hit....................


i can't stand dirty feet, if i wear sandals in public i'll wash my feet every time i go to the restroom

i can't sleep without a shower, even a catnap...........
