What's YOUR weird quirk?

[mommaU4]

I just thought of one more!

I hate to touch newspaper. I hate the feel of it and that my hands get all black. If I have to pick it up I hold it like a dead fish from a corner edge and then wash my hands just in case some ink got on them.

Makes it real tough to look at the shopping ads! I love the Target ads and any others that are printed on that shiny paper, not newsprint.

These are all hilarious!!
Here are just a few of mine.

1.I always blow on ice cream before taking a bite(this also goes for popscicles,snow cones,etc)
2.I love to chew on popscicle(sp?) sticks
3.I Have to sleep with my head at least 6" away from the headboard,AND my feet can't hang off the end .
4.I have to look in the toilet before sitting (I have a fear of snakes coming up through the plumbing and biting me on the )

Okay here are a few of mine:

I have to start to sleep on my right side.
I have to have the sheets pulled up to my neck (irrational fear of vampires) even in summer.
If I wake up anytime between 3AM and 4AM I can't get back to sleep until the sun comes up because that's "the witching hour." Not that I believe in that!
I can't sleep if any closet doors are open..goblins...again, not that I believe in that!
I can't sleep with the doors open, even if that means suffocating in summer.
I hate calling people I don't know on the telephone.
I don't like my foods touching.
I eat foods in the order that they get cold. I hate cold food if it is supposed to be hot.
I have no fear of being on stage, but I am terrified of public speaking...even though I taught a class in it.

I am sure there are others.

It is already a family consensus that my children have a zero percent chance of being "normal." The kids have a long history of quirkiness to live up to.

Well, I am glad to see I'm not the only one with "quirks" Here is the list I compiled while reading.

1. Can't stand to eat meat on a bone. I will only do it if I have to and I will not eat much.

2. I get freaked out at church during the greeting time when I have to shake so many hands. I refuse to touch any part of my body that is not until I wash my hands. Sometimes I go to the bathroom at that time just to avoid it.

3. I don't like the smell of newspaper and will try not to breathe when opening it up.

4. I take my watch and jewelry off as soon as I get home. I don't notice it at work, but at home, they get very uncomfortable.

5. I don't like anything between my toes, not toe rings, not straps from flip-flops and especially not those toe socks. Those things are evil.

6. I hate it when my fingernails are jagged. I can't stop obsessing until I take care of the problem

7. I can't clean one ear without doing the other. Just feels weird.

8. I don't like to touch magazines in public places. I am convinced they are covered in germs. (probably are)

9. I have to sleep with at least my feet covered.

10. I don't like things that fly or jump. (birds, frogs, crickets, dragonflies) They are too unpredictable and I get really nervous around them.

I have a lot of the same "quirks" as many of you.

My blankets/sheets CANNOT be tucked into the bed...my feet get squished. And I usually fall asleep with one foot not under the covers (DH calls it my thermostat regulator )

I cannot stand wet hair on my fingers/hands. I purposely stop after washing/rinsing my hair to make sure there are no hairs on my hands. I could never be a hair-stylist.

The dishwasher must be loaded a certain way (forks and knives up, spoons down, cups, bowls, plates in certain spaces, etc.) and I HATE unloading the dishwasher...DH does it for me.

I get physically ill if someone near me reeks of garlic or stale beer.

I also cannot stand it when someone eats peanuts and then breathes on me.

I know there are more, but those are the weirdest, I guess...

-I can't sleep if I'm sitting up, like in a car or airplane.
-I can't sleep if I'm too hot or cold
-I can't sleep if I have any lights on in my room
-My door MUST be shut when I'm sleeping
-My TV has to be off before i go to sleep
-and most importantly MY CLOSET MUST BE SHUT (I get so scared if it's open for some odd reason. Too many scary movies )

Gosh darn it! I am sleep deprived!

Other than my sleeping problems....

- I can't stand singing soprano (I'm an alto)
- I HATE being first trumpet (I should be like 'yay' but I hate it.)
- I have too many quirks
- I have multiple laughs and it depends on which kind of laugh I use by who is with me


Ok....I'm gonna stop now

Good to know there are other people with weird quirks.

1. I like mayo on sandwiches but on cold ones only a little and on hot I like a lot.

2. I hate sleeping in a bed that doesn't have a top sheet, it always seems cold to me without one.

3. I don't like to walk over grates either, but not cause I'm scared of falling, I'm afraid of what is in there that might come out. Too many Stephen King books in my case

4. I don't like to wear shoes in the house, I take them off in the minute I come through the door. There are even times when I am only coming in to grab something really quickly that it makes me cringe when I don't have time to take them off.

5. I have to sleep in a completely dark room and the door has to be locked.

6. I cannot stand to sleep with underwear on.

I hate styrofoam...the squeaking of it accidentally, or the feeling of it, gives me the SHUDDERS!!

I have to have it perfectly QUIET to be able to fall asleep and stay asleep.

I hate my water cold! My teeth are just super-sensitive I guess. The less cold the better (not warm or hot of course!) The colder the water, the slower I can drink it.

I hate carbonated drinks...which includes all soda! It burns my throat, and I have to swish it around for the fizzing to wear down before I can swallow it!

I have a supersonic memory, especially with names and numbers. This one can be a curse and kinda scary to people because alot of times people do not remember me or my name, and I will remember their names and all about them years later.
My DH will even ask me for a person's or store's phone number and quiz me to see if I am right...I always am!

I am deathly afraid of cockroaches...it's not just a fear, it is a paranoia PHOBIA! I totally freak out at the sight or mention of them, dead or alive!

I also have to have covers on (even just the sheets) no matter when, even in hottest of summer. and usually are up to my neck. I also have to have my sheets tucked in TIGHT at the bottom of the bed...feeling of security I guess. My DH is the opposite, so we have had quite a few disagreements about this...LOL I also have to have all the doors (bathroom, closet) shut too.

- I can't stand singing soprano (I'm an alto)
- I HATE being first trumpet (I should be like 'yay' but I hate it.)

Well, technically, if you're an alto, then you shouldn't be 'able' to sing soprano (I'm mezzo-soprano, and always had to take the soprano when I was in school)

My major musical 'quirk' is that I just cannot play with other people (unless it's singing!).
I'm primarily a pianist, but completely solo. I'm great on my own, but I just cannot coordinate with other musicians, whether it's with other instruments or a piano duet. I managed to do it for my GCSE ensemble, but that was it!

I also can't work with a metronome! Nothing puts me off more!

 

[spacemountain]

I thought of another one- the smell of chicken noodle soup from a can makes me sick.

 

[McKelly]

I hate it when there are drips of water on my windshield on the car. It drives me CRAZY when I am in the passenger seat and the person driving lets more and more drops of water accumulate on the windshield before he/she turns the windshield wipers on!

 

[BandGeek911]

I also can't stand balloons! The noise they make sends chills down my spine!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

I have to sit facing the door when we are at restaurants...i guess im afraid someone is going to sneak up on me?! i like to see who walks in the door..

Another weird thing is i cannot sleep while the fan is on! I used to be petrified when i was little that the fan would fall and crush me...i still cant sleep with it on!
