    Default What are your quirks???

    I just had to ask this question because my dh just told me that I have some really weird quirks!!

    Some of my quirks include:

    Using the same ink pen until all the ink is gone (unless it has gone missing, in which I will litterally spend over an hour looking for it, when there is a pen sitting right next to me)!!!

    I also have to load my dishwasher in a certain way.

    I have to fold my towels and clothes a certain way too.

    These are just a few, I have more, but I will have to check with dh on the ones that really get to him!!!

    So, what are some of your quirks????

    I have to have my pillows placed just so on the bed and I cannot be able to touch the headboard with my hands stretched out above me or my feet hanging over. Pretty easy actually, coz I'm short.

    I hate nightclothes; got tangled up in them and the cover when I was little and thought I was going to suffocate or something.

    I always eat my meal before I drink anything.

    I'm sure I have more but since I think I'm the normal one around here, I can't recall them. DH could probably give me a dozen, at least.

    I can't stand touching raw meat. Chicken is the worst.
    When I use to mow the yard I only did it a certain way no other way.

    Heh, me too! It would take me forever to list my "quirks". It's a long list. A long, overly detailed, and very organized list. lol.

    I chew on the ends of all my pens.

    I can't sleep on my stomach.

    I don't like to throw away pictures of people. (It's like throwing away the person.)

    I have to be covered by something while I'm in bed at night, even if it's a light sheet. Probably goes back to when I was little.

    I can't stand to go to bed when there are dirty dishes in the sink. Everything has to be washed and wiped down.

    I don't like to squish bugs. I scoop them up in a tissue and flush them down the toilet.

    I eat ice cream right out of the container.

    I can't go anywhere without wearing some make up.

    ...and I'm sure there are many more...

    I can not eat or drink from someone elses' drink or food,
    Do not like anyone sleeping on MY pillow, I always keep a knife by the stove. This comes from my grandmother who always said keep a knife by the fire. (It's an American Indian thing)
    I will not go back, I don't care what I forget, I don't go back.
    This keeps me very organized. hahaha.

    Oooo I'm with you..I HATE touching raw meat-especially hamburger. At least chicken I can pick up with a fork but when making meatballs for the freezer, or meatloaf-stuff that needs to be mixed with hands I cringe..for some reason raw meat hurts my hands.

    I fold my towels a certain way. And our collection of DVD's aren't put on the shelf in alphabetical order-instead they are put on the shelf in order of COLOR from white to black! I can't eat watermelon unless it's cut off the rind and in cubes. I can't eat any meat that is near a bone (like bone in pork chops). I always have to have my left foot hanging off the bed at night, and I cannot sleep without a fan on-winter,spring,summer or fall. In the winter I have the window near my bed open a crack just to get "fresh" air at night or I feel smothery. Any birthday cake that I make HAS TO BE round, and three layers. I never leave the house without some kind of cologne on. (unless I'm doing yardwork) The only make up I wear is a particular shade of red lipstick because one time my dentist told me that red lipstick makes your teeth look whiter.

    I can't sleep without air blowing on me. No matter what temperature it is outside. DH hate that.

    I also can't stand touching raw meat. I will wash my hands a ridiculous amount of times until I feel that they are clean enough.

    That's all I can think of right now. I'm sure my DH could list a ton.

    I hate anyone touching my stuff I guess would be my quirk [not that, that's the only one but only one I can think of right now. *lol*]

    That may sound like a spoiled child but I live alone and guess I'm not used to anyone bothering my stuff.

    Just to name a few:

    Hate being called 'babe' from SO. Dear is ok.

    Hate being called 'hon' by anyones, especially from waitstaff, retail, etc. I want to shout "I'm not YOUR hon!!!!"

    I hate when people don't rinse and put dirty dishes in the 'correct' side of the sink... can't be just either side.

    Hate it when 'guys' take off their shoes and socks in the living room and leave them on the floor by their shoes.....icky!!

    Sheets, towels and wash clothes have to be folded and stacked correctly....I guess that comes from working retail and stacking linens on the shelves.

    Letters and papers fold six-zillion times into a tiny square. BF comes home with forms, etc. from work and he's 'wadded' them into his pocket.

    A tightly made bed..........it was expected of me when I was in basic training in the Navy.

    Towels have to be trifolded and placed neatly in the closet.

    A clean car interior. I can't stand to have a dirty car inside.

    A clean sink.

    Clean floor rugs..........I have 48 of them in the house and four large area rugs.

    Guess that's it for me.

    I absolutely DESPISE cupboard doors being open. Even here at work in the lab I go around closing the sliding glass cupboard doors.

    OMG so many of them, glad to know I am not alone!

    I have to keep cell phone by me at all times, if I leave home without it watch out!

    I hate hate hate back tracking when driving. Even if its a block.

    I have to have 2 pillows (certain 2) when I sleep and fan MUST be pointed at me. (little small table fan)

    I have to check my notebook daily. I make a ton of lists in there, and need to check em. Once I tried to throw away it threw off my chi and oh boy. yikes.

    I must check the 20 sites I have bookmarked every morning. Once my computer crashed I was a mess. I hate to forget things.

    I have to get to things early or right on time. I am NEVER late.
