Are you an oddball? Have OCD? Tell me about your pecularities plz. :)

If you want to share with the gb 'class' I may have a few idiosyncrasies. I might share too.

 

[Saint Peter]

I have a cup on my desk for pens and pencils and another for highlighters and sharpies.

It has been said that this is a peculiar behavior. I think it is more about keeping things happy and in their place.

I'm extremely right handed, but only masturbate with my left hand.

I only became conscious of this after injuring my left hand. I couldn't hold anything with it for a few weeks, and went to masturbate with my right hand and OH WOW did that feel awkward.

Turns out my left hand has all the all the rhythm.

"OCD"= Occasionally Creative Dude...
Yup, I'am trying..(to be taken however you read).

 

[pollynova]

I know it's on a timer or a sensor or something, but I get really self-conscious when I got into the bathroom at work and the automatic air freshener goes off.

Are they allowed to intermingle at all? What about if you're using them? Do they sit on your desk and get fresh with each or are they not allowed to touch?

Yes.

I'm good with it. It's the people who seem normal who weird me out.

I say that to my oldest grandchild. Normal is scary. Weird is unique and welcome in our house.

I'm a highly functioning socio...
...linguist.

 

[Tryharder62]

I don't care for antiques. I don't want to think about what other people have done on a piece of furniture. I cringe at the thought. I don't care for old old movies either. I don't like knowing that all the people in them are dead. SAD

To consume a packet of ordinary m&m's (not the peanut abominations) requires a simple procedure which must be adhered to for the proper enjoyment of the confection.

First one pours all the m&m's onto a clean surface (wiped with appropriate cleaning agent) then separates them into their colour groups. Any odd shaped, broken or other wise imperfect m&m's are eaten immediately.

Once segregated, the groups are then counted and a single m&m taken from the group with the most in it. This process is repeated until all groups contain the exact same number of m&m's at which point a m&m is taken and eaten from each group successively until only one of each colour remains.

At this point anarchy prevails and all remaining m&m's are placed in the mouth to be eaten at once.

Thou shalt not deviate from this procedure upon pain of dissonance.



A psych who was paid far too much money once proclaimed he was unsure if my PTSD was debilitating or if it was just exacerbated by my dangerous obsessiveness and borderline autism.

Labels never helped in any case. Functioning is just another case of adhering to social patterns.

[BabblingBrooke]

I will not eat foods starting on the day before any sell by or use by dates. I have to buy perishable stuff in limited quantities otherwise I throw away a lot of food.

 

[Tryharder62]

I also eat the topping off the pizza and then eat the crust...that is it I think.

 

[Colonel Hogan]

When I was a kid I would eat all my meals one item at a time. I'd eat all my meat, then all my peas, then the corn, etc. I didn't like to mix flavors.

I don't do that now, but I did it for the longest time even as an adult.

 

[Conager]

I am Rainman when it comes to numbers. I notice patterns everywhere. Odometer, mile markers, addresses, zip codes, serial numbers. sometimes I'll notice a pattern on a bill in my wallet and I will know for a certainty that I have a very similar-looking pattern on another bill sitting at home and where it is.

I like "interesting" numbers. Palindromes especially. Ladders, repeaters.

I spend money in the inverse order of how interesting the serial number is. I sort my money in order 1s 5s 10s 20s 50s and at the back of the highest denomination bills that I have is where I put especially interesting serial numbers which eventually get spent anyway, generally.

For example I have a $50 bill with serial number 63056305. On a $1 bill I would keep that indefinitely, on a $50 bill I'll probably spend it but it's at the bottom of the modest stack of 50s.

It's getting somewhat annoying because I'm seeing an awful lot of Poker bills lately and they're meaningless and they don't even interest me but I can't help notice. For gas today I spent a twenty 05518008. Three of a kind and two pair.

I ate 2.132 cans of creamed corn earlier this evening, and now I have an irresistible urge (obviously) to crap in your cornflakes.

Weird fuckers. All of you.



And no, the pens are not allowed to socialize on the desk. They are chosen according to task and returned to the proper cup when that task is finished.
