Silly Quirks: List them here

[ima6uldv8]

We've all got them. For instance, the volume on my TV is always on an even number. I can't stand hair on my soap, especially pubes. EW! When I get a new bag of Lays potato chips, I pick out all the folded over ones first. Extra crunchy goodness. I'll think of more but until then, what are some of yours?

I do that folded chip thing. And, it's important to buy Lay's, because they have the most folded chips. I thought I was alone in that weirdness.

I'll think of more later, too.

That is so funny! You know I'm going to have to go out and get some now, don't you?

Hehe.... Like some cosmic chip connection.

Another of my quirks, is that I can't stand to let someone else do my laundry. I can't stand the way most people fold things. My Mother is the worst.

I need to go away and get my friends to fill in a quirky list.....................but I so am

Well these are more in line with silly superstitions, and they aren't mine, just my family's...

No hat's on the bed

Never open an umbrella inside

Always touch a screw in the car when driving over a metal gate.


I have a brother-in-law that is so anal about things that I just love to tease him. All of his socks HAVE to stay paired with their 'born with' sock. All his identical white socks...yep, have to stay paired with the one they came with. So, he uses a marker system of dots and dashes on the toe of each so they can be matched with their mate. And his pants and shirts are all next to like colors in the closet, but their hangers MUST be brown, green, brown, green, brown, green, etc... I found this out when I helped them move into their new house. I told my sister that it was so damn compulsive that I had the overpowering urge to just MIX 'EM UP! God, we laughed, and she said that would drive him totally bonkers....hee hee. I still think it would have been great fun to do...

 

[ima6uldv8]

SKM, he sounds like a trip! I've never heard of anyone being that anal. I would have had to mix them up

I don't know if this is a quirk or not, but I always put on my right shoe first.

*grabs two balaclavas, a flashlight and the blueprints to Kitty's bro-in-law's sock drawer so tonight we can go on a socks mixing up mission*

Have can you stand not doing it!!!

Oh my God....I KNOW! *giggle*

And really...he's not weird, or anything! He's very nice and cool...but he was a former Marine, and his mother always said that they did something with her son, because he wasn't the same when he came home.

 

[ima6uldv8]

I always stir my drinks clockwise.
I don't like feet.
I talk out loud to myself. Bad habit but hard to break.
More later. I'm drawing a blank.

Before I go to bed I check for people hiding ... in the closet, under the beds ... but strangely enough in tiny places where no one could ever even fit !!!! The oven, the medicine cabinet etc ... but I still have to check!

 

[blueyz22]

I have to "crack" my toes before going to bed and the covers must be tucked under my feet.

 

[MsTexas]

My food can not touch on the plate.
I have to have at least 9 ice cubes in a glass, 5 if its a smaller one

At work, everything has its place on my desk, I freak if something is out of place. One time when I went on vacation for a week, fellow employees outlined everything on my desk with masking tape. It was a site when I came back. They wanted everything to stay in its place till I got back. LOL

I wipe the rim of soda cans before I open them...and if at all possible, I pour it into a cup/glass.

Unless it's really cold, at least one of my feet sticks out from under the covers.

Any paper money in my wallet is stacked alike with the face side up.

 

[Daizie]

I'm with HD, I always have my paper money facing the same way. I can't stand when they are facing out, back, or upside down.

Have you ever been a cashier?

 

[MollyDolly]

I don't like having pens, knives, or other sharp objects pointing at me- even while lying on a table. I will move them.

Before closing my door when I leave my apartment, I have to recheck my bag to ensure I have my keys and my glasses (even if I have just put said objects into my bag).

At work, I carry a travel-size bottle of hand sanitizer in my pocket.

If I leave my apartment without lip gloss, I may as well return home because I will not make it through the day without it (I know, it's totally Napoleon Dynamite)

I'll keep thinking

 

[MsTexas]

The money thing is another for me. Been a cashier many times ...

LOL

I bet the larger bills are stacked on the bottom too and are in order up to the singles.

I have found my people!

I'm with those of you who keep their money in order and need their clothes folded in a very particular way!

I count all my silverware every time I empty the dishwasher. And I live alone!

When I eat M&Ms, I sort them and line them up by color, and eat them in the following order: blue, red, green, brown, yellow, orange.

When I'm wrapping a gift, I have to cut the ribbons at a 45 degree angle. No one can wrap a gift in my presence because I will not be able to control my compulsion to do it for them.

When we're playing poker, my friends know to wait for me to align all the stripes on my chips. I will bet in such a way to keep different value chips in even piles.

Hmmm... maybe all this is WHY I live alone! lol!

Do each of you have someone in your life who calls you "Monk"?

 

[Annicka]

I'm all over the folded money one. Denominations must go from low to high.. so the stack is lowest to highest.

Towels must be folded a certain way.

Toilet paper so the roll comes over the roll not under.

Can't stand covers touching me if it's warm enough to sleep without them.

Can't stand the thought of touching a hotel coverlet, and always bring my own pillow when I can.

I have to hang onto something as I fall asleep - either the headboard or a handle on the wall. Anchoring myself I guess.. in case of strong wind ??? Who knows?

Quirky little things. Isn't it funny we all have 'em.

I do that too with the money. And yes I was a cashier at 2 different jobs and a waitress for a perioid of time.

As for the soda cans, yeah you should wash them because they are filthy!

 

[hdlynnette]

I realized when I showered yesterday that I always shave my right leg before my left.

When I eat a Little Debbie nutty bar, I break them apart 'oreo style' and lick the peanut butter filling before I eat the wafer. Makes me last longer.

This is a cool thread.
