Weirdest hangups.

[naudiz]

What're yours?

I used to have a serious dislike for raw, whole apples. Something about biting into them, the sound it made, just freaked me out. I told this to someone, who said jokingly, "Yeah, it's kind of like biting into a human head." Now I love them. Apples, I mean. Still, sometimes I've got to cut them up first or I get the heebie-jeebies.

I've also got a serious hangup about sitting with my back to a room when I'm in public. If I'm out at a restaurant, I want the chair whose back is to the wall. I like to be able to survey my surroundings.

I always have to keep my keys and wallet in the same place when at home.

Anal, yes. But i can get out of the house damned quick!

 

[Kitte]

I will not eat meat that has bones on it.. like chicken wings or things like that. I mean if someone takes the time to pick the meat off I may eat it but other wise NO WAY!

 

[Private Vasquez]

You know when you're makin' a pie crust and you have to spread the flour out on the counter with your bare hand before rolling the dough out? Well, that makes my teeth hurt. Even watching someone do it bothers the hell out of me.

 

[red_rose]

I used to ALWAYS have to land on my right foot. Over a sidewalk crack... top/bottom of a flight of stairs...in/out of doors...

I still catch myself doing it from time to time, but it's not a hang up like it used to be...


God, that sounds so OCD.

 

[naudiz]

Corn starch does that to me, PV. Can't stand to touch the stuff. Brr.

 

[Laurel]

Chewing ice, or listening to the sound of someone else chewing ice.

*shudder*

 

[Ezarc]

All my money has to face the same direction with big bills on the front and small at the back.

My bed always has to be situated against the wall and I will not have any mirrors in my bedroom. I strongly dislike staying in hotels, because they just don't get it.

 

[Eagle70]

when i fall asleep, my back always has to be to the closest wall...ever since i was little, thats how its had to be, even when i got to college, i moved things around so that it would be that way.

 

[red_rose]

Chewing ice, or listening to the sound of someone else chewing ice.

*shudder*

Sorry, Laurel... We must call off all future rendevouz...

*crunch, crunch, crunch*

 

[glamorilla]

My weirdest hang up is I only sleep with men.

 

[PacificBlue]

and here I thought I was quirky.

[naudiz]

Damn, glam. You're normal compared to the rest of us.

<tangent>

Heard from the living room: Oh no! Sperm!

I'm just not going to ask.

</tangent>

I can't stand to have my neck covered. I can't wear turtlenecks. They cause me to hyperventilate.

 

[joolushko]

I have too many to list really but here are some that stand out:

I eat fruit loops by color.
I have to have all doors in my bedroom, closet as well, fully closed in order for me to sleep.
I cannot abide having feet touch me in any ways.

 

[Ice Cold]

I don't eat chicken on the bone.

 

[Georgia Girl]

The covers/sheets on my bed have to be tucked in at the bottom or I can't sleep. Something about the thing under the bed getting my toes, I know there is nothing there but I will still get up in the middle of the night and remake the bed if the sheet comes untucked.

I can't look at a picture of a cow, chicken, pig, etc. and eat that same type of meat. I just can not get the food to my mouth and look at the picture.

 

[mistressastra]

Ditto with the dollar bills facing the same way. Also everything has to sit on my coffee table just so. My friends call me anal with the way I line things up to the wood.

 

[Sillyman]

I never sit with my back to the door.

I always get spend or immediately get change for any bills I recieve with writing on them.

I always read bathroom graphitti regardless.

I prefer to take my contacts out to read.

I avoid stepping on cracks or pavement breaks if I can avoid it.

I always eat my food one piece at a time.

I will not eat beans for any reason, and will avoid those who do.

[Laurel]

I can't stand to have my neck covered. I can't wear turtlenecks. They cause me to hyperventilate.

OMG, neither can I. I can't even wear tight necklaces or chokers. When I get my hair cut and they put that bib on me, I always put my hand in front of my neck to pull it away from me.

 

[virginleo20]

my hangup asides from what ive gone on about with my psych problems....

I would say that my biggets hand up after those is having to shake hands with someone because i know that 70% (easily)
of people out there sond wahs their hand after using the bathroom.... that is pretty much on an equal base with eating out since i know that the people prepping the food dont wash their hands eighter and some of the produce used is not exactly up to par....
just think of hepatitis, salmonella etc... that you might contract
from those people and their ignorance...
That hand washing thing is in the US of A i cant really say for other places in the world except that most people atleast europe are cleaner...
Mind you that the thing you find in an average european restroom in your hotell room next to your toilet.... its not a drinking fountain....

Hey i cook for my self atleast that way i know that i have clean hadns and clean food on my plate.

 

[naudiz]

Same here, Laurel. And no matter how cold it is, I can't stand to have the blankets anywhere on my face.

I also eat my food one section at a time. Like if I start in on the veggies, I'll eat every one before moving on to the entree.

I used to not be able to look out a window at night. If I was walking past a window I'd just keep looking straight ahead. I was convinced the moment I looked out the window, a psycho would materialize with a machine gun or something.

 

[Ice Cold]

Okay.. I also do the money thing... No blankets on my face either.

Sandwiches have to be eaten crust first.

Keys, Wallet and Watch must be grouped together at all times.

Okay so I have a few!!! Sheesh... At least I never thought apples were heads!!!
