-when i eat a hot dog, i must have exactly as much hot dog as bun. so the hot dog must not be sticking past the bun, nor the bun past the hot dog.
-on AIM, when somebody puts on an away message, it automatically puts a little yellow post it by their name on the buddy list. i arrange my buddy list so that all of the names with yellow post its by them are on top and those who are not away are below :)
-i cannot wear my pants with the belt buckle in front, i loop it through the belt loops so that it is situated on the side of my waist.
-when I am using my tripod, the little thing that i screw onto my camera has to be realllllllly tight. if its swiveling around it drives me up the wall!!
-editing my pics before ANYBODY sees them. my dad always asks "oh show me the pics u just took" and i tell him "DADDDDD!!! I haven't edited them yet" now he asks just to provoke me :)
-when talking amongsts my closests friends i am very obsessive about refering to "your mom" a lot :)
okay..... even wierdness from me :)
:) :) :)

Did you find this out as part of your quest for "curiosities being satisfied"?
Oops! Sorry, wrong thread. <wink!>

LOL *tries not to look embarassed*
Most of my "quirks" are food related. I won't touch supermarket samples, buffets, pot-luck dinners, or any food a child has been in contact with (well except my kids). I don't eat most seafood, no fungus, only a handful of fruits even fewer veggies and basically 2 meats.... my diet is tedious and boring to most, but predictable and perfect for me! I can always find something to eat where ever I go and I don't make a big deal of my preferences. Unless you knew me well you'd never notice I ALWAYS pick the icky stuff out of a meal and leave it on the edge of my plate.
I re-read that and thought "I sound like one picky biatch!!" but really it isn't like that. I always let the people around me choose the pizza for example knowing that there will be something there I like. I just push aside the parts I don't and eat happily. I really never make a fuss, but my kids get it... they know I buy LOTS of stuff at the market only because THEY like it and I wouldn't touch it for anything.

I am afraid of hard lotion. You know...the when lotion gets dried up on the end of a lotion bottle pump? I will not touch it. Gives me the willies!
I cannot stand to have my belly button touched.
I love putting raisins in chili. (A pregnancy craving that never went away)
I will sweep and mop a dirty floor but leave a sink/counter full of dishes. Dirty counters don't drive me NEARLY as nuts as a dirty floor. |
I thought I was the only one who hated having my belly button touched! I CAN'T STAND IT! And of course, my boyfriend, knowing full well how much I hate it, constantly burrows his finger in there. I grit my teeth and act like it doesn't bother me so he'll stop, but then I just freak!
The part about the lotion was so funny too. It's so gross. Another strange thing is that I hate when people brush their teeth and toothpaste foam is all over their mouth and down their chin. |

I agree totally about the fingerprints. Whenever my wife is showing someone something on the screen she always points at and touches the screen, sometimes even sliding her finger across the screen. Drives me mad. |
I am SO with you - if someone even goes NEAR my screen I jump down there throats and say 'If you touch it I'll kill you!' And I'm the most passive person you'd ever meet.
WHY don't people understand that a monitor is like an eye - you'd NEVER put your finger on someones eye would you? |

I don't step on white lines, I also try not to drive on them (that's hard though). I have all digits in numbers add to 4 for anything such as time (like setting the alarm at 6:52 or 7:06). Most of my PS settings also add up to 4. I always use the same soup spoon to eat soup and cereal; I've had that spoon for 28 years, and I feel quite lost without it - I really like that spoon.

I get hooked on a few food items at a time and don't want anything else.
I've had enough Dr. Pepper in my life to raise the oceans four inches.
I have to check my microstock sales every 8.6 seconds. And it's not like I get that many!!!
I double filter my tap water to turn it into really good drinking water.
I have to get my grammar and spelling right even in forum posts.
I love a close friend's dog as much as if she were my own. Really. |

I am laughing my a** off! Seriously funny stuff! I know, I know, not to you. Some of this stuff is downright funny. Must be the wine I'm sipping. No disrespect intended. Honest. :)
Okay, I'll admit that I have things happen to me in threes, and so I look for it. It's weird, and probably laughable, but it's real enough to give me the creepy-crawlies when it happens (example: like finding pennies right outside the passenger side of my car, all with the same year, all heads and not tails). I always feel like I'm in a fricking twilight zone, but maybe I should just study statistics and see if those odds are normal.)

That's actually a very common "chefly" quirk; I carry a particular spoon in my pocket and use it for tasting and eating both. I know a LOT of professional chefs who carry a personal spoon. If I don't have my spoon, I won't order soup. I can't STAND eating soup with an inadequate spoon. The funny thing is, very few people who know me even realize I HAVE a special spoon. I'm very subtle about it.

My grandfather had his special fork. I have my special ice cream spoon. No other spoon is right for ice cream but this one. I have thought of taking it with me when I eat at Coldstones, but I am so afraid I will lose it that I suffer through with their cheap plastic spoon. But the whole time I'm secretly wishing I had my special spoon.
As I mentioned already - all my shirts, including t-shirts, must be hung to prevent fold lines. I left out that they all have to be facing the same direction. The front of the shirt must face to the left. And the styles of shirts must each be grouped.
Butter - do NOT get crumbs, or any other foreign food in my butter!!! I wipe the knife off with a papertowel before I stick it back in the tub. And the level of the butter (margarine) in the tub must be kept level.

I won't use the toothpaste if the hubby leaves the cap off
I'm so terrified of cockroaches that I once stayed in a hotel and one crawled out on the bathroom floor, I threw the change I had in my pocket at it until it left (from about 15 ft away lol). I then checked out and went to the next town over and rented another room.
I never have, and never will own an electric can opener, they scare me.
Before you all start thinking I scare easy, I don't! Just cockroaches and can openers.

I don't mind a moderatly dirty room.
I'm not much for keeping my stuff in perfect order.
BUT I have a special spoon that I have used for years, I even had it with my when I was in the army and if I forgot my spoon in my locker or something I would rather carve a new spoon then eat with another.

Aw, heck... Just add vanilla extract for that matter... That's exactly how "vanilla coke" came to be int he first place, as a soda fountain treat. I add all kinds of extracts to my sodas, truth be told, when I'm seeking something different.

I used to do the same thing, except I've now stripped the female connector on my camera and now I can't use my tripods at all. *pout* |

Ok heres mine,
If I am getting a fountain soda in say Mcdonalds, and there are 2 fountain heads, my soda must come from the left head. I am a neat phreak, every Monday I come to work and clean and disenfect my cubical before I start working, and at home I can help see a dish from dinner sit more than 5 minutes after dinner any where but the sink. The last one is I must have my stuffed animal when I go to sleep at night. I know that sounds weird but I have tried many times to kick the habit and failed and lost many nights of sleep.

There must be a flaw in every image I make. It might not be noticible to anyone but me, but it must be there, even if I have to add it.
I will never finish everything on my plate. Doesn't matter how small. I will never eat the last french fry, never the last bite of a cheeseburger, no matter how hungry I am. |

Good to know I'm not the only one with that last oddity. I don't know why it is, either, but I cannot finish everything on my plate either.
Oh, and my images always have flaws, most noticible to everyone BUT me. :-) |

I have to have all of my clothes hanging on hanger that face the same way. I have been known to change the hangers in other people's closets so they all face the same way.
I can't leave food containers on the counter after making a meal, a sandwich, whatever. It all has to be put away before I eat.
I have to have a napkin when I eat, even if it is just a cookie.
I'm sure there are more.

ok here are some of mine:
I like to arrange items in a shopping cart just perfectly so that no space is wasted. this is hard as the kids and hubby for that matter just throw things in. but at the register I HAVE to put them on the conveyor perfectly. it's like a game of tetris sort of. no space wasted. just perfect.
Speaking of which...I rock at tetris. no one better than me! Wanna challenge me? bring it on..lol I can play for hours without dying. its a length of time/level thing more than a points thing. I may get beat at a short "get the most points" game..but not in a "see what level you can get to" game.
I have to keep my feet off the ground when checking email or updating dpc scores. I try to tell myself thats not some weird ocd thing. rofl. but that its an odd lower ab exercise. but there have been times the internet went down or the udates were just taking so long that i thought i couldnt possibly hold them up any longer and stuggled until i physcially couldnt do it. lol. I know WERID..but thats what this thread is about right?? O'll keep telling myself that.
also I cant be late or even on time for that matter. I'm a half hour or more early for everything just to be safe. its harder now with kids and a husband who dont feel that way too but even if we're just a mile away from somehwere and we have ten minutes left till were 'supposed' to be there I will bitch the whole way thinking "we may be close, but we're not there YET. something could happen. then we'll be late and look like inconciderate idiots who dont know how to read a clock and dont care about holding others up"...What's weirder is I dont think those things when others are late. (unless its more than a half hour and its someone I know is habitually late)
I also prefer to eat ice cream with a baby spoon. not sure why. but it's not a neccesity.
I have a ton of oddities but that'll do for now.
