What odd quirk do you have?
Replies
-
Whenever I lose or misplace something I always get this voice in my head telling me exactly where to look. Even if the item or pet is in an odd location that makes no sense, I always go right to it.0

I have to think about which hand is my left vs right for longer than I should.1

I wear Chuck Taylors pretty much exclusively. I have about a dozen pairs, all different colors, and I often match them to the color of my shirt. I even have a pair of brown leather Chucks for when I have to look all professional and *kitten* that don't look too out of place when worn with khakis.0

Dream me is a savage. I have betrayed most friends and family members in my dreams and have often left them for dead without a second thought. I have also laughed myself awake and woke up crying from some dream I had. If you talk to me in my sleep I will also most likely answer you, but it probably won't make sense. At one point, I was reading and responding to texts in my sleep (or maybe I was waking up and doing it but I would have no recollection of it the next day) so I moved my phone to where I couldn't reach it in my sleep.
I often mumble to myself. I'm highly forgetful so it happens a lot in the grocery store. Usually I'm mumbling the items I already have in my cart to myself or the items I need to get. I find talking aloud helps with remembering things. Fellow shoppers probably think I'm insane.
Most of the time I ride around in the car in silence. I don't like background noise for the most part and I find silence soothing. Oddly enough, I can't sleep if it's completely quiet. Both of these things I think are a function of growing up in a loud house with a lot of people where there was always noise.
I am severely directionally challenged. My instincts are always wrong when it comes to what direction I should go in whether I'm looking for a street or in the wilderness or at the mall looking for a certain store. I've found if I actually go the exact opposite direction of my first instinct that is the right direction.
I have poor vision that wasn't caught (or didn't develop) until I was a teenager. It took me years to start finally wearing my glasses all the time because when I would wear them I felt the world was "too sharp" and I preferred it blurry.1 -
I keep a record of how many hours and how many miles I drive, and have been doing this ever since I got my learner's permit (I have been driving on my own for a little over 4 years now).0

I count stairs in my head as I go up or down them, even if I know how many are there. We live in an apartment on the 2nd floor and there's exactly 20 stairs. I know this. Yet, every time I walk up or down the stairs, in my head I'm counting...1

I have weird quirks with food. If things I am eating are multi colored I have to eat them in a certain way. Ex: Skittles- have to be sorted out by color, green go in the trash because they are *kitten* gross. Orange and yellow get eaten together. If there are 3 orange and 2 yellow I eat the extra orange first. Purple and red get eaten together too, but if there are extra red I save those for last because they are the best.
I do the same thing with skittles. I'll empty the whole bag, sort by color, then eat all of one color before moving on to the next.1 -
Hahaha! I do this too, but it's not necessary for me, I can also eat all of them at once. I even do it with M&M's & Reese's pieces too if I'm bored.I have weird quirks with food.

Near the same, cept I prefer orange mostest. Green is barf central! Original Skittles my butt... :grumble:
I will admit that ever since they changed lime to green apple I am extremely bitter towards Skittles. I don't buy them hardly ever anymore because I don't want to throw out half a bag of candy! Plus green and yellow were supposed to be eaten together. They totally *kitten* that up for me!!
I prefer starburst over skittles. I eat starburst the same way though.0 -
I have to tap my glass on the table before I drink out of it. I used to do it just with soda to get rid of some of the bubbles, but now I do it no matter what beverage it is. #crazy0

Me too! I can control it better when things are individually wrapped though!
Now and Laters are a perfect example too!AngryViking1970 wrote: »I have to tap my glass on the table before I drink out of it. I used to do it just with soda to get rid of some of the bubbles, but now I do it no matter what beverage it is. #crazy
I typically only do this with shots after a toast.0 -
I didn't even know skittles had different flavours. I usually just much em all and enjoy the rainbow1
-
They do indeed have different flavors. The lemon is my favorite.
People say M&M's are the same but I can taste a difference in the colors. Blue most definitely has a tiny smidge of bitterness to it & red is more noticeable than blue. Brown is the sweetest one.0 -

what would you do if one day there was 22 stairs?0 -
I don't eat chicken off of the bone. All of those bones, cartlidges, and veins waving at me, no.
Straight boneless chicken breast for me. Wings are dumb, you have to eat 50 of them just to get full. 0
