What odd quirk do you have?

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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).

    How about this one...I'm not sure if it's a quirk or I'm just stupid...sometimes I blank on which pedal in the car is the gas vs the break, the way I remember is "b" for "big one" is for "breaks"!

    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...

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Me too! I can control it better when things are individually wrapped though! :D

    Now and Laters are a perfect example too!

    I typically only do this with shots after a toast.

    I didn't even know skittles had different flavours. I usually just much em all and enjoy the rainbow

    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.

    what would you do if one day there was 22 stairs?

    I don't eat chicken off of the bone. All of those bones, cartlidges, and veins waving at me, no. :mask: Straight boneless chicken breast for me. Wings are dumb, you have to eat 50 of them just to get full.
