How weird are you? Pet peeves/phobias/oddities you do?
Replies

Phobia: emetophobia - intense irrational fear of nausea and vomiting (feeling nausea can cause me to panic for fear that I might have to vomit - which is strangely traumatic for me.) It's not just uncomfortable for me, it's terrifying. :sick:
I have this too! My other two phobias are agoraphobia and thanatophobia.
Pet peeves: loud talkers in quiet places, nail biters, uneven numbers, people who shove their beliefs, ideologies, politics, etc down your throat without asking. I could go on and on. It's amazing I get along with anyone, really.
Oddities: I have a terrible habit of picking at my lips or chewing the inside of my cheek, or peeling things. It's like stress relief for an anxious brain.0 -
I've just realised I get annoyed when people do the washing up at work, rather than using the dishwasher.0
-
I eat ranch dressing on toast......0
-
Peeves- when people are folding laundry and they don't match up their socks and fold them together, instead they throw them as singles into their drawers.
Phobias- don't really have any that you can see, illness is a phobia of mine
Oddities- I have sanitizer in my purse, my car and at every sink in my house (see phobias) and I eat ranch on baked potatoes0 -
Peeves - Self-absorbed idiots, duck-face selfies, people who "speak" text, the cast of most "reality" shows and the chronically tardy.
Phobias - Burning alive and getting eaten by a shark
Oddities - Can I just say yes, I am odd? Foremost, I like odd numbers (possibly just to annoy the multitudes of people I know who need everything to fit into even numbers), I'm superstitious ( I like to walk the same path to work, use the same door, and being in EMS I believe that if the "Q" word is uttered all hell will break loose (Yes I have historical evidence supporting this). :-)0 -
Peeves:
Anything that is both salty and sweet.
Tardiness.
Dancing and girls who insist that you must do so.
Phobias:
Jellyfish. Major phobia. Tell me that jellyfish sometimes come around a beach and I won't go near the water.
Oddities:
Love squares and multiples of squares, try to arrange everything around that.
Occasionally space out for 30+ mins, sometimes in the middle of conversations or parties.
Have been known to do nothing except eat and sleep for over a week.0 -
peeves: people who are mean or rude for no reason at all, oversharers(ppl who tell wayy too much about themselves to ppl they haven't known long or on a personal level, being late, unprofessional ppl, air heads(not the candy)
Phobias- spiders and sea weed. I will cry if that ish touches me
Oddities- I find myself having to count the time it takes me to get from one light post to the next and so on when driving. Especially on a highway to see how many seconds between each post. I always hope it's an even number. Don't know why!?0 -
Peeves: People eating food grossly , People saying incredibly disgusting rude things to me when they find out im vegan , Men cat calling me and getting really aggressive and mad when I tell them to **** off , people who say yolo, people who say swag,swoopy bangs being constantly tossed to the side you know, people who are late, people
Oddities: I see/hear/know spirits , ufos/aliens , telepathy0 -

I work in Corrections. We don't use the "Q" word either. Same reason, slightly different hell.
Another oddity: I won't eat raisins because they make me think of ants. I don't have a fear of ants, I just don't want to eat them. I get incredibly sad that raisins almost always accompany delicious cinnamon breads. Don't understand why someone would ruin perfectly good cinnamon bread with ants.0 -
+1 for everyone who's said that people eating noisily is incredibly annoying. The woman opposite me at work does it and I could happily stab her at lunchtime - otherwise she's lovely!
also people being late. At all. Like even 30 seconds.
My only phobia is heights, and that's not too bad normally.
I dont really have any oddities, I dont think... Wait - I just checked with my wife and apparently I do.0 -
I have serious anger issues toward women who judge the entire gym area from their throne on the treadmill/elliptical/stationary bike. judging noises, outfits, make-up or lack of it, music, smells, techniques in activities they have never done, frequency of attendance and whether or not that person is good enough in general to be working out in their space... and then log on to MFP about it, post in detail all the things they hate about people in their area trying to get healthy and then encourage others to do the same, in writing, in front of a million people scared to go to the gym for this very reason.0

Pet peeves:
People who go on about how much they want to do something, but find a million excuses not to. You don't want to do it, just admit it!
Also, people who say they'll do something and don't, it makes me more annoyed if it's a company or service that you're paying for. The amount of times I've dealt with this! I've switched companies for some it's got that bad (and it'll take a lot for me to go through the hassle of that) This goes hand in hand with rudeness, usually they're rude!
Phobias:
Not anything in particular that I'd call a "phobia" but I get scared in certain situations when it's dark and quiet at night and I'm by myself walking around (even if it's at home) but it's not the dark specifically as I'm fine if I'm still such as in bed, or watching a movie. I find reflections in the dark quite creepy too - I won't look near a mirror unless the light's on.
Oddities:
I can't stand the feel of polystyrene, I hate it and it makes me cringe so much. When we get it in with packaging at work and it needs to be broken up before thrown away, someone else does it as I don't want to touch it!
I also check things are locked probably way too many times, especially the car!0 -
Pet Peeves: tardiness, people who cough without covering their mouths in a grocery store!
Phobias: i can't eat in a house with a dirty kitchen or a dive bar. stink bugs! bugs period.
Oddities: if i visit your house and i spot dishes in the kitchen sink, i have to wash them. i can't leave my house or go to bed if there is an item the sink and i couldn't pay attention to what we were discussing if you have dirty dishes in your sink! everything else could be a mess though...can't figure out the sink obsession. :ohwell:0 -
Pet Peeves: lateness (especially if I have to wait on someone), bad grammar/spelling, stupid people (I work in retail, so I deal with this all day).
Phobias: Main ones are heights, tornadoes/bad weather and the dentist.
Oddities: If I find hair in my food (even if it's my own), I will vomit. I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, so there are a lot of things that freak me out. Driving is a big problem... I live about a mile from my work and I drive there and to the grocery store (which is in between my house and my work). That's it. I would love to one day live somewhere where I didn't have to drive at all. Um... there's probably a bunch of others that I'm not thinking about right now.0 -

My husbands fathers wife (not his real mother) is the dirtiest cleaner I've seen. I loathe going to stay at their place because it means eating off dirty/clean dishes with pet hair on it. I can't stand it. We got into a fight once when she came to stay with us and I insisted on doing the dishes and her relaxing. I'm the only person who can clean my kitchen the way I like it.0 -
Pet peeves: loud eaters, people who are late, people who believe me dead when my problem is I'm partially sighted
Phobia: People vomiting, I did it loads when I was little (had over 250 hospital visits under my belt before I was 5...) I don't mind it when it's on TV but I DO mind when it's in the same environment as me. If you're like my sister though and shut the door and are a quiet puker, as long as I don't hear it I don't mind. If I do... Expect to find me curled up in a corner0 -
the sound of velcro makes me cringe - i hate spiders with a burning passion - and my biggest pet peeve is when ppl say hun instead of hon
im pretty weird0 -
Seeds from a slice of lemon in the bottom of my glass of iced tea grosses me out. I will use a utensil to pull them out or I CANNOT drink the tea. I don't care how fancy of a restaurant, the seeds are coming out!0
-
Pet peeves: Tardiness, dirty public toilets ( I will hold as long as I can until I get a good toilet)
Phobias: SPIDERS! I will hunt it down until I satisfy seeing it being killed by me/my man. I hate 8-legged creatures
Oddities: None0 -
Pet peeves - loud breathers, dog owners that don't curtail their dog's barking while they are out in the yard, people that stand too close to me in line, people who misuse words
Phobias - worms, what is lurking under my bed
Oddities - sometimes I "ghost type" words - or maybe I should say "air type" -- not sure what drives me to do it and what kind of words prompt me to do it...but I do it...weird0 -
I'm not that weird at all, I don't think.
Pet peeves: Bad spellers and people who have trouble with homonyms. People who make up words and insert R's where they shouldn't be - especially sherbeRt and maRscapone. Those are not real words, yet very widely used (i.e. MFP database). Super irritating.
Phobias - Bugs and spiders. Can't kill them, don't want them in the house. Ants are okay. Since I was in a car accident, I've been scared of changing lanes and do a head check about 10 times before I actually make a move these days.0 -
Pet peeve: blowing your nose at the table, clipping fingernails at work, bad spelling & grammar and people without manners
Phobia: squirrels0 -
Phobia- hand getting stuck in a turned on garbage disposal
Pet peeves- dirty public restrooms
Oddities- This may be OCD but ALL of the dishes must go in a certain spot in the dishwasher lol0 -
Pet Peeves: People who suck at driving, people who show you pictures of their kids, people who come to my door to "talk about jesus"
Phobias: Spiders, for sure. Most bugs for that matter, but im deathly afraid of spiders
Oddities: Pfft, too many to list0 -
My daughter isthe same way, so I purosely turn it onto odd numbers. We will keep this up until the stereo can't go any louder. :laugh: Good Times. LOLI like my car stereo volume on an even number, feels wrong otherwise
Does it end on an odd or even number? :happy:0 -
Pet Peeves-Extreme Immaturity in general, people that use the word hashtag or selfie alot, adults that talk baby talk,people that are never on time, people that drive right on your bumper,people that don't signal,open containers left out or open containers in the refridgerator. People that constantly channel surf on the tv or the radio.
Phobias-Spiders most definently, Deep water,I never took swim lessons as a kid and I love fishing but being in water over my neck scares me.
Oddities-I like cream cheese on my french fries, I sometimes put salt on my ice cream if I have ice cream. I always cook my hamburger in Vinegar most times. I keep from catching colds by taking 1000 mg Garlic Pills and eating lots of radishes. Have put onions in my socks when had really bad cold and thats helped quite a bit.0 -
Pet peeve- people who equate spelling with intelligence.
Phobias- Bees! I love most insects. I was the girl with jars of bugs in my bedroom. but bees freak me out! No I'm not allergic.
Oddities- I cry (my eyes water) when I laugh, even if it wasnt that funny. I can spread/fan all of my toes on my right foot , but not one toe on my left. I almost never hiccup more than one hiccup at a time but I hiccup several times a week.0 -
Pet Peeves: making noise (any kind- especially loud crunching) while chewing, when people sing to a song I'm enjoying, people sitting on me- I HATE it! People who are impolite.
Phobias: going downstairs in the dark (and I'm 22 ha- I imagine it would be pretty funny to see me run across the living room in my pjs to flick on a light), bees
Oddities: I like to play with my boyfriends arm pit hair. When I start to look for something I can't find, I usually will become completely obsessed and unable to do anything until I find said item. Sometimes I'll just sit in my closet and do nothing, for no reason at all.0 -
I guess sort of a phobia...
Hate being in tiny rooms with LOTS of people.0 -
Pet peeves: repeating myself or what I'm doing, constant moving, tapping noise
Phobias: snakes, frogs, worms0
