What strange thing does your SO do?

Mine likes to collect transformers toys. He thinks they will be collectors items 20 years from now and will be able to sell them for a profit.
My boyfriend has about 20,000 Hot Wheels cars in his collection! We have an entire bedroom devoted to them!!0 -
Oh, I forgot that he *ahem* trims over the toilet, and 9/10 forgets to flush it... so I get a big furball to pee on.0

Mine hates sounds,like the crinkle sound a bag of chips makes.He also will not walk in the garage barefoot because the concret is to smooth.
He hates words to like elliptical, collectible, and paper cut0 -
My hubby doesn't use his account on here, but since I ratted him out, I'll share my strange habits, too...
* I circle typos in books.
* I also sniff old books.
* I entertain my 9 year old son (and sometimes his friends) by burping the alphabet or doing other stupid human tricks that drive my hubby bonkers (he has no sense of potty/gross-out humor).
* I have to stop the microwave before it finishes because I can't handle the BEEP BEEP BEEP, so I always watch it and open the microwave door when it still has a few seconds left.
There are lots of others, but those are the ones I can think of off-hand.0 -
My boyfriend SCRUBS his eyes in the shower every day! He swears that his eyes are like skin and need to be scrubbed with a washcloth and soap to get them clean. It looks like he cries red tears afterwards! As much as I've showed him that there is no evidence that your eyes need to be cleaned to that extreme he continues to do it.
If he has Blepharitis, then it makes sense:

(In short, it's too much oil production near the eyes.)
But, he shouldn't have to scrub as hard as he does. A little baby shampoo on a Q-tip by the lashes is sufficient, or he can get a cleansing wipe specifically made for the eyes. If he is scrubbing his eyeballs, I have no words to say.0 -

He is scrubbing his eyeballs until the whites are bright red!!! No reason to do it other than his irrational explanation that they are like skin and need to be cleaned!!0 -
He likes to gum my ears if he thinks i am not paying attention. it feels so gross.0
-
Balances the check book. Who does THAT anymore??0

Whilst sleeping, he likes to clothes-line my breasticles on occasion. It hurts. He claims he doesn't know what he's done because he's fast asleep -- I think he's a goddamn liar.

I just shot my drink out my nose. Oh nice! all over my research papers. damnit! lol to funny!0 -
mine peels his toenails off in bed and drops the nail on the floor.. if i dont vacuum regularly, the pile gets pretty big. its disgusting.
My BF has that same pile next to his bed .... I hear them getting sucked up by the vacuum when I clean!!
This is grounds for divorce, it is gross....0 -
Mine used to be TERRIFIED of raw poultry. If I was making s chicken dish, he would run away if I tried to touch him until he saw me clean my hands by practically scrubbing the skin off of them.0
-
he has to "pants" me every time I'm doing anything at the sink....brushing my teeth, doing dishes, rinsing hair color out into the kitchen sink...anytime my hands are busy. Its not helping that most of my pants are too big these days and come down to my ankles without a lot of effort...ugh!0
-
This! I refer to him as my wife sometimes.This is strange to me, but my fiance cleans like my mother does. Laundry, dishes, dusting, vaccuming you name it. Before anyone comes to stay we have to have everything just so. He even folds the TP into that nice little triangle like the hotels do.............................it's weird.....but I'm not complaining

There are a number of things but one (and this is a GOOD one) is that he refuses to audibly fart in front of me. Seriously. I've only heard him do it once in 4 years and he was so embarrassed that I swear he was the color of a ripe strawberry! Come to think of it.....he tries not to burp in front of me too.......weird.0
-
He's really OCD about his hands... anytime he touches something (pets an animal, picks something up off the ground, etc) he has to wash his hands.
He's also really anal/paranoid about expiration dates on food. If it even comes close to the exp. date he won't eat it!0 -
This thread makes me glad that I'm single.0
-
He gets grabby at the WORST times. Like when I'm trying to cook dinner and I'm holding a knife and chopping veggies or messing with a hot pan. I just look at him with the knife in my hand and go "seriously." He tells me I should take it as a compliment. He gets the evil eye and then he laughs at me and says "you're so cute when you're mad." Which then makes me even more mad because I don't wanna me cute when I'm mad I wanna be mad.0

To follow up, here is why it is strange (and amazing) that my wife says she loves me. Here are my strange habits:
I hate cutting my toenails, and wait until they are like long, dangerous talons, making my feet uncomfortable before I break down and clip them;
I can't seem to close kitchen cabinets. Ever.
I save any bits of paper I get, receipts, notes, etc., and only periodically do I actually remove them from my dresser to throw them away.
Last word? iPad.0 -

OMG...must be related to my husband! I HATE, HATE, HATE the "you're cute when you're pissed off" thing!0 -
Eww some of these make me really grateful for my husband lol0

He uses my razor...have to admit the pre shaving gel razors are the bomb and men need some manly smelling ones to trim the lawn with too0

I'm a nut when it comes to expiration dates!! When I moved into my boyfriend's house recently, I threw out THREE garbage bags filled with food, dry goods, cans and spices that were expired or near expired!!!!0 -

This is my biggest pet peeve in the world. My husband closes them, but my kids do NOT. I am going to have a nervous breakdown some day. :laugh:
Also, we have never farted in front of each other. In 14 years together. I guess that is weird to most people. Gotta have a little mystery I guess. 0 -
Whenever we have company, my hubby and I have to go close all of the kitchen cabinets because neither one of us does it normally.

Also, my hubby farts in front of me, but I don't in front of him. We've known each other for almost 7 years.0 -
If we are taking just a day trip or weekend trip, my hubby packs like we are taking a around-the-world trip. An overnight bag would suffice for most of the little trips we do. But no, he as to take a suitcase packed with all sorts of stuff including food. I'll tell him "don't worry, there are grocery stores, drug stores & malls outside of our little hometown if we forget or need something." Travel size shampoos, soaps, wet wipes, toothpaste.......we have enough extras to last a lifetime.0

^^^ I can totally appreciate this. Certain things just shouldn't be done in front of one another unless you really cannot help yourself.
And reading through these makes me so grateful for my better half.0 -
This is the best thread ever! My husband is pretty awesome and Im pretty sure that an objective outsider would say I am the weird one, however... my husband can not remember crap. The weird part is we both know he can't remember, but he will argue with me about past events.
Also the eye thing is going to give me nightmares, no offense but that is freaky0 -

UGH! It seriously drives me BONKERS. I just wanna knock him out when he tells me that. And then he gets all "aww baby, you're just so cute" when I get even more mad and tries to kiss me. One of these days it's gonna be the last time and then I cannot be held responsible for what happens. LOL.0
