    Eating sweet pickles will make me instantaneously vomit.

    Even though blood, guts and gore do not bother me to see them, any medical/biology-type video which depicts blood platelets moving through the veins will make me faint, and I don't know why. I loved taking biology in high school, but would really dread when we'd get to the unit on blood, veins and arteries.

    I'm obsessed with serial killers/serial murderers/homicides/ and the show 'the first 48' and anything related. I can handle gore that most grown men would faint at the site of. My fiance is slightly scared of me I think?

    I'm the same way - I actually had an internship at the coroner's office and had to pick up dead bodies :) most of my friends think i'm quite morbid lol

    My friends too :) glad I wasn't alone with my morbid fascination ;). I saw an autopsy performed live, and got to assist. It was awesome. I am currently reading my latest non fiction book on serial murderers.

    When I was a teenager, I was a hockey FANATIC... my life goal was to marry a hockey player and have his babies
    I cried every single day of Kindergarten when my mom dropped me off. Every. single. day.
    I'm afraid of geese. Every time I take my kids to feed ducks, its like the geese can smell the fear on me and they stalk me. I'm afraid to turn my back on those sneaky *kitten* because I'm convinced they'll chase me and bite me.

    I was bit my a goose a few days ago...
    And I would introduce you to teemu selanne but he is married (I used to babysit his son, eetu)

    I can not stand styrofoam! The sound, when people touch it , or rub it it! Makes me feel a "nails on a chalk board" feeling! Just typing this and thinking about it is bothersome!

    I can't be touched on my navel. You know the whole "I'm funny and I'm gonna stick my finger in your belly button game?" -- that usually results in a reflexive punch from my right hand to offending party.

    Similar but with a less violent outcome, I can't abide being touched on my Achilles' heel.*


    (* Damn that f'ing kid in Pet Semetary.)

    Same for me with the belly button - ewwww hate them!!!

    Some of these are hilarious!

    I get so angry and shake with rage if anyone fills a kettle using the spout rather than opening the kettle up by the lid.

    I Hoover at least 3 times a day.

    I was the first (and last) woman to be married at the top of Blackpool Tower!

    I am allergic to toothpaste - and I can't stand the stuff (despite having to use it obviously) - I cannot abide people cleaning their teeth anywhere else but the bathroom and will go off my nut if anyone were to try walking out of there - and god forbid, talking while doing it!!!! I think this has made me hate mint products too - and I HATE people chewing gum due to it.

    I can write mirror images, forward with my right hand backward with my left hand, at the same time.

    When I was in first grade I was ambidextrous. When my right hand got tired I would switch to the left. I thought this was normal, but my first grade teacher thought I was left-handed and stopped me from writing with my right. The only thing is I am really right handed. To this day I write with my left and do everything else right-handed. I think this has caused me to be dyslexic.

    I cant look in the bathroom mirror until after using the restroom. And even then, I cant look in it while washing my hands. And, I have to put my pants on left leg first and shoes left foot first but I dont care which sock I put on first. I count how many swipes of deoderant I put on. It has to be five or it doesnt feel right.

    I WIN!!

    I haven't had milk in 19 years. I'm 20.

    (pure milk i mean. i still use it for making nesquick and oatmeal). I didn't want to drink a teaspoon of milk, even for money.

    I never tried lamb, pork and beef.

    My eyes change colour depending on my mood. Not good for poker, but my husband at least knows when I'm "in the mood", when to leave me alone, and when to run for the hills!!

    THANK YOU!!! My sister always tormented me with this, and I've always felt *sniff* so alone *sniff* (lol) in this!

    Strange fact... hmm... I can wiggle my ears... on a good day I can even wiggle each one independently...

    I cannot eat with a big spoon. If my husband serves me (which does not happen often) and gives me a big spoon I look at him like he is nuts, and will get up and get a small one. I don't know I'm the same way with forks. I guess in my mind "small bites"? LOL I don't know.

    Me too. But I blame my mom. She always used the smaller "mommy spoon" and gave my dad the "daddy spoon." that's what I do with my kids too. Lol

    Ok, this is kind of simultaneously shocking and awesome. It is almost like having a celebrity on MFP!! Lol
    Ok I will reveal my Husband is related to a very well known Canadian serial Killer, they are cousins, and no he is not at all proud of it, it has caused his life to be sheer living hell because of the surname, and no I will not reveal who it is.

    Both of my middle fingers are crooked. Left one is crooked to the left, right one is crooked to the right. I'm so self conscious about it!

    Hey -- me too! My right points right and my left points left. Plus, my little toes are shaped funny - sort of like triangles with the points at the bottom.

    Most of these! I can't eat with big spoons, hate being touched on my tummy button, hate lines being rubbed the wrong way (like, go completely mental and have to "rub" the lines out the other way), I hate the feel of paper when I have dry hands.


    The thing people find strangest about me is my complete lack of interest in popular culture. I watch films, but not tv, I loathe magazines of all sorts.

    That and the fact I don't use conditioner. People for some reason get freaked out about that. I have no idea why.

    I drink my beer in a glass with cheeries and with a straw. Drink the beer first and the eat the cheeries.

    I owned a 76 dodge dart called The Neil Mobile.

    I have to eat all the small,pieces of potato chips before I eat the big pieces. But then I have to break the big pieces to eat those. But I won't eat a bunch of crumbs. And it has to be one at a time.

    I take my kiddos out of their nap just so I can cuddle with them until they wake up.

    I have a hammer toe:sad:

    I didn't have it until I went to a podiatrist for an issue with my right foot from running in the wrong shoes. As he is numbing up the site for an injection he eyes the other foot and says "Oh you have.."........I shoosh him, saying "I am 50 don't give any MORE medical issues than I am aware"

    He could not help himself and finished "A HAMMER TOE"


    Here I was happily skipping along in life with perfect cute tootsies, and now every time I take my shoes off I see(insert scary music)..............THE HAMMER TOE!!!!!!!:grumble:

    I have an anxiety issue that causes me to get hives when stressed to the max. Once I had them ALL OVER MY BODY and they were as big as cell phones!
