what are your crazy little quirks
Options
i was in the shower this morning, and i normally dont think about much, but today, i actually thought to myself "i never step on the drain" as long as i can remember, i have avoided stepping on shower drains..i cant explain why. it seems creepy to me, maybe. what are the things you do for unexplainable reasons?

When I sit down at a restaurant, I never put my back to the door.

Even when I'm not working, when I get to the gym, I rearrange the weighted plates correctly BEFORE I even workout. Then I arrange them again before I leave because there are still some dumbasses who can't figure out how to re rack correctly.

I count stairs when I walk up and down them.
When I'm at a restaurant I fidget when I order. I never realized this until my husband pointed it out to me. I'm working on that one!
I hum when I eat.
And apparently when I sniff things I sniff like a dog.:grumble:0 -
I can't be in the bathroom with the toilet lid open. Never know WHAT kind of horrible, undead monster might spring out of an open toilet but they are unable to raise the lid from inside.
LOL I don't know what it's about (also a gross thing, I think - tho I keep my toilet sparkling) but I CANNOT be alone in a bathroom with the lid up. creeps me out.
I can't sleep with flies in the house/room. if there is ONE fly in my apt, it has to be released into the wild or killed before I go to bed0 -
I don't know if it's a quirk, but I don't like eating while watching any kind of animals or action type shows on tv. Especially if eating meat.
Also love to brush my teeth! A lot! ha0 -
Quirks... I have a few.
1: whenever I enter a room, I instantly know where every exit is and I make a plan to get to them if needed.
2: I am overly organised. At any given moment, I can tell you exactly where everything I own is. Obviously this does not take into account my wifes obsession of rearranging the house every three months.
3: My same obsession also has me creating spreadsheets and databases to track foor, weight, and menus.
I cannot wear headphones that covers my right ear. If I have headphones, I put the right earpeice above or behind my ear.
if I am talking on the phone, it is on my left side.
Thats all for now.0 -
Whenever I turn on my hair straightener or curling iron, I smell it to make sure it's ready.. Burnt my lip a couple times doing it, but it's just something I always do!0

When I pull up to a traffic light I decide what lane to get in based on the number of cars. If i'm in the right lane with 3 cars and the left only has 2, I will switch to the left lane to make them even. (Safely and not in heavy traffic of course.)
When walking through double doors with someone, I will split the pole. Meaning...I will walk on one side of the pole while the other person walks on the other side of the pole so it's even.
I like symmetry if you can't tell.0 -
My spice cabinet- my spices need to be in a certain order ( those that I use frequently in the front and those I don't use often towards the back). I get flustered when others in the house cook and mix up the spices. I'm not a certified OCD, but it's my only little quirk, I don't know why.0

digitalbill..thats hilarious about the spreadsheets..i do something kinda similar. i have notebooks for everyday of every month since i started my weight loss, as well as one for all the things i can eat @ restaurants that are decently filled calories and sodium...these are all great so far:drinker: :laugh:0

Hmm.. I absolutely loathe the flashing cursor thing which highlights where you are in a Microsoft Word document; or this little box! I have to type really fast to outrun it... or move it way down the screen if I'm reading something back.
It's taunting me now.0 -

If i reach for a piece of fruit or something like that- I have to take the first one I touched- I cant make all of them think they have a chance- its rude to grab one and insult it by putting it back. First one I grab is the one I have to eat.0

I have always smelled my cups before using them. If it smells like it's been in the cabinet for awhile I wash it out before using it. I guess when I take a drink I inhale at the same time so I can't stand if the glass has an odor to it.0

1. I always have to get out of bed on the same side. If I wake up on the other side of the bed I will crawl over to get out.
2. If a black cat crosses in front of my path I do a pretend spit where they crossed
3. When I set my clocks they are at least 12 minutes fast and I have to always set them on an odd number
Weird stuff we do!0 -
Light switches...I like them all to be pointing on way. And yes those darn 3 way switches drive me crazy lol0

I smell every dish before I use it...I don't know why!
When I go shopping I never take the item that is first, I move it take the one behind it and put it back!0 -
Way too much to post....(my wife thinks I am full blown OCD and I am pretty sure she is right)
For example:
All labels have to be facing the same direction, so if I buy a 24 pack of bottled water, I have to ensure all labels are facing forwards before they go in the fridge.
The remote controls are in line from tallest to shortest
I ALWAYS have to walk on the left of people I am with. I cannot walk on the right of someone I am with...my body just doesn't let me.0 -
When I sleep, I always have to be facing the direction of the nearest bathroom.0
