    I won't eat food that has been mircowaved...leftovers have to be eaten cold or heated in the oven/stove.

    My bf laughs at me because I have to separate my smarties and sweetarts into color groups...and eat them in pairs. I'm almost the same way with M&Ms and Reese's Pieces, except I don't separate them according to color groups. I just can't eat two of the same color at the same time-unless they are the last two left. It's weird, I know it, but I can't NOT do it.

    When I know there's a creepy critter in my house that I've lost (like a giant spider, or a cricket, or God forbid, a ginormo water bug), I walk around the house with my toes curled under. As if the bug can't get me if my toes are curled up. Never understood it, but it happens.

    When I go to bed, I HAVE to start out laying on my left side. I usually turn over to my right to fall asleep. Don't know why it's like that. If I don't do it, I can't sleep.

    So basically, I'm just a bundle of really odd quirks :)

    on the internet/e-mail i write almost entirely in lowercase letters. i only capitalize when i think i need to make the grammar/spelling/punctuation nazis happy.

    in real life, i only print (never write cursive) and i use all capital letters.

    didn't realize this difference until reading this thread. lots of crazy on this thread. i'm happy to be part of the crazy. :)

    I have really bad OCD and it causes me to pinch my boob. Not my nipple, but my boob.

    I've had to explain the bruise it caused to my husband when we got together.

    I daydream about being a hip hop dancer or ice skater.

    Did you like the taste of the other stuff? I do kinda like the smell of bleach, but I've never wanted to taste it. I love standing in the coffee aisle at the grocery store, but at some point you need to leave before people start looking at you funny. :smile:
    Hand sanitizer is gross, but the OxyClean and the dish powder were alright. One time was enough for me, though. I just needed to satisfy that curiosity, I guess. I do still like to stand by the dishwasher while it's cleaning sometimes, and I pull my various blankets up to my nose so I can smell the OxyClean scent on them while I'm watching tv.

    One thing that I haven't gotten over: I love to eat snow. I'll step outside, brush off the top layer, and then grab a handful off the railing and squeeze it into my hand to compact it and then take a bite and suck on it. This morning when we went out to the car, I was putting something in the passenger side and I saw my son was licking snow built up on his window--that's my boy!

    Awwww :bigsmile:

    My business partner has OCD. He checks the doors are locked again and again and again, he washes his hands a million times a day. He sprays ME with Febreeze! I can't interupt him when he is talking and he is totally obsessed with women with brown curly hair regardless of what they are actually like!!

I'm almost the same way with M&Ms and Reese's Pieces, except I don't separate them according to color groups. I just can't eat two of the same color at the same time-unless they are the last two left. It's weird, I know it, but I can't NOT do it.

    I do this too with almost any candy that's colored - M&Ms, Skittles, gummy bears, etc.

    Actually most of the gamers in my role play group do the same. I thought it was ''normal'!

    When I'm with one othe rperson - walking, running, sitting on a couch - I have to be the one on the left. i just feel really uncomfortable on the right.

    Most of my friends I see often are now trained and automatically walk on "their" side.

    I cringe and hold my breath when walking through revolving doors, because I hate them so much.

    I twirl my hair involuntarily. I have since I was two years old and still catch myself doing it.

    When going out with my husband, I always prefer him to drive. Even if we're taking my car, not his. I have no problem driving on my own, though.

    I need all my food to be insanely inferno-hot, and my drinks to be teeth-achingly cold, or else they don't taste as good.

    I noticed some people on here that said they drive past cemeteries holding there breath, so that sort of prompted me to think what I do, might be weird. I have a lot of people in one particular cemetery, and I use to spend hours on end hanging out there. Sometimes during the day, sometimes really late at night. I use to fall asleep there sometimes, in my car. i don't why, maybe because I have a lot of friend in there, that aren't leaving, I was never creeped out or scared of the cemetery, regardless of the time of night, or day, and I did most of my visits alone. I'm weird.......


    I did this for many years, on and off, but haven't in the last 3 or 4 yrs because I don't live in the same town, nor do I have the same urge, per say.

    I also sleep with a fan on all the time. I think it's the noise that is soothing.:flowerforyou:

    I can't whistle or snap my fingers... no matter how many times I try/people try to teach me!

    I'm right-handed, but if I attempt to write with my left hand it automatically comes out backwards and I write it right to left.

    I'm OCD about numbers... kinda like Jim Carrey in that crazy movie, just not AS obsessed, but I have to figure out a way for everything to always be even.

    I love to sing along to songs and if I don't know the lyrics, I just make them up.

    I usually always have music on, especially when I clean the house... although that usually ends in me having my own personal dance party and no actual cleaning getting done. LOL.

    I'm deathly afraid of crickets and will scream and run away like a girl.

    I'm sure there are more...

    I use to be like this for many years......................growing up with numerous people in the house, bedroom with roommates(brothers) I think I was just use to always hearing something. Eventually i was alone, and I think the fan created the noise I needed. Use to use the t.v. but hated waking up to it in the middle of the night. No t.v., no more fan............unless it's hot!:smokin:

    Just got reminded of one. I can't take the front object off a store shelf. So even if someone picks it up to hand to me, I have to put it back and grab one from behind.

    I have to always count my food like grapes.. and everything has to be even.... I think in my head aww something will be alone.. and not have a partner.. like pillows have to be touching on couch in 2's.. so I guess I pair everything up..... I need help lol... oh and I watch step brothers once a week... :)

    my mom and i both worry about things being alone: food, cans, pets, crayons, cookies, words (had to say some of thrm twice), plants, etc. I think it's some kind of OCD:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
