    Pet Peeve - people who chomp gum, people who I can smell their perfume across the room

    Phobia - don't have any. I don't like heights, but they don't terrify me

    Oddities - I cannot look down out of a window at night. Just will not do it

    Pet Peeve: People who are late.
    Phobia: Snakes, spiders and "slow" heights; I can jump out of an airplane or go zip lining but ferris wheels scare the crap out of me!
    Oddities: (superstition?) The pillow on the ambulance cot has to be opening down or there will be a cardiac arrest that day. (Believe, it happens every damn time!)

    My pet peeve is noisy eaters: slurpers, open mouth eaters, people that talk with their mouthful, loud chewers. God it's revolting.

    I am arachnophobic. Absolutely lose control around spiders. I was pretty pleased with myself yesterday, stood very close to a red knee tarantula on the handlers hand at London Zoo :)

    Pet peeve: Rude people really bother me. There is no call for it. I don't care how ****ty your day has been. We all have crap to deal with.

    Phobia: Nothing really. Not particularly scared of anything. Don't really like spiders. Used to be terrified of sharks but I don't meet them that often so I've kinda outgrown that one.

    Oddities: I'm not that fond of cardboard. I don't mind touching it or carrying a box but when I have to break it down and put it in the bin the sound of it scraping against my nails gives me shivers. Like nails on a chalkboard. Is that weird?

    Pet Peeve: People walking slowly while blocking the whole sidewalk.
    Phobia: So many. Some of the weirder ones are space and saliva.
    Oddities: I have OCD so I have a bunch. I NEED ice cubes in my drink, but only if it's the right type (ice goes in chocolate milk but never in plain milk) and I spin on the landing of stairs to keep myself from making a full turn so that I stay in the same rotation.

    Peeve: disrespectful, abusive or demeaning behavior (imagine the chicks on Bridezillas) :angry:

    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:

    Oddity: being emetophobic :frown:

    This, there is a truck stop I drive by every morning on the highway and I feel the need to count how many trucks are parked every morning. Geese flying overhead in V formation? Have to count them too.

    Oh boy.
    Pet Peeves: People that blow their nose on the ground or shift snot to their throat and spit it out. When people replace the toilet paper the wrong way (must go over the roll). Clutter in general (I have OCD as well. This sends me into a panic).

    Phobias: Bees/wasps. Brown recluse spiders (I live in the Midwest). My house catching on fire while we're in it.

    Oddities: I cannot use the bathroom if I have shoes on. It's really uncomfortable for me to even try.
    I'm sure there's a lot more but I haven't had enough coffee to think this morning.

    Phobias: Snakes send me running! Oh and turtles really freak me out!

    Oddity: I can't individually close my right eye, only my left. Also, I can't roll my tongue...I have heard that it is genetic, but I don't meet many people that can't do it...

    I'm weirdly picky about certain things.

    Litter box - not gross to me. I'll clean it out daily. No prob.
    Cat's food dish and food - skeeves me out. I really prefer that my husband deal with it, and the smell of most cat food makes me feel sick. I love our cat or I couldn't handle it at all.

    Messy bedroom with clothes on the floor - not a problem. Cluttered living room - I can deal with it for a week or more before cleaning up.
    Messy kitchen with a few rinsed dishes in both sides of sink, and a few sticky spots on the counter - TOTAL MELTDOWN. This can't happen.
    Bathroom vanity with soap or toothpaste drips - NO!

    Scrubs (the kind medical personnel wear) kind of SCARE me - and even make me uncomfortable if I am standing next to a vet tech in Target...just as much as having blood drawn or going into surgery. Shopping in a thrift store it freaks me out to even brush up against the scrubs. Other medical stuff doesn't freak me out.

    I HATE showers. I can force myself to shower, but take baths 99.99999% of the time. I'll even call ahead when traveling to ensure I get a room with tub. I kind of feel like the shower water is "attacking" me. It's not pleasant.

    Pet Peeves: people who don't wipe away their eye gunk. People who eat popcorn REALLY loudly in the cinemas.

    Phobias: Looking at a lot of concentric circles - bare with me - such as lots of penne pasta viewed fromt he top. I don't know why but it makes me get goosebumps and sick. Also dark areas which I have not gone through before:

    Oddities: after using say a faucet I always wash the stop with a splash of water.

    pet peeve: crying for attention.

    Phobias: the house is going to set on fire, burglars, my cat is also horrifying.

    Oddities: I collect teapots, I cant have the tv or radio on an odd number. I cant go to sleep without looking out my back door first. If i watch a show and it ends/concludes I cannot bring myself to watch the last episode.
