Tell Me Something Surprising About Yourself

I was bitten by a dead shark.

Looking back, it probly wasn't such a great idea to stick my hand in its mouth....

I've also been bite by a snake, a horse, a bunch of dogs, an iguana, a crack head, a racoon, a cat....

Hmmm..... I'm starting to see a trend.

HHHHAHAHAHHAAHA A crack head LOL

This is a fun thread!

Toilet paper always comes over the top!

I am neurotic about the way towels are folded. I will undo any that my husband does!

There was 22 years between my first day of University and graduation... I took the scenic route!

My husband and I were engaged three months after dating, we were friends for two years before our first date!

*I'm an empath
*I use crystals for healing and in charms for myself and others
*I'm a novice tarot/divination card reader

I picked Connecticut to win...

As I'm getting older I'm getting more OCD, drives my wife crazy.

I must load the dishwasher to maximize getting the most dishes in and still clean. (Wife now refuses to load the d/w because I unload and reload it.)

I must have clean sheets each week and have to be the one to make the bed just right, with no wrinkles on the bottom sheet. I also must make the bed each morning, a habit from when I was a kid.

I do most of the cooking and rarely if ever use recipes (unless its a new recipe and then only once).

Since I do the cooking I also do the grocery shopping. I have a somewhat photographic memory and notice when common items go up/down in price from memory.

I love coffee, but can't have caffeine after about 2pm or it will keep me up at night.

I have an extremely analytical job, but think I would be just as happy cooking food all day every day. (But not as a chef, restaurants are crazy.)

In college I was a bartender at an Applebee's. I can still pour drinks really well and enjoy doing it at parties with friends.

I can watch a bunch of kids and not get stressed. I once had a baby that had exploded in her pants, a 3 year old who had had an accident all over the floor and a crying 5 year old. Plus a 10 year old who was watching a movie. At the same time. I didn't freak out (I know some people who would)....I have also watched 5 special needs kids under the age of 10...Some people are really surprised that I would pick the 5 kids over 1 baby. I do love babies, but they are soooo boring most of the time! Haha...So if you ever need a babysitter, call me : ) I can rock a crying baby without freaking out (I think some people think babies aren't supposed to cry,)....Not really related BUT ---- I had a friend text me because they were babysitting a baby and it was crying. Um...Maybe you shouldn't be babysitting a baby if you are freaking out over it crying : P

I love kids and I want to have a big family. Like with 11-25 kids. We know someone who has 25 kids and most of them are adopted and have special needs. Thats what I want.

I got 17 stitches on my chin when i was 3 years old:(
Have the scar to prove it:)

I cannot eat anything on a wooden stick. Like popsicles, corndogs, etc. Or have a wooden tongue depresser put in my mouth. It freaks me out! I don't know why! If I want to eat anything off a stick, my husband has to scrape it off for me. He thinks it's hysterical.

This is great!!!
I can wiggle my pinkie toes independently of the rest of my toes; my husband calls them "my freaky toes"
I met my husband my first day of high school, he hit me in the back of my head with his trombone slide (that is not a euphuism)
I tried to enlist in the Navy right after high school, but was rejected because of asthma

HAH! Got another one
I can do literally everything, when I am sleeping!

I once got up on sunday morning – I overslept a little bit. But I wondered even more why I was coming completely dressed outof my bed (jeans, shirt, underwear, matching pair of socks, jacket and SHOES) and had put gel in my hair. I stumbled to the next mirror, which is in my bathroom, and even discovered that I had already properly shaved my face. Plus: the towels were wet, which ment that I must have showered, too.

Really confused I went to the kitchen and saw (and smelt!) that I had cooked coffee and went to the bakery to get fresh buns.
I left my house, walked about 1.5km to the bakery, buying buns, maybe chatting with the salesgirl, and going back WITHOUT NOTICING!!

Since that day I have never been to that bakery again...

(I was single at this time and no one got a spare key to my flat...)

Additional Funfact:
I use three or four different alarm clocks spread over my bedroom and flat. – Sometimes this doesn't even help.
Because of that I use an App on my phone that forces me to solve several math questions (something like 74x94) or anagrams (bring RALECL in the right order) to disable the alarm.
At first it woke me up right away, but after a few weeks I got used to the task and now I am able to solve the puzzles every 15minutes to snooze the alarm again, without noticing...and that for up to 3 hours straigt.
My girlfriend hates me for that...

My second toes are longer than my first ones.

Ive nearly died about 3 times.

My second toes are longer than my first ones.

mine too
i have been told this is a "predominant trait" so therefore we are further along in evolution than others with a shorter second toe

*I have been slightly clairvoyant since I was a small child
*I have been to at least 10 different psychics in the past ten years (2 were pretty accurate, the others not so much)
*I always read magazines from back to front
