What are your quirks?

One of my favorite questions when I meet new people is finding out their quirks. Here are a few of mine:
1. My closet is organized as Roy G. Biv (the rainbow). I even bought 1 yellow shirt even though I don't ever wear yellow just to fill that spot...I know. lol
2. When I eat, I finish 1 item on my plate at a time. I don't think I have to, in fact I don't pay attention, its just something I do. (Pointed out by my brother-in-law every time I eat...seriously, every SINGLE time).
3. I am a chap stick addict and have them in various locations so I always have one. I hate living in such a hot place because I can't keep one in the car (grrr).

Your turn. And Go!

    You sound like, organized, fun. How many chap sticks do you own at a time to feed the addiction?

    A couple Of my quirks: 1) hate to see a thread with potential go down 2) I don't like to reveal all my quirks- I like to spring them on people unexpectedly

    If I touch a cotton ball, or watch someone pull one apart, I will gag and possibly throw up...

    I am an empath so I cannot take large social settings for too long without getting exhausted.

    I have a very deep knowledge of pop-culture and past culture, with an expansive vocabulary and ridiculous IQ so I sound funny when I talk with people.

    I make everything relate to everything else in my life.

    I, am a supah nerdy/geeky contradiction.

    I enjoy farting and self-love (not at the same time though)

    I don't like to answer phones, or respond to txt, or email, or much. I have lots of red numbers on the iPhone apps. Drives people nuts.

    My biggest quirk is that all my little quirks cancel each other out... so it SEEMS as though I have no quirks... pretty quirky, no?

    I eat one item on my plate at a time, too! Mainly because I need my food HOT, not just warm, so I purposely eat the things that cool faster (like green beans) before I'll move in on heat-holding foods, like baked potato.

    I play with my hair. Like constantly. I can't stop, I've tried several times. Whenever I have a hand free, especially in front of the tv or reading a book, one hand is up, twirling strands of hair around my fingers and sliding them under my fingernails. Idk, I just like the sensation, it calms me. My mom says I've been doing it since I was at least 2. I'm pretty sure by now it's a cemented psychological addiction, like a smoker's hand-to-mouth motion. I sucks when I have product in my hair, cuz then my fingers will get sticky from the hairspray, which I find annoying.

    I am also addicted to chapstick. I have tubes and tubs at work, in my purse, in my hiking bag, and in three different rooms in my apartment.

    When I go on walks with my friends I prefer to walk on their left. I feel uncomfortable being on their right side.

    When I get nervous I roll my foot on its side.

    My left eyebrow has a mind of it's own. It's always arching up without my knowledge betraying my thoughts.

    These are such amazing and unique quirks, without them we'd just be ordinary. Keep them coming!

    I tend to laugh a lot, it's a joke amongst friends.
    I never finish what's on my plate.
    I keep my style simple, black or white t-shirt, jeans and my reefs...

    I have a serious lip gloss addiction. My co workers keep a tally of how many times I apply it throughout the day.

    I have a particular way I like to clean. I've been known to rearrange the loaded dishwasher to my cleaning standards. My house is nearly spotless.

    I have a lot of food quirks and am a really picky eater as a results. The one that gets me a "what the h*** is wrong with you?" the most often is that I like fruit and I like baked goods, but I will not eat them mixed. That means no to pie, filled doughnuts, blueberry pancakes, cakes with strawberry jelly stuff in between the layers, etc.

    I also have my closet arranged by the rainbow, but I am not an organized/clean person, it's only my closet and computer files. My desk at work and office/room at home... okay let's be honest, it's the whole house... are filled with miscellaneous piles of stuff.

    No one is allowed to touch/use my pillows or blankets except Mr. Pineapple and they are never to touch the floor. I have designated pillows and blankets for guests.

    I'm constantly fidgeting. If I'm standing, I sway back and forth. If I'm sitting, I'm swinging my feet or bouncing my knee.

    I have a really hard time going down escalators. Going up isn't as big of a deal.

    I sleep with a blankie (I love the warmth and cuddling with it)

    I tear off and throw away the end of the hanging toilet paper in a public restroom because I know the last person touched that part.

    I have a thing for ear lobes. I love touching other peoples ear lobes and often when bored I will play with my own between my fingers. Really tiny or weird ear lobes gross me out a little bit.
