I started a thread like this about a year ago and it was a big hit. So instead of going on a quest for that one, I'll just start a new one! :)


TELL ME ABOUT YOUR CRAZY.


My food can't touch.
I don't eat any condiments (ie. ketchup, mustard, mayo, pickles..)

    Oooh, I have lots of these.

    I can't stand it when people touch me on the top of my head. I also hate the sound of people brushing their teeth.

    My food doesn't touch. Or I don't eat it.
    I eat one thing at a time, no take a bit of this then a bite of that.
    Lettuce makes me gag.

    I've known a few ppl with that food touching thing, which cracks me up cause it all mixes together in your tummy; but whatever. I don't know that I have a crazy food thing. I like pepsi with milk, like Laverne - is that crazy? esp after a night of heavy drinking - course, I don't do either of those anymore so it's kind of moot now.
    I actually LIKE liver - most ppl consider that crazy I guess

    i'm the total opposite, i'm the condiment queen! I could never eat a dry sandwich, and am a "dipper", if you will....i'll dip anything in anything! and have been like that forever

    I need my sandwich in a certain order or I can't eat it, and my hot dog and hamburger rolls have to be opened perfectly. My husband tried doing hamburgers a few years back and the roll was not taken apart properly and I needed a new roll, needless to say that was the last time my husband made my hamburger again lol. And yes I have slight OCD :-)

    And now for more:

    I have to eat my sandwiches crust first, meaning that I eat all around the outside first so that only the middle is left. This applies to ALL sandwiches and burgers.

    I won't touch door handles unless I have something to cover my hand. I will use my shirt if I have to (and have many, many times).

    My food also can't touch

    I separate any colored candies I get (M&Ms/Skittles) into groups of color and then eat them from least to most, except in the case of M&Ms blue is always last.

    I always, always eat my veggies first so that I can savor and enjoy the rest of my meal (I HATE veggies so I have to force them down)

    I won't eat anything blue.

    No blue food occurs naturally (blueberries are purple, people)

    When I eat grapes, I have a habit that I don't even notice I'm doing. I will stuff my mouth until I can't fit anymore in there and then smush down. YUM! It's so much fun!!!

    If I go to a freshly cleaned toilet (where you can still see the bubbles or purple cleaner in there) I will flush the toilet 5 times. I have a fear of my pee and chemicals mixing and then exploding while I'm sitting there.

    I am exactly the opposite, but only with grilled cheese. I eat the middle first and then consume the crusts. Favorite part of grilled cheese sandwiches.

    Do you know I have never eaten meatloaf? And honestly it doesn't look like something I'd want to try. Maybe your momma's is good though! :happy:

    I say "AMEN" like 12 times at the end of my prayers.

    I've always done this. When I was in private school, I was told "AMEN" meant, "that's it, or that's final", so I was afraid anything I thought AFTER my prayer, God would think was part of my prayer. So I had to make sure he knew I was done.

    I still do it to this day.

    :laugh:

    Before I eat a sandwich I take the top crust off of both pieces of bread. It's ok for the other three sides to remain.

    My food also can't touch. When I was little, my parents wouldn't take me out to get a hamburger because they were embarrassed. I had to take the hamburger apart and eat it in a certain order. First the bottom bun, then the top, then the hamburger patty, last the pickles.

    Also when I was little, I refused to eat pepper because it looked like dirt. I had previously been spanked for eating dirt. My father put white pepper on everything so I couldn't see it.

    Now I eat the outside of a food before I can eat the inside. I skin pickles with my teeth before eating the inner part of the pickle. Before I stopped eating ice cream I ate the chocolate parts of ice cream sandwiches and brown cows before I would eat the vanilla parts.

    I only like onion rings. All other forms of onion can stay off my plate, thanks.

    Lol, that's the kind of crazy that I can appreciate.

    I make my husband take a shower and do any bathroom-related activities BEFORE I clean it. And I make him go to another bathroom for at least 3 hours after I've cleaned to preserve that "just-cleaned" feeling when I walk in.

    I can't eat any food that anyone has leaned over...like muffins displayed on a coffee shop counter.. And forget trying to eat birthday cake after someone blew out the candles (i.e., spat on the cake.)

    I have to have all my food "prepared" before I eat it. If I have a baked potato the butter and sour cream need to be on it before I eat any of my other food. Raw onions make me gag, but I can eat onion rings and green onions. I used to have a thing where all the cereal boxes had to be facing with the nutrition facts out (not because I was health nut, but becuase I just wanted it that way). haha

    I take all the toppings off of my pizza and then dip them in ketchup. Then I eat the crust dipped in ketchup too. I haven't eaten a piece of pizza intact in probably 20 years.

    when i eat fries, i put ketchup on top of the fry (per fry) as i'm eating them. and sometimes i don't know what flavor i want in my mouth last so i'll eat 1/4 of one thing then the other and go back and forth until i know which i want to eat last...

    Oh - you totally can't go to one of those help yourself frozen yogurt places, can you? I LOVE those places - I just try not to think about it. Especially when I see little kids stick their grubby hands in the toppings. :sick:
