    I too am a crazy my food can't touch person. i always eat my veggies first, meat last. Friends hate going out for breakfast with me as i always ask for my eggs on a different plate and then spend 5 minutes pushing my food around, arranging them nicely and then eating...(oh and if you do go for breakfast with me please don't dip your bacon in the maple syrup it makes me gag)

    i don't make my bed in the morning, but i make it before i get in it at night. the sheets have to be snug and the pillows perfect

    :) I eat M & M's two at a time by color :)

    Guilty as charged! I am so crazy with my food, the m&m's in pairs by color, nuts in pairs, one on the left side of my mouth one on the other. Sheesh! Crazy crazy crazy!

    My money has to be all facing the same direction and be sorted by denomination, descending.

    did you work at a bank?? i did and am the same way now. just irritates the hell out of me when people give me money and it's all screwed up

    Along with condiments, I also don't eat any dressings or syrups. Therefore, my salad is basically lettuce and cheese, my pancakes are just that. Plain pancakes.

    I don't mind if my food touches, but I don't mix them and I eat one item at a time until it's gone.
    I don't eat anything with a bone in it (no t-bone steaks, chicken wings, ribs).
    I don't like most condiments/sauces (excluding ketchup and ranch).
    I press my parking break button multiple times when I put it down to ensure it's disengaged.

    I'm sure I've got more...

    I often imagine that I'm being watched. Not by someone who can physically see me. Like if I'm singing along with a song, I imagine the singer can see me. Other times, when I'm working, I imagine my boss can see me (he lives three time zones away). I don't know why. And sometimes, it's a good thing because it steps up my better behavior.

    Same here. Helps me keep track of how much money I have. If I only have "ones" showing then I'm low on funds.

    - I also don't like my food to touch.
    - I like having a plate full of mashed potatoes and making a crater in the middle and filling it up with applesauce.
    - All 'fun size' candy bars are one bite only.
    - Have to eat everything one at a time.
    - I LOVE ketchup. You know those big ketchup containers with the pump on the top, I have two of them in my fridge. Nothing better than some fries with my ketchup.
    - I love a 1/4 cup of brown sugar on my toast.

    I have many more things but this is all the crazy I'm going to show for right now :smile:

    I always eat jaffa cakes in the right way, how I eat them makes them taste better, other people eat them wrong and thus they are insane and have no clue. I like them more than anyone else because they taste better to me.....not crazy at all..........................

    I'm the same way! Always attributed it to when I worked retail and they actually required us to straigthen the money out before we cashed out at night. I also have to make sure the little creases and folds are straightened out too. Drives me nuts when hubby gives me cash for bills and they're all facing different ways. He just rolls his eyes at me as I "tsk" and straighten out the pile.
    Also drives me nuts when cashiers give me change in ascending order!

    ETA: my boss is one of those "no food touching" people - almost makes her gag when I bring in leftover shepherd's pie for lunch. Heehee

    All the clothes in my closet are sorted by color and type. . So if you were to look as my daughter says"RAINBOW ORDER". .. Just me, and then all tops break down into all tanks together, short sleeves then long sleeves. . sweaters. . .etc. . .lol. . And as much as possible you will see that the hangers match the color of the item. . Except right now decided to buy a bunch of black hangers, because their selection was crap. . .lol

    Food can't touch. I eat one thing at a time from least favorite to most favorite. I can't touch anything after my fingers wrinkle from being in the water too long. I go into a trance when certain people talk to me over the phone...something about the sound of their voice. Same trance I go into when someone brushes or plays with my hair. I always run up stairs because if i go slow I trip!

    I do the same thing, lol...anything that can be eaten in 2's....m&ms, skittles, peanuts, cheez its, etc

    If there is an odd number, I will either give one to my husband or throw it away; has to be an even number!

    I won't taste cottage cheese simply because of the way it looks. I refuse to even try.

    I used to have an aversion to the mix of fruit and protein.... such as pineapple with Candian Bacon on pizza, apple sauce on porkchops, etc. Fiance is slowly working me through this aversion, but I still cringe at the thought...

    I constantly feel that I've trapped my cats in the dryer. So when I turn it on, I stop to check it no less than 4 times before I will let it go on a full cycle. And even then, I ask my husband multiple times if he's seen the cats just to make sure.

    I had no idea that people had such issues with food! Im the complete opposite, Im like andrew zimmern from bizare foods ill eat ANYTHING! I get so bored eating the same thing all the time, im constantly going to random ethnic restaurents and ordering things that I have no idea what they are just to experience other foods. I also enjoy mixing random foods together and condiments are a MUST. My boyfriend says I eat "weirdo foods." haha

    When I buy socks and wear them for the first time, from the first time I put them on til they wear out, they will forever stay a left or right sock.....and I can't wear socks/sneakers without putting lotion on my feet first.

    If my french fries are crusty on the ends, I'll hold one crusty end and bite down to my fingers and leave the crusty end. Drives my husband crazy!!

    My family has fun with this one: I do what I call "molecule fingers" when I'm waiting for something like waiting for water to boil. I quickly touch my pinky to my thumb, then ring finger to thumb, middle, index over and over on both hands. I know it doesn't really work, but in my head I am exciting the water molecules so it will boil faster. It started when I used to drive home very late and was trying to keep myself awake, then it progressed to the water boiling watching, then just when I am waiting for something like a bathtub to fill up. Silly, I know...

    I have to make up the bed in the morning, first thing, as soon as I get out of it. And I have to make sure it's still made when I go to bed at night. It has to be tucked in at the bottom. It drives my boyfriend nuts because he hates it being tucked in. I literally can't sleep if I feel like my side has come untucked. I have gotten up in the middle of the night to make up the bed so I can go back to sleep.

    I don't care if my food touches when I make my plate or it's brought to me (like at a restaurant) but I will move things around so they aren't touching when I start eating.

    I have to have cheese on my sandwich/hot dog/hamburger or I won't eat it. The only exception is if it's peanut butter and jelly, then no cheese. Besides cheese, I need mustard, at least. Mustard and ketchup is ideal.

    :happy:

    i dont like mixed foods...it makes me sick. I like a lot of combination, but a single meal made out of a bunch of mixed foods (and I dont mean like making cookies -- eggs, flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, vanilla extract -- I mean if you mixed cookies, icecream, brownies, sprinkles, and whipped cream together:sick: ) makes me nauseous.
