name one, really random, strange fact about yourself

Ok, if you thought the trypophobia was wierd, I have more ...

I type EVERYTHING in my head (like visualize a keyboard) and count the letters secretly hoping for even numbers (oddly both my first and last names have an even number of letters). In general I prefer even numbers. The radio volume in my car can only be set at denominations of 5. I also add up license plate numbers ... and I believe that I've found a pattern, lol!

Also, in relation to my trypophobia; when I experience it I have to rub my finger tips of my fingers against my finger tip of my thumb in a circular motion (if you can visualize that) it helps to ease the weird sensation that the trigger causes.

Even more strange .... My mother didn't even know about this until this past year and NO ONE but you guys know about my typing, even numbers, radio volume and license plate things.

:blushing:

I have never felt more normal.



Edit: I'm totally jerking chains. I can't imagine going through life with most of these quirks. Makes me wonder if there are things that I do without knowing.

I sleep with a waist clincher on.

You know that feeling when you put a shirt collar in your mouth? Yeah i hate that too, but enjoy the terrible sensation of tasting the cotton

So many to choose from?!!! I eat my cereal with a teaspoon and I'm addicted to favorite apps on my IPhone (like MFP & Facebook).

When i fill up my car with gas I have to sit in my car with the door shut. The smell makes me dizzy.

Sometimes when I am driving somewhere that I have been a million times I have a complete mental block and can't remember how to get there. It usually takes about ten seconds of thinking real hard before it clicks.

I will randomly hiccup very loudly and only once.

I am DEATHLY afraid of The Wizard of Oz.

I make candles as one of my many hobbies. :embarassed:

I make candles for a living thats my job...sometimes I wish it was just a hobby its not as easy as it looks :ohwell:

if the toilet has just been cleaned either at home or at work, i will flush it 5 times before i use it because i'm scared my pee chemicals and the cleaning product's chemicals will cause the toilet to explode. 5 times is what it takes.

Lol this just made my day too funny :laugh:

I like peanut butter and mustard sandwiches

Yay.
When I was 3 or 4 years old, I was obsessed with this toy xylophone I had. (I was an only child for a long time, needless to say.) One day, I slipped and fell on it. It sliced through the bottom right of my lower lip, deep enough that my pediatrician told my mom to take me to the ER to have it stitched up. She opted not to and let it heal naturally. I still have a scar from it. Cool story

Austin Powers isn't the only one who puts the "GRRRR!" in...

Tomatoes are my all time favourite food. I eat them like apples and buy bags and bags of them every week

I hiccup all the time, but it will be only one hiccup
I have a photographic memory about where things are ex: car keys, remote, where's the butte inthe fridge, etc
I talk to my dog as if he's a person and feel as if he understands and actually responds back to me and even refer to him as my son
I have to run and jump on the bed for fear someone is going to drag me under the bed
I can't touch laundry fresh out o the dryer(it's like nails on a chalkboard feeling)

I will eat just about anything with ranch and/or peanut butter on it
I am deathly afraid of snails and slugs and immediately burst into tears if I see one
