    I have a condition called misophonia. Basically I get driven insane at repetetive ambient sounds, like the bass from a TV in another room, someone clipping their fingernails or people chewing. It skyrockets my blood pressure and makes me more angry than anything else in my entire life. When I heard that there was a word for this, I was elated that I wasn't the only one. I've had to eat alone since I was 13 years old, which is about the time when most people begin to show symptoms. It's definitely made my life... interesting.

    I'm absolutely terrified of vast waters, like large lakes and most definitely the ocean. Which is why my reward for my UGW is a full nautical tattoo sleeve. :) Embrace your fears. (I highly doubt I'll set foot in the ocean even with octopi and sharks on my arm though/)

    I have to have the volume and thermostat on even numbers



    I have this type of OCD as well. I even do cardio to even numbers either by cals or minutes.

    When I pump my gas, I can not leave it on odd numbers...

    Same here, ugh

    I have synethesia....where the senses are intertwined--some people can smell colors, taste smells and the like. Mine involves spatial-sequence, or number form synesthesia, numbers, months of the year, and/or days of the week elicit precise locations in space (for example, 1980 may be "farther away" than 1990), or may have a (three-dimensional) view of a year as a map (clockwise or counterclockwise).

    I had no idea that I had this until I heard it described a few years ago on a new program...I just thought everyone thought of their numbers/years/months/weeks/decades/centuries the way I did!

    I do the numbers/years/months/weeks/decades/century thing too!! I tried to explain it to someone, once. I just got this really weird look.

    Glad there are others out there!

    I can walk with my feet twisted around to face behind me. It kinda freaks people out.

    I also use my computer mouse turned backwards and tilted to the left.

    I'm legally blind in my left eye (born this way, not a lazy eye) and have almost superhuman vision in the right eye.

    I'm similar, but not blind. Only monocular. One eye works at a time. No 3-D comic books for me! It gave me crazy good hearing though.

    I walked away un-touched from a 100MPH motorcycle crash.

    Just one ? Holy crap. I have so many. Ummmm...I count the stairs as I walk up them. (But not coming down...no...that would be REALLY weird...)

    Sometimes I get distracted looking at something because I start counting how many colors are in it.

    I have to have no cents in the total, preferably an even number, but I'll also accept a 5. Same with restaurant totals, I round up to a 5 or 0 at the end, sometimes an 8 or 2. I have left some very generous tips. Haha

    Other people don't do that? Not being a smart *kitten*, I tend to organize my thoughts like that and thought everyone did too. (And I was a teacher!)

    I have a very strange phobia, midgets. Not sure why. If Im at a store or something and see a midget down the isle, I go the other way.

    Me too.... can't explain it at all... I will break out in a cold sweat. My family thinks I'm rediculious ...

    I lived in a cave when I was little.

    Yes, an actual hole in the side of a mountain.

    I cannot burp - never have, doubt I ever will. Tons of beers, many sodas - it does not make a difference. Not sure what the deal is.

    I love this thread.

    I own over 300 bottles of nail polish (sorry dude up there! ^)

    I read a book a day.

    I think I have "misophonia" after reading this up there. Can't wait to research it.

    I love the hole in the roof of the mouth thingy. I'd love to hear it! I mean that in the nicest way! ♥

    (I lol'd at the BS and BA ref. Yeah. I have to do simple addition on my fingers!)

    I am afraid of crumbs! Everyone who knows me knows this. A crumb can be a piece of food, hair that's not attached to a head, lint or fuzz - any little piece of ANYTHING freaks me out and I will go to drastic measures to make sure it doesn't touch me! I shake the bed out every night before I get in it. If my boyfriend's already in bed, I make him get out. I can't lay down in it without shaking out the crumbs. I wipe the bottoms of my feet off before getting in bed so I don't bring in any crumbs in that way. I don't walk on hard floors barefoot because I can feel the crumbs on the bottom of my feet. I don't like crumbs or food particles left in the sink. I just hate crumbs! I have ever since I was little. My dad had this recliner and it had a spot in the middle of it, so I would sit squished on either side, but never would I ever let that spot touch me. Same with car seats. I get freaked out because I just know there are crumbs in the crack of the seat - especially if it's raining outside because I just know they'll stick to me.

    I guess I'm kinda OCD. I'm always wiping down counters and stuff like that. I Clorox wipe everything all the freakin' time. I take at least two showers a day and a bath, sometimes more. Even if I don't work out. I like the volume on the TV, my car radio, etc. to be a multiple of 5. I inspect all my silverware, glasses, plates and stuff before I eat to make sure there are no crumbs or water marks or anything on it that looks dirty. Even if I know I just locked the door, I often have to go back and check or for my car door, press the lock button 30 times to make sure it's really locked. I'm also really weird about the way fonts look and I hate ending a sentence in a "T" because I hate how this looks --> t. Why does that little tail have to stick out and touch the period? I'm a weirdo for sure.

    This totally reminded me i hate water on counters or tables it drives me crazy when i eat out everyone has to put a napkin under their glasses so the condensation doesnt end up on the table because i will literally sit there wiping it off and making them wipe it off my grandma also does this!

    That would suck. I can burp the alphabet. My 9 year old son is very impressed.

    I had a heart attack when I was 16 and had a near death experience. Woke up 6 days later on life support and I am now deaf in my right ear. I was originally admitted to the hospital because I had a fever of 105F. I had Toxic Shock Syndrome from using tampons and it caused my organs to shut down.

    teeth freak me out. If i see someone brushing their teeth i get sick to my stomach. i have no clue why. i can not even stand it on tv. if i someone is brushing their teeth on tv i have to turn the channel. i can not even help my kids brush their teeth. it makes me sick!
    Ag, me too. If someone is talking with toothpaste in their mouth, I MUST get away! It makes me literally feel sick. Also, I can't stand eyeballs. Any show that shows a lasik surgery I cannot watch!

    OMG! I might have this!
    When I'm in my shared office and my coworker starts crunching on his lunch... seemingly FOREVER, I find myself wanting to beat him to death.
