what are your crazy little quirks

I have to mentally look at my garage door and say the door is down before driving away, otherwise a few blocks away I won't remember if I put it down and will then do a U turn and go home to double check. Otherwise it will bug me to no end.

I sometimes like to lie down in front of my fire, but when I do, I circle the area I'm going to sit down in. Picked it up of my cats. Still do it years later.

I hold my breath when passing smokers, people coughing or sneezing, then breath out when I'm past them to fully empty my lungs.

I too am weird about shower drains. I don't like to touch them at all. Swimming pool drains really freak me out.

If I touch the bottom of a pool or in deep water I get a bit panicky.

I need to sit with my back to the wall.

If a room has more than one light switch, they must all be the "right" way.

I check several times to make sure my car is in 1st gear when waiting for a light to change.

I don't like anyone touching my face.

Don't like anyone touching your face...How does that impact kissing? Thats gotta be weird...

I can't handle it when pictures are crooked. I even straighten them when I am out. There is a restaurant here in my town that I can't go to because their pictures are crooked and are affixed to the wall and can't be fixed, it makes me crazy.
That and I alphabatize all my DVD's (I have 500+), but I don't see that as crazy, it just makes them easier to find when you are looking for them. Except when my daughter mixes them up to watch me wig out and have to fix them. :grumble:

Oh so many .......

My back is never to the door when I go out to eat.

I HAVE to have the shower curtain closed at all times !

I DO Not step on cracks

I brush my teeth to the ABC song twice before I rinse ! I do the same with washing my hands....

I also have to have the letter all even when playing scrabble they cannot be out of the little boxes !

I always take a deep breath before I step out of the door..dont know why but I do !

I have to make my bed every morning as soon as I get up !! I will be late for work to make sure its made !

Kissing isn't a problem. I just can't handle anyone touching me with their hands. It took my husband a while to get used to it, but he understands me quirks.

No public bathrooms...ever!! Just thinking about how dirty they could be, makes me want to be sick and i'm at home only writing about it!

I hold my breath when I get close to people at the store and breath out really hard before breathing normally again. Ugh. I just got over having bronchitis for 4 months STRAIGHT so i'm paranoid about people and their germs everywhere on everything at the store. =/

My back has to be away from doors or windows when I'm eating out. I want to see a possible attack coming to warn who ever i'm with.

I sometimes memorize the cars I see go by my house when I'm outside, so if something happens I will have the details about who was around. Sounds super crazy, but after a few things I have experienced I feel it is a priority to do so. UGH luckily we live in a quiet neighborhood so there isn't too much traffic.

I wash my hands 100x a day.. well I don't really know how much, but I do know it is way too much.

I write lists to keep track of what I need to do for fear I may forget to do something.

I won't touch raw meat

I don't like people standing around me when I am sitting.. it creeps me out

I have way too many to list lol. And I don't usually talk about them so this is all I can think of for now! My family always teases me about my "ocd like" behaviors. It's not funny to me, but reading about other peoples quirks kinda made me laugh lol And sadly, some of the things people have said are making me think about other things I could do LOL.

I do the same thing at traffic lights. While driving,with the hand on top of the steering wheel , I use my pointer finger I move it in a left to right motion and which ever side it stops is the lane I go to. (it seems to be automatic, as I do not really notice it until the kids point it out to me.)


Lisa :drinker:

I twirl my hair. (And I am an over 50 professional!)

I do this!
