What's Your Odd Little Quirk?

in Chit-Chat
You catch yourself doing something and then you feel the need to explain it or you say what I do which is "I'm weird, I know".

For me the weirdest thing I do is sniffing my boyfriend's armpit when we're cuddling. :huh: Yeah, I know... I'm strange. Another quirk that's a little less odd is if someone touches my nose, I HAVE to rub it, if I'm not able to I get really anxious. I don't know why I do that but I have since I was about 12.

Now I want to know what weird quirks do you have?

    If I go out to eat or have fast food or something or even something i may have wrapped in aluminum foil for later, I always feel the need to fold the paper/wrapper/foil into a neat little square or rectangle. Not just one, but every last wrapper and the napkin as well.

    I recently noticed my mother does the same thing so it was probably a learned behavior.

    I always have to make sure everything is off before I leave the house. I even unplug things!

    Eating in a circle around a sandwich or burger. And not biting it, but ripping little pieces off the edges until it is gone.

    When I was little I was convinced that the middle of a sandwich or burger is absolutely the best part and I should savor that last piece. Now it's just become a habit!

    I keep my ringer off - hate interrupting phone calls!
    I check it hourly and most are calls I won't even bother returning or acknowledging.
    Gives me control.

    You probably smell your boyfriends armpits because of the pheromones. :flowerforyou:

    One of my feet is constantly in motion. Drives my hubby nuts at night cause I even do it in my sleep. He told me if he holds one still the other starts. Still wondering how I got so fat if I'm always on the move.

    This is true, it absolutely IS the best bite!:bigsmile:

    I cannot stand to leave a door open. Cabinet doors, closet doors. Drawers that aren't closed all the way.

    Makes me fidgety. I have no idea how I got to be so nuts with it. But I've been trying to break the habit. I leave stuff open and walk out of the room and try and see how long I can stand it before I have to go close it.

    Nothing like trying to mind-shrink yourself.

    When snuggling on the couch with my boyfriend, I pick at or play with the legs of his jeans if there is any loose material to play with, or I absently rub my finger tips over the material. If our hands are touching (not necessarily holding hands, but if his hand is over mine or close enough to touch) I rub my finger tips up and down his fingers....it's nothing sexual and never leads anywhere, but I can't help but touch/play with his fingers. His hands are rough from years of working in factories and I love the way they feel.

    I bite. Something about the feeling I like. My friends and I will be just sitting around or driving and I'll randomly bite their arm.

    I am the same way about my nose, sometiems if some one teases me adn acts like they are going to touch my nose I have to rub it.

    I also hate open doors, espically when I am sleeping, teh beddroom door, bathroom door and both closets must be closed for me to sleep.

    Also, if my husband misses hairs shaving i have to pull them out or send him back to the bathroom to fix it.

    Krizzo - Same here! I despise feet. My mom took me for a pedicure once and it was the most un-relaxing experiences i've ever had. I always tell people - my two most hated things on Earth are mushrooms and feet. Why? Because mushrooms are fungus. Know where else fungus can grow? On feet! I know, I'm weird.. it's just part of my charm. :wink:

    I also can't have any of my food touch on my plate. I have to keep them separate and i'll even get a second plate if I have to. The only exception is Thanksgiving. Turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing and gravy all get piled together. Wow.. i sound like such a sad sack, LOL! :ohwell:

    I eat my meals in a specific order, and always have to finish one part of the meal before I start on the next. My other half just mashes his whole dinner into a big blob, I have no idea how he can do that!!

    I also put sweets into colour groups and eat them from least favourite colour to most favourite. I can't eat them at random, does my head in!

    I fold those too. And straw papers get folded in half and then half and half.

    Pretty much everything I do...

    I have a mild case of OCD, and when I sit down at a table I will have to rearrange everything on it to be perfectly straight. I rearrange the jellies in the little holder to be "correct", the sugars, everything.

    There are a bunch of other things - but that's the most obvious.

    This can't stand cabinet doors open. Weird I can leave my closet door open though...

    This^^ I don't like my own feet, much less anyone else's. Also, I don't like to walk barefoot...anywhere. My hubby thinks it's funny to a) touch me with his dirty feet and b) hide the slides I wear in the house. Oh, and I don't like to stand in the shower after turning off the water...feels weird on my feet. :huh:

    ♥ If I take a flower or leaf from a tree or plant, or harvest anything for that matter, I have to thank said plant, tree, earth......If I have to trim a plant or tree, I have to tell it I am sorry for having to cut it.....

    ♥ When I am at a stop light, I always stare up at the sky from my sunroof (I always have it open, unless its pouring)

    ♥ When a Hurricane or major storm is blowing in, I must go stand outside and feel the energy of it

    ♥ When I am mowing my grass, I watch out for honey bees, and if I see one on a dandelion, I stop and wait until it moves on...(This might be because I am a beekeeper♥)

    These are actually really hard to think of, I have so many, but they just seem normal to me, cause they are me♥

    This too... my boyfriend and his brother ALWAYS leave cabinets and drawers open and I catch myself mumbling obscenities as I close them. Lol.

    Here's another one of mine, if I kill a bug I say I'm sorry. Poor little buggy, if it weren't for the scaredy cats I live with I would just let it live.

    * I eat oranges not peeling it with my fingers, but using a knife so I can spare almost all the white of the fruit and eat it. I actually eat the same orange in slices I cut perpendicular to orange wedges, EVENTUALLY LOOKING LIKE ORANGE DOUGHNUT...

    * when I am particularly tired I sleep ON the blankets

    *When I set to run X minutes, I use a timer but I don't look at it while exercising. It would make me nervous and every minute endless.

    *Airports are the places where I feel peaceful, completely part of the universe, fulfilled and attachments.- free (normal people would prefer forests or desert islands or trips to India, not me!)
