Weirdos.

Re: Weirdos.

  • I sleep with a minimum of 4 pillows. H teases that he can't find me in our king-size bed.

    H answers his phone by saying "Gunny's Diner". I have no idea why, but it makes me laugh every time. Sometimes I place an order just to get back at him.

    I like to pinch H's nipples. I know that sounds completely kinky...but it's not. I like doing it because it bugs him.

    Almost every time H gets out of the shower he does this naked helicopter dance with his you-know-what. It's ridiculous and I always tell him "boys never grow up".

    I count my steps all the time. I count stairs as I'm climbing them. I count screws in the bathroom stall. I count the dashed lines on the road. Basically I count everything...and I really prefer to end on an even number so I will go out of my way to find one more thing to count if I'm ending on an odd number. I'll even go so far as to ignore the true "last thing" in my count so as to end on an even number.

  • Ok, this is reminding me of more quirks.

    I have to sleep on my right side and always have to have one leg or arm out of the blankets (just one).  I can't fall asleep in any other position unless I'm a passenger in a car/train (and then I can't stay awake for more than 15 minutes....drives H crazy when he wants company driving).  I also have to sleep the furthest from the door. 

    I had an ex once who got pissed at me sleeping furthest from the door since he like to sleep furthest from the door.  I told him it was in case an intruder came in I felt like the person closest (i.e., him) would protect me.  He told me he didn't want to die first and maybe I should be the distraction while he ran away...can you tell why he is an ex?

  • I can't sleep in socks.  Or without a blanket over my butt.  I also don't LIKE sleeping in pants.  I mostly sleep in cheerleading shorts.  With a fan going.  I like to be closest to the bathroom door but FI is very particular about his SIDE so I'm not.  I told him we have to get a house that accommodates us both.  (I am such a picky sleeper!)

    I do math with the time on the clock ALL THE TIME.  Right now it is 2:38. In 2 seconds I realized that 2x3 + 2 = 8 AND that 2^3 = 8.  Nerd.

    Now it's 2:39.  Guess what?  3^2 = 9.  Yep.

    I misplace words all the time while speaking.  For instance, I'll ask FI to change the channel on the "computer" (when I mean TV)  or I'll ask him where my iPad is when I mean my phone.  I also use "lunch" for dinner regularly (not on purpose.)  In general, the words I misplace make SENSE, but it's confusing.  It also is not a great skill to have as a teacher and I have to correct myself at least once a week in class.
    I guess, to tell you the truth, I've never had much of a desire to grow facial hair. I think I've managed to play quarterback just fine without a mustache. - Peyton
  • @bubbles053009 my mom would get SO mad at me when I was in middle/high school, because I'd be bitching about losing all my socks, and then she'd change my sheets and find a million socks all bunched in the bottom of my bed.

    I also eat the crusts first, the middle is the BEST! 
    I hate it when people load the dishwasher with silverware pointing up. I don't want your dirty hands touching that after it's been cleaned! 
    I rub my feet together when I'm laying in bed to fall asleep

    Q shakes… And by shakes, I mean it's kind of like Restless Leg Syndrome or whatever. He just has to be moving constantly. 
    And he'll kill me for this one, but when he gets REALLY excited, he will start flapping his hands
    WHO ARE YOU!? WHERE DID YOU COME FROM!?!

    I've missed you :)

  • I make up weird jingles about my furkids. My Ode to Bailey: "Mister is my man. Mister is my stinky man. My man, my man, my stinky, stinky man." I seriously will sing this song out loud 2-3 times each night. 

    I also make up weird names for them. Hailey = Hailey Rosendeeter. Lucy = Snoosafee. Bailey = Boojinsonian. 

    When Lucy farts and it stinks, H says "oh someone is baking brownies!" 

    H will smell Bailey's mouth and then let me know that his breath stinks. 


    I can't believe all of our weirds have to do with our pets. I mean, I guess I can but wow.

    Ha!  That is exactly the kind of thing H does.  Yesterday he told me the dog was sitting on his paw when he meant the dog (i.e., the dog's paw) was standing on H's foot while H was sitting down.  I just crack up at that stuff.
  • @Ollie08 - OMG OMG OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG


    HI!

    This also extends to significant others of your best friends.

    I say "Bless you" to Violet when she burps.

    I have full conversations with Brady. He meows, I meow back, he answers. I always wonder what it actually is that I'm saying to him. 

    I call him all kinds of names. Buddy, Mister, Monster, Fluff Monster.

  • @Swazzle Omg I actually started laughing when I read about your pets. That's hilarious! My favorite is your H saying "someone is baking brownies" when your dog farts. I also like to sing to Cinders and I make up stupid songs all the time.

    We make up stupid nicknames for our dogs all the time too. Usually I just called Cinders "Cinder Linders" but Bella is Bella boo or Bella boo boo butt and Cheyanne is usually Chey Chey. My friend laughs at us for that last one because it sounds like we're saying Thank You in Chinese (she's an English tutor for Chinese and Korean students).



  • @BriSox81 - Truth. This weekend, my cousin kept referring to her BF by his FULL name and I came *this close* to breaking out the Seanathan. 



  • @Swazzle - We have conversations with our dog all the time.  I feel a little bad too because he now responds to multiple names (including some not so nice ones).  Sadly "Bastard" and "Monster" are on the list of not so nice ones he will respond to so I feel bad if anyone ever says those words in public and our dog looks to them. 

    And singing...H sings all the time (and  really off key too so its like a puzzle for me to figure out what he is singing).  For example, he will sing the National Anthem but completely botch the words at least once a week.  I seriously had to Google the lyrics for him because he was convinced the lyrics included "Oh, Sarah, you'll see" instead of "Oh say can you see".  I was all, "what are you singing all the time and why the fuck are you obsessed with Sarah" until he told me what he was actually trying to sing.

    I think I could fill a book with each of our odd antics.

  • @lmhollister - I really wonder if my animals want to run away forever when I start singing to them. 



  • @Swazzle - I'm fabulous! You're not the only one who makes up names for their pets. When Q moved in he brought Layla (his cat), and she is now called Squeaks, Squeaky Boots, Tubby Wubby, Fat Cat, and whatever else I decide to call her. 

    Also, what kind of brownies does your DH eat? Because I would not equate baking brownies to fart smells.

  • @swazzle - Scottsopher and Seanathan are THE BEST. Even with all their weird little quirks :)

  • @minskat30 - I actually LOLed when reading about your H's singing and his obsession with "Sarah". That's hysterical



  • @BriSox81 YES! I know! He moved in officially the beginning of October, but he was pretty much living here since August/September.

    Don't even get me started on how he botched "America the Beautiful".  He amuses me constantly.  Thankfully he has a thick skin and usually laughs right along with me. 
  • I hate the feeling of socks. Unless they're the fancy socks or the patterned ones. Regular socks just feel so nasty to me. I also hate towels that have been used for a long time. New towels feel nice, but older towels get all crinkly and icky feeling to me. I also am way too much into food safety. I will never eat anything even a day past the 'best by' date even if it looks/smells totally fine.

    H always takes the garbage out of from under the sink when it is getting full and then just leaves it sitting in the kitchen. He says that it is to remind him to take it out. I don't know why he doesn't just take it out when he sees it is full the first time?! He also will change into workout shorts whenever he is home. I mean he'll walk in the door and we need to go somewhere in an hour, and he'll still go put a pair of those one, then go back and change back into jeans or whatever again.... Doesn't make any sense to me.

  • There isn't enough room in the world to list my neuroses.

  • H and I both quack (like a duck) in frustration or anger or even slight displeasure all. the. time. I'm not sure how it started, but now I quack like a dozen times a night. 

    We make up elaborate stories about people or inanimate objects and just build off each other until we realize we've been going on and on about this totally made up thing for 15 minutes. 

    I sleep with a stuffed animal (my e-turtle, Hubert) every night.

    I have to look in the mirror every time I enter our elevator. 

    I have to put chapstick on before I go to bed. HAVE TO. And also I have to brush my teeth. . . even if I pass out drunk on the couch until the sun comes up, before I get into my bed my teeth have to get brushed. 

    H takes off his work clothes the second he walks in the door. 
  • I still sleep with a stuffed animal.  I also let my cold drinks get to room temperature before I drink them.  I can't drink a drink that came out room temperature though.  

    BF won't eat hot foods.  He lets them get to room temp like I do my drinks.

  • Well now I feel like a huge freak, because I do not segregate my silverware at all. I guess I enjoy the randomness - after all, what's life without a little whimsy? However, I do always load it pointing down, just because it's sanitary and stuff.

    I cannot sleep on my back or on my sides. Only on my stomach. And I have to build a nest around me with pillows: two at the head of the bed, and as many as I can fit around the sides. And I spread out in the middle of my nest like a 5'4" starfish. I have concerns about how my future marital sleeping arrangements and/or pregnancies are going to be affected by these quirks.

    It drives me nuts when people sop up gravy or whatever with bread, because bread and butter go together, not bread and gravy. I sometimes catch myself glaring at family members who do this and I have to remind myself to get the helllllllll over it because we are all free to practice mealtime as we choose.

    I routinely overuse the words/phrases "literally," "like," "awesome sauce," and "cool beans." My new co-worker uses the word "barnacles!" in everyday exclamation, and I have a feeling that it will be added to the rotation shortly.

    I have to sing and dance to the theme songs of my favorite shows. Even if there are no words to it, I must at least hum the tune. Loudly and exuberantly. I do a little tango when I watch Modern Family. And C and I always did an entire routine to The Big Bang Theory.
  • @Amapola14 We watched the entirety of Cheers and we would sing the bird version of the theme song to our bird every time the credits played.

    The bird version of the Cheers theme song involves singing the entire song with the word "bird" for every syllable. I guess that's weird.

  • A few of these made me giggle because I do them too.

    I get super absorbed in books that I'm reading, even really boring ones for school, to the point that I won't even notice if the BF comes into the room. I also sit on the kitchen counter pretty much any time I'm in there - like, waiting for my coffee to brew I sit on the counter and eat my yogurt.

    He Always has the tv on Always. I mean - its like constant background noise and even if he leaves the house and no one else is home he leaves the tv on. It drives me up a wall and usually causes me to send him to the living room at night if I have to be up early.
  • I don't know if I can list all my weird things, but I'll try to remember. 

    I also have a very set shower routine. I have to wash my body first, then shampoo my hair, then condition my hair, and then wash my face as the conditioner sits in my hair. Any deviation of this order throws me off and I can't deal with it. BF likes to shower together, but I always have to either refuse or kick him out because he messes with my shower mojo. He doesn't understand it. I'm also very picky about him being dry when he comes out of the shower. He has to be completely dry and I have to sign off on it before he can put the towel up. He does a 360 for me so I can inspect his dryness after he thinks he's done drying off. He always misses the same spots though.

    As for dishwashers, I don't put silverware in the same spot because a lot of time I find they nest in each other and don't get as clean. BF puts silverware in handle down and I HATE it. Why not put it handle up for easy insert and grabbing? It's just extra effort to turn the silverware the wrong way in the first place, then you grab the eating part with your dirty hands when you take it out. It just makes no sense to me. 

    I find I subconsciously judge how people decorate their houses and "fix" them in my mind. I watch WAY to much HGTV for my own good. And I "fix" them in a way that would make them sell faster if they were for sale. I do this constantly with BF's family's house as they are thinking of selling soon, and all I can think of is that they need to do X,Y, and Z before they can sell it. It's a really bad habit.

    When I go to sleep, I always have my 4 stuffed animals BF has given me though our relationship and I have a hard time falling asleep without them. If I go on vacation I always bring at least one with me. I have to be on my side to fall asleep, and I'm always so cold when I go to sleep but I kick off all the covers when I'm asleep. BF has to have the fan going at all times, which sucks because I'm a cold natured person. He also loves to have the windows open, which is becoming a problem as it was in the 40s today after being about 70 degrees yesterday. You've got to love Alabama weather. 

    BF is also constantly talking and singing and stuff in funny and weird voices trying to get me to laugh. I'm the only person he does it with. He also takes great enjoyment in making loud sounds to scare me. I'm very sensitive to loud sounds, so it freaks me out and it always surprises me and hurts my ears. I've told him to stop, but he says he likes my reactions because they're so cute? -shakes head- He also twists a lot of words around, like vid-ja-ma-ho for video and so forth. 

    I am also very sensitive skin wise. I can't rub things very long because of the feeling on my skin. I can't give BF a massage for more than 3 or 4 minutes because my hands just hurt from rubbing on his skin. I also am very sensitive to pressure around me in the air and underwater. I apparently feel it more than other people and I can't dive more than 4 feet underwater without getting super dizzy and a major headache due to the pressure around me.
