    Jillian and Jannette- I have a night guard for grinding too...so glad I am not the only one!I have lots of quirks....poor FI1. I'm very OCD.  I have to do things in 5's (tv volume for me too).  I eat my food in order of what I like best, saving best for last.2. I have to sleep with with all the doors shut (our bedroom has 6, my worst nightmare lol) and on the side of the bed that I feel safest. (This changes depending on where we are)3. I have panic attacks and anxiety attacks quite a bit, it is getting worse as I get older, esp driving.  I have panic attacks that I am going to have a panic attack.

    I am all about popping pimples. I used to clean my sister's back for her in high school. When it was prom time I was away in Israel and she got mad at me because nobody would wipe her back down with witch hazel and get her yuckas. I think I should have been a dermatologist. 1. Whales Jen? I am afraid of clowns. Like the scary clowns that are going to come after me and eat me. I think it stems from watching the movie "It" and "Poltergeist" when I was little. Yet I love any other scary movies. I have been known to scream in the middle of Target while going through the dvds and accidentally getting a look at one of those covers. 2. I am afraid of getting shocked. When it gets cold out I am so afraid of touching metal in case I get zinged. Usually FI's car gets me all the time. I won't hold his hand until I hear him discharge. 3. When writing/typing something, I can never leave only one word alone on a line. It is the weirdest thing in the world and I don't know why I can't do it. Maybe the word gets lonely to me, who knows.

    Andilynn -- I used to get bigtime panic attacks too because I was scared of having one while being alone lol, luckily I haven't had one in years but I'm sure they will get better eventually

    this is probably my favorite poll EVER. and i know i'm late to it, but i just sat and read everyone's answers. it makes me love this board even more. alissa - no way, my closet is color coded too. cinthia - i'm always singing in my head too! and my tv is always in multiples of 5. as well as my car radio. so my own 3: 1. i'm terrified of the dark. to the point of anxiety attacks. i'm better than i used to be, but it's still really bad. i usually leave my computer on at night for light in my bedroom. FI hates it.2. my desk is covered in color-coordinated post it notes. i'm afraid i'll forget things, so i write things down and stick them on my desk at my house. 3. i pretty much am addicted to carbs. like, i can't stop eating them. i crave them. i don't eat really much else, and i have to take multi vitamins to make up for all i don't eat. it's out of control but i can't stop wanting them.

    Love this poll...sorry I am late. 1. I am terrified of being outside in the dark. Even if there are tons of lights, I get scared. Luckily I have a garage to park in. I especially hate being near woods in the dark. 2. I am a compulsive list maker. I make lists for my lists and they are everywhere. I have an obsession with being organized (hence the lists) and planning things. I have at least 4 calendars in my house. Fridge, wall calendar, computer, planner and blackberry that I can think of right now. 3. I HATE it when people smack their food. I can't stand it at all and FI hates when I yell at him. I think I got this from my mother.

    Ok well like some of you, I'm scared of the dark, I take a bath every day and have a major issue with the sound of people eating... oh I also loove popping pimples. So gross... as for some others...1. I'm a total pack rat. I keep everything. My life is all about piles. I pile everything in corners.  As a result my house always looks messy even when it's clean. 2. I always try to finish peoples sentences. (more like a bad trait than a quirk) I can't help it. I also interrupt people in conversations a lot and I'm aware of it but I still do it. Sorry people.3. I play with my hair a lot. I am always putting it up and then taking it down and then putting it up and taking it down. Apparently it drives people nuts. Especially my Nana. She always says "Jaimalee... stop that!" lol...

    no no no..the pulling of the lint. Like if it's really on there and you have to pull it off. It's some sensory prob I have I guess, LOL

    I'm very late on this....1. I hate hate HATEEEEEEEE whistling. It's like nails on a chalkboard.2. It drives me crazy when people chew with their mouths open like cows. I try to ignore it, but it just automatically gets my blood boiling.3. Whenever I'm out... if I'm going shopping I check my wallet for credit cards and cash like 5 times. And on my way home (if I'm not driving) I take my keys out like 10 minutes before I get there. That drives FI crazy.
