Quirks

Nebb · February 2012

What are some of your quirks? I can't eat in dim light. I HAVE to be in a well lit room to eat my food. I always leave one empty beer bottle on my desk, I dunno why I just always do. Once I finally move it, another one takes its place. Only one though. You?

I don't care what direction the toilet paper roll goes on, apparently other people do.

I lose things al the time - I can pretty much never find one of either my keys, phone, or sunglasses.

I go back and forth from being burning hot to being freezing cold. Right now I am in bed (sick) and am freezing cold. I am really hungry but too cold to get out of bed. Fun times.

I have a bad habit of leaving wrappers to food on the counter instead of just putting them in the garbage right away.

number55 · February 2012

Oh, I am totally unconcerned by germs. I am one of those people who share spoons with friends and colleagues at work...no fear. - I only think this is interesting since I am SICK, again. Maybe I need to work on this quirk.

A fresh glass of water by the bed at night. I rarely drink it. Sometimes i have to scoot last night's still full glass to put my new one down. I've been doing it for as long as I can remember. Then when the little girl in the movie Signs did it, it weirdly validated me that there might be a good reason that I do it.

button6004 · February 2012

I dont like my food touching, like eggs and pancakes with syrup.

I like to sleep with one leg under the blanket and one leg out of the blanket.

Being tickled makes me extremely uncomfortable. So does Keifer Sutherland.

Nebb · February 2012

I prefer to throw things into the garbage instead of get up and put it in. I miss about 85% of the time and adam always ends up having to pick it up (cause I seem to always do it in his office so it goes under his desk OR in the bedroom and it ends up behind the garbage and I dont bother picking it up).

I like to watch out the front door and try to guess how many cars itll be until people pull into the drive way when I am expecting someone. I always say X amount of cars, and inevitably end up saying another x amount, cause its never right. Ive done this since I was a little kid waiting for my dad to pick me up on weekends.

alynne1113 · February 2012

I absolutly cannot sleep without reading, even if I get up in the middle of the night to use the washroom and am half asleep still I have to at least read a page or two before I can fall back asleep.

I cannot turn around in a vehicle or look in the back seat or down at the floor or at a cell phone in my hands ect. I will get sick immediatly and it takes hours to feel better. I don't know what I am going to do when we have kids and go on road trips, H drives and I wont be able to turn around and hand the kids anything or check on them.

Girlie1030 · February 2012

I'm paranoid about having a "bat in the cave" so I check my nose probably 50 times a day.

I have a really hard time staying awake on drives if I'm passenger - no matter how rested I am. If the trip is over 30 minutes, I'll probably snooze.

I shut the door when I go to the bathroom even if I'm alone in the house.

I keep multiple water glasses around the house (generally 4-5). Theyre usually empty and I freak out if Adam gets rid of them because sometimes in the night I need a glass to get a drink. I find that day old water tastes like crap in my house cause Adam smokes and I dont like drinking nicotine water.

ricksang · February 2012

I do a lot of things half assed at home. It drives my H crazy.

If I have barefeet, I walk on my tippytoes. I can't stand having dirty feet.

I can not sleep without a fan next to my head.

I love PB on everything, almost.

Denise91980 · February 2012

I am quite disorganized and am always late. I also hate feet and always sleep with socks on. I also don't understand how people can sleep naked because I always have to be fully clothed when sleeping.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · February 2012

I have to get ready in the same exact order every day otherwise I'll forget a step. It's true.

I like my blinker to blink no more than four times. Sitting in a turn lane while it blinks and blinks drives me apeshit.

I set my TV volume level at an increment of 5, usually 20 or 15. But mostly 20.

I love to let things pile up and then clear the space exactly a week at a time. For example, at work - I pile up press releases on my desk and throw them out every Friday. I let all the stories I write throughout the week stay open until Friday, when I clear them out. I pile all the mail in the same spot until Friday when I throw it away.

Speaking of mail, I keep all our junk mail in a plastic bag and when we go home to my parent's farm, I bring it with so I can burn it. I don't trust shredders.

Not new but. I hate doughnuts. Just making sure that one gets played out, you're welcome.

alynne1113 · February 2012

Oh, I also HATE shoes and socks, I wear sandals well into fall and at the first sign of spring. I only wear shoes in the winter, and when I get home I take my shoes and socks off no matter how cold it is out. I feel like my feet are suffocating.

Nebb · February 2012

I prefer eating out of bowls. I have one big plastic bowl that I use for probably 75% of all of my meals.

I like using percentages for explaining things even though theres no real math behind the numbers. Sometimes I like using obscure decimals too to express the percentage.

SunriseAmber · February 2012

Rachers, that is the funniest quirk I've heard of (the fry one). I think I find that cute ha. .

The tag on the sheets have to be on the bottom right hand corner of the bed or else it isn't right.

I or whoever I'm driving with has to be in the "correct lane" while driving. Meaning if we don't have to turn left for half an hour I still NEED to be in the left lane to make the turn. Even if it's far away. I panic if I'm not.

[QUOTE]Also - I have this irrational fear that I forgot to flush the toilet. I have no idea why because I've never had a habit of leaving anything there. I can walk all the way across the house and sit down, think that I forgot, and walk all the way back to check.
Posted by rachers1017[/QUOTE]
I do that at work. Im horrified at the thought of having not flushed.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · February 2012

Oh... my bed. All my blankets have to be straight and neat when I'm laying under them. Ben always pulls the sheets out and has the blankets every which way, which makes me completely bonkers. I am constantly re-positioning the fitted sheet because it always comes up on his side of the bed. I CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW HE CAN LAY THERE WHEN THE FITTED SHEET IS ROLLED UP.

AdeleDazeem · February 2012

I don't care if the apartment is clean, but it has to be picked up.

I never EVER leave food out overnight. My husband does not understand this rule. We live in the city and there are mice - let's not entice them.

I hate the cover sheet on the bed. I just want the comforter and the base sheet. My husband looooves the cover sheet and tried to put it on the bed. It's at the end of the bed (or not on the bed!) the next morning. I remove it in my sleep.

AllAboutTheBenjamin · February 2012

I can't sleep without a stuffed animal...

Adam is like that with the top sheet. The top sheet has to be folded JUST SO over the comforter. I get so mad that he has apparently no idea how to sleep in a bed. He gets a kick out of it cause sometimes he will see me fixing it when were fooling around. It just super bugs me.

reils · February 2012

I hate wearing socks. I love my uggs just because I don't need to wear socks in the winter time now.

I can't do that. Cause you know.. the monster will get me. Or the ghost will drag me by the foot and drag me down the stairs like in PA. -shudder-

Girlie1030 · February 2012

Numbers, I would not do well in your house.

If H is home, the fan is also always turned on even if I'm just peeing.

This reminds me of a hilarous thing that happened in my house this weekend. But I'm not sure I should tell here.

And yeah, I realize I'm being a huge asshole by saying that.

I hate sleeping with the bedroom door open because of that god damn movie. Summer is the worst cause we HAVE to or it gets too hot and I have a real hard time sleeping because I freak myself out.

Food tastes better in bowls. Its a fact.

The post that was eaten said that I hate feet and can never sleep naked. I don't understand how people sleep naked when I have to be fully clothed. I also am always late and lose everything. H is way more organized than I am.

OMG YES. The sheet is straight underneath and folded on top. DUH.

We also have a blanket I put on top of our bed because I don't want Lucy hair on the comforter, and he always lets the blanket roll off of him and Lucy gets on the comforter. I love you, dog, but I don't love your hair on my comforter.
