A friend sent this to me on myspace, and thought it would be fun!

Here are my ten quirks:

1.)  The volume on the TV/Radio has to be on a multiple of 5. If it is one that doesn't have numbers, but clicky squares, it either has to be one click up from the previous square, or one click down from the next square.
2.) I have days where ice cream tastes better with a fork, and soda tastes better through a straw.
3.) It's soda...I HATE the word POP. Gives me chills.
4.) I'm a very nervous/anxious person. I'm a biter and a picker (nails). Sometimes I peel the skin on my fingers so far back, they bleed.
5.)  I don't particularly like it when people buy me things/spend money on me.
6.)  I HATE feet. I think they are disgusting.
7.) On extremely stressful days, even the thought of stepping on a crack makes me sick to my stomach.
8.)  I can get NOTHING done knowing my kitchen or bathroom needs to be cleaned.
9.)  I am allergic to SPF, latex, metal and dryer sheets.
10.) I separate my candies by color. If I have an odd number of a color, I have to throw one away.

UHG...Now I'm all stressed out!

Sandra, you have some funny quirks girl. I'll add mine so you know you aren't the only one

Here are my ten quirks:

1. I am afraid of talking animals or people dressed as animals. Clowns and things with painted faces also give me the heebie jeebies.

2. If my cell phone is not within eyesight, I start to get nervous until I can see it.

3. I have texture issues. I hate ketchup but love tomatoes. I like grapes but won't eat grape flavored things. I cannot eat the skins on apples or eat applesauce but I like apples. The list goes on, but I won't bore you...

4. My food cannot touch. I eat everything in bowls if I can.

5. I have to sleep with a sheet or a blanket covering me, if I don't I have random nightmares that the boogieman is coming.

6. I cannot sit on the end of an isle at the movie theatre or at a public place, it creeps me out.

7. I only like popcorn if it comes from a movie theatre. Everything else doesn't taste right.

8. I am not a neat person, but I am fanatical about the organization of my refrigerator. Everything has its plce and I have to reorganize it all if its not in the right place.

9. I can only sneeze in multiples of four, I never sneeze just once, its always at least 8 times or more.

10. If I am in a supermarket, grocery, etc I have to buy a drink when I check out. I do it everytime without fail, even if I'm not thirsty. I don't know why. but I just have to buy one.

Okay I had to think about this:

1) I have to sleep WITHOUT socks and at least on foot out from under the covers

2) In the morning I get in my car and get out to check that the doors locked and then get back in my car

3) I have to let conditioner sit on my head for 3 minutes, I even have a clock in the bathroom

4) I can only ride roller coasters when I am not in the outside seat. If I have the edge forget it

5) I cannot sleep if there is a dish in the sink

6) I have to do dishes as soon as we are done eating, seconds go on a different plate

7) When I eat twix bars I have to eat all the chocolate and carmel off then eat the cookie by itself

8) When we go to Browns game I have to wear the same shirt everytime, You should see it, there are holes all over and it is like a thread now.

9) I can only drive in reverse by turning around, I never use my mirrors

10) I don't use straws, they creep me out.

As for not using your mirrors to back up, don't feel too bad. I don't even know HOW to use the side mirrors!

Alice - Don't feel too bad. I don't even know HOW to use the side mirrors!

 

Yeah, I don't either and even switching lanes I turn,  I don't use any mirrors. The worst part is my boyfriend is an on road supervisor at UPS and he is on the safety commitee, well he said you are supposed to check your mirrors every 5-7 seconds or something so he wanted to give me a safety ride.......I failed big time.

Y'all sound normal to me.

1.  Eyebrow hairs only go in one direction!  Hubby and sons will mess up their eyebrows just to bug me.

2.  I sort my M&Ms and Skittles by color too and eat them two by two.

3.  Paper money must be facing the same direction, with the numbers up and in order from smallest in front to larger in back.

4.  Capitalization and punctuation matter, even in casual emails.  I could never text message and use all the shortcuts.

5.  I have personal space issues, so don't get too close to me strange people!

6.  I hate it when hubby drives my van and doesn't put the seat back the way he found it.

7.  There is a certain way to load my dishwasher....my way!

8.  I  hate having a stray hair on my clothes.  I'm getting more relaxed about this since I've had Bob. 

9.  I notice people's teeth.  It's one of the first things I notice about people. 

10.  I have a strange compulsion to tuck in a tag if I see it sticking up from someone's shirt.  I try to remember to say something to the person first, before I go tucking it in.  I feel the same way about a collar that isn't laying right.

Here are just some of mine....

1. I hate feet! My boyfriend likes to stick his in my face just to make me mad.

2. My eyelashes and eyeshadow have to be close to perfect when I put on mascara and eyeshadow if they dont look right I take it off and start over. My eyes also have to look pretty much identical.

3. I have to have a drink of something when I watch TV. I also have to have a bottle of water on my nightstand at all times.

4. I hate not having something to read or watch when I eat a meal.

5. I am the worst backseat driver when anyone else drives my car.

6. It drives me crazy when my boyfriend wears brown and black together. So I usually pick his clothes out. He has no clue about what colors go together.

7. I hate letting people borrow my stuff. I usually dont get it back or it gets ruined.

8. I constantly pick out my split ends. I do it all the time when Im bored.

9. The clothes in my drawers have to be folded a certain way and are color coded. The same thing with my closet. They all have to be hung facing the same way.

10. I have a texture thing too. It makes me sick to my stomach to even think about eating fish or most seafood. I cant stand the smell of ketchup after its been sitting out so I hate eating in at fast food places.

My 10 things

1. I hate it when people use the words "like and ya know" all of the time in sentences.

2. I hate long eye brow hair. I clip or shave my son and husbands off all of the time.

3. The sound of crinkleing plastic drives me crazy.

4. i can never finish any thing in a bottle. I have to leave the last few centemeters in the bottle.

5. The sound of dogs licking their fur drives me insane. I either leave the room or tell them to leave.

6. I hate cob webs. If I see a single one then the whole house gets recleaned.

7. I hate the sound of any thing scratching on metal.

8. The smell of artifical watermelon candy makes my stomach turn.

9. Dirty dash boards are my enemy.

10. Kids sleeping in their every day clothes. Even if it is 2 a/m/ I have to wake them up to put pj's on them.

Okay lets see if i can do this...
1. If I buy something for my house, even if its only a candle, I must clean every inch of my house before I will put it out.
2. I cannot stand to make a left turn onto a street without there being a 4 way stop or a light.
3. I smoke, and must have a full pack with me at all times.
4. I open a new bottle of water everynight before I go to bed and take only one sip of it. The rest goes back in the fridge and I will not drink the rest of it, I refuse. (usually ends up being Joleigh's water)
5. I turn off all the lights, lock the door, come in my room, lay down, and right as I am about to fall asleep I must get up and make sure that the door is locked.
6. If I eat fast food, I must eat in order, (one bite burger, one fry, take a sip, one bite burger, one fry, take a sip... etc.)
7. I cannot STAND it when someone jingles their keys.
8. I have to sleep with a fan on, even now, when its like 50 degrees outside and I have a cold.
9. If you interrupt me, I will not speak again for 10 minutes (yes, I time it.)
10. I have to have a pair of shoes in everyroom, as well as a lighter.

Hah! I've been reading these, and nobody seems weird to me yet!

ONLY TEN????   OK, then.....

1. I cannot stand to touch styrofoam, or hear it squeak against anything.

2. I have to have a fan blowing on me when I sleep, even if it's cold enough to have several blankets on top, the fan is still running, year round.

3. I hate to see hair just hanging around in a hairbrush.

4. I have a certain brand & color of pen that I use, and dont like to write with anything but a black or blue Pilot G-2 gel writer  (0.7 mm).

5. I would much rather be 10 minutes early to anything than to be 1 minute late.

6. When I'm driving to a specific destination for vacation, I want to hurry up and get there---I dont like stopping or making little detours just for the fun of it.  To me, that's NOT FUN.

7. I'm picky about what I eat.  If I dont recognize it, or dont like the sound of it's name, I wont eat it.  (Chinese food and me do NOT cross paths)

8. I'm 'thrifty' (ok, ok, so I'm cheap) and rarely ever spend any money buying clothes or shoes for myself until it's absolutely necessary. (Now, buying dog collars is a totally different thing! haha)

9.  I rarely ever make a phone call.  I dont mind talking if I receive a call from someone, but I just never do the dialing out thing. 

10. Paper money has to be "in order" of denomination, smallest in front, largest in the back, all facing the same way and no dog-ear corners.  (That is, when I have more than $1.00 in my wallet!)

My ten

1: I have to have my socks turned inside out so the seam is on the outside

2: I still sleep under the covers

3: I have to eat my gummie bears or any colored candy so that eventually there is only one of each color left

4: If I see something gross, I have this strange desire to eat it

5: I can't stand the sound of a metal fork screeching over a glass plate

6: If I'm watching a movie I've seen before, I have to get up and walk around at least twice

7: It usually takes me about 15 minutes to decide weather or not I want to buy something

8: If I'm not doing anything, I'm usually walking aimlessly around the house

9: Whenever I make a cup of tea, I forget about, remember about it when it's cold, then have to make a second cup.

10: I have to munch on something at least every hour of the day

Oh, geez.... I've put this off long enough... Ha ha hah a


1. I MUST make the bed before sleeping in it. Can NOT stand to crawl into a messy bed (unless I've been drinking )

2. You know how some items (ketchup, bleach, liquid coffee creamer) come with a foil cover under the lid I you have to remove? It MUST be completely removed, no little foil bits left around the edge. My hubby opened the creamer first one time and just took the lid off and punched his thumb through the center of the foil and put the lid back on. I almost passed out. LOL!!!!

I can't think of anything else at the moment, but I assure you there are some

These don't sound like quirks...they sound like serious OCD problems!?! I have never laughed so hard in quite some time. These are some of the things I USED to do:

1. Go around with a wet cloth when my kids were little, wiping their mouths off after eating candy.
2. I could not go to sleep in an unmade bed, nor could I go to be with dirty dishes in the sink.
3. I ALWAYS had to have a least 2 packs of cigarettes with me at all times.
4. I always had to have the last word.
5. I kept a little hand vac to vaccum up the saw dust my husband would track in when working in the basement, EVERY SINGLE time he came upstairs for something.
6. I would immediately wash dishes as soon as we finished eating. EVERYTHING would go into Tupperware and immediately in the fridge.
7. ALL my laundry had to be done on Saturday.
8. EVERYTHING has to be put back in it's place.
9. Bed spreads, towels, blinds, curtains, etc ALWAYS had to be even on both sides. No crooked lines for me!
10. As soon as a piece of clothing was removed from ANYONE in my home, it either had to be in the laundry room or hung back up.

1. My food CANNOT touch each other. It can be on the same plate, just can't touch. I won't eat it that way. Not even turkey & gravy. I dip my turkey in it.

2. The toilet lid has to be down. Everbody that uses it leaves it up, I go behind & shut it.

3. I keep a bottle of water on my nighstand. I take a few sips out of it. The next morning I put it back in refrigerator for the next night.

4. I can't stand for someone to eat, drink, or chew gum on the phone. It's so rude! I don't do it, please don't do it to me.

5. I can't sleep with socks.

6. I have to sleep with the ceiling fan on.

7. I can't stand dishes in the sink. Even if it's not my house. It must be washed.

8. My drawers has to be neat & my clothes has to be hung facing the same way.

9. I hate talking on the phone. When I was younger that was a different story. Now, I hate the phone.

10. The house has to be absolutely clean & it has to be clean my way.

old post i guess, but i just found it
my 10

1. i have to have the volume on things turned up by 5s too. when people figure this out about me, they constanly change the volume up or down by 1 or 2. why?!
2. the microwave always has to be "clear" it drives me nuts when people leave a few seconds on there and just leave it.
3. i used to count my steps by 4s. i'd have this weird shuffle thing before i stopped usually. not so much anymore.
4. sometimes when i'm thinking about something or watch something on tv, i find myself moving my fingers as though i'm typing what's being said or read.
5. i'm not very good about reading series of books, either they need to be all published so i can read it in one fell swoop, or i'll lose interest and not finish reading them (or i have to read them all over again when a new one comes out)
6. i only sleep under the sheets in the winter when we switch to the flannel ones. i don't like the "crisp" sheets...
7. i'm very indecisive, especially when ordering food.
8. i love artistic hobbies! unfortunatley many of them are still waiting to be finished...
9. i love lists. groceries, to do, etc. just to get all of my thoughts organized and on paper feels good.
10. i'm really bad at "your welcome"s

Hmmmm...10 quirky things about me.....

1) I have to wash my hair everyday and if I have a bad hair day, I'm in a bad mood all day.

2) I am NEVER without chapstick or lip gloss.

3) I have to pluck my eyebrows at work  (better light I guess)

4) I can never finish a drink, I always leave some in the glass or bottle, not on purpose, just happens.

5) I have to wipe Dink's feet and privates when he comes in from being outside.

6) I hate commercials, I have to mute them or channel surf.

7) I always sleep with covers on me.

8) I can't stand panty lines on me or anyone else.  I wonder if I'll still be wearing a thong when I'm 60??

9) I makes lists of things to do and things to get and never refer to them, I put them in my purse to remind me and still forget to use them.

10) I have to clean my house top to bottom before going away for the weekend or vacation b/c I like coming home to a clean house.  

And to whoever said they always have to tuck in people's tags on their clothes.....I have that compulsion to do it too!!
