I have a million of them but I noticed one the other day. Every time I go to the grocery store I buy two cans of Pringles, one Sweet Mesquite BBQ and one Original. Once I get them home I have to finish the BBQ ones before I can even open the other can. What are some of yours?

I always have to stand in the corner or against the wall when I'm riding on an elevator.
I think it's so I have something to lean on if it breaks down and I'm stuck in there for a while.

It's a lot stupid and a little OCD: you know when you're at a food court and they put your food on a tray and when you're done you have to stack the tray on top of the other trays? I can't stand it when the trays are misaligned so I fix all of them.
Anytime I experience Deja Vu, I have to say "Deja Vu like a mothafucka" outloud, no matter where I am or what I'm doing. It doesn't necessarily have to be shouted out, a very very soft whisper will suffice.

Sweetheart, you need some help. :D
I absolutely hate for people to walk down the street right behind me. I can't stand it. If someone is within 15 feet I will stop along the edge of the street and act like I'm looking for a bus or whatever just to let them pass. It's not even a personal safety issue. I mean, it could be an 89 year old lady or it could be an 8 or 9 year old kid, I don't care. I can't stand for people to walk right on my ass. If you're gonna pass me then pass me. If not then drop back a little. Either way, get the fuck off my ass. Know what I mean?

I turn the lights out in a room when I leave it, even when people are still there.

I do that with shopping baskets at the grocery store.
Also, when I'm alone in my room, sometimes I stare at the wall.

Interesting, every bed I ever had was in the middle of the room. Night stands on each side.

Was it an EB3 heavy pick. They're nice and chewey.
i hate it when sponges are left in the sink or even worse, if it's soaking in a dirty dish
it's a goddamn sponge, it'll soak up whatever you leave it in, why don't i just wipe my ass with it

When I eat Oreos I pull the two sides apart then I eat the side without the filling first. Then I take the side with the filling and I scrape it off with my bottom teeth until it's all gone. Then I eat the second side. I never, ever eat the whole cookie all at the same time.
That's gotta be one of the oddest things I can think of right now. I don't know why I do it that way. That's just how I've been eating Oreos ever since I can remeber.

I have nothing to add to this comment, Bob. Just that I laughed.
i bet it's because i said "ass"

Oh I just remembered another one. I've been working a trouble ticket in another building since last Friday that's required me to come back and work on it a few times. Well when I see paper clips just lying around I have to bend them to straighten them out. The office I've been working in had a stack just lying on a desk. This afternoon on my way home I realized I had like 9 straightened out paper clips in the middle consol of my car.

I don't understand why I do that because I'm not a particularly orderly person at home.

I simply can't leave a session unless she's had at least 3 orgasms. If she can't, then I order pizza and go out and buy some gatorade because its going to be a long night.
Echewta
10-05-2005, 05:08 PM
psshh, you ate all the pizza. :rolleyes:
I thought of another also. Napkins. Paper towels. Wrappers. Kleenex. Wadded up. Gross me out. If someone uses a napkin or a papertowel and doesn't put it in the trash, but leaves it on their plate or on the counter or anywhere that I have to pick it up to get rid of it... disgusts me.

How hard is it to wring it out and put it on the ledge next to the sink? Huh?

I agree about the bed thing, mine has always been in the upper left corner of my room, since I can remember, and even when I move to just to clean the floor it feels wrong. Also, my dresser HAS to be adjacent to the bed.

Instead of saying 'heaven forbid' when I don't want something to occur, I tap my head three times (also known as tapping wood three times). I have to do it. It shits me (n)

thank god, someone else understands. it's like, we use that thing to clean the things we eat off of, don't leave it in filth you slobs, it'll take you 5 seconds to take care of it, and it'll last a lot longer (in my head, anyway).
another thing that kills me, leaving filth encrusted dishes next to the sink. like if someone ate something with a lot of ketchup, or some kind of sauce, or jelly, or peanut butter on a knife...they just leave it like that next to the sink (or worse yet, IN it, without attempting to wash it off). then they just toss it in the dishwasher like that and it comes out with shit on it still. come on! a minute of your life to get the shit off yer dishes and life will be better for everyone.
you wouldn't think i'm a neat freak by looking at my room, but i'm totally anal about food related cleanliness. we gotta eat that stuff, i'm not getting sick because someone else was careless.

I eat food weird.
I used to cut eggos along the squares only. And it would be 2x2 squares. At the edges of course, they get cut off. But I HAD to cut them along the lines of the squares only. Never across/over at random, ever.
Breadsticks, or bread in general. I break them apart so I can eat them from the inside out. Sometimes, I break it open and just eat the inside of the bread and leave the outer crust (i.e. like on french bread, it becomes this hollow log haha).
Kit kats: I will not just bite them in half. I HAVE to take apart each part of the wafer with my teeth. I even do this with the "poppables" versions or whatever they are called.
Peanut M&M's, I bite them just enough to break the shell in half, then I eat the half wthout the peanut in it first, then the other half. Sometimes I will take the peanut out completely, eat the shells, THEN eat the peanut.
I'll stop there.
For those of you who chew things (not food!), I believe they call that oral fixation...

i pretty much always have to go back after i've locked my car to make sure it's locked. at least once. even when i know i locked it.
i used to be pretty obsessive about washing my hands. not to the point of making them raw or anything, but i'd go outside or something and when i'd come inside i'd wash them. over and over.

I make up little songs to sing to my cat. The other day I began working on a heavy metal version of "Who's the cutest kitty?"-one of my early classics.
Unfortunately, I'm not kidding about this.
This thing with soda straws that my mom taught me.

When I take showers, I call to my cat and he comes and sits on the ledge, in between the shower curtain and the liner. He stays there, watching, until I'm done. Then he leaves. The shower curtain liner is clear, so I can see him and sometimes the way he's sitting there sort of reminds me of this (http://photos.sleestak.net/albums/userpics/10001/burgerking.JPG).*
* When I googled the BK image, I searched for "burger king" and couldn't see it in the first three pages. But it came up on the very first page when I searched for "creepy burger king." :D

I eat my filled bisquits like that as well! I even try to push the filling away from the second part with my teeth so I have as much as possible to the last.
I've never had Oreos tho', there's only a couple of places where you can have them here, some American stores and they're really expensive. My favourites are Finnish Domino (http://www.lu-suomi.fi/domino/)'s, especially the tiramisu variety! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.........

When I get the bus I need to sit on the left hand, side fourth seat down from the front. Oh and it has to be on the top deck. I don't mind if I have to sit on the right but only if the sun isn't shining.
I don't touch bins with my hands either, I use my feet, I mean, it's a bin.

If I'm going to lay down in my bed, I have to get in it on the left side, which is the side I sleep on. Even if I'm on the other side of the room, I'll walk around the bed to that side, instead of just hopping into the right side, which might be closer.
