Quirks.

[Waus]

What are some of your little quirks?

Me:
-I must have a pilot v7 rollerball pen on me at all times.
-My pants can not ever tuck under the tongue of my shoe, or get wedged in the heel.
-I wear hats constantly due to lazy hair-keeping.

::more::

-I cannot stand tiny headphones - and refuse to use 'earphones.'
-I hate looking lost, and would rather take a hugely long alternate route than double back and have people notice.
-I never realize that I can change the temperature of my environment, and take of shirts etc. as opposed to opening windows.

[bigblu89]

I have that pants tucking thing as well.

[abcdefz]

I sometimes apologize to inanimate objects, like my bike, Harley.

[Sarky Devotchka]

I click my alarm clock off and on several times before bed.

I don't like stepping on wet things.

I trim my fingernails with scissors or wire cutters.

I talk to myself a lot.

I call people different names. i.e. cort is cordelia, cuer di lee, cordell, cor cor, cordy. charlotte for charlie, cruss or christoff for chris, robbin for robbie, jar jar for george, etc.

also, I call cat food, "cuck-oh food". SUE ME!

and I like to yell and kick.

[Nuzzolese]

and I like to yell and kick.

I'M FIFTY!

-I cant leave the house without mascara on.
-I cannot get ready for the day in a steamy bathroom
-Sat / Sun mornings I drink a whole pot of coffee with the music blasting while I clean...religiously.
-I have to microwave all my sammaches for 15 seconds just to get the chill out but when going to a subway / potbelly / quiznos I prefer it cold.
-When I get upset, I dont eat...it's been like four days now
-I name everything

[Sarky Devotchka]

my mom's 50 and I was trying to get her to do that over the weekend, but she wouldn't :(

[Nuzzolese]

-Sat / Sun mornings I drink a whole pot of coffee with the music blasting while I clean...religiously.


I would LOVE to be able to do that. I hate just lying around in the morning.

[Planetary]

i always unplug my tv before bed and i dont like my family hearing me talk on the phone.

also, i stay up late and get up early. sleeping is a waste of time

[beastiegirrl101]

I would LOVE to be able to do that. I hate just lying around in the morning.

See, thats soooo me too. If I sleep past 9am on a weekend I feel like a bum and I am being unproductive. I feel guilty if nothing gets done, to the point where my friends are like, "chill the F* out Natalie"

[wanton wench]

i also have the pants tucking in thing going on to. i also cant cuff my pants. you know, roll them up. it bothers me.

i hate when people dont put their cig out all the way.

i talk to myself non-stop in the car. due to the radio being unplugged. thanks ex.

i dont like to talk to anyone before i have my 1st cig and coffee in the morning. if i do i usually have a bad day.

i cringe when i notice that someone's ears are dirty. specially kids.

[befsquire]

if i'm leaving the house, i need my purse, phone, smokes and a diet coke. doesn't matter where i'm going or how long i'll be gone.

i also can't leave the house without my standard jewelry: diamond earrings, my engagement ring and wedding band, a watch, my diamond "b" necklace, and a silver ring on my right hand.

i hate feeling like another driver might be inconvenienced by me, so i speed off quickly as soon as the light turns green. if i'm going to a place i've never been, i'll drive quick and turn around if i miss a turn rather than drive slow.

i get road rage really bad because others should be considerate like i am (see above).

i sometimes can't separate sex from love and so if i can't have sex right when i want it, i get upset because i feel unloved. not every time, but probably half the time.

and of course, i have those food issues you already know about.

yo, what the hell. don't drink diet.

[HEIRESS]

I have that "lookin lost" thing too, I cant stand that others will think I dont know what the fuck Im doing or where Im going so Ill do anything to avoid this
Its my biggest source of anxiety, having to go new places and not knowing exactly the route and exactly where in a building I should be headed

I wont eat chips unless the bag was just opened, I will never ever own a "chip clip" thankyouverymuch

Ive always cleaned the ears of my significant other, I adore my own clean ears and get pure PURE joy out of being able to clean someone elses with a Q-tip
askhfo9w3h5ujfnbkasndfjka

I recheck my alarm clock a good 5-6 times before I go to sleep on worknights

[Planetary]

tut tut, qtips....

[Justin]

i hate it when someone tailgates you when traffic is lined up like 1 mile ahead of you. Its like "Back off fucker, if you pass me where the fuck are you gonna go!?"

It also bothers me when someone trys to show off in a dirty, old, rusty pile of shit car. Everytime I see it, no matter where im at, I yell, "YOUR COOL BUDDY!"

[beastieangel01]

I'm all around quirky. I have been making the noise "bzz bzz" a lot lately.

I also like to slap butts.

[supermars]

I recheck my alarm clock a good 5-6 times before I go to sleep on worknights

ahhh! me too! and it makes me crazy when i'm all tucked in ready to pass out and i'm like, 'oh shit, did i double-check the alarm?' :mad:

i have to recharge my cell phone every night for fear that i'll have an emergency the next day & run out of juice to be able to call for help

i don't leave the house without mascara either. ever. never ever ever. i don't think anyone has ever seen me without it on.

i'm very phone shy. i hate calling people, especially for the first time. so i just avoid it generally & wait for them to call me.

i refuse to let my toenails grow too much white. the whole french pedicure thing freaks me right out, who wants to show off how long their toenails are? ugh.

the kitchen needs to be clean. i hate it when shit is left on the counter or in the sink. i'm ok with dishes onthe drying rack, but otherwise, i value counter space.

i have countless other quirks, which is why i'm quirky & proud of it.

[Gareth]

^yeh i charge my phone every night as well, even if it is fully charged...and even though i never call people
umm...i always peel bananas from the end that is attached to the bunch to avoid that nubbin thing at the other end.

[cosmo105]

I recheck my alarm clock a good 5-6 times before I go to sleep on worknights
me too! i'm always sure the alarm gnomes will come and fiddle with it in the night.


no matter how many times i've checked it, after i walk away from the car i always have to come back and jiggle the handle to make sure it's locked. i could be halfway across the parking lot. i have to come back and check.

i said this in the food thread, but whenever i drink a bottled water/anything, i have to peel off the label, even the adhesive, and roll it up and put it in the bottle and put the cap back on. i don't know why.

my cell phone goes in my left pocket, my lip gloss and balm in my right (balm on top of the gloss). my mp3 player also goes in the right pocket if i'm using it.

if i wear small post earrings, i constantly check to make sure they're oriented the right way up.

i don't like being touched, except by a select few. i really don't like being hugged that much, except by my family, and i've never gotten why friends do it. acquaintances, sure, but my best friends that i've known for years - we just don't. i'd feel insincere doing it.

i always check at least twice to make sure i've logged out of everything.

i used to never step over cracks with my left foot when i was a kid for some reason, then i realized my left foot might be getting sad because of it, so i started doing all left feet to compensate, then i'd alternate left right left right...and if i touched something with my left hand, i had to touch it with my right hand, exactly the same way, same place. if i touched something on a chair or the floor with my foot, i'd make a square around it (you know, 8 points around a central point) with that foot and again with the other. i was a neurotic kid.

[monkey]

* my books have to be in size order in my purse (this causes problems a lot)
* i only use zebra m-301 pens (i stock up 2-3 times/year)
* i play with my ears/earrings a lot, just mindlessly.
* im not very christian, but i keep a rosary hanging in my bedroom and i dont sleep well if it's not out.
* i will only sleep with one blankie, whether it's a comforter or whatever else, everything else falls to the floor and i end up with one blankie. and it cant be a topsheet cause i suffocate with topsheets.

im oddly embarrased right now:o

[Gareth]

my cell phone goes in my left pocket, my lip gloss and balm in my right (balm on top of the gloss). my mp3 player also goes in the right pocket if i'm using it.

yeh cell phone in the left pocket, eftpos card/drivers license and keys in the right.

i always get my keys out about a minute before i reach the car or the house just to make sure i actually have them, i guess.

i never use a pocket for mp3 player though; i like to clip it onto my belt (y)

i never use the 'sipper top' for bottles of water, i always unscrew it and drink it through the actual top.

my weet-bix have to be arranged perfectly side-by-side [length ways] in the bowl, with the milk level going up to approximately 3/4 of the way up the biscuits.

if i eat them with yogut, the yoghurt is always applied after the milk is, but if i eat them with fruit, the fruit is always applied before the milk.

[TAL]

I'm just being myself.

[Planetary]

oh shitballs yeah. phone is left pocket, key and change in back right, cards in back left, mp3player in front right.

i also eat my food one thing at a time which is annoying.

[Mr Films]

-I'll only see a movie on opening night/weekend because I can't watch a movie in the theater unless it's close to packed or packed house.

-All my CD's and DVD's are filed alphabetically. It should be noted that when an artist has a real name (ie Miranda Lambert) it is filed by last name. However if the name isn't necessarily a person (ie Gnarls Barkley) it is filed by first.

-Everything in my apartment has its place and must be in said place when bedtime rolls around.

-I can't leave in the mornings until I pick a cd to play in the car which usually turns into an ordeal of sitting in my parked, running car trying to decide. ps, fuck the radio.

Mr Films have you ever been checked out for obsessive compulsive disorder?
And who is Miranda Lambert?

[*shorty*]

-I always always always pick apart my food and eat it. Whatever it is, it HAS to be picked apart.

-I always put a pen in my right pocket when I leave the house.

-I have to sleep with 6 pillows, placed in specific spots on my bed (one for my feet, one for my side, 3 for my head and one to cuddle up to cause im lonely) even though most of them are on the floor when i wake up.

-I have a specific glass that i drink my milk in. And another one for my mango lemonade.

-I take all my pills in order of thier size.

-My cell phone is always on, even though im afraid of talking on the phone, unless its family.

-I keep a 20 dollar bill in my shoe "just in case"

-I have to have at least 3 packs of gum with me at all times.

-Ipod in front right pocket(beside the pen:cool: ) Money/student card/debit card in front left. And nothing in my back pockets. Im afraid that it will make my butt looker bigger then it already is. (Cell phone is in my pencil case)

-My cd collection has to be in order of most listened to and so on..I change it constantly.

-Andd my room has to be messy at all times. I can't think or sleep unless its messy. Organized Chaos.

So, yeah theres a lot more. But I'd thought i'd spare you the time:):p

[befsquire]

my cds are alphabetized just like mr. films' are.

the silverware in the dishwasher has to be organized in a particular way. if it isn't, i will rearrange it.

these two things aren't ocd, they just make sense.

[Kid Presentable]

I raise my hands and say 'thank you' whenever I hear applause. Even if I only do it quietly, with great subtlety, I still do it.

[drizl]

i like to tattoo myself
i get self conscious
i love eating avocado hempseed hardboiled egg sandwiches
my music taste is quirky
my red arm is quarky

[fucktopgirl]

hahaha!


I wear the same earing and necklace everyday! If i dont have them i feel naked!

I have to butter my face with almond oil everynight (but i forget sometime), it is a duty to push away the time!

THat all i can think off right now!

[B4BY 4NN]

-I always say "I'm sorry" for things normal people wouldn't be sorry about.

-I wear socks to bed just for the feel of taking them off under the covers.

-I eat the same meal 3-4 times a week (which is usually white rice or pasta).

-At work, I carry a calculator on me at ALL times (I can't do simple subtraction in my head, numbers make me nervous for some reason).

-When it's time for bed, at least one cat has to be in the room with me. I don't like sleeping completely alone.

[BangkokB]

Where do I start?

*I don't like my big toe touched~which is unusual when I get a foot massage
*I'm afraid of heights
*When I get drunk~which only happens on days that end in y~I like to joyride in taxis with no destination///Which fills the movie Hostel full of holes
*I'm a loner by choice
*I don't answer my celluluar if I don't reconize the #, and rarely answer it even then unless it's work related

I've got all my records filed alphabetically as well. I also have them listed on my computer. I have vinyls and cd's mixed up, cause it took a while before I started buying cd's, but singles and longplayers are in seperate lists.
I have my books sorted by genre (music, gardening, horror, sci-fi, art, dictionaries and general knowledge, maps and travel... fiction is even alphabetisized). I also put plastic covers on all my books, a habbit I took after when living in London I had my books on the windowsill and after rain or something all my books were waterdamaged.
Also when I read paperbacks I read them very carefully not to break the back so they look like unread when I'm finished.

[jackrock]

the only one i can think of right now is this...

Whenever i open the door for someone and the say "Thank you" i always feel possesed to say "that's no problem" instead of saying "Your welcome," which is what id like to say.

[Randetica]

im too special and unbelievable unique to post in this thread

you couldnt take it
and i mean it

[ericlee]

I raise my hands and say 'thank you' whenever I hear applause. Even if I only do it quietly, with great subtlety, I still do it.

I could always get together with my buddies and hold a pep rally using my "firecracker firecracker" applause(refer to my post in the yelling thread)..

You will then have the pure justifcation for your approval.

[enree erzweglle]

My quirk is boring. If I'm drinking from a glass or something like my water bottle at the gym, I don't drink the last ~.5" of whatever is in it.

I don't like to do things like have shoes on the bed or open umbrellas in the house but those are superstitions and not quirks although superstitiousness, to some, is maybe quirky.

[iceygirl]

i have got to have the toilet paper roll running with the toilet paper coming over the roll, not from underneath. when i am at other peoples houses and they have it on the way i dont like it i have to try hard not to fix it.

[Lindsey_1535]

after I wake up first thing I do is read celebrity gossip

I do the robot when I feel awkward

I cant spend more then 5 mins is a store or else I feel like their watching my every move

I meow or prrrr when I get close to the bf

I alwayssss have to have chap stick on me or I lose my mind with dry lips

I leave a bunch of clothes in my kitchen so I can change quicker then going all the way upstairs

Always put hand lotion and chapstick on before bedtime

[b-grrrlie]

Me too! Sometimes I do fix it, especially at public toilets. Don't the people realise the paper tears at a wrong place when pulled the wrong way!

[enree erzweglle]

i have got to have the toilet paper roll running with the toilet paper coming over the roll, not from underneath. when i am at other peoples houses and they have it on the way i dont like it i have to try hard not to fix it.I am the same way with the way the TP has to feed (over the top) but it doesn't bother me when someone does it another way. It does bother my one friend, though, to have TP feed over the top and so when I visit her, I sometimes turn her rolls around just to remind her that I was there. :)

I forgot about this: I have to sleep with a fan on regardless of the season and the fan has to be a little noisy. A bent blade is ideal. It's just white noise. I need it probably because I grew up living next to a four-lane city street with nearby railroad tracks. When I camp, it takes a couple of nights for me to adjust to the the irregularity of the different sounds.

[abcdefz]

...I realized last night that I have a strange sleeping quirk: my feet have to be under the covers or I can't sleep.

[Nuzzolese]

Seems like I can justify every "quirk" so they don't seem like quirks but I guess they are neurotic.

1: If I am alone, and I enter my empty apartment or my parents' empty house, I have to check every room to make sure no one is in there - like an intruder or a monster or something. It's not that I'm afraid or am worried someone will spy on me. I just don't like being startled. I like to know my surroundings.

2: In the checkout line at the grocery store I arrange items on the conveyor belt according to their group;
Heavy things first, then Frozen things together, cold things all together, nonfood items MUST be together (toothpaste, windex, etc) and finally delicate things together (like eggs and bread) I don't know why. But I love the DIY checkout lines because I can arrange things in bags myself the way I think they should be.



3: I hate to buy underwear anyplace besides a lingerie store.
I cannot stand department store undergarments just hanging there in the middle with the coats nearby, in full view of the sportswear, bright lights and linoleum reflecting them, some price check on toaster ovens over the ceiling. Underwear's personal, I don't want people who aren't shopping for underwear themselves, to see me picking stuff out. That said, underwear goes in its own drawer. If it must share a drawer - mine do, I have big drawers (ha! get it? ehh...) they need drawer dividers.

God, that was hard to write. Towards the end there I had typed the word "drawer" so many times it started to lose all meaning and I was wondering if I was spelling it correctly, then questioning if I was even using the right word, it started to look so bizarre and foreign and like, too simple that it couldn't be right. That ever happen to you?

But I love the DIY checkout lines because I can arrange things in bags myself the way I think they should be. See, I don't think that's a quirk. That's just common sense, maybe born out of the fact that baggers sometimes (often?) pack things like eggs under things like melons. My supermarket hires baggers who are clearly mentally impaired. I am not joking and it's sweet that they do that and the people are sweet but they don't understand eggs and bread.

[Nuzzolese]

Do grocery stores still have people who offer to help you get your things into your car?

As a kid I recall that my mom always had someone help her load bags into the car and I don't see that anymore but I don't know if it's just me and I'm not paying attention, and they only offer to ladies who look like they need the assistance. She never tipped any of them. Once I asked her about it and she just shrugged absent-mindedly and said she thought it was just part of their job and that they always offered to do it.

[abcdefz]

Stores out here do. There are even notices posted on the entry doors asking customers not to tip.

Particularly since the parking lot was designed on a slight grade and is situated above the store (uphill)--lots of old people can sort of not make it to the top without some help.

There are a couple of smaller grocery stores in my neighborhood and I have seen the owners carry stuff out to the cars for their old lady patrons. God, some of those old ladies still wear cotton gloves and hats with little veils attached to them.

yes, all my life. i don't think it's a quirk, though, i always assumed that it happened to everyone

[peterclamp]

If I make a cup of coffee/tea etc I always blow 'dust' out of the clean cup beforehand, even when I know it is very clean because I washed it out myself!

I will only sit in one particular seat in the lounge and get annoyed if someone else is sitting there...unless we have guests then the good manners kick in!


:confused:

[Bob]

If I make a cup of coffee/tea etc I always blow 'dust' out of the clean cup beforehand, even when I know it is very clean because I washed it out myself!


:confused:

ah yeah, i do that. only i actually go to the sink and rinse it out before i use it. even if i'm pulling it out of the dishwasher, or if i've just finished washing it by hand.

i don't trust dishwashers, either, that's another quirk. i use them, because it's easy, but i always inspect every dish as i'm pulling them out. i'll do my best to get a dish as visibly clean as possible before loading it into the dishwasher. dishwashers don't have any standards of cleanliness, you see. they don't care if a job's actually done or not, they just run on a program. my roommates used to put EVERYTHING in the dishwasher. pots, pans, greasy things, they would load it completely haphazardly too. sometimes they'd put plates where the plates ought to be only they'd put them in fucking backwards, so they wouldn't get clean. why would you do that? i'd assume they were doing it just to piss me off, only they couldn't have known i hated it because i never said anything about it (i'm passive aggressive).

filthy bastards

[Sarky Devotchka]

yesterday when I was unloading the dishwasher, there were wooden utensils in there! wood doesn't go in there! ARGH!

[Bob]

yesterday when I was unloading the dishwasher, there were wooden utensils in there! wood doesn't go in there! ARGH!

i am FLIPPING OUT just thinking about that. we used to put plasticware in the dishwasher. that's probably the most redneck thing i've ever done. it worked though, so whatever. they didn't even melt by the end of the year

[Nuzzolese]

yes, all my life. i don't think it's a quirk, though, i always assumed that it happened to everyone

Oh I wasn't saying it was a quirk of mine, it was just a side effect of posting in this thread. I just mentioned it to be personable. Hence, the italics.

i like to tattoo myself
i get self conscious
i love eating avocado hempseed hardboiled egg sandwiches

Ever think that you might be self conscious because you have a red arm from tattooing yourself?


Only thing I can think of, aside from the alarm clock thing, is every time I see a good looking girl I say "Take it easy" somewhat under my breath. I have no idea why, it just happens.:(

Talking to your knob?

No, it's directed at her. I guess it's kinda like saying "Hey, would you mind turning the sexy down a little?"

Ah. My knob gets into Eurythmics.

Then you get what I'm sayin.

Ah. My knob gets into Eurythmics.


"Take It Easy" sounds a little more like The Eagles.

"Take It Easy" sounds a little more like The Eagles.
I was talking about 'Sweet Dreams' myself.

"Take It Easy" sounds a little more like The Eagles.

Could be a Boston song. I fuckin dig Boston.

Are you thinking of "It's Easy"?

Are you thinking of "It's Easy"?
It would make sense if it were 'Be Easy', or even 'It's So Easy'.

....Buddy Holly. (y)

-I cant leave the house without mascara on.


Neither can I!!:D

I leave a bunch of clothes in my kitchen so I can change quicker then going all the way upstairs

You are gonna make some guy a very happy man. I thought that ^ kind of 'guy' logic was foreign to women. That is totally something a guy would do. I once put socks in the oven to dry them faster. See? Guy logic.


I talk to myself constantly and whenever I get caught I try to play it off by humming so nonsense tune. I know I look so fucking retarded.

I hate to have people walking directly behind me if it is not necessary. If I'm downtown at rush hour, then OK, can't do nothing about it. It doesn't bother me in that situation but if I'm walking down an empy ass side street and someone is walking behind me within fifteen feet, it irks me. I will stop in the middle of the sidewalk and let them walk by a good stretch before I start walking again. That is a major problem with me. That shit bothers me to no end. I just don't see any reason for anyone to be that fucking close to me if there is no need. I hate it.

I don't like to be touched by pretty much anyone.

For some reason, if I don't know you then I don't like you. I automatically assume everyone I don't know is out to get something or on some kind of bullshit. It takes me a while before I actually can say to myself, "I like that person. They're cool people." even when that person has done absolutely nothing to me. When ever I meet someone the first thing I'm thinking is, "What's this guy's angle?" I have no idea why I'm like that. I guess I'm just conditioned to expect the worst from people because most of the time that is what you get.

I always blow bubbles in my milk with a straw (unless I am public).

I have to pull my Oreos apart and scrape the frosting side with my bottom teeth first then eat the other side.

Funny, I got a million of these things but for the life of me I can't think of shit right now.

I hate to have people walking directly behind me if it is not necessary. If I'm downtown at rush hour, then OK, can't do nothing about it. It doesn't bother me in that situation but if I'm walking down an empy ass side street and someone is walking behind me within fifteen feet, it irks me. I will stop in the middle of the sidewalk and let them walk by a good stretch before I start walking again. That is a major problem with me. That shit bothers me to no end. I just don't see any reason for anyone to be that fucking close to me if there is no need. I hate it.





I think that's just our society. Most of us have a zone of personal space, and we're uncomfortable when it's violated. The situation you're talking about is very normal.

Like, I HATE it when I snag a seat in a movie theater, and there are empty seats all over the place, and somebody comes and sits anywhere within about a two seat radius (if it's not necessary). It's kind of like being at the urinals -- you don't start filling in certain spots unless there's little choice.

As far as time-saving stuff goes, yeah -- I do that all the time. Some of it makes sense -- knowing when to leave a spot to catch the bus just in time -- and some of it's just silly, like prioritizing tasks like putting one shoes, shutting off lights, grabbing my keys, putting my lunch in the bag, etc. as I'm getting ready to leave, thus maximizing my efforts and economizing motion so I save about 40 seconds and three calories. :confused:

i'm laughing at myself right now. i just realized i have a BIG problem with joe shhmoe comming in off the street and using my pen. i just threw my pen out cause a dirty old man came in and grabbed it off my desk before i had the chance to direct him to the "public" pen. this is so stupid of me. but all i could think about were the germs that were on it. :o
