What are your some of your idiosyncracies

[Andee 220524]

With talk about gloom and doom threads on here, I decided to start a light hearted thread where we can talk about some of our idiosyncracies. Call them bad habits, OCD'ism..those things that we do that make us unique.

 

Here are some of mine...

 

Leaving cupboard doors open

 

Eating with my mouth open (don't breathe properly through my nose)

 

Speaking louder when I'm on a cell phone and can't hear the other person properly

 

Checking the front door to see if it's locked before retiring.

 

Checking the stove to make sure it's off before going out.

 

Removing the lint tray and cleaning it before I run the dryer.

 

Tapping my leg while I'm reading for example (drives other peoples nuts).

 

 

What are some of yours?

[mikkismitty 197]

Some of mine are:

Tapping my leg while sitting

Checking twice to make sure the home alarm is on before going to bed

Checking my front left pocket during the day to make sure I have my wallet

Sleeping with my right arm under the pillow

[April Dawn 12207]

When I am really nervous I clean my glasses compulsively

I like eating frozen fruit and veggies because I am allergic to the protein in milk and milk products.. Its like ghetto ice cream

I sleep with my phone in my right hand over my heart

I talk to innaminate objects when I'm pretty sure no one is around (I do get caught sometimes)

I say hi to every person I pass walking down the street

I do not frown and I do not have a frown line or deep laugh line on my face. You will not find any crows feet on me or a wrinkled forehead and I'm in my 30's. lol. I was always told if I were to frown, that I would get wrinkles. No botox for me yet.

 

If there is bright sunlight coming through any window in a room I happen to be in, I put on sunglasses.

 

I hate being in the sun but sometimes have no choice especially when I'm on vacation.

 

I have to have a shower every night before I go to sleep.

 

I always check the back seat before I start my car.

 

I have 3 alarm clocks.

 

I brush my teeth 6 times a day.

 

I somehow always end up leaving the refrigerator door open when I'm cooking

 

I have a problem using other people's utensils.

 

If I use a public restroom, I use toilet paper to cover the seat.

 

I do not sit on my bed in my clothes if I have been out in public and no one else is allowed to sit on my bed.

 

No one is allowed to use my own personal bathroom in my master bedroom.

 

I do not touch doors or elevators in public without gloves on. If i do, I have to wash them immediately.

 

I change kitty litter 3 times a day.

[Cleo Catra 178382]

I never leave my house without finding each of my three cats and telling them that I love them

 

I eat hot sauce on everything

 

I can't sleep with my feet under the covers

[Andee 220524]

 

I always check the back seat before I start my car.

 

 

Actually this is a good practice. And stowing your purse out of sight and locking your doors while driving. We're not quite as bad as Los Angeles, but we still need to be careful.

 

You also like to dry your hair with the light off in the bathroom ..I think it's cute.

[Nicolette Vaughn 294340]

Yeah, I don't like bright lights. Or my need to shut the bathroom door while I was coloring your hair. I don't know why...Yes, i can be strange in some ways! ;)

[Guest tr*****e]

Hmm... without taking too much space to list mine, here are some:

 

I play with pens when I'm not being engaged

 

I lock the door behind me when I get home

 

I daydream about being a ninja/sith/cyborg with high-tech weapons(sometimes I do get caught:D)

 

I walk fast almost all the time 'man-on-a-mission' style :D

 

I think about sex when I'm bored(not that unusual :D)

 

 

Thanks for starting this thread Angela - it brightened my mood:D

[mrgreen760 37785]

I wear only black clothes...

 

I read a newspaper front to back in order if some one has a section I'll wait rather than read it out of order...

 

I eat natural plain yogurt, blueberries, flax and bran for breakfast every day...

 

I can become emotional when discussing meat...

 

I strive to be underestimated...

 

Peace

my feet are my "temperature adjusters" while im sleeping...(if im too warm, they cant be under the sheets, when im too cold i have to have them tucked in)

 

i always have to make sure theres no leftover food in my sink from dirty dishes beore i actually wash them, And i have to pre-wash each one with hot hot water before i start actually washing them

[roamingguy 300291]

Some of mine...don't know if idiosyncracies

I have a decaf coffee at 7pm every day

I sleep in the nude...nothing sexual, just comfortable

I too lock the door (deadbolt) behind me when I get home (btw good idea, in this day and age of home invasion)

If I get a call from a unknown number, if they don't leave a message, I don't pick up the call...could be telemarketers.

I'm a jeans/sweatshirt/tshirt type of guy...been that way since high school

[Reuben Sandwich 13841]

Although I do a lot of walking or hiking, I always trip over something.

Sill like driving through big puddles.

I buy tools I may never use. Anyone need a cant hook or bark spud?

I always have to answer a ringing phone.

I don't smoke but I like a good cigar once in a while.

[Malika Fantasy 144625]

god....

 

I check my phone at least 50 times a day in my purse because I am sure I always loose it

 

I scratch my nose when I think

 

I change underwear about 3 times a day, I cannot stand having dirty(even if they aren't) underwears

 

When it's raining and the worms are outside, I will change sidewalk each time I see one. It take me a LONG time to walk outside when it's raining

 

I leave my cupboards open. I can have them close.

 

I brush my teeths 5 times a day. 4 times with toothpastes for sensitive teeth and one with regular one

 

I need at least 1 cup of coffee a day

 

Starbuck is my addiction

[Butterfly Kisses 2301]

I repeat myself when I am trying to explain things to someone.

I am obsessed with matching my socks.

I have to turn lights out in rooms I an not in.

My sheets have to be untucked if I stay at a hotel. I do not use top sheets since I won't tuck them in the first place, nice big comforter for me, with three or four pillows.

I have to line up my bathroom stuff in the corners from biggest to smallest in some form of arrangement. Toothbrush, toothpaste, brush and any other items laid in a straight line on a facecloth.

I leave toothpics around the house near variuos places I use and don't throw them away until I feel they are totally used.

I need to have a variety of plants indoors.

I selep with my windows and blinds open. Love to wake up to the sun and sounds.

 

It's kind of interesting when you actually do a bit of an inventory take of yourself. I am sure other people can tell you more things that go unoticed by yourself too.

[Malika Fantasy 144625]

oh and I play with my tongue piercing... a lot.

 

I know I will need to remove it at some point before I start to really break my tooth

[Nicolette Vaughn 294340]

Actually this is a good practice. And stowing your purse out of sight....

 

And your other idiosyncracy was to make sure hundreds of dollars weren't falling out of my coat pocket on my way to the bank that night. Hahaha!!

[Soleil Sublime 38108]

I sometimes suck my thumb when I'm tired or hungry.

 

I refer to my dogs as 'the kids', and I'm their Mommy.

 

No matter what gum I'm chewing, I have to blow a bubble or two.

 

I despise wearing underwear, so I do a lot of laundry!

 

 

Uh oh. Perhaps I've revealed too much...

[chavez 641]

Interresting thread Angela, thanks.

There are many, here are a few.

I talk to animals frequently. We don't even have to know each other, I just think it is the proper thing to do.(most of them undestand me.)

I have stopped talking to inanimate objects ( mostly due to the stange looks from other people), but I respect their place in the universe ( the objects as much as the people).

I enjoy the hightened sense of awareness that darkness allows me. I shower in the dark , even though I know someday that I will break my leg because I never saw that bar of soap on the floor when I stepped out of the shower.

Someday I would love shower in the dark with a lady who wants to share that hightened sense of awareness.

[Guest S**a*Q]

I talk to myself all the time.

 

I'm the queen of sound effects, from when I drive a car (Vroom Vroom!),

to when I'm using windex (Always gun sounds), to whatever other nonword speech things that come out of my mouth.

 

I talk too much, which means I interrupt a lot. *(I'm working on that one)

 

I leave piles of me all over the house. *(Makes my roommate insane)

 

I make lists of to-dos, but never do them or I lose them.

 

I'm easily distracted while walking which means

I run into, trip over and bash myself into EVERYTHING.

*(I also can't wait straight while talking to someone, so I run into the people I'm walking beside.)

 

My arms are too long for my body, and I am too expressive while I talk...

Which means I usually bash either of my hands or my funny bone once a day.

 

...I'm sure there are TONS more, I'm thinking...

[antlerman 17064]

......hmmmmmmm.......

 

masturbating while reading cerb

 

eating to fast......

 

masturbating while surfing porn......

 

just a couple.......i am after all....perfect in every other way......hahahahahahah

[Tiffany Amber 7031]

When I am alone I like peace and quiet. No music. No TV.

I need to have all the lights on in the house.

I lock the door as soon as I get inside.

I have to make my bed as soon as I wake up.

Have to sleep naked. It's more comfortable.

I talk to my dog! Ask him his opinion, even tho I know he wont answer, I am sure he thinks Iam crazy!

My make-up desk has to be organized and clean

I always rub my feet together 10 times before I go to bed!

[Angeltbay 612]

oh! i just thought of a few more...

 

I always play with the ball on my bberry, even if im not scolling on it

 

i always open my blinds in my living room when i wake up to let the sunlight in, and if i dont ill just get tired all over again

 

i rub my toes together all the time, doesnt matter what im doing

 

i need my music on whenever im cleaning/doing dishes

 

i always gotta pee before i go to bed, and as soon as i wake up

 

i moan when i eat something (im talking about food here)

 

and i always have mt hand on my crotch when im watching t.v.

[Reddog01 30280]

* I have to check CERB at least three times a day, more if I have time and I am alone....

* I can let the house go all around me as long as the kitchen is clean and the counters are free of clutter...

[NotchJohnson 214069]

- I clean my toothbrush before and after I brush my teeth and make sure it is apart when I'm done(it's an oral B) and put on the charge.

 

- my food can't touch each other, meat does not touch potato or veggies.

- I add real butter to my Orville Redenbacher butter flavor popcorn.

 

- I kiss the inside of my fingers and touch the picture of my SO face on the fridge every time I walk by it. She wants to remove it but I won't let her.

 

- I'll pre rinse a glass that is clean in the cup boards with water from the tap before I fill it up with water from the tap to drink from it.
