I'm the opposite with tomatoes...I can't eat plain raw ones at all. I eat them any other way though: stewed, sauces, ketchup, etc. But give me a raw slice on a burger and I gag.

Oh, I also like to relax by coloring in coloring books.

i wear granny panties, the only comfortable kind!
i also have to have my eggs over medium. no rooster sperm for me. (one of my b-i-l's called it rooster 'stuff', well, you can imagine the word, and i cannot forget it. i cannot have the slime! cook it!) i have always hated cold cereal, mayonnaise, and sweet potatoes. i rarely eat peanut butter, but peanut butter cookies are my favorite kind of cookie!
my late b-i-l loved peanut butter, cheese, bacon and lettuce sandwiches.
i could never be patient enough to color in a coloring book.

My paper towels and toilet paper must roll from the top also and I have been know to change the rolls in others homes too.

All pictures must be straight and I will straighten others for them if theirs aren't.

If I go in a store and their merchandise is not straight, I will straighten it before I leave. Once, while my car was being inspected I straightened out every shelf in the gentleman's store. Didn't know him from Adam but I could not stand the clutter.

All clothes in closest are arranged in groups of slack, dresses, blouses, jackets, skirts. and the casuals are separated from the "dressy". Shoes are grouped according to color.


If I write a letter by hand and the writing is not perfect, all the letters the same size and perfectly slanted I will throw it away, ps no letter ever gets mailed, thank God for e-mail!

I vacuum my floors every day without fail sometimes twice a day and it drives my husband bonkers. He gets up and goes outside so he doesn't have to hear it.

Damn I just realized I need help! Anyone know a good head doctor?

I remember when I got my period and my mother showed me the "sling". I thought it was a medieval form of torture. I LOVE plain Lays potato chips on sandwiches. I can't have them anymore though. I wear flip flops year round except when I go outside in the winter. I think thongs are gross. I tried to wear one once and that lasted for about 10 minutes. I never bought another one. I love this thread!

Ok, thanks guys, I'm turned off eggs again, lol. I can not eat them if I think about what they could become.

I hate pickles on sandwiches and burgers. Pickles are fine on their own but never on bread (makes it soggy.)

If we go out to eat, I will clean the table before we leave. I stack dishes, will pick up trash like napkins, straw wrappers, and sweet n low packets, and will wipe the crumbs off the table and put them onto a plate. For some reason this used to drive Darren nuts, though he's gotten pretty used to it by now.

when i used to pack my husband's lunch, i would put the lettuce on the inside of each slice of bread and put the mayo and mustard, etc., on the inside of the lettuce. the sandwich didn't get soggy and he could turn the lettuce toward the bread later if he wanted the condiments between the bread and lettuce.

Add me to bringing back memories of the sling thing!

Jewels, is not the only one who likes toilet paper to roll from under!
Paper towels roll from under too.

When I'm getting ready to log off for the night, I have two rituals. 1) I won't log off during my 13th hour of Internet connection. If I'm at 13 1/2 hours, I browse around for a while more until I've reached the 14th hour. Then its safe to log off. 2) Before I close down the computer, I play a game (or more) of Solitaire. I must win a game before I can call it a night. If I don't win, I keep playing until I do. I don't want to end my day/night on a losing note.

I know I have a lot more quirks. But that's enough for now.

CnDear, I LOVE putting chips in my sandwiches! Skootzy, Its cus I love the crunch when I munch my sandwiches. Try it! I've converted a few people to this culinary affectation of mine.
And Cn... I have mooshed up chips in my yogurt, too, but I much prefer using the yogurt as a chip dip.

Oh, and I either moosh up my ice cream til its soft or wait til its melty and creamy, but not soupy.

Oh an my dh and I don't like our food too hot, just lukewarm. We're not too keen on burning our tongues. Which reminds me, I recently worked with this gal who gave the staff in the lunchroom a hard time. Even if the stuff had steam rising from it, and the plate was too hot too handle, she always made them put it in the microwave again to make it even hotter!?!? It used to irritate the crap outta her that I'd be putting ice cubes in my soup to cool it down while hers was being nuked, and she'd be bitching loudly to the kitchen staff why wasn't it hot enough?!

i refuse to use self-checkout lines in stores. i don't get a discount for doing it.

i don't like pickles on sandwiches either.

i used to stack dishes and clean the table at the restaurant until i realized i was paying them to do it. so, now i resist even though i want to.

Okay. I pick the 'Chalazae' out of my eggs/ Either way....whatever the white squiggly thing is, I find it disgusting. And have you ever cracked open an egg and it had blood in it? My cousin cracks her eggs into a different bowl bowl first in case there's blood and to pick out the, uh, chalazae.

War, my mom does that same thing of cleaning off the table at restaurants...but even more quirky than that is that she makes the bed before leaving a hotel room!!

Kaili, I'm with you on the 'ugh' factor of the 'squiggley' things in eggs. The only eggs I eat is when I go out for breakfast, once scrambled by someone else I can eat them.

I make a bed before I leave a hotel room, just incase I have left something in between the sheets, etc.
Can't wear regular underwear for fear of panty lines and I am so used to butt floss now, I don't even think I own underwear that cover my whole butt.
Can't go to bed at night without a bottle of water. (makes me have to pee at least once in the middle of the night, but I am up anyway with little ones)
I only like my eggs scrambled with American cheese melted in.
Pickles must be on all burgers.
The only thing I will eat at a fast food restaraunt is at Carl's Jr. and it's a spicy chicken sandwhich with NO TOMATOES, with american cheese and Pickles.
I can't eat sliced american cheese by itself, makes me gag.
I can't eat raw tomatoes unless they are in salsa.
I don't salt any of my food, but please pass the pepper.
I never understood peanuts in coke.
Almonds make my throat itch.
When I clean out my ears it makes me cough

Kaili, the blood in an egg indicates that it has been fertilized. I pick that out also.

I will clean a hotel room before leaving also.

I do not put chips in my sandwiches but I must have chips with a sandwich. However, I do love Fritos sandwiches. When I eat Cheetos (Crunchy only), I pick out the big fat ones because they are harder and crunch better.

I will only break a couple of crackers at a time in soup because soggy anything is gross - crackers, bread, cereal (I use very little milk, keep my bowl tilted so the milk is at one end and I can move the cereal into the milk as I'm eating).

Just try and make me walk past something hanging crooked.

ETA: It drives me absolutely crazy to see people salt their food before they have tasted it. Ex is this way and so many times I was tempted to oversalt when cooking just to make a point.

Native, nope, wrong! Google 'blood in eggs' for an explanation. Less than 1 percent of eggs have a blood spot. Few get past the candling process. Our store-bought eggs are from hens that are caged and there are no rooster about to fertilize the eggs; ergo, the eggs we buy at the supermarket can have a blood spot that has nothing at all to do with being fertilized.

OG, thanks for the correction. Once again, another myth disspelled. I can't believe how much I have learned about undies and eggs in this thread.

i don't worry about having underwear lines nor do i care if anyone else has them.

i don't cook so i don't worry about what is inside of an egg. i just eat them once they are cooked by someone else.

i don't like to go to the ladies room in groups. i consider that a private moment and don't care to share it with others.

i gag and will sometimes even puke is something has an odor - like a litter box, a dirty diaper, someone passing gas, rotting garbage, sour milk, etc.

i don't let the fashion and entertainment industry dictate to me what i wear. i wear what i want, when i want and only if it is clean and comfortable. that's all that really matters.

We have a rule about hotel maid service. If we're there less than two days, we don't need anything. We're quite capable of cleaning up after ourselves, lol. If we're there more than three days, we ask for fresh towels only on the middle day we're there.

All that goes out the window if the kids are with us though. With them, we ask for fresh towels everyday and that the trash be taken out.

I did housekeeping and food service for long enough to know thats hard work, and while most do their job to the best of their abilities, if I can give them a little break by helping out, I don't mind. I'd be doing it at home anyways, lol.

I am like Escapee - raw tomatoes are disgusting in anything other than salsa, and even in fresh salsa, I'll try to aim the chips for the more onion-heavy areas, and flick out the big pieces of tomato.

No matter how short my stay at a hotel, I still put clothes in the drawers.

I like sour cream with almost anything, and I love pepper. I HATED it as a kid, but now I pepper everything. Especially french fries.

I am a waitress, and I dislike anyone piling the plates, as they inevitably stack it in a more UNSTABLE pile, than one I can carry. What is worse is people who INSIST on handing me things as I am clearing. I have my method, let me do it. Most especially since you are SUPPOSED to clear from the right, and if people are handing you things, they are taking away that element of service.

Chips in sandwiches is weird.
