ITA Goddess, with the home is my sanctuary thing. I NEVER have people over (except my bf of 3.5 yrs), and never throw parties.

I totally will pick up a penny, purely because I don't want "good luck to pass me by" if I "let it lie". I do't put it down again though. Nice twist.

Regarding my toilet paper thing....I also have a specific way I pull it off the roll. And once it's ripped from the roll, I have a specific way of crumpling/wrapping it into a large enough and thick enough surface area, where every part is guaranteed to be a certain thickness.

When I am at a public bathroom, and they have those huge one-ply rolls, that are so heavy that you can only rip one or two squares at a time, I seriously feel distress. I hate the thought of a collection of single squares, even if I take 60 squares. It's never the same.

My hands must be completely dry and warm, if it is a blow hand dryer. I cannot leave with any sort of wetness on my hands.

When I am in the bath, I am dry from the boobs upward, and the arms. I try to take the plug out with my toes, but I am upset if I have to wet one hand. Once I've unplugged the bath with the one hand, I will "share" the wetness of that hand and arm, with the other hand that remained dry. Just so it's a more even dry off.

GAL - you use the Dewey for your books?!?! I organize them by height.

If I see someone smoking while I'm walking on the street, I will take as many deep clean-air breaths as possible, and then hold my breath as I get close to them, and will try to hold my breath until I am AT LEAST 20 paces away.

If I think someone is attractive on the street/in public, I try to smell their wind as they pass me. On the flipside, if I see someone unattractive, I try not to get a waft of them.

The Q-tip nose thing is weird. I have to say. But my Q-tip thing is that I HAVE TO clean my ears right after the shower, while they are still wet.

My boyfriend FLUSHES his Q-tips, which drives me up the wall.

I cannot sit properly. My feet ALWAYS have to be on the chiar, either sitting in the cross-legged way, or I am sitting on my feet. My feet never touch the floor.

I refuse to have a cell phone. I do not even like to ANSWER my phone when it rings. I wait for someone to leave a message, then call them back. If I feel like it. Which is rare. I hate the phone.

I am loving hearing about everyone's weirdness. I am not alone!

Lyn - that whole post was weird. I don't know what to ask about first.

You sleep with your eyes open?

You have guest towels that you won't even let the GUESTS use?

OMG, TP! My hubby teases me that a tree dies every time I use the bathroom! LOL

Ddr, grits with eggs mixed in is the ONLY WAY to eat grits! YUM!

I have to wash dishes in the same order. Glasses first, then plates and bowls, then pots and pans, then silverware. I leave it for last because I hate doing it. Sometimes I leave the silverware and hubby will do it for me. He's so good to me. LOL

I wash Herc in the same order as I wash myself! Just thought about that! Funny. Face. Then ears. Then neck. Then back, then his chest and belly. Then his hiney and tail, and finally his legs and feet.

Yes, TP must be over, too.

I wash all my dishes thoroughly, then put them in the dishwasher and wash them again. I know, but it makes for fewer germs and I feel better about it.

I use Q-tips on my ears while they're still wet, too.

Okay, I guess another weird one coming up. I also tweeze all the hairs out of my nostrils.

ETA: Oh, and I always sit on one leg doubled up underneath me. (Even did it in the office!)

When I use a public restroom I have to tear off about a foot of toilet paper and throw it away because somebody else had to have touched it.

Oooh...I do that too. Especially if you can tell there was a hand clutching it and it's all smooshed at the end. Ugh.

I've become a big fan of the automatic paper towel dispensers. I love those and I hate the ones where you have to turn the side crank. Oh! And public bathrooms with foam soap are the best. I love foam soap.

kaykay, you and my husband would be great together. i would rather have a plate IN the sink than on the counter. my husband stacks dirty things on the counter. ick!
i use q-tips in my nostrils, too.
and i hate when my husband licks his lips before a kiss. inside i go, 'ugh' and as soon as he turns around, i am swiping my mouth with the back of my hand.
i hate it when the carousel in my microwave turns clockwise, as it does every other time, so i will stop it and re-start it, so it's going the correct way for me!

TP Over (but for years I followed my Mom's TP Under regimen).

I love the public bathrooms that have the foam soap that automatically dispenses, the water that automatically runs when you wave your hand in front of the sensor and of course the towel dispensers that work when you wave a hand in front of them!!

And I walk around and close them again, Tigerman.

I wash and dry myself in the same sequence all the time, like others here. I think someone mentioned having to getting the other hand wet if one already is - I do that, too. I have to rinse any glass I'm going to use (whether it's from the cabinet or right from the dishwasher) before I put anything in it. If I leave the house from the front door, I have to reenter it from the same door, not the back or the side - the same for getting in and out of the bed.

I thought Q-tips were made for the nose...those hard to reach, way in the back, crunchy ones that drive you nuts.

Ooops....I'm on this side of the fence now.

My apologies.

TP by the handfuls and over the top.
Wash dishes before using the DW.

When loading the silverware in the dishwasher, different sized spoons have to be kept seperated, as well as the other utensils.

Towels have to be folded in half, then in thirds and when putting them away, the fold has to be facing out. (No edges allowed to show...it looks sloppy)

I don't fold my underwear or socks.

I do the drying thing the same way every time too!

I can vouch for Cindori on the entering and leaving through the same door and the bed thing..she wont let me do it either! Plus, we cant walk on the opposite side of a pole, or divider or anything like that..

i only drink from straws away from home. i have seen how those commercial dishwashers work. and there have been too many times that i have gotten a glass with lipstick still on it.

and i always wipe off my utensiles before using them away from home too.

When people hand me money (in abundance as they always do..haha) that is all jumbled I have to put it smallest to largest, face up with the face at the top. I don't wait until they leave either.

I like a clean kitchen and will clean other people's kitchen if I feel it needs it. I try to make it so I'm just "helping."

I hate socks and will wear flip flops until it snows.

Cannot wear a turtleneck cuz I will gag all day long.

I call TP.... shit tickets.

I'm another one that wants the TP to go over and not under. I'm always changing them at mom's because her caretakers put it the other way. They should get the hint by now.

I keep my makeup in a Longaberger basket under the sink. Every morning I lay the stuff out on the counter in just the same spot and put it on in the same order. Then it goes back in the same place in the basket and under the sink again.

When I eat a piece of homemade fruit pie (apple, cherry, peach, etc), I like to eat just the top crust first, then the fruit and then the bottom and side crusts. I savor each part. This used to drive my dad (bless his soul) crazy. He would always ask me if I did that when I went out to eat somewhere (I don't), but I would tease him and say sure, doesn't everyone!!!

Mustard???? Ack!

I have to lay out clothes to.

I basically have to be prepared for the next day...the night before.

My house has to be neat and tidy before I can go to bed.
