My friend's ex husband called a Swiffer mop a "swifter." We made fun of the way he said it all the time. Why would anyone be offended by something someone does that doesn't affect them one single bit?

i know i'm weird and i'm very happy to be that way. it would be way too boring to me if we all agreed and did everything the same way. i wear earplugs to movie theatres because they play the sound way too loud and it actually hurts me. i don't have to shave under my arms and never have. there is nothing but peach fuzz there and hardly any of it. have to shave the legs and bikini area though. i rarely wear pantyhose or stockings. i don't lay out in the sun or go to tanning booths.

Well then I'm wierd right along with you Cn! I have never shaved my legs...they're smooth as a baby's behind. My grandfather was Native American and I guess that's where my hairlessness comes from. No one would know that I'm Native American though, my mother is nearly 100% Irish and I have her fair complexion and red hair.

LOL, my grandfather (maternal) is Native American also, but my dad is 100% scottish. So, I inherited the hair, the white white skin, and the ability to sunburn better than anyone I know. I am not hairy, mind you, but I do have to shave my pits daily. I have really dark hair.

i get terrified when someone sneezes or coughs into their hands and then offers to shake with me without washing them first. i don't eat at buffets, unless it is a private affair, since watching both young children (unsupervised) and older adults stick their fingers in the food for a taste. i don't like bumper stickers on my vehicles and always make the dealership take their logo off (it's real easy and it doesnt' hurt the paint).

I have many weird things, but the one I am willing to admit is that I named my car. It's a Honda and I named it Fhenry... Fhenry Honda

I went on a little walk this morning, and I noticed that I still try very hard to avoid stepping on a sidewalk crack.

I do that too. Of course, I'm one quirk from an institution at the best of times. I also have to have the fan on when I sleep even in winter.

Hmmm - I have to have all knives and scissors put away before I can sleep (seriously). I wonder what Freud would think of that?

I cannot allow any part of my body to hang over the edge of the bed, scares me. I know something is down there ready to grab me. Been like that all my life.

I really don't think this is weird but DH told me this morning I am weird. You know how you end up with a sliver of soap? Well I stick it on top of the new bar so none is wasted.I lather both pieces of soap and press them together really hard.He claims that is carrying things too far.

Did you know that there is a little net or cloth "pouch" that is made specifically for putting the little leftover slivers of soap so that you can use them up completely--without having to attch them to the next bar of soap? I used to do what you do, until I found the pouch. Now I just drop the leftover soap into it and lather up. The soap is used completely and I feel like I have not wasted a thing... Okay, tht is my second confession besides naming my car...

OG, I am the same way! When I was a kid I had to be surrounded by stuffed animals just cuz I knew whatever was under the bed wouldn't be able to get me, lol. Now I sleep with an extra pillow on the edge of the bed. I seriously know better but I can not sleep if I'm hanging out and theres no pillow. I save the slivers of soap for Kota. She likes to take dolls in the tub and everytime she does she has to bathe them. I'd rather her use those than the regular bar, lol. ETA to my weirdnesses. I have never liked clowns but became totally scared of them after seeing Poltergiest when I was about ten. When I read Stephen Kings IT with Pennywise, that did me in, I went from being totally scared to completely terrified. I am also absolutely, 100%, in a completely insane way terrified of birds. If theres one in my path while I'm walking I will go out of my way to avoid it. If they're flying you will see my duck and run. Once at work, I walked into a room where the couple had a bird. He'd gotten out of his cage and was flapping around the room. When he headed straight at me, I threw some towels I was carrying straight up in the air, spun around while screaming, and ran out of the room slamming the door shut behind me. For the next week, everytime I saw this man, he'd throw his hands up in the air and howl with laughter. He actually thanked me for giving him the best laugh he'd had in years and I was dead serious in my terror. A few months ago the neighbors bird ended up in my back yard. She asked if I'd grab him and hand him back. I grabbed a pillow case and bravely went after this bird..right up until it moved then I screamed and ran the other way. I finally did manage to throw the pillow case over him and picked him up. When we realized we were both too short to reach over the fence, I said something like heads up and tossed! this poor bird over the fence at the neighbor lady. It took me about 45 minutes to stop shaking!

I am terrified of bees/wasps/dragonflies etc. I know most people either ignore them or run or make sudden swatting movements. You sure don't want to do anything sudden around me when they are around. I freeze. I mean when there is a bee/wasp around me I FREEZE deliberately. If I have a foot in the air, and a hand reaching out... LOL I don't care... I stay put... and if I must, I s.l.o.w.l.y. will put my foot or arm down. WHY? Cuz many years ago a wise old camp councilor (probably all of 17 or 18 years old) told us that 'statues don't get stung, so stay put and you'll be safe' and I have stuck to that theory forever. Over the years I've had bees/wasps/whatever in my ears, my nostril, and my mouth, and I've NEVER been stung. I am terrified, but I stay still til its gone. I get VERY upset with people near me who make sudden movements or who dare to swat at them, I figure it makes the bees/wasps mad and that's the last thing I want to do... I just want them to explore and then, buzzzz off. Okay, so now its official, I am neurotically weird. Tuff, I've never been stung so I am happy to be the way I am. I heard that you could possibly die if you are allergic, and how the heck do you find out until you get stung? On the other hand... I don't mind snakes as much as most people do. I've held two big suckers in my life. Once at camp... when they took us to a nature reserve to see them, and I got to pet one. (I lived a very exciting childhood, LOL) And a few years ago as a journalist at the Fall launch party for a local science tv station, I have a pic somewhere of me wearing a boa around my shoulders and it was a REAL boa.

I do the soap thing too, Supergranny. (Hubby, on the other hand, throws out his Ivory when it's at half size) There is nothing out there more evil than clowns. Hate hate hate them!
