i can sleep nekkid but only if i have a sheet to tuck under my boobs, under my arms and between my legs. i can't stand sticking to myself.

i hate to sweat. if i do i can't sleep unless i take a shower to get rid of it.

i can't stand to see a tilted plaque or picture on the wall. it has to be straightened no matter where i am or whose it is.

i insist my dh not put anything on my side of the bathroom cabinet. it is my space.

i refuse to pick up after anyone. if you made the mess then you will clean it up.

my panties, bras and slips cannot be mingled in the drawer but neatly stacked separately.

Escapee, your first two made me howl!! OMG, Serenity; I thought I was the only one!

I agree; I love this thread!


More from HP

I talk to myself--not a ton, but enough so you'd raise your eyebrows or elbow me once in a while.

When my mother sees something on the news that makes her angry, she yells at the person's image on TV. (Now I think THAT is weird.)

I talk to Herc all the time. And, after 33 years of marriage, I have my dh talking to him, too.

I only put a bra on when I leave the house--unless it's winter. And then, with the right coat, I sometimes cheat on that, too--depending upon where I'm going (grocery store, etc). (I'm retired. Leave me alone!)

I hate to sweat or remain sweaty for one second longer than I have to, too. HUGE, huge thing with me. I'd rather be chattering from the cold than sweating.

Okay, one more inexplicably weird thing . . . I just started doing this about a year ago. My hairdressers haven't said anything to me yet--so I guess it isn't too noticeable. (Or else they think I'm weird, huh?)

Well, let me continue. I put on my makeup seated at my desk (cuz of my back)--and use a nice, lighted mirror with the magnification thing so I can see every pore, etc. In that position, I couldn't help noticing when my grey hairs started sprouting (not sure if it's split ends or just shorter hairs here and there) at my forehead hairline. So, with my handy tweezers, I pull out the grey hairs.

They grow pretty quickly. I think. Or else I am just getting more and more of them. But I still work at pulling them out--just along the hairline, now, but I know this isn't a smart thing. Still, when I do my morning routine, I can't resist pulling out about 10 grey hairs each time (that's each day). Stupid and Weird?!

i always sleep nekkid (don't know when i'll get lucky). hehehehehe...........but i keep a flannel nightie or long t-shirt or bathrobe on the floor next to my bed in case i have to dress as i run due to an emergency! oh, when i'm in the motorhome in a parking lot, i always wear sweats to bed. when i am in a campsite or on family's property, well, there goes the nekkid again.
i like the weight of blankets over an electric blanket.
i have to shake my milk to put in my coffee. i take an empty container and shake an ounce or two of milk until it's really foamy and then pour it on top of my coffee. cheaper and works as well as the capuccino machine i had! i almost cry if someone gives me the milk or cream and it's just poured in LOL

i can't stand root beer or bourbon as they taste like licorice to me which i can't stand either.

i can't even get asparagus in my mouth due to the smell so i don't even know what it tastes like.

if belle peppers are in a dish it totally overpowers all other tastes and i can't eat it.

i like chocolate and i like mint but put the two together and i gag.

i love cold pizza for breakfast.

i don't believe there is a specific time of day to eat anything. if it is available and it's food then it is fair game for the moment in question. no stuffy rules like eggs only for breakfast.

Ever since I was not allowed to eat popcorn when I had braces, I have hated popcorn. I HATE IT. I hate people eating it in the theatre. (No offense to all of you). But seriously, it is SO LOUD. Popcorn pieces are SMALL, wrap you entire mouth around the piece, CLOSE YOUR MOUTH, and THEN bite down. I friggin' HATE the sound of people eating popcorn. It ruins my movie experience.

I will never try mushrooms. They are grown in larger amounts of poo than other vegetables, and they are porous. I refuse to think they are anything more than a poopy dirty vegetable.

I can make m own mess, but other people's mess bugs me for some reason.

The butter thing reminded me about my thing. I HAVE TO put sandwich stuff all the way to every edge of the sandwich. Like mayo, mustard, cheese. I feel that every bite of the sandwich needs all the toppings. Same with toast; butter must go to every edge.

As well, I need the same "thickness" of sandwich fillings all over the sandwich. I can't use two cheese slices, and just overlap them. They have to be cut up, and made even, right down to the upper CURVE of the top of the bread slice. For grilled cheeses, I have to cover all of the bread slice once, and then the remaining bit of cheese slice, I cut into little pieces (1/4") and distrubute them evenly over the entire slice.

Kraft dinner: I start with it as normal. When I get sick of eating it, I add ketchup, and it's like a new meal. But I wouldn't eat the whole thing as just cheese or all ketchup.

I hate other people's breath.

I, too, cannot sleep nekkid.

I do not like to drink. I dislike alcohol. It has never been enjoyable to me. Not beer, not wine, and not any hard liquors. About once a year, I will drink a Frangelico and milk, tall.

I could NEVER not wear underwear. The thought of my bits being exposed to clothing grosses me out.

I NEVER take off my earrings.

Wire hangers should be abolished.

Well, how are we for a pack of freakin' weirdos?

Skootz, Kaili, Terolyn I'm picking up what you're putting down about the melted butter thing. I have been yelled at by both my father and my husband about putting toast back in the toaster if the butter isn't melted. I will not eat cold butter. I LOVE melted butter.

Tabby, I'm feeling you on the DH driving thing. I can't sleep in the car with Colossus driving. Yours doesn't look at signs; mine is a SIGN MAN, and he turns all the way around in his seat checking out designs while rocketing forward at oh, say 80 MPH in a 40 MPH speed zone. I want to be awake when I die, so I never sleep in the car.

On the sleeping nekkid thing, I finally decided who cares if they see my naughty bits if there's a real emergency. Totally buff for me and like Tabby says, who knows when you might get lucky.

Oh, and on a non-solidarity note, I don't like people touching my stuff. If I put something down, I want it in the same place when I go back to get it.

Cndeariso, I'm all over the wet towels in the dryer with the wrinkled clothes thing. I've done that since I was a kid. I've never to this day seen my mother with an iron in her hand. Learned it from her.

My hair's curly but straight with the wrong haircut;

Otherwise the weird thing about me is I'm perfectly normal. Everyone hoards lightbulbs, toilet paper, paper towels, cans of tomatoes and occasionally green beans, don't they? It's only an effort to stave off the urgency of running to Wal-Mart in the middle of the night when you least want to put clothes on, isn't it? Perfectly normal.

Colossus wanted me to point out that my German mother never taught me how to fold fitted sheets. His German mother taught him how to fold fitted sheets. His mother is more German than mine. Sigh.

Bill folds our sheets so well they look like they just came outta the pkg!

I just wad them up and threw them in closet...they wont look wrinkled when they are stretched across the bed...has always been my theory.

I sleep naked

I never iron, if it needs to be ironed it goes to dry cleaners

I have to put seat back and close my eyes when bill drives...othewise we fight cuz he likes to ride ppl's asses. I figure if I die I won't see it comming.

I put red pepper on everything, except sweet stuff

I never fill my gas tank to full...superstition for me

Fascinating! You are all so darned interesting.

Gotta tell you folks that pluck nose hairs that it is a very dangerous thing to do. Your doctors would not be happy!

I have been called weird, but I don't think that anything holds a candle to you guys.

The one thing that I do that no one has yet mentioned, but I am sure that some of you do, is that I stir my ice cream until it is soupy before I eat it. I won't eat ice cream from a dish in public because to stir it to soup would be hopelessly immature. Now I am just sorry that I even shared that because it has been my dark secret.

I always have a laundry basket with sheets sitting waiting to be washed cuz I refuse to try to fold them, lol. When I change sheets, I grab a set for each bed and toss in the washer, dirty ones come off the bed and go into the basket, clean ones come out of the dryer and go on the beds. I've never been able to fold a fitted sheet.

I don't care which way the tp goes on the roller as long as it's on. Hate to see it just sitting there.

I squeeze tooth paste from the middle of the tube.

I talk to myself all the time cleaning, driving, even shopping I repeat my list outloud to myself.

I got caught in one of my weirdnesses today. I talk to the dog usually when I'm leaving or coming home. Something like, I'll be back in a few minutes, or were you a good boy? Hehe, today my neighbor walked up without me seeing just as I was walking out the door and I was telling Harvey I'd be back in a while and to be good...she wanted to know who was home, lol.

No, no, no, no, no. No. Not only do I stir my ice cream til it's soupy (and my sister will do this with me), but I take my vanilla ice cream first, put Nestle's powdered Quick Mix on top, then mush it, stir it, and slime it until it's a chocolate slurry. And then drink it out of the bowl. Vee's no weirdo, she's PERFECTLY NORMAL!!

(This is Colossus's post, not mine. I just type LOL.)

It is facinating Vee! I agree everyone is really interesting. BTW Nicholas and Skyler both love their ice cream stirred into a soup. Your in good company!!!

Plucking nose hairs ... ouch!! Not here!

My weird habit that I don't think anyone has mentioned is ... when I'm driving the car and going through an intersection, if the light is yellow, I'll hit the inside roof of my car for good luck. I've been doing this for years. It's all superstition but for some reason I believe it will stop me from getting a ticket if the light happens to turn red while I'm crossing.

Is that weird??

I too must have a perfectly clean kitchen before I begin to cook a meal. The TP and paper towels must be over not under. Toast must be buttered as soon as it pops and hits the plate! Corn on the cob, too. I don't like for anything to be left on the table, such as salt and pepper or napkins, except the centerpiece.

I hate when people pop in for a visit. My dh's long distance family have made a practice of phoning from the corner a block away to say they've come to visit for a few days or even a couple of months! There's been no preparation for time off, no checklist of things to do to entertain them, feed them, nor sleeping arrangements, and of course they swear it doesn't matter.

I like to eat naturally ripe tomatoes like an apple, but if the tomato is still slightly yellow, I like to slice it and sprinkle sugar on it.

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Vee and Colossus, you have missed the whole point of ice cream, dears! (ETA: Vacanick, Nicholas and Skyler have an excuse; they aren't fully formed yet. Heh.) And Nestle's Quick on top of that. OMG! My taste buds are jiggling in revolt.

I hate to ride with my dh when he drives, too. He's in land acquisition, so when he drives, his eyeballs are everywhere but on the road!! And that doesn't mean he drives slowly, either.

If I have the nerve to glance over at him and catch him looking out his side window, I simply can't keep my mouth shut. So, I've learned to put my seat back, pull a jacket or blanket over my head, close my eyes and take a nap. (Heck, I've lived long enough. Heh.)

Hey Lori, I like your new thread good to see you back and please try to create this into a "Daily Weird" thread. Kind of like and same as your "Daily Ethical Dilemma" thread, only different.

Today's weirdness:

I can't help it, every time Godfather comes on TV I have to watch it. Doesn't matter what episode, I HAVE to watch it. I can recite the dialogue much like the folks that go see Rocky Horror Picture Show, something compels me to watch it again and again. But then I'm a guy, so that makes me normal.

I never sit properly. Like I'm cross=legged in my chair right now. I think it annoys my family when we go out to eat and we're in booths..

Also, I hold my breath when I walk by smoking folk.

And, I HAVE to clean my ears with Q-tips right after I shower too. They feel full and icky if I am not able to..

TP must be over. i HATE under. And I also tear off a lot and throw away too.

Yay for flip flops! I don't like to wear socks either. I feel too constricted.

I sleep always under the covers, which is why I sleep naked sometimes.. LOL And the time my roommate had to wake me up when our smoke alarms were going off, yeah, I was not clothed.. LOL, had to ask her to shut the door so i could get dressed. That hasn't stopped me from the occasional nakey night.

The sandwich thing. Same here.. Must be all to the edge, and yes, when making grilled cheese, I cut up the final piece of cheese to fill in all the holes.. NO OVERLAPPING! :-)

I shave my feet and toes.

I love this thread. :-)

Oh Pamy, I must tell you that once we had brand new neighbors of two weeks renting the house on the corner. They parked their second car on the street. They must have had a feud going on with someone, because at 2am we heard multiple sirens and then saw the bomb squad show up. Someone had tried to blow up their car with a rag caught on fire and stuffed in the gas tank. The tank was full and it kept the car from blowing up.

Vacanik, I also hit the roof of my car when going through a yellow light, even if hubby is driving. He just flips the light off. LOL

I eat ice cream cake from DQ a certain way. First the vanilla, then the chocolate, then the yummy cookie center. When they made the little ice cream cup cakes, after I ate the vanilla, I had to turn the rest over to eat the chocolate before the cookie.. :-)

This thread is growing SO fast.

Wow Gracie, that is weird. In my 20's I filled my tank for first time..never had enough money to fill it up at one time LOL....and it got stolen...my mom said 'oh they wont get far in your car, you never have gas' I started crying and said I just filled it up! LOL

2nd time(and last) I filled up tank on another car...it had engine fire and was totalled.

I never heard of hitting roof....you mean the ceiling of your car? or do you put your hand out window and bang on top?

I always sneeze twice. I think it is physically impossible for me to just sneeze once.

I also can't bring myself to eat anything that has passed its' expiration date. If bread lasts one day longer than the date on the tag, I feed it to the birds. However, DH will give me the odd yogurt a day or two old and as long as I eat it unaware then it doesn't bother me once it's in my system.

I really am a freak...

Serenity, I'm really uneasy about eating things past their date. Bread, I'm not so bad, but milk, even sometimes it's good, I just can't do it.

Heeheehee, Vee. I was hoping you'd come back in here and spar! I deserved that! But you are still weird, Veezie!! Heh.

This is a weird something I always did when my kids were little--and up to their late teens. It always made them scream--and that always made me laugh.

I will fumble a bit describing it, but you will catch on, I'm sure.

I'd point my pointer finger in these positions (kinda like having it perform a 'dance'):
1. Vertical
2. Bent down, with tip touching top inside of palm at base of pointer fingers.
3. Horizontal
4. Repeat #2
5. Repeat #1

Do that over and over as fast as you can. (I can't recall what that came from . . . )

Anyway, I would hold the steering wheel with my left hand and do that 'finger dance' (surreptitiously) with my right hand, which lay inconspicuously on the middle of the the emergency brake thingee--located on a built up thing between the two seats of my front seat.

But my kids always spotted me doing it and would start screaming. So I'd stop. And then, when they weren't paying attention would start it again.

We had weird reasons for laughing, I guess.
