Spitfire, I hate flip flops and couldn't stand it if I couldn't pad around the house only in socks. I LOVE cotton-only socks.

And cotton-only pjs. I prefer 2-pc pjs with pants--not nightgowns.

I used to love turtlenecks and lived in them, but I feel the same way about them now.

I don't clean anybody's anything, thank you very much--except I always find something to dust at my mom's house. (I think it's her dimming vision that makes her miss the dust, as she keeps the house like a model home otherwise.)

I separate silverware in dishwasher too; just makes it easier to put away later.

I cannot begin to cook anything unless my kitchen is clean first.

Uh, where DID I put that muzzle for Kearie?

i can't stand shoes period. i go barefoot as soon as i can. only wear shoes out in public.

i refuse to go out of town with a dirty house or laundry waiting for me. i even make sure the bed has clean sheets waiting for me when i come back.

when i was younger, i used to iron my money. actually, i used to iron everything. sheets, clothes, towels.

my bedroom growing up was alphabetical in a clockwise fashion. bed, closet, dresser, nighttable

inside the closet everything was alphabetical. blouses, coats, dresses, jackets, shorts, skirts, pants.

games were stacked aphabetically.

then i got a husband and a child who are of the drop it and go variety. inside i'm slowly having a mental breakdown about all of this.

No iron here, either.. and I grew up learning to iron from my mom, who did sheets, pillowcases, handkerchiefs, boxer shorts and did an amazing job on my dad's white shirts.

I was actually good at ironing, what irony now.

when my cat was a kitten i had to do my tp under because when he would unroll it, it wouldn't unroll--it would just spin and have little shred marks in it. now, he's either older or i 'learned him' cause i can put it over and he won't go for it.

no, the q-tips are not for crisp ones high up LOL. they are for the lower inside parts of your nostril where you might not see something yourself, but someone from the side might! it's just to make sure!

I started it; I admit. But, you guys, far TMI about nostril-cleaning today!!!

I have an iron that Ed uses! (He's not only pickier than I am, but much better at it, too.) All work clothes are dry-cleaned though. I do not do shirts and pants. Uh uh. Taught that to Ed early on.

ETA: Kaykay, you do know now that you will get NO sympathy about Mr. Smelly Onions anymore, right?! Sardines! Yuk. Ketchup on mac and cheese? What in the world, Kaykay and Metoo!!?

I must butter my toast right after it pops up from the toaster..I hate it when butter/margerine is not melted.

My dishwasher must be filled a certain way...I am the queen of being able to fit the extra set of dishes in that no one else can find room for

I have my shirts, pants grouped together in my closet and have the shirts etc., all sorted according to colour.

My downstairs closet, I have the kids coats/sweaters sorted from oldest to youngest. I do their shoes the same. More for organization, but still weird.

I don't q-tip dry ears..have to be just out of the shower to do it. I don't q-tip my nose rotfl

I use to be anal about the toilet paper roll, now I just grab it put it on and see what way it turns out when it snaps in.

The paper towel roll in the kitchen must roll over top

I have to have blankets (for weight) on me when I sleep..so I feel tucked in.

I don't like people so close to me "stealing my air either"

I fold laundry a certain way, clothes and I hate when others want to fold laundry for me...I will redo it later...now only if I could get them to iron.

I am weird how I hang the clothes on the clothes line, certain things have to be together.

Ok...when I first came to this thread I didn't think I did very much weird..now look at me, I have a list and I will probably think of more as soon as I post. lol

i always worked standing up. i told one boss not to even order me a chair when he was putting his dental practice together. i file, answer the phones, schedule, do insurance forms standing up. when i did have to have a chair, i either stuck it under a counter or used it to shoot across the room to the files or back to the desk, etc.
i always have to drive if dh is with us. his driving scares me so much i have to watch the road more closely when he is driving than i do when i am driving! he likes to sight-see a lot and he also doesn't read signs. there will be 3 signs telling you your lane ends and to merge right and he will wait til the last second when we are actually in a lane with someone and then say, "Jesus Christ! they should warn you when a lane is going to end."

i also have to clean up as i go along. my dh will cook an entire thanksgiving dinner and rinse nothing out after he empties it. there will be dried-on mashed potatoes in the pot, the cuisinart is crusted with whatever, he doesn't soak the roasting pan, etc. drives me wacky! there are enough bloody dishes to do after dinner without having to do all the prep stuff, too.

I agree about the butter thing. It has to be melted or it's just not worth the time.

I'm obsessive about having a clean car. No garbage in it. I'll drink coffee or nibble on stuff in there but any wrapper has to go with me when I get out of the car. I cringe when I look in other cars and see piles of McDonalds bags in the back seat and who knows what else growing in there.

When I take a shower it's my face, then my hair, the conditioner but I don't rinse that until last then my final few seconds in the shower is cold water.

I have never put a q-tip in my nose, but I pour rubbing alchol on them before cleaning my ears and also I use them with rubbing alcohol in my belly button.

I like my ice cream out of a coffee cup- not a bowl.

I don't pick up pennies, but I've tossed silver change places where I think kids might find it.

Oh, that is such a cool thing to do. I must start doing that :-)

I eat popcorn for lunch everyday

I clean the house from the back bathroom and move to the front of the house.

I agree with the butter thing, better be melted or forget it.

I wont eat cold french fries. And when I have them I like to dip them in Sweet & Sour sauce.

I must mix mashed potatos with peas, or with corn. If either the veggies or the potatoes don't come out 'even' I can't eat the other.

I throw out all of the black jelly beans; I hate licorice.

I cut up all of my meat before starting to eat; it has always seemed a time saver - who wants to have to cut a piece of food before each mouthful.

I cannot eat a banana if it has any brown spots. The skin must be completely yellow.

I have developed a fear of revolving doors; if I cannot find a regular door with a handle, I will not go into a place. I will walk all the way around a bldg to find a normal door.

I cannot fall asleep without something covering me. It does not have to be anything large; just so long as I know something is covering my shoulder to hip, I will fall asleep.

I can't fall asleep in silence. I have to have some noise, like a radio or the TV just set to turn off later on.

I am sure I could think of tons more, if I really thought about it.

No wonder Eeyore does weird stuff! She got the condition from me.

You guys are certifiably wierd!! Thank you for sharing that wierdness and making me laugh.

About the grocery store, I always have to start at the produce otherwise I get all messed up and will forget something even if it is on the list.

About the penny, I have to pick it up but only if it is heads up, otherwise it's bad luck to pick it up<-my rule.

About the tp, never even notice which way it's going but it drives me nuts to see an empty roll on the holder.

I love to vacuum and my family is worried.

I have to rinse my ice off.

I can only drink coffee with chocolate(sugarfree).

I have to sleep with a loud fan to drown out any noise and a pillow over my eyes and in a t-shirt and undies only.

That's enough wierdness for today.

Love all the weirdness! You guys are reminding me of things that I have taken for granted as being normal...but are actually weird!

I too must have a perfectly clean kitchen before I begin to cook a meal.

I too eat mac and cheese with ketchup.

HP - i'm with ya on the nose hairs.

I eat my french fries with mayonnaise, no ketchup here. (It's a Belgian thing!)

I can't sleep in the buff just in case there is an emergency during the night. I always have to have at least undies and a t-shirt on.

I'm sure I have more...this is a fun thread because it shows how truly unique we all are (and frightningly similar at the same time. LOL)
