Stole from another board,who stole from yet another ;o)Do you have any cute or funny quirks? What about the rest of your family?

I'll start...When I do dishes,they have to be done in a certain order.Food cannot touch other foods on my plate.Coffee from home must be black,anywhere else with cream and sugar.Socks go on before pants.

DH...His ham and cheese sandwich has to be made in a certain order.He bites his fingernails,wont use a nail clipper.He blows his nose after every meal(eewww).

DS1...Won't eat the ends of bread.Has to have his back scratched a cerain way and for a certain length of time.

DS2...Has to have all snaps and zippers snapped and zipped up.Won't wear shoes or sandals in the sand,must be barefoot.

well going through all these, what a bunch of freaks..lol..just kidding

anyhow i couldn't think of any til i got to furry's post here's mine

~can't stand lights,tv,radio on when noone's in the room/using it...such a waste

mostly i have no room in my house so i try to be 'organized'..lol..but some may think these as quirks:

~dd and i both have double closets mine's arranged by tee-shirts/sleeveless shirts on one side by color, sweaters/ls shirts by color other side and my dress up clothes are in the corner of them caus i rarely rare them..LOL..jeans are on shelf above the closet sorted by size.dd's closet i arranged by dresses + summer outfits on one side by color,other side is her ls/sweaters and jeans/pants

~socks are stored together and sticking up so i can choose what kind i want by looking

~sleep shirts/pants are stored sideways/sticking up so i can see them by looking instead of looking through pile

~i like food to be organized and together, ex. canned veg. so i can see the labels,soups together

~storage containers put together or have the lids underneath/above the containers

I love when dogs do that! they nibble and clean their toes and I bet it DOES tickle - it's hilarios to watch, especially such a serious-looking dog like a Dobie!

Too cute!

I hate clowns, TOO!! They are evil and sinister looking. Seeing Poltergeist did not help any...Loved reading about your quirks...some of the besy psychiatrists and counselors have VERY interesting backrounds them selves. My favorite psychiatrist I ever saw was Dr. Wheaton Wood. When he came out and called my name, I looked at him and thought "Oh HELL no...he has got to be a patient. He CAN'T be the Dr."

Well, he was - squirrelly black Einstein hair, dry-cleaning tag hanging from his suit and all....We had a very insightful, productive patient-Dr relationship. he was so intrigued by my Rorschach test results he wanted to test me further (no thank you! I'd rather not know!)

I now rely on Effexor and a Magic 8-Ball.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WASHES DISHES IN THE KITCHEN SINK?!?!? Oh my GAWD!!!!!

Okay, my mom puts chicken bones/scraps in a bag in the freezer if she isn't going to the dump for the next couple of days. We have to take trash tp the dump and can't put it outside in cans 'cause of the bears, not to mention the TyrannosaurusCoon that lives under the house. He is HUMONGOID.

As I read all these quirks, I realize how funny we all are, and seem to be the same, but different at the same time.

People are weird in general, but it's normal at the same time.

I microwave the dish sponge every day for a minute to kill germs and it is FORBIDDEN to wipe the counters with it. Paper towels and Clorox Clean-Up must be used.

If Kyle has a zit on his shoulder or back, I harangue,hound,and HARRASS him until he let's me get rid of it. even if he says no, I

I'll wait till he falls asleep om his face and EVER SO SLOWLY slide my hand under his shirt and search for it. Until he jumps up and screeches at me.

We have a freezer in the garage that's hardly ever used. We only really use the fridge part of it. So he puts the garbage out there. Before we had a garage or garbage cans, it was a problem putting garbage outside because the animals would get to it. It's in a separate bag so it doesn't touch anything else. But I can see why you would think it's gross.

I looooooooove to peel sunburned skin. You can look at it closely and see the holes where the hair was...it's neat.

I have a HIGH tolerance for gross - I am an EMT, and when you've piled someones guts back on them, or assisted in childbirth, or have seen brains, or vomited blood clots as big as my head, a zit doesn't bother you too much.

What DOES skeeve me out, is stitches. I can't look at then w/o having that funny stomach-flip thing happen. Especially the black silk ones. Puke, poop, bleed on me, but DON'T let me see stitched skin. I was speaking with one of the officers I work with in the Dr's office and he had his daughter, 10 months there. She projectile vomited on me. I have dubbed her Princess Puke.
