anybody have any strange habits?

[AMISLANDER]

I'll give this one some thought...

...I had to read the posts first and then go about my day here to tell ya all what's weird about me.

But the one thing that does come to mind is when my Xhusband and I built our home back in 1994/95, after it was complete, I used to have to check the stove three times at least before leaving the house. In fact, I was afraid to leave the house at all, lest something would happen. Mind you, this was a 4,200 square foot house on Tampa Bay, my first home ever and I had been at the job for 8 months everyday during the building process...the house was on 45 pilings that went 35 feet down into the coral rock of the damn island...I think we were afraid to breathe in the house as well....it's like the damn thing controlled us....I was just thinking of something else but alas, that short term memory snap has just occured....

Oh, I guess if my daily morning routine gets changed I get stressed...I think everything stresses me now.

Y'all are too funny! I can't sleep with my feet hanging out either and my husband has to untuck the covers on his side so his feet CAN hang out! I'm afraid someone will chop my feet and legs off--not really, of course! I also like to sleep in a very cool house with a bunch of covers and my husband can't stand to have heavy covers on him! Believe it or not we've managed to sleep in the same bed most of the time for 18+ years!

I'm much more laid back about my house than I used to be. I was fighting a losing battle with my husband, two teenagers, and ancient dog. I figure I'll have plenty of time to clean it up when the kids move out and the dog goes to doggie heaven.

More little quirks of mine (pet peeves) among the things I hate the most:

People who rush around all the time and accomplish nothing and think I ought to rush too!
Gossip - any kind - HATE IT.
People who brag all the time about what they have.....
People who wear too, too much cologne. They STINK....
Rude, obnoxious people.
People who do not "practice what they preach"!

One of my quirks is that I can't stand my floors being dirty! There can be dust on the furniture, but I hate dirty floors!

And I REALLY can't stand for anyone to walk behind me--EVER!! I worked for years on an admissions unit in a psychiatric facility and I just learned to be careful.

OM goodness! I have the same quirk about my floors My children say that I am psyco about the floors and I need professional help! oh, and I HATE dusting

This may be way to strange but here it goes:
I have a thing with even numbers or maybe it's uneven numbers For example: I can't leave the radio volume in my car on an uneven number, it has to be at 2,4,6,8, etc...well you get it. When I'm eating say like M&M's or popcorn, etc....I can't put just 1or 3 in my mouth at the same time...has to be 2 or 4, etc. I DON'T KNOW WHY I DO THIS! I was riding with my oldest daughter 1 day last year and I confided in her & told her about it and she admitted that sometimes she does the same thing I don't do it for everything all the time, but I catch myself doing it alot...it's like a bad omen to do anything in uneven numbers...how strange is thats??

To be honest, I do the same thing with my A/V receiver (for TV volume), it must be set on a number ending in 0 or 5, e.g. 10, 15, 20, 25 etc. However, I think some of that has to do with the fact that you don't get much change in volume until you move the dial up or down by 5.

I never realized it until I read that but I do leave the volume only on even numbers. 20, 22, 36, those are the numbers. odd. sidewalks, i try to land my toes on the seam about every third stride.

I hate hair being on the soap bar, or anywhere in a hotel room when I check in.

If I find hair ANYWHERE that doesn't belong to me, I immediately demand a new room. That totally grosses me out!

I do this too. I also try not to step on any cracks while I am walking up to the store door. I think this may be because my kids always say to not step on the cracks because they are "hot lava". lol

When I make my bed in the morning I have to put all the fluffy decorative pillows on it and it drives my husband nuts, especially when we have no plans to have people over. He would leave the bed unmade if it were up to him. His thoughts are why make something we are going to mess up in 16 hours. *sighs* He just doesn't understand. Just like he doesn't understand that nice decorative towels in the bathroom are NOT for drying off your hands.
