Does anyone have funny quirks about themselves like:

[Cara]

I eat in a certain order LOL If it's fast food I always eat my fries/onion rings first.

I can't stand creased paper. I can't start writing something on a piece of paper that isn't completely flat, and I hate mistakes. I have to start again even if it's just a shopping list.

I'm afraid of the dark. I outgrew it as a child, but then our house was burglarized when I was 12

After that I couldn't go upstairs alone, couldn't stay in the house overnight by myself, and couldn't even be in a hotel room alone. I'd have a panic attack. I was somewhat fearful when I moved out, I didn't like returning home not knowing if someone was in my house. Having dogs helped. Thankfully i'm not at all afraid living where we do now. We are so far from anywhere that nobody would ever find our house. It's so remote we don't even own a key. I get a little paranoid about personal safety when in town, but I wouldn't say i'm OCD. That jackass that broke into our house gave me good reason to be afraid.

There has to be something about us... think! I was raised in a barn. I am immune to a LOT!

AH! The remotes! I want them by the TV! not hidden under a cushion, or on the back of a chair, or on a table.
I just had to think back to the last time I yelled.
Come on Kooshie! You can do it!

Got it! I role play that I'm a spaceship! I think that counts as a bit odd!

OOH! My husband is that way too!

Once when I was working the 2 am shift, he found it necessary to go on and on about it when I was trying to get to sleep the previous evening. I had left *gasp* one cupboard open as I was making dinner.

So when I got up, I opened every danged cupboard in the kitchen, bathroom, hall and went to work.

He has toned down since.

A little revengeful, are we? Sounds like me, I would do the same thing, but then I'd go back and change it so he wouldn't know. Just to do it would make me feel better

Same here. It feels weird for my cell phone to be in the left pocket because it's always in the right one.

I can't write left handed no matter how hard I try. If I do, it looks more like scribbles. My brain just can't go from right handed to left handed I guess.

I cannot stand messy hair. If I put my hair in a ponytail, it has to be almost perfect (not really tight and perfectly centered...but more loose; I like it when it's loose), but if there's a big bump, that is not allowed!

It will annoy me and I have to redo it over again until there are no bumps/loose strands of hair.

When handwriting, if I mess up a letter, I MUST fix it!!!! If the "a" looks more like an "o" and if it's crooked, I have to fix it!

And don't get me started about grammar; I hate hate HATE it when someone messes up obvious grammar/spelling (no offense to those who do!

) When I type, there are literally none, or close to, no grammar or spelling mistakes.

If there are after I print something, I can't scribble over it with pencil or whiteout. It has to look neat. I have to go back and retype the mistake and then reprint.

Just to name a few....

Can you find what I changed?
Another grammar and spelling nut.

Actually, make that spelling champ. I won the spelling contest in my school when I was in 5th grade. (Over the 4th and 6th grades).

I'm very glad to see I'm not the only adult who still thinks something might grab her feet if they hang over the bed.

When I was little, my legs would jump in my sleep. I would think that there was a monster at the end of my bed pulling on them and would lay really still hoping that he would go away. My arms can't hang over the sides either.

Toilet seat MUST be down!!! It's there for a reason
Toilet paper goes OVER
Put things back where you found them!!! I bought my own tools, and hid them from my DH. He NEVER puts things back where he found them.
Close the doors the whole way
Many more----------

Whoever started this thread? It's a riot!!!
