Does anyone have funny quirks about themselves like:

LOL My kids would love you, I demand them to be in the sink with the rim down and they seem to insist upon putting them beside the sink.

It's tricky trying to think of your own quirks, as they seem normal to you and by now to those in your household... but let's see...

Well, if I sleep with socks on I overheat and can't sleep... No matter if jammies are flannel or silk, if the socks are there I bake. But ironically if I wear shorts rather than pants (or no pants at all) then I also overheat, which makes absolutely no sense. You would think less clothing would mean less overheating, but that is not so. That's pretty darn weird. Also on the sleeping note, if I lay on my back I have to have a pillow on my head... only covering my eyes (rather like a blindfold really) and then I flop an arm over it to hold in in place. Odd mainly because I don't need anything for "lightblocking" if I'm sleeping on either side.

Hmm... what else... AHH, drives people nuts that none of our clocks are 'right'... except for the computers and caller ID which are automatically set all our clocks are at least 10 minutes fast... some are as much as 2 hours and 27 minutes fast... we of course know this, but when you first wake up you have that instant of "OMG I Overslept!" panic that gets the blood moving. *shrug* most people think that's a bit insane, but they certainly don't complain that we're never late either.

We have these gross rags at work called "microfiber" rags that are suppose to pick up dust better. Well I will never know because I can't touch them without wanting to puke. Seriously! I feel sick to my stomach just touching them. SO I can't fold them at work when I do the laundry here. They call me strange

That's not a strange quirk!
Microfiber rags are gross they cling to your skin like bologna.

I'm with you on this one.

Oh gawd, yes. One of my poor dogs (and I've had many dogs and cats over the years) learned to stop dead in mid-lick, with his tongue still hanging out, if I shrieked "Stop that!" at him. All the others finish the lick and then get up and move away. Usually.

My other quirks:
I tap the tops of soda cans 3 times before I pop the top open.
Toilet paper MUST be under. (Too many cats have made TP sculptures by unrolling 'em.)
Ever since the Loma Prieta Earthquake, I CANNOT stop in traffic under overpasses. I will inch my car forward, around cars ahead of mine, until the passenger compartment of my car is out from underneath the overpass.
I never take my earrings off, except for the times I had to during surgery or CAT scans or MRIs. I have 2 pierces in one ear, and 3 in the other - I don't remove the studs OR the pair of dangly earrings. Yup, I sleep, shower, etc. in 'em.
(I also don't remove my rings, but that's because they won't come off any more. They got tape over during surgery for that reason.)
I will not pass gas around other people. I'll blow up before I do that. Sometimes I go on a smoke break just to get away from people, so I can relieve the intestinal pressure at the same time.
Don't move anything on my desk - I know exactly where everything is, and how far down deep into which pile I've "filed" something. You move something, I'll lose the "map in my mind" of where I've put everything.
I'm sure there are more......

None of my quirks have anything to do with neatness or cleanliness. And my house shows it! Hey, the dogs/cats/chickens/ducks don't mind.

I am so completely NOT OCD. I have OCD friends, and they'll be like, "Did you know that your bookshelf looks like it's gonna explode?" I'll look at it...and say, "Huh? Really? Weird..."
There must be no light and no sound (I'm synesthetic, so seeing/hearing anything, especially words, can be super distracting) before I can fall asleep. Afterwords, though, I'm out!
YOU DO NOT touch my instrument cases, especially my clarinet. Ditto my Taekwon-do uniform, especially my belt.
Don't touch anything on my desk, it makes me paranoid.
I am the only one who can feed my animals. I'm sorry, that's just how it works- this stems from the time I had the neighbor kid feed, and she gave all my animals straw instead of hay for a week.

My fingernails must be cut to the point of bleeding- I can't stand having dirt underneath!
Other than that, I think I'm pretty normal....
