Holdover from the Army.....all my clothes have to hang with the openings facing the left and tops separate from bottoms.
When alone I am either totally silent for extended periods or I talk to myself...silly little snippets.  I think this comes from being an only child and frequently living places where I was the only child so I just entertained myself.
I will sit there with a near bursting bladder during a movie rather than miss 1 second (in a theater....thank the powers for DVD players at home lol)
I have to have a contigency plan for everything.  This has literally saved my (generously sized) ass more than once.
Nothing makes me more furious than someone asking me to answer then talking over me when I try to do so.

Status: offline 		I can only think of a few..

If at a restaurant, it absolutely drives me insane if someone orders the exact same thing. Especially, if they are directly mimicing what I'm buying. OH I HATE IT! It ruins the whole meal. I know I'm crazy. Can't help it.

I feel slightly ill at the sight of white condiments. I can eat them but they must be mixed with something else to change the color. I've been this way since childhood so it's not a cum repulsion as some have suggested. Just weird wiring.

I really get irked with people obsessed with brands, especially when I know for a fact that the item in question is identical internally to the other item.  Like for example most microwaves are identical inside down to the part number. There are only a few real manufactures for these items. But people will pay because this one says "Jenn-Air" or "Kenmore" more than a generico that is the same thing. Same with computers, most appliances, you know your mid range purchase items. There is almost no difference because they are only a few companies that make them anymore, and slap different labels on them.

Oh yeah, I have to have something to drink at all times. Available and ready for consumption.

And I don't know if this applies but ugly feet drive me fucking nuts. Wear shoes people. 

LOL, yeah, I'm nuts.

But I do understand the brand name thing… That's logic.

The Border Collie has blue eyes so since he was a little tyke I sing to him "I'm looking for bluuuue eyes, has anybody seen him?" Then I poke him and say "There he is right there" he knows it's his song.
The other day I had the Belgian pull something for the first time so that earned him his own song. He was almost skipping he was so excited!!!! *smile*

It never fails...whenever I eat from that white box, someone always asks to try some.  I hate that.  Get your own.  I don't like community food.  If I share, or offer to share then that means I like ya and don't think you have cooties.

That has got to be an interesting sight when you're wearing a dress..... kinda brings a new wonderful meaning to "Reach out and touch someone...."

Status: offline 		I don't know about ronco, I've never dealt in Ronco stuff. It mostly applies to the super saturated things that are so common 90 %+ of the households have them. So huge scale production really kicks in the cost savings. Basicly things like refrigerators, microwaves, alot of tools(not all but alot), are  identical internally with just superficially different housing, washing machines, dryers, dishwashers. It's all differences in the housing, superficial not functional differences. Alot of Vacuums that are mass produced have interchangeable parts internally. One will cost 150.00 dollars the other 50.00 dollars. And they are exactly the same with different shells. And even the bell and whistle models that are outrageously priced often have the same electronic components and abilities with a different control panel so you can't access the higher features, but are the same as far as core components for half the cost. You can even change the housing and they match up perfectly. LOL. They are built on the exact same lines.  It's funny.

I guess my point is you aren't really buying quality by buying brand name appliances. You may get a little bell and whistle(sometimes and not usually), but if you look at the motor model number and circuit board model numbers(not the retailers model number but the real manufactures model number it's generally on there to), and pretty much all the model numbers in the device. You'll see 9 out of 10 times, there are generico branded models built from the exact same components. I only know this because we tend to run across alot of varied products from different "manufactures", and it blows your mind once you realize "quality for the most part is an advertising illusion".  

It's funny when you see something selling for less than a replacement part for a high end model and it's the same inside, except the housing is superficially different and the key pad will be arranged differently.

If you shop at sears for example, I'd buy exclusively the lower end non-kenmore stuff. I know 95% of those things are identical inside.

I'm like that with silverware and glassware, and I really like stemware. I also dislike drinking wine out of tumblers instead of wineglasses.
