Umm, this is scaring me, but I can't think of any weird quirks I have regarding neatness because I'm not a neat person at all. @_@. Well, when I get online, there are always a certain amount of sites I go to in a certain order and I hate my clothes hanging up in a closet unless they're dress clothes. Dressers all the way!

I couldn't live with a sub that's a neat freak. There's a method to the chaos on my desk, I swear.

OK, I'm had here I know. I told ShiftedJewel I couldn't post to this because I didn't have any of these...wow, what a look I got.

OK, so yes when you are restoring a 105 year old house maybe insisting on using a level and square is fruitless, but at least I know how far from plumb I had to move it to make it look right..lol.

An no I don't eat Oreos by eating the icing first, that's wierd..I always twist them apart and eat the halves seperate so I think I just go two cookies, doesn't everyone do that?

I just about can't eat salad unless it's got cottage cheese on it..what's dressing for anyway?

Yes my socks need to match PERFECTLY, I don't care if they are not visible in boots.

No, I can't just stop when the gas pump shuts off, I have to go to the next round dollar even if using a debit card (this drives me nuts with the bike, I can't ever get it to work).

Yes my desk looks a mess, at work and home, but seriously, it's organized piles I tell you.

Ink pens with no lids, don't that drive everyone crazy?

And what's with the 1/4 cup of milk left in the jug, drink it, throw it out, do something with it.

OK..so maybe she was right, ha ha...I do like to mix up her ice cube trays though (weg)..lol.

Ok, so I forgot about my thing for ink pens... if there is no cap I will go through all of my pens in my pen drawer (please tell me others have pen drawers?) and if I can't find the cap I just throw the pen away, I can't take it just laying there naked. And I have to get a pen from every place I go, Doctors offices, hotels, trade shows, my sisters house...lol Pens and pencils, I have a drawer for each, as well as markers, I love those fine tip permanent markers, expecially the brightly colored ones. Ok, you may think this is almost practical... I mean, why buy pens and pencils when you don't have too, right?? NO, I still buy them, but only the ones I deem to be "cool" (including one that is nearly a foot long and an inch and a half in diameter, it doesn't fit in the pen drawer btw) and I rarely, if ever use one of them. I have one "special" pen that I use all the time and if someone takes it off my desk I go nuts trying to find it. If I find it on someone else's desk I tell them that is my "I'm so special pen" and to never take it off my desk again. I'm a pen expert, I have to squiggle a line with each pen to see how it writes and I only keep the ones that write "smoothly".

And I never answer the phone on the first ring... ever.

Wow, this has been like a catharsis, I feel so much better!!

Okay... I admit... I have a lucky pencil. Its a mechanical pencil I've had since high school (20+ years now). I take it with me when I travel, I always know where it is. Its a bit worn, its definitely been used a LOT, and its not as nice as the expensive Waterman mechanical pencils I've been given. So I'm sentimental

I also have a gargoyle that lives on my desk. His name is Oscar, he's about 3" tall and made of stone (as all good gargoyles are). He's a great listener but not much of a conversationalist. He watches over me when I work, write, etc. He's also patiently posed for several still life drawings (he's the epitome of still life) and that blind contour practice drawing that really didn't flatter him... he never complained. What more could you ask for in a gargoyle I tell ye.

And here is the worst one yet... I eat ice... constantly

This one might actually be medical believe it or not. There have been two times in my life where I have just craved ice. It was during both of my pregnancies. I used to go through about 10 lbs of ice a day. I thought it was just a part of pregnancy. My doctor though, told me that people who crave ice are generally iron deficient. By gosh he was right. My iron counts were low during both of my pregnancies and the moment that they came back to normal....ice craving gone. As a matter of fact, now I can't even stand to have ice in a glass of soda.

(pssssst ScooterTrash......I would have to think that a refrigerator with an automatic ice dispenser would be a very appreciated gift)

Going over everyones lists I tried coming up with some of my own oddities. Maybe it's too early or I just need more coffee but I only came up with two that stick out. Ice cream and cake can NEVER be on the same plate. If the ice cream starts to melt and cake crumbs are floating in it.....ewww....it just looks like ants have invaded a picnic to me.

The other oddity that I have is that my feet can never be covered by the blankets. If the blankets get put over my feet I feel as though I am suffocating. Even if someone gently lays the blankets over them while I sleep....it will wake me up frantically kicking them off.

I forgot about this one, I have the same thing. I also can't wear socks unless I am right at that moment wearing shoes (which happens very rarely). My feet have to be free to breathe

I've heard that too, but no, I'm not. In fact, the times when my iron was at the lowest I couldn't stand ice.... And no way in hell could I be pregnant... Thank you babe for seeing to that.

I think we are among the few that breath through our feet mistoferin! As well as regulate body temp. If my feet are hot I can stand it!

And this is one I'm sure I share with hundreds of others.... my socks (no I don't share my socks, that's the point) if someone even tries on a pair of my socks, even my own kids, I give that pair to them cuz I know I'll never be able to put them on again.

And no one can buy me socks... well, Scooter is learning and my daughter is pretty good at it... but most socks "hurt" my feet to walk in them. It's like I can feel the knit or something, I don't know.

going back over all of this I'm wondering now if I need therapy?

Yes, stockings are really bad because they also squeeze my toes. It doesn't matter if there there isn't any visible squeezing I still feel it

Grins playfully You're all weird. I am kind of too. My quirks are considered age inapropriate like sucking thumb or twirling hair. I HAVE to twirl this one strand of hair, it's been THE strand since I was a lil kid. I always suck the left thumb and only the left, except for the one time my mom tricked me by saying lets paint your nails and it was some nasty stuff. Which I sucked anyway lol.

It's not obsessive but I like my book shelf books put in a row fat books to fat books tall to tall the last bottom shelf goes tall an skinny to tallish an fat to normal fat size books:D

IDEALLY I'd like it to be clean and orderly however almost everything loose finds it's way onto another surface, so I do have clutter on it like my furbie an my old camera an stuff lol.

I have to say that I feel relatively OCD free right now

I do hang most of my shirts (no dresser space) and they have to be facing the same way, but since it isn't the same way for every closet that I've ever used, I don't know that it's anything but an easy way to figure out which black t-shirt I'm grabbing without having to take the hanger off the bar and flip the damn thing around.

When I fold clothes, I fold them the way that I was required to when I worked in a clothing store - I worked there for just over a year and it just became habit ... the fact that they stack better and don't wrinkle as bad doesn't hurt either.

What I am OCD about is my books - they are arranged alphabetically by author, and within each author, they are either arranged in chronological order of being written/released, or if it's a series, they are arranged in chronological order of the world they are about (for anyone who knows the Valdemar books by Mercedes Lackey - that shelf starts with "The Black Gryphon" and ends with whichever of the "owl" books was last in that trilogy). My books are not to be taken into the bathroom and left there for the next visit (which our boy still does on occasion

). My books are to be put in as safe a place as possible when not being read (which can get difficult with a cat that likes to jump up and knock things down for the dog to play with/eat). My books are to be treated as carefully as I would treat a child - no folded corners to mark your place, no bent or torn cover, absolutely no writing (unless it's a text book), etc.

I am not quite as bad as that with my cd's - but they are (or were - I've forced myself to let go of this one for the most part) in alphabetical order by artist (or title if it was a movie soundtrack or compilation cd like my "Pure Moods") and order of release if by the same artist. but as I said, I've let go of that one a little bit ... mostly because I've gotten rid of some cd's and aquired a lot of the boy's.

I don't have too many that I can think of about food, but there are certain things that cannot mix - applesauce and mashed potatoes must be kept separate; actually, mashed potatoes must be kept separate from everything but corn and cottage cheese (don't ask, it's a family thing and I've been called crazy for it multiple times in the past ... I don't need it pointed out again LOL). I can drink and eat after other people, but only if they don't leave foreign objects in the food/drink - any time I see a floaty in my glass, the whole glass must be dumped and I have to get a clean one ... I can't even drink out of it after I've dumped it unless I wash it.

Holly has a thing about her socks, but since she's had a neuroma in her foot that has had to be removed 3 times, I think it's pretty understandable.

Other than that, I can't think of anything that doesn't involve an allergy of some sort.

I cannot and will not eat 'ends'.

All foods have 'ends'.

A sausage has a beginning (on the left) and an end. I will discard it.

Sandwiches - the end is the last piece I am holding. Discarded.

Burgers - again, what I hold is the end.

Fries... have ends, but chips do not. If I can put it all in my mouth at once, it doesn't have an end.

Peace and Love

SweetD I am very protective of my books too. I barely even open it up to minimize breakage to the spine. Even with my manuals like for the pc I hate when people bend it in half. It messes it up and now not only that it does not lay flat in anything you put it in. My mom ruins all her books opening them up like a tent an laying them down. She's ruined a boook in one week doing that, the spine was so broke you could fold the book in half backwards the cover was torn off. I won't let her borrow any of my books.

I'm very protective of my books as well... won't loan them out except to friends I know very well... an even then I ask for collateral.

There's a method to some of my organizational madness. Without my glasses of contact lenses I'm virtually blind. So being able to find clothes, matching socks, tapes, CDs, etc without need to see is as much a necessity as a convenience. Same thing in the bathroom, my tooth brush, tooth paste, contact fluid, etc are all neatly arranged and always in the same spot so that in the morning I don't accidently put tooth paste in my eye while putting my contacts in. That may sound funny, ever actually had tooth paste in your eye? Hurts like hell, take my word for it.

I'm a pen expert, I have to squiggle a line with each pen to see how it writes and I only keep the ones that write "smoothly".

*laughs* I used to have a PEN BOX.. but I didn't really sort them.. I just collected them in a pack rat kind of way. I don't do that anymore though. With hubby a pen doesn't stay in the house long, and I can never keep them long enough to collect them. (which irritates me, but since he's not quirk friendly I've had to start picking my battles).

I do however have my special pen. Which hubby learned REAL early not to touch or remove any pens from my desk (as I keep my most important pens there for safety). If my special pen is lost, I will not rest until it is found. IT must be found, not purchase a new one. It writes like a dream, and fits my hand perfectly as all special pens should.

Oh and things have to be in their spot.. flashlights, scissors, hammers, bandaids.. anything that you would need in a hurry or accident situation.. must be readily found in THEIR spot. If they are not put back, I will have a fit and will be inconsolable for hours/days depending on the severity of the situation in which I needed it.

Shoes... No one can wear my shoes unless I totally give them the pair and then it is their shoes and they can do what they want. No one can even TRY on my shoes or I will have to apologize to the shoe and inspect it and most likely throw it out. I have narrow feet by heredity. Most other people don't, or have wide feet and stretch out my shoes. Not to mention feet are icky. Walking around touching floors, getting sweaty smelly in shoes, possibly having fungus and what not.. ICK ICK ICK.. My socks are also special.. usually thicker than normal socks so my feet will fit better in tennis shoes etc. So no one is allowed to borrow them. If by chance they do, I don't want them back.. EVER.

I don't loan out clothes, without expressly going through that persons responsibility to return the item, take extra special care of the item.. etc. Clothes have only been loaned to very very good friends who understand the risk they are undertaking by borrowing the clothing. Also, that clothing must be returned to me unlaundered as I am picky about what constitutes clean (also so I can inspect for stains so they don't get set in). If by chance the friend decides to launder it on their own. I will be upset, and wash it again anyway. (underwear/bras are never loaned. thats just gross)

Oh and no "borrowing" my deoderant.. ICK.. or lipstick.. or lipgloss.. and no gum swapping.. even if we're kissing.. EWW

And then their are things like nibbling ears.. ick.. lobes only and its only tolerable if the ear is clean.. but if it even remotely tastes of ear wax, I have to stop and try not to puke. No one is allowed to nibble my ear except maybe the lobe, anything more will have me fighting regurgitation.

And as I "eluded" to earlier.. I hate feet. Some feet will make me sick just looking at them. I've grown to be able to massage some peoples feet (if the foot is clean and non-revolting), but no nibbling or licking or eww just thinking on it. And if someone wants to massage my feet.. I've come to be ok with that.. but if they lick or nibble.. I get sick to my stomach.

Ugh.. I'm going to have to stop reading this thread. *laughs* My list keeps getting BIGGER and BIGGER.

OMG, don't you just hate ugly feet???? Sorry, not trying to give anyone a complex here. But I have dated men, had a wonderful time until they took off their shoes and socks! It's something that I just can't get past... and paaaahleeeease do NOT ask me to touch someone elses feet, eeeeeeeewwwwwww... no way. I can't even touch what I would call "pretty feet" if they aren't attached to MY ankles.

And I don't blame you, I don't see how anyone can stick their tongue in someones ear.... yuck!!!

OK, maybe I'm beyond therapy....

Yes I live with my parents, every one get over the shock.

Waxy dirty ears are gross to me too. I am always waxing my mates ears because tons of wax is gross. Plus I amk ind of fasinated with grooming him lol. I also trim his nails to my satisfaction because any of them that are sharp are going to scrape me when he scratches my skin

I also do this and have gotten the nickname "crocodile bird" because of it (you know, the little birds that pick things off of crocodiles?).

And about feet. I am in love with my feet, I give myself pedicures at least weekly, apply lotion at least twice a day and work hard to keep my feet beautiful and soft.
