Quirks/weird habits

What is one of your weird habits/quirks?   You know, like you have to touch the light switch 3 times before you turn on the light.  

Re: Quirks/weird habits

  • I have to make the bed before I sleep in it.  When I come home from work, if DH hasn't made the bed, it's the first thing I do.  I can not go to bed in a messy bed.

    It bothers me when I go to zumba and the other people in the class do not make "lines" and just stand all willy nilly.   I wish she had lines painted on the floor so that everyone was uniform.  

  • Ooooh, lines are one for me (like your Zumba example). I also get irritated when there's a clear line at the bus stop and people a) push forward or b) just skip to the front.

    TP has to go over when being replace, not under.

    There are others, I'm just not remembering:P

  • Toilet paper HAS to go over, under is just plain wrong.  Wrong, I tell you! (I may or or may not change it when I'm at my IL's house because they always put it under Embarrassed)

    I'm sure I have many more, I need to think.........

    ME TOO! It's my huge Zumba pet peeve. I swear some people have no concept of personal space. Yes if class is crowded I expect it to be a little crazy with spacing. But when there is plenty of space stand in lines and give people personal space. I swear I'm a magnet for crazy people. I always seem to have someone stand 6 inches from me when there is plenty of room.

  • It drives me nuts when DH puts things in the fridge wherever they fit.  There is a SYSTEM.  Things need to go in the same place every time so I can find it quickly and don't have to stand there with the fridge door open looking for crap.  I do not think this is a weird quirk - he's just wrong.

    I completely agree with this, but for me it's the cabinet with all the tupperware. If you don't put things away just right - it gets chaotic, things don't fit, etc. I have threatened (and considered strongly) putting up labels in the cabinets to direct him:P

    All the money in my wallet has to be face up, right side up, in numerical order, ones in the front, 20s in the back

  • I cannot count money unless it is all facing the same direction.

    Used to drive salesmen crazy because I would put it all the same way before I counted it, which sucks when someone brings in $10,000 in cash that I have to count in front of them!

    Apparently we were separated at birth on this matter.

    You had people pay for cars with $10,000 cash? I can't imagine that. Isn't that what checks are for? I'd be scared to death of losing the cash somewhere prior ot turning it over to the salesperson.

    im like this too like when he puts all the jam and jelly on the bottom shelf if the fridge door and there is a huge bottle of ketchup laying sideways on the top. And eggs have their special area on a certain shelf the don't just get put in wherever. And I hate finding measuring cups and spoons in the silverware drawer. They go in the utility on with the rolling pins funnels pizza cutter ice cream scoop etc.... 

     

    I like my tp over as we'll. it always tears apart too soon when under.  And I have the same money order technique. I bet Macy's hated how long it took me to count my drawer at night when I worked for them lol.

    I am like this, too!  In high school, a manager of mine always yelled at me for not having my money the same direction.  I just always thought she was grumpy... until I was a supervisor/manager.

    For me -- If there are two light switches that work the same light (like one in the basement and one at the top of the basement stairs), I always have to have them flipped the appropriate way -- down for off and up for on.  I will fix it if it's not.

    I also tend to do things the same number of times... like shake the formula in the bottle, etc.  It was way worse when I worked at Starbucks and had to shake iced teas, stir things and do other things that involved muscle memory!
