Quirks
Re: Quirks
I've somehow come to think of the number 343 as an unlucky number for me. It began when I watched the American Chopper show when they built the bike to honor the fallen 343 firefighters that died on 9.11 and they mentioned that number quite a few times. It's completely stupid and makes no sense, I'm well aware of that. But let's say I bought a plane ticket today and it had that number on it or even it just being a part of a bigger number I'd freak out and think 'I'm fuckd, this wont go well' even though I've never seen any 'proof' that it is an unlucky number for me...so .yeah, ok, beat that anyone, it gets no fuckin dumber than this
Re: Quirks
as a dad, and a dude who's getting older... i miss people having manners....
i hate it when people take a bite of food and their teeth scrape the fork... the sound.
people who chew with their mouth open.

Re: Quirks
Seriously, these are great. There must be a king of quirks at the end. So far, it's very close but my mind snaps back to egg washing.
Re: Quirks
I remembered one more...
I can only wash dishes with a sponge that has a scrubby side. I can't use J cloths or any other type of cloth. In situations where there is no other option, I'll use a j cloth but I feel like the dishes aren't really clean.

Re: Quirks
I sleep with socks on almost 100% of the time.
I can't stand music playlists with 13 songs, but 13 doesn't bother me in any other context.

Agreed.
Re: Quirks
I have to wash myself with very rough scruffy rags, I feel like I didn't wash myself thoroughly if I use just those towel rags.
Last quirk or weird habit...I really hate others long hair touch my head. Maybe it's because my head is more sensitive when my hair is short, but I feel icky
P.S. About socks, I can wear them only to get warm (while just wearing light clothes)

Re: Quirks
Since socks were brought up ... I've not worn any socks for at least 20+ years.
I have a real issue with certain types of materials shirts/socks are made of and when they touch my skin I can't relax. I guess the best way to put it would be if there was one constant finger nails down a chalkboard noise going on in the background. When the synthetic material touches my skin, I start to feel like I'm suffocating and I have to rip the shirt or socks off.

Mathew McConaughey?
I wear very few variances in clothing. I wear only black Gap T's and only Levi 527 Jeans.Logos and writing of any sort bothers me. I alternate between black ankle boots and black Nike sneakers, and I ONLY wear black Active socks (you would too if you have ever tried them).

Re: Quirks
I'm impressed that so many of us are sharing our quirks.
I have to say it felt good to unburden myself.

I bet I have more, but I guess it's normal...The Matthew McCoughney reference was so funny
Re: Quirks
I have frequented a band message board, pretty much daily, for the past 14 years and rarely check to see what the band is doing.
I suppose it's weird that I have 5 books laying around that I have started and are in various states of completion. Some books will lay around for years and then I will pick them up and finish them, or I never finish.

KV has got a girlfriend! And it seems like he really likes her... I mean, for more than just the horizontal mambo.
Look at the way he wrote that post! If that's not a man in love, I don't know what is.

Re: Quirks
People making noises while they chew their food. I have a whole list of public bathroom things; While I'm taking a piss the person next to me talking to me. People talking to me or to someone else while they take a shit, people talking on the cell phone while they use the bathroom.
The first thing I listen to ever Friday and I've done this since the cd came out is The Cure's Friday I'm In Love.
Could never wear socks in bed.

Re: Quirks
In the past few months post-Summer, I've found I really like wearing "medical" socks at night which have these tiny little rubber grippers on the bottom. I got hooked on them when I had to make frequent trips to a local medical supply store to buy them for my father-in-law when he was hospitalized locally last year. Prior to this, I *never* wore socks except when I wore shoes which was pretty infrequent except when I had to actually meet a client.SR wrote:Mathew McConaughey?

Re: Quirks
A large percentage of humans are OCD to some degree. I think I've overcome anything I use to do. The washing eggs still has me laughing.
Re: Quirks
i get hung up on little things in movies and it makes me hate them. i wish i was able to enjoy mindless action films but i can't.
i saw part of cowboys vs. aliens today. i already knew that it wasn't going to be my type of movie, but i tried my hardest to enjoy it for what it was, but i wasn't able to because:
1) how could those big, brutish alien creatures with claws build a space craft and pilot a space craft? they didn't even have opposable thumbs.
2) indians helped fight the aliens too. why wasn't it cowboys and indians vs. aliens?

Re: Quirks
I rinse them too, now that I think about it (when I have to cool them off after boiling them) So you're not alonechaos wrote:I rinse off eggs before I crack them.

Re: Quirks
My father, who really had some OCD behavior and neat freakishness about him, washed oranges and grapefruits before peeling them with a knife. When I asked why he did that, he said he didn't want to get any germs or bacteria on his fingers because after peeling he would handle the flesh of the fruits with his fingers which would then go in his mouth.
