Parrothead Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Everyone has one. Tell us about it. I have many weird things. The one that comes most to mind currently since I'm doing laundry is that towels have to be folded right-side out. Yes, I know it is a towel. Still the hems have to be together when it is folded.

bcnlvr Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I also dip fries in ice cream. The silverware in the dishwasher has to be arranged in order: big spoons, little spoons, big forks, little forks, knives. That way, I can just grab and put away without sorting.

I really can't stand people in general, but I always like to be part of a crowd- big noisy loud places excite me, unless people are jerks, then I just feel alone in an endless sea of people.

MissKNG Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I don't eat pizza with any toppings. I always take the cheese off and give it to my girls. Then I pull the soft saucy part off with my fork and eat it. Then I eat what is left of the soft saucy part...which is dry bread. Finally I eat the crust. People think I'm a nut.

I.Dup. Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Where do I begin? I eat many foods the same way every, single time (Lucky Charms and oreos are the first that come to mind) I have lots of weird OCD food things leftover from when I had an eating disorder. I can eat the same thing everyday for months and months and be fine with it. I have OCD things with hygiene.

West Coast Mom Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 When I'm making toast or sandwiches, I always take the bread from the middle of the loaf. Somehow, it's "fresher" than the first couple of pieces. If there is just a little milk left in the jug and I have to open a new gallon to fill the glass, I'll give the "mixed glass" to DH or the kids. I'll drink a glass out of the already opened container or the new one, but I just can't drink the mixed. Total freak! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I agree -with you about the towels -- but, that's just common sense and good housekeeping -- not weirdness. I cannot do ANYTHING unless my house is clean and in perfect order --THAT is my weirdness. Also, I don't know if this is weird or not: I HATE calling people on the phone -- I never want to bother anyone. I LOVE my new hair/nail salon b/c I can make appts online. I am fiercely competitive -- fiercely But I don't want recognition. I want to savor success quietly and just let it roll around in my head. THAT's weird.

edeemarie Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I guess my weird thing is that I have to sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door.
