fairfarmhand Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I can't stand to sleep uncovered. Even if it is boiling hot, I must at least have a sheet. And I pull it up to my upper lip. Yet, I cannot stand anything close on my throat. Scarves, turtlenecks, choker necklaces, all make me feel like I am strangling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I do not like having short hair, but I cannot stand hair on my face... so I will be an elderly lady wearing a pony tail one day!! I also have to have a sheet on to sleep, even if it's hot... I love top 40 music and dancing around... copying dance moves that I see... and seeing my kids mouths drop open because "mom knows that song???" !!! I nearly ALWAYS HAVE to count stairs... going up or down... even if I've gone up or down countless times, my brain simply counts stairs...

DesertDweller Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I eat the same breakfast and lunch every. single. day. I will do that for at least a year or more. Then one day, I suddenly get tired of it and change to something else for another year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I write notes on my inside wrist. Seriously, I usually think of something before I fall asleep. I keep a papermate flair on my bedside table. I keep paper there too, but I can just reach out for the pen. Then my notes in there in the morning. It's come in very handy this week. I have to sleep covered up too. Even in the stifling heat. I also sleep with two small furry pillow, it's like an adult version of a stuffed animal. I can't stand snuggling with dh while sleeping. We both snore, so that's annoying. So I snuggle with my pillow. Always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrappyhomeschooler Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I'm sorry, that's not weird at all. That's perfectly normal. :D :iagree: Any other way to fold towels is just wrong! :tongue_smilie: I guess I'm like Imp. I think I'm pretty weird all around. It's hard for it to be a secret. One of the weirdest things (and most fun things) I've ever done, was dress up like Dolores Umbridge and go to the midnight release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows at Barnes and Noble. I was probably the oldest person there in a costume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I always sleep on the side furthest from the door so if there is an intruder, they get DH first ha ha. This is my line of thinking too, dh is military but sleeps like the dead, so I figure since he most likely won't hear the intruder coming at least I'll here him struggling and can attempt to get away. Awful I know, but he's come to terms with it and automatically takes the side closest the door no matter where we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 my dh thinks it is so weird that I can't sleep uncovered. When our a/c died this summer, it was like 95 in the house at night. he was laying there wearing nothing but his drawers and I was under the sheet. Both of us were miserably sweating though..

LibraryLover Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) I am a huge fan of liver and onions. Always have been; Mom used to saute the onions to perfection. In olden times, when lunch counters in department stores still exisited, my grandmother & I used to go to one at Woolworth's, where I always ordered the liver and onions. The years I was a vegetarian I often craved liver, and went through a Seitan phase, which totally missed the mark, although I always held out hope. ;) Now I have liver whenever I want. Nobody else in my family cares at all for it, and that is fine with me. Edited June 22, 2012 by LibraryLover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happymomofboys Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I eat M&Ms and skittles one color at a time. I wash in the shower in a specific order and having a kid or husband interrupt my process throws off my whole day. And I posted on FB last night that I was pretty sure I'm the only person I know who was up late reading scanned copies of books on education from the late 1800s/early 1900s for fun. I'm sure there are at least two weirdnesses in that sentence. I'm also thinking weirdnesses isn't a word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassy Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I count every time I start a task. It started off as a motivator (I can load 10 things in the dishwasher), and has now become a habit. I do something like that - whenever I'm scrubbing the chopping board I have to scrub it 10 or 15 times (depending on what I've been chopping) in each of four directions, I feel really irritated if someone asks me something and I lose count. I think counting can be rather comforting. Weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyLady Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I also have this weird "need to be even" thing going on. If someone comes up to me and slaps me on one arm, they better be slapping me on the other! LOL! Otherwise I feel all uneven. Drives me crazy :D OMG!! Me too!!! I was just sitting here trying to figure out how to explain my "weirdness" and then I read this. Too funny! I have another one, though (I'll stick with just one more or else I'd be here all day). :D I'm afraid of backhoes. I get panic stricken if I have to drive by one, especially if it's moving. If that arm starts to swing towards my car as I'm driving by I think it's trying to get me and I drive like a mad woman trying to get past it! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lara in Colo Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I have to have the "perfect" last bite at meals. I want the flavor that lingers in my mouth to be of my favorite item on the plate. When my meal starts to get almost done, I will start testing each item to see if it is the perfect thing. So eventually I will have two bites of everything, then one, then I choose want I want to be last. My stepfather once reached over and grabbed my last bite of steak once and sent me into tears. He just saw that I was finished and left that on the plate, I saw my perfect ending **gone**. Dh knows better than to even ask when I get to the final countdown, he can have all he wants in the beginning, just not at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoriK Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I am new here, but I think I have found my people! LOL My hidden weirdness is that I eat burnt toast with mayonaise. I crave it. I toast it at least two and sometimes three times so that it is really charred and then slather it with Best Foods Mayonaise. It has to be Best Foods too. I grew up in California and my Mom had a Best Foods only kitchen. After I married DH, he was transferred to Maxwell AFB in Alabama. He wanted me to make a potato salad for him to take to a work potluck, so I went to the commissary to buy some mayo. NO BEST FOODS! I was frantic. I asked for the manager and he said he had never heard of it. I told him it kind of looked like the bottle of Hellman's Mayonaise. I sure felt dumb when we read right on the label, "Hellman's is known as Best Foods west of the Rockies." I had to go home and comfort myself with some burnt toast and mayonaise...which let my new husband in on my secret weirdness. He was pretty grossed out by the burnt smell that permeated the house, so ever since I only make it when he has left for the day and I can air things out.

Denisemomof4 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) 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. Yours? I do this. Maybe we get along so well because we are both weird?:D I started to quote most people here but honestly, there were like three posts I couldn't relate to! I hate it when towels aren't folded right side out, then in half, then quarters, the turned and folded into thirds. And if they ARE done right but the tag is sticking out, I will tuck the tag back in. Then I like the folded over side exposed in the cabinet, not all the ends. I have to cover my ear with my hair at night so no bugs crawl into it, and I must be covered by a sheet. If dh was kind enough to make the bed after I have laundered the sheets and I notice a tag on top of a blanket, I will rip the blanket off and turn it over. I also hate said nlanket's top part with the trim to be tucked beneath the bed. And yes, I enjoy my space furthest from the door UNLESS I am in a hotel room with one or both dd"s because then I have to sleep closest to the door with the bathroom light on all night. And when we are in a hotel room, I keep shoes , slippers or sandals by the bed. I hate to step on that carpet and then climb into bed. When dh or the kids do it, it also freaks me out. I often times am afraid that something alive, human, animal or bug, is under my bed and I will jump in. When dh wakes up from this, I pretend to be asleep.:lol: Every stinkin time dh and I go away for the day I worry about the girks should we never return. The silverware needs to be loadad all large forks and spoons in the front, separate containers, small in the back. All steak knives go together, then odds and ends. Each silverware compartment then emptied all at once. I never noticed the weird way I eat certain foods until this thread. I am currently addicted to sunflower seeds, after I shell them I like to stand them straight up in my back teeth then crunch down. I somehow feel like I have "lost" when it falls flat for the crunching. And I prefer to eat them on the right side of my mouth. When I used to eat peanut M& M's I would suck the hard candy coating to a point, pull it out, take the rest iff with my front teeth then crunch with back teeth, suck off the melted chocolate, then crunch down the peanut normally. I have only had oreos a few times and those MUST be separated, insides scraped out, then chocolate wafers eaten, preferable standing up on the bottom teeth as I crunch it down. I wash each individual item in the sink, never use a sink of soapy water. I hate dish towels for cleaning up. I only use sponges. After they have cleaned something once, into the dishwasher it goes for sterilization. Sometimes I will use the sponge again if I only used it for a light surface cleaning on the granite. The sound of soggy fried grosses me out. I am trying to go totally vegan but I want a very thick chocolate milk shake now so I can dip some fries into it.:lol::lol::lol: How weird isthat?

The last part had me laughing out loud. Hee hee - YOU'RE the sweet one, Tammi K! My obsession goes deeper than I can describe, and if I have either of my older two girls with me they vigorously discourage me from my "wrist approaches" because they're so embarrassed. I also have a whole system of assessing whether a mom or dad looks open to me "noticing" the baby. Most people are, but people who aren't give off a definite vibe and I don't approach. On the rare occasion that I'm alone and I simply don't have the self-control to Resist the Wrists, I always mention that I have three kids myself and I miss their baby creases. If the person is REALLY enthusiastic, I will sometimes reveal a little secret, like how I used to stick index cards in my kids' wrist creases just to see the cards stand up straight. I also have a reputation at our church, even among those I don't know well. So new parents I've barely ever had a conversation with will say things to me like, "We're working on puffing up the wrists for you!" You'd think I'd be mortified by this, but it actually delights me. Yeah.....it goes deep. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissad2 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I put A1 sauce on a baked potato and it HAS to A1 no generic stuff will do. I like to eat dill pickles with my popcorn.

Guest Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 My first thought- when I make my "to do" lists, I always write stuff that I have already completed, just so I can check the box! I like dipping french fries in soft vanilla ice cream. Sweet and salty... YUM! I always sleep on the side furthest from the door so if there is an intruder, they get DH first ha ha. Yup!

Mommie_Jen Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I still need to catch up and read the last half of the thread, but we are another family that doesn't use top sheets at all. Hate them! Also, since I was a kid I have had an emergency hiding place staked out in every house I have lived. I have no history of anyone breaking into a home, or no violence, but it's just a freak thing I do. And when DH travels for work occasionally, I pull out the hunting knife to sleep beside me.

hthnmamax2 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 My husband reminded me of something else I do that's really weird. I have to have the seam of the pillowcase at the top of the pillow. I can't sleep if the seam is under my neck. I also have to have the opening of the pillowcase to my left. Ever since I was a child, I rub my finger on the edge of the pillowcase. If I can't access the edge of the pillowcase, I'll use the hem of the top sheet. For some reason this helps me sleep.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is almost like rocking myself to sleep, but it is just my foot. It is so soothing and thankfully, dh doesn't mind me doing it. Oh, and I thought of another one...

Twilight Woods 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. you can come and be weird at my house!

Not very thrifty of me, but I hate little pencils. When I go out to eat; I take my own clorox wipes and clean the table before I can eat at it. I'm a germophobic.

I am always convinced that someone will die. I was never this way before last summer, now it is a major fear of mine. I let ds8 go off on an activity on his own with out me he was in that car wreck just the fall before i let him go to gramma's for a few days and he ended up with a broken arm now I have a really hard time letting them be too separated from me and sustaining a serious injury.

Truscifi Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Me too! My other weirdness is that when I do the dishes by hand, I don't fill the sink full of clean, soapy water and soak the dishes in it. I wash and rinse each item separately. You know the clean, soapy water isn't that clean after you have had about 10 dirty plates in it. Me too.

Chelli Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I have an entire order that I subconciously eat food. There are also rules. Here goes: 1) I always start eating with a bite of the meat dish/main dish on the plate, then I eat in a clockwise motion with the starchy side dish being next (mashed potatoes, rice, pasta, macaroni and cheese, etc.), then I eat the other vegetables in the clockwise order. Take a bite of bread, then a drink of my beverage. Start the cycle over again. 2) The only time this rule is altered is if I am eating a breaded vegetable (fried okra, fried squash, etc.), then there MUST be another non-breaded vegetable between the breaded vegetable and the bite of bread. 3) Everything on my plate has to be finished at the same time. Based upon serving size I've actually gotten pretty good at determining exactly how big or small the bites need to be to make everything run out at the same time. If my dh or one of the kids tries to take something off of my plate to eat, then I will fight to the death to keep them away. It all has to end evenly and if they mess it up, then it's ruined! 4) My food cannot touch....EVER! Take out boxes with one big space for your food give me chills. And yes, I know that I have issues! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nova147 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I am terrified of haunted houses. Cannot go in them. Before we were married, DH tried to "cure" me. That cost him at least $100 in lost admissions as I could never make it more than a few minutes. I dislike going to the movie theater. I'm quite good at suspending disbelief, which is great when reading a novel because I feel like I'm in the story. But with movies, it's TOO real. If I go, I have to leave for a few minutes at least once during the show to reconnect with reality. I do the same at home, but at least here I can just stop the movie!

Live2Ride Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I love my 6 little Hermit Crabs...I call them 'My Dudes'...I always 'rescue' one from the beach shop when I go. It takes me 10 minutes or so to get myself just right in bed...no sheets wrinkled under me, covers have to be just right, hair not under my back, but around my shoulders, no tight blankets around my feet, sometimes feet hanging out if it's slightly warm in there, then it's only blankets around my middle section, must have my little soft microfleece blanket over the side of my head/ear because though I love the fan, I don't like it blowing over my ears, and said blanket goes softest side only under and around my arm and face/cheek of the left side and my pillow needs to be fluffed just so; of course if my DH is there I normally snuggle up with him and there are a few more issues to contend with, lol ...geeze that sounds nuerotic! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based upon serving size I've actually gotten pretty good at determining exactly how big or small the bites need to be to make everything run out at the same time. If my dh or one of the kids tries to take something off of my plate to eat, then I will fight to the death to keep them away. It all has to end evenly and if they mess it up, then it's ruined! 4) My food cannot touch....EVER! Take out boxes with one big space for your food give me chills. And yes, I know that I have issues! :D Now, are you a picky eater or will you eat just about anything as long as you're able to do it within the above parameters?

MamaBearTeacher Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I sleep on my stomach with my head and body covered. I am not sure how I am able to breathe. I am addicted to chewable vitamin C. (actually this is starting to become a serious concern and I might put up a separate post about this) I would rather people didn't touch my things and if I am taking a brochure from a stack and nobody is watching me I will not take the first one.

nukeswife Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 alright if we're giving up weird eating habit secrets here goes. I can't mix my food, by this I mean I can't eat a bite of meat, then a bite of potato, then a bite of veg. I eat only one thing at a time until it is all gone then move on to the next. My parents used to question the why behind it and then say "It's all going to be mixed together anyway" my response was always "Yes, but it doesn't have to taste like that on the way down" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hthnmamax2 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Oooh...I HAVE to mix my peas and mashed potatoes together to eat them. I also do not like to put any form of roll or biscuit or bread on my plate because I don't want the bottom of it to absorb anything from the other food. Which, is kind of odd because I even do that if there's gravy or sauce, but then I dip the bread in the gravy or sauce to eat it anyway! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
