shinyhappypeople Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I do this too, but prefer it to be a thick chocolate milk shake. Oooh, I'm so trying this. I've always stuck with vanilla in the past. I thought of another weirdness: I am completely grossed out at the thought of swimming in lakes or oceans. I'm willing to wade up to my ankles at the shore, but the idea of immersing myself in the ick is just, well, ICKY. Give me a lovely, crystal clear, chlorinated pool any day!

Chris in VA Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I can't tell you how much better I feel, hearing about your weirdnesses! For a long time, I kept secret (just my FOO knew) that I occasionally stim by putting my fingers together and wiggling them very fast. I have never told anyone this! It's partly how I finally figured out that I'm probably on the Aspie side of things. I was so ashamed for so long! Whew! I feel like crying, now that I've "told!"

Ellesmere Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Well, since I am pretty sure only two people on the board have ever met me in person I will admit that maybe I might have a problem with touching food. And if I'm around a group of people or in public I eat normally because I dislike the negative attention of secret weirdness. In private I wear food prep gloves as much as possible in the kitchen and eat most finger foods with utensils. That's the beginning of what might be some weirdness about food (or is this really normal? I'm sure it is!) and it just gets worse. I did get caught by someone in IRL and confessed most of this to her. It was nice to admit it and move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatmansWife 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? No, no, no. You have it alllll wrong! Picture this: you have a rectangle of a towel. You fold in the middle so the two short sides touch. Then, lengthwise you fold the right side edge to the middle. Then you fold the left side edge over that (so you now have a 3 fold double layer). Then......you roll it up! Got that? You do know that you can fit more on the shelf if the towels are rolled, right? ;) At least my little shelves. And, no.....I am not weird at all...so I really don't know why I'm a part of this discussion. :blush: Edited June 21, 2012 by ~AprilMay~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kengjw Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Not sure if this is weird but I almost always have to eat fried chicken with ketchup.

Karen in CO Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I never even knew this was weird until dh told me it was. :001_huh: I have to make my sandwiches with the bread matching. When I make a sandwhich, I take two adjacent pieces of bread, open them like a book, add whatever to the sandwhich, then close it back up. It is wrong to make it with the bread not matching. I can't eat it if the bread crusts don't align. Blanket tags must be in the right place, towels must be folded right-side out, pillowcases must be placed so that the open end faces the outside of the bed.... I could go on, but I think that is enough. I always thought I was easy to live with and pretty laid back until people started telling me I was weird. Oh well.

Element Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Holes, circles, seeds, or repetitive patterns with a lot of contrast make me feel physically ill. Not holes in the ground, just a picture of something with holes. If I see a dried lotus pod or something similar, I can't get it out of my head and it bothers me for days, sometimes even weeks. A cross-section of red lettuce, the inside of a pomegranate, sometimes even the look of boiling water all make me shudder. Biology diagrams and cut-aways are bad too. I am dreading teaching life science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mama2cntrykids Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I like dipping french fries in soft vanilla ice cream. Sweet and salty... YUM! YES! I can't think of anything. Maybe I have too many to list? The first thing that *did* pop into my head was the above. I'm a neat freak. Probably not as "freaky" as some, but I need stuff to be clean and neat or else I *can NOT* function. I get highly irritated and annoyed with ppl pretty quickly if stuff isn't neat and clean. Really, I think it's gotten worse the older I get. On that note, the house stays reasonably clean/neat.

littlebug42 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 I have a sock thing. It absolutely drives me obsessively crazy if anyone wears their socks inside out or even worse, one inside out and one right side out. I had a roommate in college that didn't care and I would obsess about it until she fixed them. 15 years later, she says she cannot put a sock on inside out any more and thinks of me every time. I hate for people, even my dh and children, to touch my face. Kisses on the cheek, any of that stuff, I can't stand. I can tolerate dh kissing me but that is about it. I couldn't stand it even as a child. I will not swim in a lake or other body of water that living creatures dwell in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karen in CO Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 So with an eating disorder are you considered cured or is it like an addict, something you have to work through every day. (Sorry if that is too personal. Ignore me if you need to. I've never talked to someone who had an eating disorder, but have always wondered that.) As a recovering anorexic, it is always there. I work really, really hard to not be that way. I make myself only weigh myself 4 times a week. I force myself to finish each portion of food I serve myself. I will go days without looking in the mirror just to avoid having to remind myself that I am the perfect size. I keep a very narrow margin for my weight: I can be two pounds under or one pound over my ideal weight. If I am feeling off, I fight very hard to get myself back centered before I start to disappear. See, if I type it out it sounds like I'm not at all cured. I do make sure that my girls learn to approve of themselves. When one of them gets weighed my only comments is, "You're the perfect weight for a Dani your size." or Lexi - you get the idea. I also work hard to never let them hear me criticize myself. I have extremely good positive internal dialog. Others might be more "cured" than I am, but I'm still working at. I don't think I would have survived it at all if my OB, when I was pregnant with my oldest, hadn't recognized it for what it was and helped me to save my son.

Truscifi Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Just the opposite here. I can do the dirty dishwater but not a brown body of water. See, that makes sense. There could actually be stuff swimming with you in the body of water. But that has never bothered me. Just the sink - a toilet or bathtub that was stopped up and cloudy would freak me out too.

PeacefulChaos Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Speaking of towels, I have to be sure my hands aren't overly dry before I fold towels. Or laundry of any sort, but especially towels. I have lotion in the laundry room for that very purpose - to have very moisturized hands when folding towels, because even the thought of the towels otherwise makes me cringe. :001_huh: Other than that?

KidsHappen Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 Ok, you asked for it. My hair has to be parted perfectly down the middle. Meaning perfectly centered and the line perfectly straight. Sometime when I am not very well balanced and my OCD is running the show, I will keep reparting my hair until my scalp is bleeding. I simply can't say good enough and walk away. Luckily, this doesn't happen much anymore because for one thing there is a very thin area in the middle of my scalp when the hair does not grow anymore and it pretty much parts itself there. The other thing is that my OCD is one of the easier things to keep under control. I have lots of other weirdness but I figure this is one is pretty unusual. I have only met one single other person with this same quirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they cough on their hand, then touch a surface I can see (in my minds eye) the aura transfer. I think I saw too many of those disinfectant commercials as a child. It makes me VERY squemish around sick people, though. I worked in a pharmacy for about 6 months, every time someone paid me I wanted to scream "Gaah!" because I could see their germs on the money :lol: I only like to hold hands with my husband. My kids always want to hold my hand, and I feel bad because I have to remind myself to hold their hand or I instinctively jerk it away. I can hug, snuggle, kiss the kids, though, so I don't think they are deprived. I do the thing about symmetry, too. I used to drive myself bonkers looking in the mirror because I just KNEW one eye was significantly larger than the other (I still see this in pictures, I have learned to overlook it, no one else can see....or will tell me if they see it :001_unsure: I only like odd numbers, and if I have to start a medicine I like to start on a Monday or Wednesday. It almost kills me to start on a Thursday. My mom is total opposite and only likes even numbers LOL I cannot stand it if the top sheet is put on wrong. It is to be put on with the "good" side facing down, so that when you fold the bed back you see the good side. When my husband makes the bed, he has been known to even put the top (the wide edge) on some side besides the top. That almost makes me loose control. It HAS to be on top!

I split the stack and grab from the middle. Oh, yes! The lids! I do the exact same thing, although mine is more of a germ thing. Hadn't thought about roaches. (Until now! Ack!) I have to force myself to use the first cup off the stack by telling myself that the inside was protected by the next cup. *Sigh* We used to go to a fast food place where your drink came with an unwrapped straw already poked through the lid. I had to train myself not to think about the fact that their unwashed fingers may have touched the part I put in my mouth. Yeah. Not that I'm a germaphobe or anything. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denisemomof4 Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 That's not weird! You're eating them the Right Way. :) Bread. You need bread or something else to sop up the juicy goodness from your dh's plate. That's perfectly fine for a meal. If you're talking ice cream, though, go ahead and just lick hiw bowl clean.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
