To pass the time: Get to know your "Quirky Bumpie"!

Smellygirl

I hate crowded elevators, and will sneakily push the "close door" button if I see someone coming (I don't do this if they ask me to hold it, or if they are running or if they have a kid or a wheelchair or something). 

I will also decline to get into an elevator with a group of people already in it.

I've mentioned this before, but "Stinky" "Smelly" and all similar words or phrases are a term of endearment to me and my family.  DS is most commonly referred to as "Stinker"

I can't eat the ends of anything..no crust on the bread, no banana ends, no pickle ends, no poptart ends, and etc.

 

That reminds me...I eat everything in a circle...edges first. Pop-Tarts I eat the outside and save inside for last. Hamburgers and sandwiches I eat around in a circle and eat the middle last. The only exception would be a Philly cheesteak b/c that would be impossible.

1. it really bothers me when a room is not symmetrical, and especially if something is not centered on a wall (be it a picture, piece of furniture, etc.)

2. i absolutely hate the feeling of dry lips, and am constantly applying burt's bees.

3. i always wash my face the same way, and rinse it off twice.

This. it really bothers me.

My closet is arranged by item (shirts, dresses, skirts, pants), by sleeve length if applicable and then by rainbow order color.  But my dresser drawers are a free for all. 

our closest probably look very similar. i organize mine the same way

 

 

also, i am deathly afraid of ostriches 

when people put those edible picture stickers on cakes i can not eat the person in the picture. i need of piece of cake not covered by the picture

Oh I never eat the last bite of a hot dog.

unlike one of the previous posters, i cant stand it when the top sheet is tucked in, neither can DH. the first thing we do when we get in a hotel bed is yank the sheet out.

i am absolutely terrified of "what-ifs." if DH and i are arguing while he's at work or something, i always end up ending the fight before he leaves beause im afraid something could happen to him on his way home and the last thing we would have done is argue. i tell him i love him probably 3 times in the morning before he leaves for work. i worry too much...

i kiss DS on his nose and say "sweet dreams sweetheart" every night before i go to bed or i cant sleep.

Thank you.  I'm so lucky to have them.

The only thing I can think of is that I can remember anyone's birthday or anniversary, having only been told once.  Several years after meeting someone, I will say, "Isn't today your brother's birthday?" or "wasn't yesterday your wedding anniversary?"  I seriously have to refrain myself from asking someone I just met their birthday.  Yea, I know.  Ultra. Quirky.

nuestra _boda:

Now I can remember somethings!!

I can't sleep with socks on I feel like suffocating! (sp?)

I can't drink water in a glass tha was filled with something else before

I HAVE to eat drinking water..no juice no sodas no nothing

 

This!

runnergirl79

I also wash my hands compulsively.

Also, I won't drink any milk after anyone else.  I really don't like drinking after people in general, but especially milk!

1) I can not have anyone else file my nails.  It's so bad that when I get manicures I file them before hand and ask them to skip that part. 

2)  I used to have my toenails painted 100% of the time until someone told me your nails can get cancer from the polish.  I know this is ridiculous but I haven't painted them since.  

3) I organize my shirts in the closet like this: dressy tanks, v-neck tees, scoop-neck tees, reg. tees, polo tees, 3/4 length sleeves (v, scoop, regular, polo), long sleeves (v, scoop, regular, polo, collared).  My pants/bottoms are hung: skirts (short to long), gauchos, capris, jeans, dress pants, dresses.  BUT I don't fold my underwear, I just toss them into the drawer.

4) I can not skip ahead in a book.  If I'm reading a page and feel like I missed even one word I will go back and re-read to find that one word or sentence before I can continue on.

1.  I brush my teeth in the shower.

2.  I hate hate hate dust.  I can't handle having dust anywhere in my house and will clean the surfaces of my home multiple times a day.

3.  I can't say "bibliography"...it comes out something like this:  bibli-a-grad-o-fee.

Another one: I fold DH's underwear but just shove mine in the drawer. And he prefers to not have his folded, I just do it out of some weird habit.

3. I still mourn the loss of Snapple Mint Iced Tea which was discontinued about a year ago. DH and I drank our last one in celebration of the BFP.

I miss Snapple Apple Iced Tea...they discontinued that years ago, though.  And I miss light brown M&Ms.

My own quirk: I prefer catsup and mustard from glass bottles.  I will only drink Coke from a glass.  But I always want water in a plastic cup.

I have a mild OCD un terms of how to do the laundry, fold towels and organize closets and drawers. And I don't allow anybody to mess with the way I do it.

1. I hate hate hate cotton balls. The sound of them being pulled apart gives me goosebumps and makes me want to pull all my teeth out and I cannot stand the way they feel.

 

OMG!  I can't believe someone else feels this way!  It was so bad when I was a kid that I couldn't even put my socks on! 

amber_tynan

Sorry, some more.

I also take too long to eat and get mad if people get up from the table before I'm done.

I would rather stick needles in my eye than touch a peach or apricot.  The fuzz makes me roll my tongue in my mouth- even just thinking about it.

I once got a piece of cilantro stuck in the back of my throat for days.  The taste grosses me out now.  If anything has cilantro in it, I'll try to pick it out.  Ever tried picking cilantro out?  Not fun - hahaha.

I love lobster, swordfish, shrimp and sushi - probably the most fishiest tasting fish on this planet.  I cannot stand muscles, oysters, cod, etc. etc.  Fish and pasta (i.e. shrimp scampi).....barf!!! 

The thought of open water literally paralyzes me.  Just the thought of being out in the middle of the ocean with nothing but miles and miles of water all around you (especially beneath you) TOTALLY freaks me out!!!  Ever seen the movie A Perfect Storm??  Yeah.....I haven't!!!

WendyBird&Chris

1. I must flick the clock if I see it turn 11:11 even if I have to run to it

2. I go out of my way to step on crunchy leaves

3. My downstairs has to be straightened perfectly before I go to bed.  All pillows fluffed, blankets folded, coasters put in the right spot, trash taken out, sink empty, dishes put away, counters and tables tops wiped down and empty.

2. I hate when closets/cupboards are left open.

I had no idea cotton balls made a sound!

They do.  And it's disgusting.  I share the hate of cotton balls, I don't even like saying "cotton balls", gives me the heebie jeebies.

I've got another one. I am a supertaster. I have extra taste buds. This can really be great and can really suck. Certain foods taste amazing while others do not. Salt, Cilantro and pickles always stand out to me in a negative way. My favorite thing to do is to guess what the ingredients are in someone's recipe.

Heather577

I will go out of my way to step on a crunchy leaf.

 

It makes me gag (literally) when the tag is hanging out of someones shirt or pants.  I literally almost puke.

I'm also scared to death of... Bears! I live in northern Alberta (Canada) and there are bears close to town. There are nice trails to walk on summer but I've never gone because of the bears (off course). Funny thing is that I'm scared of bears even before to move to Canada, when I lived in my country (South america), in a big city, where bears won't "EVER" be found apart from the zoo.

- I share the hatred of cotton balls.  Gross.

- I can make my tummy growl on command.

- I sleep with my feet out of the covers.

1. I love cheese sandwiches, but if its melted cheese, I can't eat it.

2. The first thing I do when I get home from work is wash my hands, I absolutely hate the soap at work. (hospital)

3. Can't think of a #3.

*Caress*

I don't eat popcorn by itself, I have to have it with Peanut M&M's and at the same time.

I love eating Flour Tortillas with Peanut Butter in it. It's not the healthiest but it tastes so gooooood!  lol Everyone has made fun of me for this up until they've tried it and now they all eat it all the time.

1.  I'm not claustrophobic but I cannot ride in elevators.  I'm not sure why.

2. I love uncooked cheese but will not eat melted cheese.

3. I'm OCD about cleaning.  Everything has to be spotless and I have to do it now.

I know I'm late, but I'm bored, so I thought I'd answer anyway.

If Unknown Caller comes up on my call display, I don't answer the phone.

If I bring a drink to bed at night, I put a piece of paper over the glass because I'm afraid a bug will crawl into my cup and I'll accidentally swallow it.

I only eat at Fast Food places where I know they wear gloves. If they don't wear gloves, I only order fries or nuggets or something that doesn't require anyone to actually touch my food.

I always have to kiss DH and tell him I love him before one of us leaves the house; same with DS. I also make sure DH kisses DS goodbye and tells him he loves him, because if something happens to one of us I want that to be our last memory of the person.
