GTKY: Does that make me crazy?

Pintobean39 · October 2013

I love listening to Kidd Kraddick when they have people call in about odd things they do to see if that makes then crazy. There are really some crazy people out there.

So I'd thought I'd ask y'all .... Is there something you do that other may consider you crazy?

Pintobean39 · October 2013

One thing I do is I can't eat any kind of sandwich unless it's cut in half .... Even if I don't have a knife to cut it I will tear it in half.

mbRN83 · October 2013

I color code EVERYTHING. Including my closet. Best part was...I met my DH in college, and when I walked into his apartment....his closet was color coded , tooooooo! I knew we were soul mates.

Pintobean39 · October 2013

@macylynn I do the same thing!!! So no you aren't crazy

liladelphia215 · October 2013

I eat peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. Has to be dill pickles. Most people think I'm crazy for eating it. I have since I was a kid

I never make the bed in the morning, but I can't go to sleep unless the bed is made. So I make the bed right before I get in it for the night.

Does that make me crazy?

I love that bit, too!

I totally do this too! I hate twisty sheets and I hate making the bed so it only gets done right before I hop in'

I CANNOT eat or touch mayonnaise, mustard or salad dressing. The idea of it makes me feel squidgy. If my salad is too shiny, I'm convinced it has dressing on it. Restaurants love me.

I mix mayonnaise and ketchup and dip my fries in it. I also dip my hamburger, that of course in cut in half, in this mixture too.

Salsera29 · October 2013

I refuse to eat meat if it looks anything like the animal it came from. I would not even attend a pig roast. I know that makes me a bit of a hypocrite, but so be it. I also will not eat anything I played with or fed as a child...so duck and lamb are out.

@BPaws, DH doesn't like any condiments either. Only thing he'll add to food is hot sauce, soy sauce, or oil & vinegar. He says he doesn't like "white creamy things." Ha.

Most nights I change my underwear and put on perfume before I go to bed.

ksuRN09 · October 2013

I have texture issues so I can't stand oatmeal and jello on a regular basis. But sometimes I can eat it if I'm in the mood. Lol

My sister and I both have issues touching cold food that is supposed to be warm. Ie Leftovers. I will eat them but only if I don't have to touch the food before it's warm.

I already know this makes me crazy. Haha

My food can not touch on my plate, AT ALL. I've been known to use three plates on Thanksgiving.

Edit: Spelling.

sister13 · October 2013

I do not really like picking up around the house, so the house can get a bit cluttered. However, some things have to be very orderly - for instance the utensils in the utensil drawer have to be perfectly lined up on their sides (not stacked and some handles sticking out).

And I can't stand when I have just emptied the dishwasher and there aren't 12 of all the regular utensils - where are they hiding and who took them???

I don't like cold food either. I never understood the whole cold pizza thing.

My DH is EXACTLY THE SAME WAY. He also hates Ketchup or anything with vinegar. When people ask what kind of food he likes I say "Anything but condiments..."

I've taken to putting pulpy orange juice on salad just to have some acid and wetness. He doesn't mind that...

I'm a lot less picky than I was as a kid but I still HATE soggy food (except tortillas in tortilla soup). Syrup goes NEXT TO my pancakes. Sauce goes NEXT TO anything I'm going to dip it in. Soggy food wigs me out, so if it's an absorbent carb (something fried or breakfast food) that sauce goes ON THE SIDE. I may even order EXTRA, and load the sauce ONTO the food, but it only goes on right before I eat it, no sitting around in sauce until I get around to it...

LaDyBostonRN · October 2013

I hate touching or holding coins. And I hate touching doorhandles. Especially metal ones. The smell to the hands is enough to make me vomit.

I do the same! minus the cut in half part.

acorn99 · October 2013

I hate to eat meat that has the bone touching it....ie, chicken wings, drumsticks, tbone steaks, etc.

joshua+rebecca11 · October 2013

Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches!! I didn't know anyone else in the world liked them! My friend and I once made peanut butter and pickle muffins...and those WERE cray cray...definitely not as good as the sandwich!

joshua+rebecca11 · October 2013

Ladybug622, I can totally relate! Lol, it used to kind of drive my hubby crazy when we first got married.

catmagick · October 2013

@DarcyHarmione YES!!!! I love crazy socks! I've had a thin for then since I was a teenager and every sock I own is patterned with silly things! My students love them ;-) I literally do not own a single pair of normal socks.

I am psychotic about making the bed. It has to be perfect she I get in it at night. When I change the sheets I am super meticulous about the way it is made. I can't stand when the sheets are twisted or when the sheet comes up over my feet and my feet are only under the blankets.

Also though, really, I hate anything to do with teeth. Everything about them makes me cringe and react immediately. When my students show me their loose teeth it makes me freak out! The dentist, people in the movies punching each other in the teeth; anything. I hate it. And anything to do with shit and especially the word poop. Gross!!! I get grossed out very easily and hate bathroom humor.

Peanut butter and pickles ..... That's just a little cray!!!

I love dipping fries in mayo. LOVE. But I hate mayo on sandwiches. Miracle Whip only! I also eat the flavored fruit packets of oatmeal...dry.

When I went to the Netherlands as a kid I learned the joys of Mayo on fries. Again, I have to dip them and the french fries have to be hot and salty. On sandwiches the mayo has to be used just lightly enough that it adds some moisture, but not enough to soak (see my post on sogginess) the bread or enough that I can really taste it.

I can't stand miracle whip but I hope we can still be friends. I promise not to bring torches to your house like on that commercial.

Also, I am ALWAYS talking things out in my head. As a teenager my mom thought I was talking to my boyfriend at night on the phone because she'd hear me vaguely talking out loud in my bedroom. She confronted me about it because she thought I was using my cell phone and wanted me to not use up my minutes (this is waay back... it was a nokia brick...). "Just use the house phone to call him!" NOPE! Just making up pretend arguments and making up my own elaborate bedtime stories and speaking the dialogue out loud! Sorry Mom, I'm not that cool...

This is me too! It goes beyond hate though and I just won't eat it. If we are out somewhere and there are no other protein choices besides something on the bone DH picks it off for me.

I have a lot of weird food issues. My DH also picks my meat off the bone for me if it's the only choice. I always get side eyed for it, glad I'm not the only one.

I like my meat cut up too. In a restaurant it's not a problem, but at home I always cut meat up on a cutting board before putting it on my plate. I remember that my Dad liked to cut my meat for me way longer than I needed him too (I'm the youngest, I think it was something he liked to do to ignore me growing up. It bothered my older sister a lot). Now, it's just easier for me that way. I don't worry about marking up plates or slipping or whatever. I use a big, appropriate knife on the cutting board, make everything bite size (I have a small mouth it seems, so I like things cut up small) and put it on. It's just easier for me...

I will pick the food off the bone myself, but I spend forever dissecting it so there is NO hint of skin, fat, or *shudder* that tendon-y stuff. If I accidentally eat any of that, I gag and I'm done eating.

I also can't touch food that is left in the sink when I do the dishes. I wear gloves or make DH clean it.

I plan out everything...literally. I have made a "budget" where I project out what will be spent out of each check and money going out for bills and coming in...on post-it notes because I had to do it at the moment I was thinking of it.

I have also done this for planning for a baby - # of diapers/day times # of days in a month divided by # of diapers/box - have also done this by size and for formula. I've come up with how much it will be total and how much it will be per paycheck for 36 weeks...because I'm crazy. I realize babies don't care and are bigger and eat more/less/different and can be sensitive to diapers. I'm just crazy.

There is medication for that! Lol

Pintobean39 · October 2013

Miracle Whip is NOT mayonnaise!

You have to have Blue plate MAYONNAISE.

divinemsbee · October 2013

I cannot do plain mayo. The very smell or touch of it makes me a little gaggy. But, I love potato salad/chicken salad/ranch dressing, but I generally will replace part of the mayo with sour cream or greek yogurt. It's one of two foods that I have never been able to eat, the other is raw tomatoes. Which I really wish I liked.

I have to be the one to put the groceries away. Not that everything has a set place, but I like to put things where I think they go best. I actually get a little snappy with H if he tries to start without me.

I also have had the same general shower routine since I was a teenager and get a little grumpy and don't feel all the way clean if I don't get to do things exactly in order. It means I will only do shower sex or a sexy shower if I have already had a shower in the last day because that's the only time I can relax. And I have to shower after a bath or have showered before it because baths are for fun, not for clean.

I think most people think I am a little crazy. I kinda just do what I feel like, regardless of what might be expected/normal.
I like to insert my pets' names into song lyrics. My mom and I used to do it, I sitll remember singing "he did it all for the cookie" to my rottweiler, as well as "this ain't no funky cookie party" - I think it has gotten more excessive in recent years and sometimes I know other people catch me doing it!

I do that all the time and DH thinks it's so strange, but he's starting doing it too.

Me too! I can't eat eggs, mushrooms, creme brule, flan, oatmeal, anything squishy, makes me gag. DH thinks I'm just picky. But I love mushroom taste and oatmeal smells so good, I just can't with the texture.

@Pintobean39 - Fry sauce. It's a staple in Utah.

BlckRoses · October 2013

My biggest one is that I like things to be neat and orderly. I prefer to eat my M&Ms only after I can pour them out of the bag and line them up by color, with the most prevalent color at the bottom, then I eat the longest line until it matches the next longest line. I'm capable of eating them right out of the bag, so I don't think it's an issue. I do that with other things, but that's the best example.

I do this too, more so with different flavored candies, though. I don't want to run out of my preferred flavor before the others, so I'll group them and then work my way down.
