1. What is something you do that others think is weird/quirky? A habit, a routine, a combination of food you like to eat, etc? When pickles are speared I basically eat them like corn on the cob and eat out the middle part.

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in? Definitely my labor because the speed in which it happened. DH looking like a deer in headlights, 8 nurses in my room, and being told to wait to push until the doctor could arrive at the hospital (WTF?). Labor was so fast I don't think we ever had that moment I was expecting like "I'm in labor" or "We're about to officially be parents". It felt like we were in bed one second and holding a baby the next. Didn't hit us until weeks later that we were a mom and dad, that part might be normal though.

3. What is your biggest pet peeve? When someone is late or cancels plans.

Just another version of getting to know you for our Monday morning.

1. What is something you do that others think is weird/quirky? A habit, a routine, a combination of food you like to eat, etc? Instead of listening to music I listen to books on tape.

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in? I teach special ed so I have many situations that I find weird. Like the time I had to tell a student that any condom can break. He thought one brand would not break at all.

3. What is your biggest pet peeve?Texting while eating with someone else

1. I'm obnoxiously quirky.

I have to Q-Tip both ears at the same time. S/O hates that I don't use both ends of one Q-Tip, but whatever.
Dresser drawers have to be completly shut or I'll freak out.
I love cottage cheese on chili.

2. One time in HS my friend brought a guy friend of hers over that went to a different high school. We both immediately recognized each other from 1st grade, and both remember him playing 'doctor' in class and showing me his wiener. It was bizarre how much we remembered of each other at 6 years old and not meeting again till we were 17.

3. People who chew or drink loudly. People who double park. People who spell probably 'prolly' or use semicolons as commas;; like that.

1) My husband would say everything I do is weird lol. I do like to break out in random British or Australian accents at times. I dance in the car. I dance and sing at random times in my house. I like to take my work pants off at the end of the day and just walk around in underwear because I don't feel like running upstairs to get pants. I can't be on the computer and pay attention to DH. I think I can but I don't because I end up asking him the same thing he just told me when I was distracted, later in the day.

2) Weirdest situation I ever found myself in is hard to think of off the top of my head. I guess working in the male side of a county jail and walking past the cells. Felt like a piece of meat and that was a weird feeling.

3) Biggest pet peeve is people who mess up their, there, they're and you're and your. Is correct grammar too much to ask for?!?

1. What is something you do that others think is weird/quirky? A habit, a routine, a combination of food you like to eat, etc?
I eat my foods one at a time - all of one item before starting the next
I used to bite my toe nails. (yea, I know)

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in?
I don't remember it, but apparently I fell out of my second floor bedroom window when I was like 18 months. The neighbor across the street was sitting on his porch and saw what looked like blankets fall out and slide down the awning into the bushes. When he heard baby noises, he came over to investigate, picked me up, and knocked on the front door to give me to my mom.

3. What is your biggest pet peeve?
People who chew with their mouth open or loudly. My reaction is usually to ask that person, "Is that good?"

One of my weird things is that string cheese has to be consumed in pairs. Even if it's a guest at my house and they only want one stick, I have to eat one as well.

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in?

Went to a friend's birthday party a few years ago. There was a dude fingering a girl in the corner of the dinning room.

3. What is your biggest pet peeve?

People who don't use their turn signals when they drive. People who go slow on the left lane of the highway. People who can't park properly. People who are rude to servers/retail employees.

Uhhhhh, wow! I got talked into going to a Halloween party that ended up being insane. Chocolate pudding wrestling in the living room (no, I did not participate) and the party host having a three way with his fiancee and her cousin in the shower...and the bathroom window had no curtains so folks in the backyard could see everything going on. Also people bringing furniture out of the house to burn in the bonfire in the backyard. Didn't stay long at that party!

1. What is something you do that others think is weird/quirky? A habit, a routine, a combination of food you like to eat, etc? I love macaroni and cheese with BBQ sauce.

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in? Odd as it is to say, I'd have to say finding out I was pregnant, it still doesn't seem real.

3. What is your biggest pet peeve? People who litter especially when a trash can is a couple of feet away.

1. What is something you do that others think is weird/quirky? A habit, a routine, a combination of food you like to eat, etc? reading while walking.

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in? Working in retail, a kid pulled down his pants and pooped on the floor with his mom standing right next to him.

3. What is your biggest pet peeve? I'm not sure if it's actually the biggest but it's up there. When people refer to Frankenstein's Monster as Frankenstein.

1. What is something you do that others think is weird/quirky? A habit, a routine, a combination of food you like to eat, etc? The volume on the TV and radio have to be set on either an even number or a multiple of 5. DH likes to set it on 17 just to bother me. I will literally wrestle the remote away from him to turn it to 16 or 18.

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in? I'm an attorney, and I once had a case against a guy that I was pretty good friends with in high school, who was charged with murder. I won the case, but he ended up getting it overturned and pled to a lesser charge later. It was weird because he kept calling me by my first name while I was questioning him on the stand. He was a really nice guy in high school, too. It was sad.

3. What is your biggest pet peeve? I can't stand it when people say "I could care less." That doesn't mean anything. All you're saying is that you care some. It's not quantifying anything. If you say "I couldn't care less" that means you don't care at all, and that tells me something. If you "could care less" you might care a little bit or a lot. See? It drives me nuts!!!!

Jennik30 · November 2013

@gallifreygirl I agree with you about Frankenstein's monster.

I would TOTALLY go to that party.

1. What is something you do that others think is weird/quirky? A habit, a routine, a combination of food you like to eat, etc? I got my BFP last Wednesday and I have been peeing on Wondfo cheapie HPTs multiple times a day since then. Which I guess is not THAT weird. But I'm saving them all in an old makeup case in my drawer. Not sure why. I guess so I can compare how the lines get darker. Anyway, DH would be horrified if he knew I was hoarding strips of paper with dried urine on them.

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in? When I was in my 20s, I was dating a total loser and went to Mexico with him over spring break. We drove across the border from AZ, where he lived. On the way back home, we got stopped at the border because they thought this loser was trying to bring back prescription drugs with him. He just had that sketchy look about him, I guess. We had to sit in the tiny, scary room while a customs officer drilled us. Thank God they didn't find anything, though I wouldn't have put it past that dude to bring drugs across the border and not tell me.

3. What is your biggest pet peeve? When people say they are going to do something and then don't do it or back out of a commitment at the last minute.

Semicolon abuse is one of my pet peeves, too. If you're not sure how to use one, just don't use one!

I'm a picker. And I love it when DH or I get sunburned enough to peel so I can peel off all the dry/dead skin. (Obviously I don't like getting that burned because it hurts and I have a family history of skin cancer, but I like to peel the skin.)

THIS, except with zits. Seriously. I know it's disgusting, but if DH has a zit on his back, I can't help but pop it. He hates it.

1. What is something you do that others think is weird/quirky? A habit, a routine, a combination of food you like to eat, etc? I love bread, butter, peanut butter, cheese whiz and sugar sprinked on top sandwiches. My sister and I grew up on them with my pap.

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in? Probably being pregnant!

3. What is your biggest pet peeve? Slow drivers in the passing lane. Shit or get off the pot!

ksuRN09 · November 2013

1. Certain foods cannot touch on my plate. Like peas cannot touch mashed potatoes but it's ok if mashed potatoes touch noodles. I have a system and DH thinks it's very strange.

2. We went on vacation with another couple and shared a hotel room. I woke up in the middle of the night to them having sex in the bed 2 feet away from us. Very awkward. Needless to say, we will always get our own room now.

3. People who drive under the speed limit. If you cannot go 55mph then you probably shouldn't be driving a car.

Lola825 · November 2013

1. What is something you do that others think is weird/quirky? A habit, a routine, a combination of food you like to eat, etc? I eat pickles skin first, then seeds, then the rest of the pickle. And, I have to take apart sandwiches made by someone else and re-do them. I like equal parts meat, veggies, cheese, etc in each bite.

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in? Helping a man shop for lingerie for his manequin he had at home when I worked at Victorias Secret. It was a really weird conversation, to say the least.

3. What is your biggest pet peeve? Ugh god I have SO many. My clothes are color coordinated and organized by sleeve length, I hate when the closet door is left open, when people drive in the fast lane slowly, taking a phone call at a dinner table, I could go on and on really.

hupp0013 · November 2013

@knittylady that does sound like a crazy party.

1. What is something you do that others think is weird/quirky? A habit, a routine, a combination of food you like to eat, etc? I don't like sprinkles which blows DH's mind. I don't mind the sparkly sugar kind, but I really don't like the thicker kinds. I also like eating pickles slices with mustard on them.

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in? Well, the first time I met my in laws was weird. I used to work at a fast food restaurant as the general manager. DH's parents had been bugging him to let them meet me. He put it off because it was hard to get together because we lived about 2 hours apart. They took it upon themselves to drive up a different way to their cabin so they drove through the town I worked in. They ordered their food and I got it ready for them on the tray. They ended up sitting down and eating it. It slowed down and I smoked at the time, so I went outside to have a cigarette. They left about the same time, and as they were crossing the parking lot,asked, "Are you Chris?" They said they were DH's parents and at first I had no idea who they were talking about because I have worked with lots kids with the same name and I thought they were parents of someone who worked for me. It was an awkward situation. When I told DH about it he was really upset with them. They also had told me not to tell him because he would be mad.

3. What is your biggest pet peeve? When people cancel or change plans without a good reason.

1. What is something you do that others think is weird/quirky? A habit, a routine, a combination of food you like to eat, etc?

The clock in my car has to be 13 minutes fast...I could give the reasoning for this, but I think it would make me seem more crazy.

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in? When my brother was in the Air Force I went to visit him in Tampa, we were out at a bar and I was a little drunk and this guy came up to me and said "hey I know you" I was certain he was just hitting on me so I ignored him and then he said "hey, firstname lastname, I know you" it happened to be a guy from my hometown and we graduated together but it took me a while to put that all together. The whole thing freaked me out...but probably because I was drunk.

3. What is your biggest pet peeve? When people are walking in a busy place (mall, amusement part, ect.) and just stop. This drives me CRAZY!

AnnP13 · November 2013

1. What is something you do that others think is weird/quirky? A habit, a routine, a combination of food you like to eat, etc? I don't like to bite into any foods - like sandwiches, apples, etc. I think it is a throwback to when I had braces and was terrified of having 'stuff' stuck in them. So I rip, tear and cut things apart.

2. What is the weirdest situation you've ever found yourself in? The 2nd shooter at my wedding was an ex. Wasn't aware until he walked in that day to shoot - nothing like having your ex take shots of your first kiss!

3. What is your biggest pet peeve? People who talk along with you or try to finish your sentences. Drives. Me. Nuts.
