GTKY- weird things

bookqueen · June 2015

Because I'm bored and procrastinating, tell me some strange things!

Weird habits, superstitions, random useless facts, anything!!

bookqueen · June 2015

Not totally weird, but I just added a "countdown to 2nd tri" bit on my Dreamdays app, lol.

MrsJG3 · June 2015

I can't stand odd numbers. Except the number 5. For some reason it doesn't seem that odd? OCD but true.

I am also weird about the TV volume! Glad to know I am not the only one lol! I am also weird about the total when I buy gas. Has to be even or end in a 5.

I have OCD when I eat, have to eat smallest to largest... Mostly when it's like a pile of things like fries or chips.

Sprinkles07 · June 2015

When dh goes out of town I have to check all the door locks and window locks like 3 times before I got to bed. Then i also check under my bed for... Um zombies?

Gif fail

MrsJG3 · June 2015

Still working on gifs...

mrs3615 · June 2015

I do things in patterns of fives: when I fold laundry, I fold five things and then put them away. When I put dishes away, sometimes I'll do 5 dishes then have water. It's super weird and DH teases me all the time! He will say "I can SEE you counting to five!!"

jennymack79 · June 2015

I make lists. For everything. And I break tasks down into their smallest pieces so I can put each of the things on my list and then mark them off. And I'll even put lists on my lists, like "Make grocery list" goes on my to-do list. My mom told me when I was a kid I would go through the neighborhood directory and make a list of everybody I knew. I really like crossing things off my list.

This is me with clicking the car door locked. I will stop in my tracks, turn around a few steps and get one more click in.

bookqueen · June 2015

Hahaha I love all of these!! I need to go think of more!

tigerfish227 · June 2015

Any assorted candy like skittles, m&ms whatever... I have to sort them out into color groups (like so many of each color) then I eat the extra colors starting with the one with the most until they are all even then eat them all in groups with 1 of each color till they are gone. It seriously bugs me if I can't do this so I usually avoid any of this type of candy if I'm at the movies or somewhere similarly dark.

AggieKim · June 2015

I have fake boobs. Got them in 2006. I am a huge World of Warcraft player. I wrote a novel length fantasy story last year for fun. I'm pretty sure my husband has managed to throw away all of our forks by accident and until I get new ones, we have to use plastic. I used to fantasize that the noises in the ceiling were the FBI hiding in my attic.

Edited because I can't watch tv and type at the same time.

britsknits11 · June 2015

@tigerfish227 I thought I was the only one who did that and I mean EXACTLY that! My sister thinks I'm absolutely nuts lol now I get to tell her I'm not alone haha.

I do the same thing!!! Smarties drive me crazy because they don't pair well.

I do this expect with the number 6,

My food can't touch or I won't eat the bits that touch other food.

I do this too.

bookqueen · June 2015

I used to do that with candy, but now for skittles I have to eat two at a time. And they have to be different flavors!

bookqueen · June 2015

And I'm also really pissed that they changed the lime ones to Apple!!!

I just hate apple flavored candy

I can't get fruity candy for the theater unless it doesn't have apple so that I don't get unpleasant surprises!

Oh, and I have to always bring two kind of snacks into a movie. They can't be the same type of snack. So no two sweet snacks, can't both be salty, or can't both be sour.

i'm this way about the number 3! a little obsessed with it actually...DH teases me all the time! i even do the volume on the tv in multiples of three! lol

also, i'm absolutely terrified of frogs...like i'll involuntarily scream/hyperventilate and run if i see one.

and i pee whenever someone tickles me...full on pee...wasn't so fun when i was growing up and my brother would use it as a party trick to make his friends laugh!

jjdale288 · June 2015

I am obsessed with lists. Makes me feel good crossing things off ☺. I also can say the alphabet faster backwards than forwards.

LMMama · June 2015

Whenever I go to bed alone at night I always leave lights on in two rooms. So it looks like someone is home and awake to deter intruders.

All you tv volume people, my BF is the same way! It has to be on a 5 count number. 20, 25, 30. No in between. Drives me nuts!

MrsJ2522 · June 2015

If I'm ever eating M&Ms, I take two and try to squeeze them together to see which one cracks first. The one that cracks I eat and the winner lives to try again!

mayamoo · June 2015

I don't like my food to touch either. I also have to sleep with my feet outside of the covers. the sheet needs to be folded over the top to make a smooth cool edge where my feet hang out and also at the top of the covers, the sheet needs to be folded over. My DH hates this for some reason so our bed looks pretty crazy.

NutMeg474 · June 2015

Yassss I love this thread. I don't like for my food to touch and I have to eat through one kind of food on my plate before moving on to the next. So, I'd have to eat all the steak I wanted from my plate before having any of the potatoes on my plate. Also- the 2nd and 3rd toes on both of my feet are webbed (apparently my great aunt's toes were like that, too). I totally thought that's what people's toes looked like for the longest time!

I do the same thing! I also make flowers out of them till I can't... I don't usually eat candy in the dark as a general rule (always eat more than you want)

In actually excited about that. Sorry not sorry! Lol!

Also, I do the m&m thing seeing which one cracks first but sometimes I try to see if I can peel the candy shell off without messing up the chocolate.

I love seeing that some of my quirks are shared by others. :x

I think we may be twins. Seriously, both of these things.

MrsJG3 · June 2015

I love all things personalized or monogrammed. Towels, anywhere chairs, pool bags you name it. I don't fully indulge bc there would probably be names on everything and well then people would think I was crazy. Imagine that.

Oh yeah, you're totes an underwear labeller! All seven days of the week, right?

AggieKim · June 2015

Because I in the 5 seconds I looked I couldn't find a gif...

Sally Albright: Yes. They had the days of the week on them, and I thought they were sort of funny. And then one day Sheldon says to me, "You never wear Sunday." It was all suspicious. Where was Sunday? Where had I left Sunday? And I told him, and he didn't believe me.

Harry Burns: What?

Sally Albright: They don't make Sunday.

Harry Burns: Why not?

Sally Albright: Because of God.
