At work I write everything in pencil; It's easier to change things.
I also don't like when my food touches on the plate
Whenever we go out to eat and my meal comes with fries, I eat all of my fries and will take half of my sandwich/burger home. Fries are not good reheated.
There are certain things that have to be folded certain ways otherwise I can't take it.
I have to shake to straighten and then lay each piece of laundry on top of the dryer as the load gets done drying. Undies and socks go in a separate basket from the clothes.
I have misophonia, so I can't handle hearing people chew, repeated noises, etc. plus, DH is SO loud, and it drives me batty.
Specks on mirrors/faucets make me go insane.
The house has to be completely clean for me to go to bed.
I HATE clutter.
I'm a hippie when it comes to some things (I organic garden, use oils instead of meds for some things....)
@pillowdrunk I'm the same way with the kitchen. I can't cook in a dirty kitchen. I have to wash all the dishes before I start cleaning. And I also immediately change clothes when I get home from work. I need to be comfortable.
- I also save the tastiest food on my plate for last (this sucked as a kid because then i'd get full on the not good stuff). and sort my candy by colour - but will eat in a rotation. - My socks ALWAYS have to match, and sit at the same height on my ankles. If one sags or something it drives me nuts. - if I'm wearing my glasses I super clean them - i can't stand smudges or spots (I wear contacts more often). - I cannot sleep wearing socks. - Despite the convenience of tapping my credit card to pay for things, I prefer using the CHIP.

You are more than welcome to come clean, er hang out at my house whenever you want.
I never travel with a used toothbrush. I feel like there is no sanitary way to do it. I pack new toothbrushes for trips. If I am staying in multiple locations, I bring that many unopened toothbrushes.
I rinse EVERYTHING before loading the dishwasher. I have had 2 different roommates and one husband empty a dirty dishwasher thinking it was clean.
I often alphabetize books out of order in bookstores and libraries.

Deal....once I'm not nauseous and exhausted at all hours

- I vacuum when I'm stressed or angry. Something about the neat lines in the carpet calms me. - I can't sleep in a bed that hasn't been made. I will literally make the bed just so I can turn it down to sleep in it. - I also don't like my food to touch and eat it from least favorite to favorite. - I can't visit slobby friends. I've been caught on more than one occasion cleaning when they step out of the room. I once got kicked out of my husband's friends house because he caught me mopping his bathroom and was insulted that I thought it needed mopping. I can't control myself. There are lots more but that's enough for now lol.
-I can't eat candy the normal way, I have to eat it in specific layers (ex: milky way-Chocolate on the sides first, bottom,the insides, caramel, and finally the big piece of chocolate at the top.).
-I don't take elevators unless they are in a very big/busy building. (absolutely no parking lot elevators)
-I can't have an open glass of water at my bedside table, it has to be a bottle or a kids sippy cup. I also can't go to sleep or anywhere for that matter without a water bottle.
-I also have to always sleep with a sheet, no matter how hot it is.
-I can't handle bugs of any kind. Even ants give me huge anxiety.
-I don't like pb or mayo or pickles or seafood, lol.
-I only eat peanuts with string cheese.
-I have to sleep with a pillow between my knees ever since my first pregnancy.
I hate soggy cereal, I usually hold my cereal bowl at a totally odd angle to keep the milk at the bottom and the cereal at the top of the angle and just push it down into the milk as i eat it. Soggy cereal simply isnt going to be eaten.
I cannot fall asleep without some kind of sound playing, usually the TV. Its okay if its turned off after I go to sleep but i will never fall asleep in pitch black and dead silence. I circumstantially had to do it once this summer for the first time ever and I had to seriously mentally prepare myself and talk myself into it with a lot of meditative type techniques. I woke up like every half hour.
I prefer to wear some kind of long sleeves, even in the heat of summer. I have many almost see through black little jackets/sweaters. I will only go sweaterless if its seriously seriously hot and i am going to be in direct sunlight.
I will pretty much walk through anything barefoot. I walked miles barefoot as a kid (by choice) and its just never been an issue to me. My husband yells at me all the time that i go into the basement with nothing on my feet.
I mentally process things at an extremely fast rate and often speak faster than my mouth can keep up with and get tongue tied. I usually don't notice it but can get really frustrated when people leave long pauses to answer a question because i believe that i perceive it as being longer than it actually is. I also have been asked to slow down or had it commented on how fast i speak more times than i can count.
Atleast once a day, i get upset/affected/bothered about random things that happened 10+ years ago.
Also things I blame my parents for.....
I point with my middle finger
I have no natural instinct to clean, do laundry, dishes or anything like that. So i constantly have to remind myself and stress about it because it does not come naturally as i was never taught or asked to do these things growing up.
-I have to sleep with two pillows (one under my head and hugging the other ) pregnant or not -I can't leave the house without wearing eyeliner -I won't get up to do anything if there's a kitty in my lap

Both of these things. I hate wearing shoes and go outside barefoot all the time. Our kids are the same way and DH calls us insane and the talking way fast....yup.
I can't eat meat and bread together. No burgers or sandwiches for me. (But I eat the fire out of bread and meat as long as they aren't together) I can only sleep in pitch black and total silence. (My husband snores so I don't sleep much)
I am obsessed with Nashville Predators Hockey.
The sounds of people chewing make me want to get violent.
I am the pickiest eater in the world. I survive mostly on spaghetti, pizza, and multivitamins.
If my husband is out of town, I have to go to every door and double/ triple check that it's locked.
When I had a radio alarm clock, I would check it at least three times to make sure it was set.
I can't stand the smell of coffee or the taste of it. I blame my parents for this. I used to get carsick, so they kept an empty Folgers can in the back for me to to use.
@umhassoon if kitty is sleeping...I'm sleeping. So precious.
Begging DH for a kitten during pregnancy to keep me company but he says absolutely no since the doctor said no cat litter near me. seriously...cat sleeping or purring near me = instant stress reliever.
@cattlebride right there with you on being late. I am early to everything. DH gets a kick out of this. Especially since his family runs late all the time.
I change my underwear a lot.... Like several times a day. I can't stand pulling up wet underwear after going to the bathroom. I even keep an extra pair in my back pack and purse... Just in case.
- I don't like mayonnaise, chocolate, celery, ice cream, coffee or alcohol of any kind.
- I used to hate cheesecake but began to crave it during my second pregnancy and now I love it.
- Same with movie theater popcorn, used to hate it but craved it with my first pregnancy and now I love it.
- I don't like any sort of seafood except for shrimp and tuna fish, but only tuna fish from a can or pouch...no tuna steaks.

@MamaNicoleof3 Yes, I did! I still get that look when people hear that I don't like ice cream, chocolate, coffee or alcohol. I figure the fewer "bad things" I like, the better. Because I could drink Olive Garden Alfredo sauce with a straw and could eat my weight in bread and butter.

-I'm a diagnosed hypochondriac. I'm not on my (anxiety) medication while preg and I have recently diagnosed myself with lung cancer and heart disease. Even tho I JUST had an echo, halter, and EKG last week that came back fine. I'm going back to the dr monday bc I don't believe them. Yeah I'm crazy. -I cannot drink water if it's been shaken up.

Re: GTKY quirks!!
Ok, I can get behind that. I was picturing a pile of corn with a dollop of mayo on it. Thank you for enlightening me lol
Only I am allowed to fold laundry.

but now i'm stumped on my own quirks.
- I also save the tastiest food on my plate for last (this sucked as a kid because then i'd get full on the not good stuff). and sort my candy by colour - but will eat in a rotation.
- My socks ALWAYS have to match, and sit at the same height on my ankles. If one sags or something it drives me nuts.
- if I'm wearing my glasses I super clean them - i can't stand smudges or spots (I wear contacts more often).
- I cannot sleep wearing socks.
- Despite the convenience of tapping my credit card to pay for things, I prefer using the CHIP.
I also can't drink cold water.
Room temperature water for me.
- My food cannot touch or it grosses me out, it fascinates my in-laws
- I sleep with my baby blanket rolled up under my pillow.... I'm super mature.
- I have to have a nail file, Burts Bees, and a hair tie with me at all times
- Clutter is the death of me. I'm teaching DH to be a minimalist. It's awesome.
- Baked cheese and baked pasta is disgusting. Neither is meant to be crunchy and it's awful.
I can't sleep with our bedroom door open or in an open space, freaks me out man!
My kitchen always has to be clean. The rest of the house can be messy, but I will have anxiety if the kitchen is dirty. No idea why.
At 26, I still run like a bat outta hell if I turn the basement lights off. Ain't nobody got time to get murdered!
I was going to say something about my extreme impatience, but pretty sure that's a flaw not a quirk, lol.

I have to have a fan or something going on when I sleep. It can't be quiet because I'm such a lite sleeper.
It has to be cold at night or I can't sleep very well.

- I enjoy making budgets even if I find out I have no money because putting things in boxes calms me down.
- I'm really not a fan of potatoes no matter how much people say they're awesome. That includes french fries and chips.
- I get really angry at people who dry themselves outside of the shower and make the floor all wet.
- I've had panic attacks about parallel parking.

I'm a super picky eater.
When I was in school I did my math homework last to reward myself for finishing the rest of my homework.
I eat my food from least favorite to most delicious.
I like Christmas, probably a little too much.
The only time I've ever had poison ivy, I got it when I was snow skiing.
