Strange Quirks

I posted on why I do not like crock-pot cooking several weeks ago. I realized today while talking to a friend it is more than what I posted about. I can't stand to have any of the food sticking up out of the water, whether it is in a crock-pot or a pan on the stove boiling with food in it. I just have to poke the food down under the water. Yes, I know I am odd. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Here are some of my other quirks:
*I have to put both socks on first and then my shoes.
* I can NOT stay in my p.j.'s all day, they have to be off by 8:30 am and back on no earlier than 9:00 p.m.
*Before I start the car, the door is locked, seatbelt and sunglasses are on.
*I HAVE to take a shower EVERY day!
*I eat my food one thing at a time.
*When in the meat department, I have to poke on all the meats. I like the way it feels under the wrap.
*I love the smell of plastic... come on beach balls.
*My drink has to be at the top right of my plate at meal time.

I'm sure I have a few other quirks. If anyone would be willing to share them, I'm game. (I may be asking for trouble... oh well, that's the fun of it)

I have to have a HOT bath every single night. Even during the summer. (So hot that I'm bright red and chapped fromt he tummy down). Also I HAVE to lotion ALL over before I put my clothes on either in the morning or before I put my PJ's on at night. I am little crazy about washing my hands. I think my job has something to do with that, but I have them so dry right now, BUT they are clean!!!

No Amber, I wouldn't say those are quirks like Sharon has. You would be OC (obsessive/compulsive) in my opinion. Scorching hot bath, lotion, constant hand washing!?!?!

Jason,

After talking to Brian last night, maybe I should have re-named the blog, OCD. He informed me that every minute of my day is planned and is never deviated from. And it is the same everyday! Quirks, OCD... it's what makes some of us tick.

Mark,
If you plan every minute of your day and it is the same everyday you have OCD tendencies. Example: I take a shower, blow my nose, put lotion on, clean my ears, brush my teeth, get dressed , make-up, and hair done everyday the same EXACT order EVERY day!

So for example, I get up, turn the water to shave, make my bed, shave, shower, deodorant, ear swabs, contacts, do hair, brush teeth and take my vitamin, EVERY DAY, I have OCD???? You are kidding me.....HEHEHEHEH!!

Mark,

If it is in that SAME ORDER EVERYDAY and if it changes order you begin to panic.... then YES!

I cannot stand it for my fingernails to be any longer than 1/8 of an inch. If so, they're getting cut.
I cannot stand being behind Asian, women drivers on cell phones.
I do not like O.B. tampons.
I absolutely cannot stand touching door handles on the way OUT of a public restroom. I always ball up my shirt sleeve over my hand to open it.
I have to eat all the items on a dinner plate one one item at a time. Ex: All chicken first, then carrots, then the roll. Dessert is ALWAYS last.
I hate it when you flush the toilet while you're still sitting on it and a spray of water gets on your hiney.
I cannot stand dirt under people's finger nails.
I am ALWAYS in the mood for potato salad and shoe shopping.
I cannot stand brussel sprouts, they smell like @$$.
I hate having to pee in airplane restrooms. They're too small and I always feel like I'm going to loose my balance and come crashing through the "accordian" door onto those in seat 26B.
I cannot stand it when people don't use wash cloths to bathe. How do you people clean your "privates" with your hands. Ugh!
I must always have lotion on my hands, otherwise they're too dry.
Every night before bed I have to put lotion on both of my feet.
I cannot stand it when my husband grinds his teeth at night. It sounds like he's chewing on icecubes.
Shopping cart handles--EWWW!
Don't like waiters who ADD money to their tip on a credit card receipt AFTER I've already signed it. (Yes, this has happened twice to me.)
I cannot stand the smell of a bathroom cleaned with PineSol.
If it's not -30F, I'm not wearing a coat.
I hate to see people picking their nose while driving.
I can't stand it when people in a checkout line talk on their cell phone during the whole transaction with the cashier clerk.
If there is more than one poopy diaper in the trash can it has to be taken out.
Eating chicken nuggets in the car, does not necessitate a $14 carwash (JASON)
