We used to do that in high school, at least until one of my best friends did it while she was driving and set her rear view mirror flying!!!Quote:

Superstitions:
hmm... well, I do believe in Karma, I guess that could qualify as a superstition
Quirks:
-I HATE when people assume they understand what I'm saying, and then get it all wrong. If you aren't sure, ASK ME!!
-I also don't like things tight around my neck
-I don't like when people interrupt.. it's SO RUDE
-I have road rage. It's not pretty. There is a lot of swearing invloved. :o
-I can't sleep if my legs get too hot.
-I make lists for EVERYTHING
I'm sure there are more.. ask my friends hehehe ;)
Fetishes:
I don't know that I really have any. The word fetish has bad connotations for me. However, I have a strong liking for shoes, chocolate, toys for the cats, shopping.
Superstitions:
Even though I don't really believe in it, I always touch wood. It's like I do it "just in case" :) I also have to check the door locks and trunk on my car every time I park it for the night. When I get an itchy nose, I always think "I have to kiss the fool!" but I never do.
Quirks:
Men with half-unbuttoned shirts in public
People that suck their teeth (Sam Champion on Channel 7 does it and it drives me bananas!)
Inarticulate newcasters in general
Tailgaters!
Fetishes (obsessions?:p )
Counting things
My cats!!
My lab bench, but not my kitchen, must be in military order. Go figure.
NO ONE HAD BETTER TOUCH MY DESK!!;) :p
Superstitions
Don't ever say a test method is successful until it's written up.
Knocking wood
I don't know if you'd call it a quirk but I am very particular about the way laundry items are folded. My husband is now retired and has picked the laundry as one of the chores for him to do. Much of the time I will refold what he has already folded because he didn't do it right . I will say, however that he is learning. He used to fold my towels in half from top to bottom. At least now he does it from side to side. Now if I could just get him to fold them in thirds from side to side instead of in half. I also have to refold his undershirts, even though they go in his drawer and he wears them. Just knowing they are in the laundry basket folded in a haphazard way makes me crazy.
I am pretty much the same way with cleaning. If you don't clean the way I clean, I have to redo it. Obviously if you take 20 minutes to clean something that it takes me an hour to do, you must have cut far too many corners.
I agree with most of the public restroom statements that have been made here, with the exception of those of you who don't sit down on the seat. It is my contention that you are the ones who leave the wet spots on the seat.
As for sleeping arrangements, the *stay on your side of the bed* (men are like ovens) applies for me as well, with the exception of my Tucker, who is the only guy I can have cuddled up next to me when I sleep. Also I cannot fall asleep unless I have talk radio on.
I am the same way... at work my desk & working areas are spotless & completely organized... At home, my room & desk are chaos :rolleyes:Quote:

told mom, "get your stuff together, i'll take you there....."
load up the truck and get to mom's house....
what are you doing??
"ah folding the laundry"
"Ma, why fold when you are going to put it in the washer????"
"i don't want anyone to see my dirty laundry all wrinkled up"
now, why does that amaze me when i know she irons her pajamas??????
Quirks:
I can't stand it when people interupt me when I'm talking. My friends know it too, when they do it they know to stop because I get an evil look in my eye. :rolleyes:
I hate alot of foods. But mostly seafood. Anything fish, even tuna, I can't stand it!
I chew my nails.
I'm constantly peeling the split ends on my hair :o
When people don't take no for an answer. I said no!! Shuddup!!!
I'm a big pushover...Pretty much anyone can get whatever they want out of me..Unless it's a secret I'm not supposed to tell...good at keeping those..
I do stupid things when I'm bored. I'll sit there and scrape the plaque off my teeth, chew on the inside of my cheek, chew on my lips, make stupid noises, re-apply my makeup over and over, crack every bone in my body, that sort of thing..
Fetishes:
Dogs, rats, and wolves. Gotta stop buying things that have dogs, rats and wolves.
Superstitions:
I have to tap my tooth brush on the counter four times after I use it. I have no clue why, Ive done it since I had teeth to brush.
I always have to write my name on my test before I look at anything else.
I can't curse an animal that is the kind I want, or else I might not get it..lol..
I have my animal piggy bank turned to the dog side, and it can't be on any other side, because a dog is what I want most out of all the other animals on my piggy bank.
LOL I was doing that after we hung up yesterday. I started scraping the plaque...then making noises for Kai then more makeup LOL..crazy :DQuote:

Atleast you got to hear my crazy Timber..She knocked me over lol
Quirks: Just two that I can think of right now. I can't stand to look at someone on a roof or high up on a ladder. I am afraid they will slip and I will actually see them fall! :eek: I was once stopped at a light and they were replacing a roof right there on the side of the street I was on. I could hardly wait for that light to change so I could get outta there!
Like Cookiebaker, I hate public bathrooms and use a paper towel when touching door knobs, etc. Actually I try to never even use a public bathroom unless absolutely necessary!
No fetishes or superstitions that I can think of. Pretty boring person, huh? :)
Ah..I have a stupid one..I can't drink something if there is little floatys in it..A little crumb..I won't drink it..I always check my glasses before using one..its sad..
Chewing...and particularly "clacking" gum and public nail clipping should be capital crimes....
Men (and yes it is always men) who drive down the road with the right arm draped over the back of the seat (would it be the left arm in the UK?) should be beaten with sticks...
and hair playing...scrunch, unscrunch, pull back. flip forward...get a style that works and leave it alone!
I not fussy about washrooms....I'm careful not to pee on the seat nor touch it with any but the flesh of my thighs...I wash my hands so I'm not real worried but I will NOT stand in line...either to eat or to pee.
Reading is my tranquilizer (which obviously....based on the rant above ...I need) and I must do it before going to sleep.
And I knock wood (including my head) and toss spilt salt over my left shoulder but more from tradition than superstition!
This is fun! And it gives one a lot more insight into all of you! :)
My biggest "pet peeve" or quirk has to be lines, of any kind. I don't like standing in line (I'm a very impatient person), and that includes lines to eat, lines to the movies, traffic jams, etc.
I also hate it when people make a lot of noise when they eat or chew with their mouth open, or God forbid, talk with food in their mouth!
I hate brocolli.......raw, cooked, whatever.
I hate liars of any type. Tell the truth and get it overwith!
Telemarketers drive me crazy......I feel sorry for them if this is the only work they can find, but please don't call me!
To be such a messy person (I am, by nature, messy, but I love things to be straight :o ), it drives me crazy for the floor to need vacuuming or swept. I have to stop everything and do it right that second, and I also can't stand to see dust on anything, especially at someone else's house!
One more......uncut grass. Grass is meant to be cut!!!! :)
My fetishes:
I love to read and am gullible when it comes to buying books. I have many that are waiting for me to be read!
I love shoes......have way more than I can ever wear.
I love pets.....that goes without saying!!
And I am a sucker for plants of any kind. I just don't always get them into the ground in time, which is sad! My husband is learning to cringe whenever we pass a garden shop or greenhouse because he knows I will want to stop there!!!
I really don't have any superstitions other than that I like to have the closet doors closed when I sleep!
Another quirk:
I can't eat the pithy, stringy bits on a banana, I just hate looking at it. If I eat a banana, I have to peel it and remove the pith first.
I do that with mandarines and oranges!!!!Quote:
