One thing that drives my husband Eric crazy is that I trim my split ends when I'm bored. I know the job is endless, but it's relaxing somehow! Weird, I know. Do you have any weird habits? :p

One thing that drives my husband Eric crazy is that I trim my split ends when I'm bored. I know the job is endless, but it's relaxing somehow! Weird, I know. Do you have any weird habits? :p
I suck on my pointer finger when I'm upset :p :o
hmm..let's see..not weird but I LOVE listening to music! :D
when i'm in a bad mood i always listen to Best of both worlds and alife is a highway and just act like i'm playing the guitar or something and embarrase my friends its just a habit with any song mostly.
Also i crack my toes a lot.
always have to have my clothes the same theme or soemthing like all blue and white or seomthing like that...
I don't think it's weird, but a co-worker of mine teases me about it all the time.
I wash my hands before and after using the restroom.
I work with a lot of money, raw meat, and other foods at my job and I'd feel disgusting if I did wash before, and especially after.
I probably use the most paper towels out of everyone but hey.. Atleast I'm clean!!
ummm..... I don't think its weird.............
but I can't stand dust, if I probally dust my our house twise a day.
I often crack my knuckles... :rolleyes: :o
Wow, Kay. :eek: I thought I was the only person who did that! Also, I'll only flush a toilet with my foot.
I can fold my ear inside of itself. I do that a lot.
i like to crack my neck. its funny to watch people wince when i do it ;)
i also pick my nose a lot, cuz i cant stand having boogers in my nose...beware your couch when i come over... mwahahahahahah...just kidding :D
I crack my neck and a lot. My spine is crooked and no doctor so far has been able to re-align it, so I live with a lot of pain and stiffness.
I also crack my knees a lot, I have some sort of knee condition too but I can't remember the name.
And I crack my toes and knuckles only because it feels better afterwards.
Not too wierd, but I can't really think of any, I'm sure I have them though.

I crack my toes a lot out of habit, I used to do it when I was little because I couldn't crack my nuckles :p
I only crack my nuckles when they hurt but I do make the motion of cracking my nuckles a lot..
I also like to fold my lip and kind of hold it between my teeth a lot.
Where do I start..... LOL
I often crack my knuckles, especially when I cannot sleep :rolleyes:
My legs are always moving, so I have to put my feet completely on the floor, not just the toes... or...... there they start moving up and down again!! I don't care, but my hubby hates it!
I also have restless legs in bed. I cannot help it, and the more I try to calm down, the worse it gets!! Sometimes it is so bad that I have to move to the spare room...... :o :(
I used to have lots of "ticks" as a kid, like rolling my eyes, shaking my head,and many more. But that is over now :)
I always have to go through the house and make sure everything is unplugged before I can leave... If I am even in the car and driving off, I HAVE to turn around if I think i might have left the dryer running or the iron or something plugged in.
And I have to check the door 3 or 4 times to make sure it locked before I can leave... even if I am down the stairs and to my car... i have to walk back up the stairs and make sure, that I ABSOLUTELY locked the door before I can leave...
****
the toilet paper HAS TO BE rolling towards me. ... if I am at work, a friends, a strangers... I always fix the toilet paper to roll towards me... :o

:eek: me too!!!!!!! No matter where I am, if the paper comes out the other way, I ALWAYS change it !! I thought I was the only one with this weird habit ;)Quote:

He he he...some might call it something else, though. LOL.
When I pump gas, the last number has to be a 0 or a 5. If the pump stops pumping at $32.28, I have to round it up to $32.55 or $33.00, any number is fine so long as the very last digit is a 0 or 5.
My paper money also has to be facing all the same way with the larger denominations in the back.
OK it seems like a lot of us are anal so I will admit to being so also. :) All of the clothes in my closet have to be hanging in the same direction (open or buttoned side to the right). I also sort of line up my sweaters/tops by color. :rolleyes: :o
i love this thread! hehe..Lets see what are my habits? We'll when im nervous i bite my nails, but thats normal. Umm...this is so werid its not even funny! I have to have someone else CUT AN APPLE for me, or else I wont eat it! Don't ask me why! If i cut it, i wont eat it. Wierd Huh? :p :eek:
Well, I just got out of my stupid habit of picking my nails :rolleyes: :p
I loooove to look up at the sun so I will sneeze....
Going to have to give that a try! lolQuote:

I have a front door problem aswell, and generally recheck it a couple of times. The back door is fine because the dogs are in the back end of the house so i know no one is going to get in. I also have to recheck everything electrical before going to bed and turn off everything that is not needed.
Clover has to escort me to the toilet late at night for protection... hehe against what i dont know. But you never know who might be hiding behind the doors :o.
I think i will stop now.
It becomes very clear why I feel so at home here!
You like sneezing? My sister likes the feeling of sneezing. I always either plug my nose so I can't sneeze or I say 'WATERMELON' and I don't sneeze.Quote:

i also crack my neck adn my back and one feet LOL also i turn the paper to roll to me LOL and i though i was weird LOL
i have to count when i am turning on the water in the shower just to see how many number i get until the water pressure is the one i need to take a bath........weird
also when i open a soda bottle for some weird reason i have to blow into it.......before i take a zip......LOL now my kid does that too :rolleyes:
and the most weirdest thing i can think of right now is that i use to stretch.................like a dog!!! LOL (no kidding i´ve always done that since a kid, i even walked/eat/sleep like a dog or any other animal..... :D )
Someone else has to pump the gas to 5 or 0, I have to level off the sound on movies to an even number although in general I don't have a "thing" about any particular number. I actually feel uncomfortable if it's at an odd number.
Although I never double check the doors when I leave, I triple check the front door when I go to bed and only then can I lie down in comfort. I never check through the house when I get home or before I go to bed as I did when I had only one cat because I figure one of my social ferals would indicate if there was something "alien" in the house.
In our staff kitchen at work, I put water in the kettle and pour it out before filling it fresh for my own cup of tea because I hate re-boiled water. The people who simply check that there is water in the kettle and then switch it back on, or use the hot water tap to fill the kettle give me the shudders.
I also have my clothes hanging by colour and type, and facing the same way, but I think of that as good organization. If I want a sleeveless black top, for instanceI, know it's at the front of the row of black tops and I don't have to search through a rack of clothes for one.
Oh good! More people who like the toilet roll with the edge facing them. I don't change it in other places but I do swear at the roll as I fumble to find the edge.
Edited to add that I would run a mile from all you cracking people. When people crack their joints, I feel nauseated and go weak at the knees.
I wrote the book on anal....just ask Gini. :D
1. My bed has to be made every day
2. When I cook, I have to clean up as I go along
3. The kitchen has to be cleaned before I go to bed...however yucky dishes soaking overnight is OK.
4. I must park straight. Even if it takes an extra few minutes, my car has to be centered in the parking stall.
5. When I brush my teeth, I must go from right to left. Left to right doesn't work.
6. I cannot jump into the shower right after getting out of bed. I have to be up for at least an hour before showering otherwise it just doesn't feel right.
7. Just like SP, the gas pump must end in 0 or 5.
8. Just like others, the toilet roll must roll towards me.
I'm sure there are others but that will do for now.
I can not stand when different food touches on my plate. There must be a gap between all food items! My Mom tells me that I have been like that since I started to feed myself! My husband thinks it's the most bizzare thing he's ever seen. He just heaps everything into a big pile on his plate. Makes me nauseaus!
I do head counts on the critters at least twice day, especially the cats. Since Dominique's death, I'm petrified that one of them will get outside without me noticing.
This is probably a very weird habbit...it usualy starts with folding...
When ever I have somthing In my hand and I forget about it or dont notice Ill start tearing up the thing thats in my hand and my friends get annoyed because I have ripped up money a few timed broke some pencils,Bus tickets,Jewlery ect.. so It can be a bad habbit but I just can't help it I have to rip or break it up if I dont notice it lol.
Also I just can't help it when I see a bird in need so I bring it home or phone wild life centre and my parents just agree with it because I do it so many times even if they say no.
One more is when Im mad I give ppl this bad look and my mom gets So angry at me because she says I look freaky but Im so used to this look that I just do it in the middle of no reason lol.
Hmm, I don't have too many "weird" habits, but one is when I'm drinking something with a label, Gatorade, beer (especially beer), pop, etc I ALWAYS rip the label off. :rolleyes:
These first two have been mentioned here already...
When I wake up I sometimes stretch like a dog. Like when they put their butt up in the air. lol I'm weird.
I also don't like any of my food to get mixed up on my plate. I refuse to eat it if it is mixed up some other food.
I don't like it when someone messes up my bed. Even if the comforter is slightly tilted or something, I have to straiten it.
I always pop my fingers and knuckles. I do it many times a day. It just feels good to do it, I'm not sure why though.
I also don't know how to bite my nails. I have never bitten my nails, so I have to continuously be cutting them.
Well, I bite my nails. I eat my food one thing at a time. I wont dip my roll in mashed potatoes or something, it all has to be eaten SEPARATELY! I pop my knuckles occasionally, and especially my knee. I also enjoy listening to my knee squeak :rolleyes:. I absolutely can NOT stand it if something gets in Lily's water or Roxy's water! Even if it's a teeny bit of food I can NOT stand it!
Compared to those who have posted already, I'm fairly *weird habit free*. Maybe it's just that I can't think of any because they all seem normal to me.
One thing that does come to mind is my need to *refold* clean clothes. My husband does the wash and actually has become fairly good at folding the clothes, but because I haven't folded them, I feel compelled to redo them. Mostly I resist this compulsion with his clothes, but not always, and I do tend to almost always refold mine. I try not to let him see me do this. ;)
Other habits of mine....
I squeal loud when I stretch.
I eat a lot of things with mashed potatos bread, veggies, and more...
I eat everything with ketchup and soy sauce even if it doesn't look good with it.
I always crack my spine cuz it feels good and also my toes.
When i drink soda of something in a bottle i always chew on the cap and also take the label off...
Also i chew on the straw and with the foam cup i always bite i from the top and put in it in the cup i do this when i'm done drinking it.
Well, I must be the only perfect person on PT. I have absolutely no
weird habits. :D
Except, I always turn off lights at night in the same order every time and
I do have a habit of looking around for animals anywhere I go.I notice any
and all animals when I driveing, walking, etc. :)
Ooooh, there are so many little things!
I often tap on the table when I'm bored, or find a small fragment of rubber or paper and play football with my fingers:p
I bite the knuckles on my thumbs when I'm thinking
I can make the veins in my feet bulge!(I have bony feet)
I sometimes make clicking sounds of a horse galloping when I'm waiting to do something, although I don't do it a lot
When I'm really bored I make faces in the mirror:p
When I'm nervous, I don't acctually bite my nails, I just stick the ends of my fingers in my mouth. lol
Also a couple other people mentioned this, I always take Sam with me to the bathroom at night, I'm afraid someone will be behind a door or something.
Me too!Quote:
