What are your phobias and habits

[Twisterdog]

I hate ladders. I can go up, but I don't like to go down. And to go from a ladder to the roof, then back to the ladder? NEVER would I be able to do that!

I don't mind heights if there is a railing ... like a damn or an observation tower. But a cliff or a roof edge freaks me out. And I HATE it when people goof around on high places, like putting their leg over the railing or pretending they are going to jump. I SCREAM at people who do that.

As for weird habits ...

I always try to eat the middle of something last. I don't think that's weird at all, it's just saving the best for last.

I can't drink anything with sugar in it ... it makes my teeth feel funny and drives me crazy.

I MUST wear socks ALL the time. The only time I don't have socks on is in the shower, literally.

I MUST have lip balm and lotion on at all times.

I cannot sleep without a fan going, for the white noise. And I have to sleep with a pillow between my knees ... but I have a messed-up knee, so that's more medical then quirky, I guess.

This is me all over. I absolutely freak when someone is goofing off in high places. I have been known to drag said person back from the edge all the while screaming and slapping them in the head!!!

can't stand wrinkles in my sheets or socks.

This one is so me to when it comes to the socks. If by chance a wrinkle develops in my sock while walking no matter where I am the shoe comes off so I can straigthen the wrinkle. Same thing goes for pebbles and they can be as tiny as a speck but they have to come out of my shoe or I will simply go mad!!

I feel you! totally! lol.

talking about even numbers, I remember I mentioned about it somewhere else.. I'll have to go and find it.. a thread of habits/tendencies?

edit ~ obsessions and loves too - different from this thread but I thought I'd put it in here for whoever had missed it, it's fun to read too!

I know I have so many weird habits, but now that I have to think of them, I don't come upwith many.

I eat burgers from the outside in, and I leave the middle part of hot dogs for the end. I try not to do it in public, though.

I always feel the need to close the little window that pops up when someone on MSN gets online. It doesn't matter if I'm not on the computer, if I'm close to it and se that it appears, I need to go and close it.

Wherever there's a mirrow, I will always look at myself. It's not that I'm obsessed with my image or anything, I just can't help looking.

I can't sleep if I'm not hugging my pillow

And as for fears, I think one of my biggest ones is elevators. I use them when I don't have another option, but I start getting anxious when they get too long to open the door.

I'm also a bit afraid of swimming in the sea, it has to be really really calm for me to get into it.

I totally hate jellyfish, spiders and bees.

Zara, I also hate answering the phone.
