just bored.. tell me I'm not weird and that you all have weird things you do a lot too. elaborate. or if you don't, make something up so I feel better about myself :P

I am obsessive when it comes to recycling. I also always have to sleep on my right side with this one pillow and another specific pillow between my knees. if my hair is up, every single bit of it must be up or it bothers me and I'm playing with it all the time. I still don't answer calls after 8pm because my mom told me that meant the other person had bad manners!

what do you *do* that's weird to other people?
you guys are WEIRD. lol, just kidding. I actually asked this question and had a lot more examples of my weirdness, which were deleted. I'll share. I pretend sometimes that I'm on a cooking show when I'm making meals. I make sure that the forks, spoons and knives are all lined up perfectly in the silverware drawer. I organize my refrigerator. I triple check anything I do when I'm driving -- I check my mirrors 3 times, I look over my shoulder 3 times if I'm switching lanes, I drive like 100 yards behind someone on the highway... I highlight writing on the computer when I'm reading it with the mouse...all the time.

whew, that felt good.

Before I lost my hearing I could play on the piano anything anyone played for me after hearing it once. Like a recording. Dumb dog and pony trick, really, but it's won me a lot of bets. I can't read music, nor can I come up with anything new or creative on the piano. Just can mimic anyone else's playing.

But...I can't do it anymore. Anything I can play now I heard before 2000.

Considering replacing that with Callum's suggestion.
 
hmm.. well I cant stand hair on my fingers ( on the area between the knuckle and the first bendy part.. lol so scientific.. ) anyways, since i was in pre-teens I have tweezered the hair off. I just sit and pull the hairs off with my tweezer like once or twice a week while I watch tv etc.. Now I see my 4 y old daughter doing it too ( well she doesnt pull the hair out but she puts the tweezers on her fingers..sigh...:) ) I could wax it but I like doing it with tweezers.
I always start sleeping on my left side but most nights wake up on my rightside. but I cant fall asleep on my right side, it just feels wrong
English is not my first language but I have used it as such for the past 10 years, I think in english and so on but if I have to count really fast or count by twos or 5's etc I always do it in my first language, its a bit faster, I could do it just fine in english but I just automatically switch languages when it comes to counting fast or by groups.
 
I have to wash my feet before I go to bed....I can't stand going to bed with unwashed feet. It just grosses me out.

When we first moved into this house my favorite seat was at an angle so when I watched TV I had to turn my head weird. Now we have the couch moved right in front of the TV so when ever I sit down to watch it I still turn my head at a weird angle.

I have to have all the the cash in my wallet lined up the same way.
 
don't ever touch my feet. i reserve the right to kick you. i cannot stand it even if it's a foot massage or somebody accidentally bumped me or something.

also absolutely cannot abide white noise of any kind. if you want to put me in a terrible mood, turn the oven fan on high for ten minutes. if you want to completely incapacitate me, vacuum the house.

there you go, those of you who can't stand me: now you can actually bring me down.


*i also hum when i'm out of the house. i rarely notice i'm doing it until i realize somebody's staring at me.
