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.

I use a wadded up blanket for a pillow, instead of a pillow. And if I don't set something down "right" I have to re-do it. Like...okay trying to give an example...uh...if I set down a glass, and half of the glass touches the table first instead of the whole bottom I pick it up and do it again.

Ok wow....I'm a nut job. Please don't call CPS on me! :P
 
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.
 
I can't relax. Pretty much EVER. I am like the Tasmanian devil running around all the time. At work I freak people out because I move like everything is an emergency (started as a weight loss technique and stuck). There are about 4 of us at the office that everyone watches out for so no coffee is spilled. At home my son tells me "mommy SIT DOWN!"

I keep my cell phone (only phone) turned down all day. I may have a 2 hour period where I can hear it ring, but other than that it's silent. I periodically check it to see if I've missed a call and then decide what to do about it. More than likely I leave the VM's and check them the next day. God forbid there were an emergency.

When someone has real long nails (real as in, not fake) it grosses me out. Too many horror shows where they are snapped off. I can't get the image out of my head.

Ugh, too many more to even bother with. I'm an oddball and if my hair is up and some twisps are down~ NO WAY, has got to be fixed. That's normal, right?


EDIT I second The Cass on the money being lined up thing, and Des on the foot thing. When I have a pedicure and they try to do they massage part~ I opt out every time. No way. Drives me crazy. Oh, and I hate being touched by strangers (meaning massages are not great) and I can't drink coffee if there are not ice cubes in it. Same with tea. No hot drinks. Grosses me out.

WOW, I keep getting weirder and weirder. Thanks for asking this question and bringing it to my attention :P

EDIT AGAIN Oh, Melyssa brought up hair. I shave all of mine up minus my head and eye brows. Having hair on me makes me feel gross. YET I sometimes don't have time to shave my legs and I sit around grossed out the whole day, dreaming of the shower/shave ritual. *Sigh* I'm only getting worse here.

*the cooking show thing is normal. Sometimes I walk around my house and pretend I'm on a reality show.
