Soxy Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 So, I thought it might be interesting to have an odd quirks thread--like what do you do that's a little bit eccentric? Here's a few of my picadillos: I have to set my alarm clock for paladromes (or if not possible, odd numbers) My food cannot touch other foods on my plate or I will not eat it I will listen to the same cd for days without changing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KipWellsFan Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 So you'd always set your alarm for like 6:16 or 10:01? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gene Honda Civic Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I'm a terrible car passenger --- I have an overwhelming cumpulsion to open the door while the car is moving. I have to always keep the door locked, and if it's one of those that will open anyways, remind myself not to pull too hard on the lever. -- I'm fine when I'm driving though, I guess it's a control issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no shrink but maybe your compulsion is based on curiousity and would cure itself if you tried it. As for alarm clocks, I like to set the clock I use to wake me up about 5 minutes fast. This sounds silly since I know it's fast, but in the early hours of the morning, it sometimes doesn't register when I first glance at the clock. I can't really say I've accomplished much in my extra five minutes per day yet, although I'm thinking about writing a book (very slowly).

YASNY Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 Here's my quirk. When shampooing my hair, I have to rinse my hands before putting them back in my soapy hair to rinse the hair. Strange but true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That pretty much eliminates you from most drinking games Clock set ahead a few minutes -- check Alarm set for odd times -- check I always have to shampoo first in case the water should go out. I figure hair is the hardest thing to wash outside a shower. The water has never been shut off while I was showering. I always had to make my last basket before quiting, and sink my last putt. When packing for a trip, I always double check from the ground up, these shoes with these socks with these pants, etc. Wallet always in this pocket, keys always in this one. I won't even bore you with my backpack but sufficient to say, everything has a place and in the dark I can immediately find whatever. Took months to get to that state. CDs alphabetical, books by size. OMG, Damn you ChiSoxyGirl, I think I need therapy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel that if I don't do things in a certain order, my whole day's going to be out of whack. I always have my alarm clock time set for 15 minutes ahead of the real time, because it makes me feel a little better thinking I woke up at 8:15 on a particular day, rather than 8:00.

mreye Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 CDs, DVDs, Board Games - Alphabetical Books - I have a large collection of Presidential biographies - They are organized by what number of President they were.

hammerhead johnson Posted January 13, 2005 Share Posted January 13, 2005 I dunno if keeping your music, movies, and books organized is necessarily peculiar. I mean, it's much easier than having to search through a bunch of s*** just to find a particular album or whatever. If it's in alphabetical or chronological order, you know precisely where it is at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
