I also eat around.. I don't know if I have any quirky habits anymore. Mostly there is not much I think is that important anymore except maybe the toilet paper. gotta roll down the front and yes I have changed it for others so it was right! lol
I had a friend though that I loved messing with. She set all her supplement bottles on her dresser lined up by size , height and all the labels faced out perfectly.(i moved them everytime ) She also separated her clean money and her dirty money. Even after 15 yrs she hasn't really lived that one down.

I don't think my habits are quirky, as every one has a very good reason behind it. :) Here are a few that dh thinks is weird . . . but I know most of you will understand!

I have my own tube of toothpaste. Reason - it grosses me out, to find the toothpaste left open . . . or worse, WET, under the cap!

I have my own set of tools. If you borrow them, you'd better ask first, return them CLEAN and to the exact spot you found them!

My clothes hamper is MINE. Put your dirty clothes into your own hamper . . . and you'd BETTER not hang your wet towel over mine!!!!! :mad:

I'm another, whose pillow is strictly off-limits to sharing and TP must roll off, from the top.

Well now I'm beginning to feel pretty sane. I also count everything. Steps, times I shake a bottle, clothing as I put it away...Hate soggy bread-won't eat it and also tilt my plate. Most of the time I just fold up a napkin and put it on my plate like a dam between soggy area and other food. I wish I couldn't leave the house till beds are made and the dishes done. But then I might never leave the house!

I thought of another one. Jan you may enjoy this! Once I put ice cubes in my cup with soda or water or... I have to stir the cup so everything gets cold evenly.

When I play cards, I have to straighten the discard pile all the time to keep it neat.

If anyone writes on a paper that I'm writing on, I have to start all over on a new sheet.

I also don't answer the phone when I don't want to, even if it's my kids! I figure the phone is there as a convenience to me, not to make me a slave to it.

When my daughter was young, she wouldn't let any food touch another on her plate also. So the spaghetti sauce was separate from the noodles, the curry separate from the rice, no topping on ice cream. And heaven forbid if anyone put condiments on a sandwich! I finally got her to eat food on top of rice or noodles. However she won't eat salad at all because you have to put dressing on it, still doesn't eat condiments on sandwiches. BTW she is 32. Now she has a daughter who won't eat vegetables, fruit or most meats. I say it is karma!

I wish I was more orderly and neat than I am. I'd rather quilt. That doesn't stop me from stressing all the time when I see messes, stacks etc!

from what I've read already for what has posted, they fit me too.

also...........your little by-line about your rope and horse. I bought this sign at "Runnings" (a farm fleet type store) and it hangs at my desk. But it says, I'm so BUSY that I DON'T KNOW IF i FOUND A ROPE OR LOST MY HORSE.

I cannot stand it if the bed's top sheet on the bed is folded or pushed under the blankets, at all. Seriously, the top sheet must cover the blankets, comforter, whatever! It will wake me up when my DH shoves the sheet down and just pulls up the spread. Summertime is the worst!

My biggest quirk is that I cannot stand to have music playing somewhere while the t.v. is on. Or two different sets of music going at the same time anywhere! Driving is fine but once I stop and my windows are down, I've been known to CRANK Vivaldi to drown out someone else's nasty music or rap-crap. Can't sleep with music on either! My brain just has to pay attention to it and will NOT shut down.

I like the toilet paper on the roll so it comes from the top, bills should face the right way, I wish dh would keep his hands off my tools since he doesn't have the slightest urge to take care of what he uses or replace it where he found it. Can't stand looking at a sliced tomato or anything else with slushy seeds in it, though I will eat precut/seeds removed cantalope. Hate talking on the phone. Will spend hours working on a design, then go to sleep and dream about making it step by step by step, when I get up, I'm already tired of it. Won't give a darn about the cost on some items and be cheap as heck about spending on others.

When I go grocery shopping I have to park in the row straight out from the exit. Imagine the problem I had when I went into a new to me store and did not realize they had 2 exits!

Beds must be made daily or sheets have to be changed. Dishwasher must be loaded from the back to the front.

I want all the mail opened with my letter opener before I deal with anything in the envelopes. And - I stack them largest to smallest before doing that.

Before going to bed I have to brush my teeth (normal), put lotion on my hands and brush my hair. DH cannot understand why I want to brush my hair before getting in bed. I don't have long hair, but just seems right to brush it before getting into bed. Always have to have a Koozie on my can of diet coke - keeps my hands dry for stitching. Eat my corn on the cob length-wise. Love reading this post!
