Yeah, that counts . . . for what, I'm not quite sure . . . but it's got to count for something!!!

I can't wear my glasses when I go to the bathroom. I have no idea why but they bother me (yes, even if I'm only going pee pee). That's weird, right?

I like the kitchen counters to be completely clear..no dishes or canisters of any kind. I do have a chopping board out though. And when I take a shower, I always wash the same parts in the same order. Gosh, I'm starting to sound a little OCD.

Where I work, we wear scrubs. Scrubs are made to be reversible; pockets on inside and outside. I always wear my scrubs right side out (as any right minded person would)! I can't stand it when others don't pay attention and just throw them on, inside out with the tag flapping at the base of their neck. Although I always ask and with permission, I've been known to cut off the flapping tag (with scissors that are always in my pocket)!!!

My towels have to be folded a certain way. If someone folds them differently I'll unfold them and refold them. I've taught my sister this when she was very young and my daughter and they are just like me about thier towels now too. Drives the men (when we have them) in our lives crazy.
My cans of food also has to face forward, and organized together, veggies together, soup, etc. Maybe not quirky but it makes since. My knives in my drawers have to go a certain way and I'm always going back in and fixing them when someone else puts them away.
I always push my chair in when I get up from a table/desk and it drives me crazy when people leave it out. At work I'm always pushing the desk chairs back in out of the way and at a resturant I do the same thing. At a restuarant I stack my dishes and pick up any paper from straws, etc to make it easier for waitress to clean up later. After yrs of programming my kids do the same thing.
I guess that's about it. I think I'm too lazy to be to quirky about to many things. I'm not a neat-nick by any means but when I do something I want it done right or what's the use.
