Won't there be more dishes after you have eaten supper?

That's why it's quirky! I think it evolved from my first marriage. I hated to do dishes and didn't have very many so I couldn't put supper on the table until I washed dishes or the skillet/pot I needed would be buried at the bottom of the sink so I would have to wash dishes before I could start supper.

I have to make sure everything is straight, salt and pepper shakers lined up, etc. Even in stores I tend to put things in the correct order after folks have mess them up. My husband calls me the female Monk.

If these are quirky things, then I have them too! I just thought they are common sense things (like the eggs and labels facing out). I have so many more; too long a list!

Right now I can only think of one quirky habit and that is I squeeze the toothpaste in my mouth and not on a brush. I am also a neat freak.

I also have a lot of the ones mentioned, the egg carton thing, my money has to all be facing the same, right side up, and in order from smaller to larger bills! The only one I have that hasn't been mentioned is that I have to have the spoon in my coffee cup, not just to stir, but I keep it in there while I drink the whole cup. I hold the handle of the spoon back when I take sips. My mama said that is exactly what my grandmother did, and I wasn't raised around her. Also, I like to stand and eat at the kitchen counter instead of sitting down!

Clutter drives me nuts. I have 9 people, 4 dogs, and 5 cats in my home currently. I am currently a completely INSANE person

how about if i list my dh's quirks instead? couldn't we each fill a page with those?!! my worst quirk, which to me makes perfect sense!, is to put little pieces of trash, candy wrapper, peach pit, return envelope from junk mail, etc, in a dish or cup that's going back to the kitchen. the idea is, when i get to the kitchen i will throw away the trash and put the dish in the sink. but the reality is (don't tell anyone i admitted this!) i usually get distracted and just leave it on the counter. somehow, this totally derails all the men in my life and they can't figure out what to do with the trash. seems simple enough to me.

I do that!!!! Made me think of MY DH's quirk!! We eat in the living room (is that a quirk??) I hate sitting at a table. He always takes our dishes to the kitchen. I have been known to leave the dishwasher open, with the racks out ----- HE sets the dishes on the counter above the dishwasher.....he NEVER puts them in!!!!! THAT drives me nuts!

My DGD has a doll on the bed . When I take it off to get into bed I have to lay her where she is not all messed up. Looks like a real baby and just drives me crazy if she does not look comfey. Yelp... I'm bonkers.
