Confessions of Quirkiness

[CouchCoach]

I don't know if it's quirky, but I peel a banana from the opposite end of the stem:

Definitely quirky.

Just quirky? Okay, sometimes I count in my head for no reason. Maybe I'm walking, and count each step, up to a certain number, then start over. Maybe it's sliding my fingers over the buttons on the remote and counting to a certain number, then starting over....whatever, I'm just counting. I guess I'm just keeping my mind busy.

It's not really a compulsion, because I might stop as soon as I get distracted by something.

The only time I get concerned about it is when I'm counting the bodies, and there's an even number.

Got to have all the heads on the bills facing the same direction.

Yeah, if the cashier gives them to me in a disorderly way, I don't move until I've turned them all facing the right way and in denominational order low to high, from the front.

 

[Runwildboys]

Definitely quirky.

Someone once told me that's the right way to do it, because that's how monkeys do it....so I flung my poop at him.

One of my wife's quirks...

She has to eat French fries two at a time.

And if we get fries from a fast food joint? They get poured out onto a napkin and are lined up like little soldiers... Only to meet their doom two at a time. lol

I do this too, especially a lot of steps. Sometimes I walk up steps by threes; sometimes I'll count if I'm walking step at a time.

Thing is, it's not usually something I'm doing consciously. It's like a background thing I don't usually notice until I've been doing it for a while.

I tried posting mine but the site told me my post was too long.

Oh well ..

In my house, there are communal things and then their are my personal things.

When it comes to my personal things, I have my personal communal things and I have my personal items. I have rules to anything that are "my things".

• If it's one of my communal personal things. If you use it, you MUST put it back where it goes so I can find it when I need it. Like cooking things, etc. You can use my chargers, but you cannot move them. It must stay exactly where it is at all times. If you move it. I will kill you!
• If it's not something I consider "communal" of my things. Don't ever touch it. I will KILL YOU! (my guitars, telescopes, ham radios, electronic test equipment, computer/laptops, my desk)

If I have several things to eat on my plate. I eat one at a time. So for ease, I will say I went to a hamburger meal with some nuggets (I don't really eat out much) I will say eat the fries first, then the nuggets, then the burger. Same thing with food on a plate.

That said, if I have rice and beans. They get mixed together. If I have mashed potatoes and say corn. They will get mixed together.

Finally, my mornings are like clockwork. Every morning everything happens every day and they happen in the same exact order. I never forget anything before I leave providing my morning process doesn't get disturbed. If you disrupt my morning and I forget something I needed to do or for work. I will kill you when I get home.

The best thing about all this is when I have to kill someone. They never cause me any more issues in the future.

Are they buried in the basement?

Nope, I feed them to the local animal shelter. You know, I've got to do my part for the community. Can't have hungry dogs and cats out there when their is people who broke the cardinal rule about my property.

If you mess up the count, do you have to go back to the start? Do you remember the count in case you left you car keys or wallet back at the start?

Ok for you, we'll let you categorize them and since you own the joint, you can even have some R Rated ones.

I don't go back. But I try to remember the next time I go up the same flight of stairs.

Do you skip steps on the stairs, making sure they're the same ones each time?

Hmmmm....

Do you give what they don't eat to the local Medical college?

No, that becomes bio-mulch for the corn fields of Nebraska.

Be careful, he might add a thing or two that you don't want to touch.
