i cannot relax if any doors are unlocked

i must have the window open in the car. even in winter blush.gif

if i fall asleep with socks on, i always end up with only one in the morning lol



i am sure there are many more, but that's a start lol happy.gif

TLCDad replied: I can not stand my back to the door in a room.

I have a habit of sitting in my office chair on my legs... definitely need to stop that.

Always needing/wanting to watch TV while I eat.

Staying up too late.

I am sure there is more.

kit_kats_mom replied: I must have one foot out from under the covers when I'm asleep.

I can not stand mixing the food on my plate up. I eat all of the beans first, then the meat, then the pasta...or whatever it is. I just hate mixing food up.

I am terrified of spiders

I could out-sleep the cat if given the chance. I'm an olympic league napper

luvbug00 replied:

ME TOO!! emlaugh.gif

I am ALWAYS cold.
I am road rage fiend. I hate people who speed arround me, cut me off. and keep hitting the breaks blush.gif ( I know, I know...)
I have to have butter on somthing even just bread once a day!!

that's it for now. cool.gif

Maddie&EthansMom replied:
Same here. laugh.gif

I also have to sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door.

I have to wash my hands after touching something...anything. (when I get up from here I will wash my hands) And yet I bite my fingernails. I also can't go without hand lotion.

I never drink anything with my meals. I will drink before and after my meals, but never while eating.



momof3angels replied:
Me too, except maybe water sometimes! I almost always wait until after I eat!

That road rage thing sounds familiar too blush.gif I can't stand bad drivers!

I HATE sitting directly across from a stranger in a restaraunt.

I drive with only my right foot (unless it is a stick) and my left foot is always on the dash! laugh.gif

mckayleesmom replied: I only drive with my right foot also....unless a stick

Even if I have the bed to myself...I always sleep on my side

I am usually sitting at my computer either one leg tucked under the other or indian style in the chair

I dread washing my hair.....I have long hair and it is such a hassle

I hate getting food on my hands when Im eating....I usually eat pizza with a fork

I also am a sleep addict and never get enough of it....I have trained my kids not to wake up till after 9 laugh.gif

Sometimes I forget to eat and remember that I didn't at the end of the day

I don't sleep much at night because when my husband isn't home I constantly think Im hearing things,,,like people breaking in

I have a washing routine in the shower....shampoo hair first...conditioner next....wash body while conditioner sits.... blahblah.gif

sometimes I am so busy with the kids and talking to much on here that I am in my pajamas all day laugh.gif



CantWait replied: I have to have the blinds open, unless I'm really depressed.

My feet have to be covered at night.

I'm a road rager also.

My biggest one : I can't eat off anyone else fork, spoon, plate etc....even the kids, if they lick it and offer me, I'm horrified by it.

I hate when my dh drinks from my straw, iewww He always says that we do "other" things together that are worse, he doesn't understand why I think that is so gross. I think it's cause my mom use to always take sips of my drink etc when I was younger, and she's a smoker-gross, so I think that sticks with me.

boobies4virtue replied: When I go to bed, I have to have socks on and then I take them off in my sleep.

DblTblDad replied: it makes me nervous to sit with my back to the room while i'm on my computer

when i sit down to relax or at the computer i have to have my feet up on something

I wash my hands a lot

I shake my leg when i'm nervous

for a long time I had to have ice in my drink and i had to have a straw unless it was water.

my wife used to not be able to lay in bed without blankets over her, even in summer.

luvbug00 replied: OH Yeah my wierdest!! how could I foreget??

I can NOT drink ANYTHING without a straw. yeah, all my alcohal with a straw emlaugh.gif .

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: If it is hot at night I will sleep with only a sheet, but at all times my rear end must be covered by the sheet.

I somehow always end up wearing a white shirt when I eat spaghetti, even if I cooked it.

zdk753 replied: I cannot sleep unless I'm covered up esp. my butt.
I can't eat unless I'm reading something.
I can't stand getting a kiss from anyone until you brush your teeth.
Before I can take a bath or shower I have to scrub the tub out.
I have to have the doors locked esp. when I'm here by myself.
I have to sit indian style no matter where I am. I even tuck my left leg under me when driving.
That's all I can think of now.

CantWait replied:
that's another one of my big ones. I have a comforter on when it's 30something out.

CantWait replied:
That's an odd one blink.gif rolling_smile.gif

paradisemommy replied: i'm a road rager

gr33n3y3z replied: I always sit with my back to the wall

While sleeping I have to face the door except when Ed is home at night

The TP roll has to be over and not under same with the PT



Hillbilly Housewife replied: I HAVE to have at least a sheet up to my lower back, even in the summer. Preferably a comforter.... but DH whines too much that it`s too warm. rolleyes.gif

I always roll my eyes when I see imcompetent people`s phone number calling me...

I get really grossed out my other people`s saliva on me or my things - like my shirt when the kids cry, or my fork, food...etc...etc... I especially HATE when DH takes a bite of something of mine and doesn`t 'clean' the spoon... like there`s still food on it AFTER he takes the spoon out of his mouth?! huh.gif GROSS!!! I usually have to take a new fork or spoon.... and I change my shirt if the kids cry and snot all over it.

I look at the ground when I walk...about 3 feet in front of me. I don`t want to fall - and especially in the rain, I don`t want to step on worms. puke.gif

I won`t touch fish if it still has its tail, head, or some skin left (scales) but I`ll be able to it if it`s just a filet. blink.gif


I'm not afraid of the dark.... but I have to turn the light on to go into the bathroom. It`s the only room in the house where I won`t go in if there`s no light. dunno.gif


PreciousBabyDelights replied: i stay up late,
i cant sleep when my kids re fear of i might miss something
when i do sleep i sleep with tv on and a light
when i get ice cream in a cone i make em take the first one off and i take the one uderneath
i cannot eat sandwhiches with lettuce
thats about it im really not to picky tongue.gif

CantWait replied:
I'm glad I'm not the only one.

I'm the same way for the toilet paper also, over not under, and I see it under, then it's wrong and I have to change it. wacko.gif

coasterqueen replied: I'm a horrible road rager. blush.gif

Have to have TP and PT over, not under. I will correct them if wrong, even at other's homes. blush.gif

Towels, underwear, clothes, etc have to be folded certain ways. If DH folds them wrong I go back and refold them.

I'm a slob but yet I am so anal it's not funny. I want everyone else to be clean with their stuff. tongue.gif

Food can't touch each other on my plate. If it does I have to throw it away and get new.

There's more, I know but I'm drawing a blank. tongue.gif

My2Beauties replied: Um...

blink.gif I don't know - I don't have really any quirks - I do everything by the seat of my pants and I have no routine blink.gif

I procrastinate a lot! tongue.gif

ETA: Oh when DH isn't home I wake up almost every hour on the hour and I have really bad dreams about awful things happening! But that is it.

JessC replied: Mine would be...

I HAVE to have some kinda covers on me to fall asleep.
I have to shower everyday, or else I feel greasy wacko.gif
Everything usually needs to match in my car, I dont know why...
When things get moldy, I dont eat it, no matter what.

And I cant think of any more! unsure.gif

ions_momma replied: * I have to be covered up before I can fall asleep

* I have to have a fan blowing on me while I sleep (Dh hates that!)

* I cant fall asleep with the TV on or music playing

* I wont eat food that has been left over for longer than 2-3 days




Im sure I have more, I have to think about it for a little while...

~Roo'sMama~ replied: I cannot sit with my back facing a room or a lot of people... if it's in a restaurant or in someone's house or wherever.

I can't sleep if I don't at least straighten the blankets before I go to bed. (I never make it in the morning rolleyes.gif )

I have to put lotion on my feet before I go to sleep or else my dry feet rubbing on the sheets drives me NUTS. nuts.gif

I can't burn a candle in my house unless it's clean - the good smell doesn't match the way it looks and I can't stand it. tongue.gif

I can't think of any more I'm sure there are more ask my Dh. wink.gif

~Roo'sMama~ replied:
Lol I forgot that one me too!! emlaugh.gif

I also don't like it if the different foods on my plate touch each other - I won't eat the parts that touch. I used to be worse about it when I was a kid... I would put one thing at a time on my plate sometimes, and I'd always get a new plate and fork every time I had second helping of anything!

CantWait replied:
LMBO, that is soo me rolling_smile.gif

mummy2girls replied: k i have tons so ill just mention a couple...LOL

i have to sleep in socks. I can be buck naked but i need my socks..LOL

im a perfectionist. if i make the bed and it has a wrinkle i have to start over wacko.gif

i can handle anything gross when it comes to kids..pewking and such. but if i see a kid picking his nose i gag. And help me if they eat it...EWWWWW



CantWait replied:
omg you'd hate Anthony then. He loves to pick his nose, and loves to eat it even more yummy.gif puke.gif

kayla's mama replied: I know I'm kinda late on this but here is mine

When we go out to eat, I have to sit so I can see the kitchen at all times.

I refuse to drink out of my glass if there is no straw, when we are out to eat!!!!

I always have to have my legs under me, either indian or just one leg, while I eat.

My food CAN NOT touch each other. ICK!!!!!

I have horrible road rage

I only feel safe in DH truck when I have Kayla with me. In fear of getting hit in my little Saturn.

My kitchen has to be spotless so I can cook in it!!

OMGoodness, I could go on and on


luvbug00 replied: rolling_smile.gif Note to self ....

DO NOT let oprah get a hold of this post or she will think we are all raving lunies!!

3'smom replied: Have to have feet uncovered to sleep
toilet paper under not over
towels folded just a certain way
when doing dishes by hand I do each thing individually. Like glasses, then plates, bowls, etc. It drives me nuts for someone to fill the sink up with everything. I just can't do it that way.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied: I have to fold my towels a certain way. And it is the opposite of how my mom had to have it done when I was little. I guess it is a bit of rebellion. I can do things different in my own house. wink.gif

mammag replied: I have to have my back to Chris at night when I'm getting ready to sleep but then I'll move around all directions.

I also have to have a pillow between my legs if I'm sleeping on my side.

I roll my eyes a lot! It's awful and Kristen does the same thing. rolleyes.gif

I do this weird thing when I'm doing my hair....I put one leg out to the side and point my toe. It's weird and Chris will point it out and ask if I'm trying to do ballet. I have no idea why I do that.

I can't wear pj's at night. I try to but clother drive me crazy when I'm in bed so I end up taking them off.

I have a starting point for cleaning in each room. I go in a circle. Like with the kitchen, I start with the counter next to the sink and work in a circle around the room.

I say "you're stupid" a lot to Chris when he does anything stupid. He used to make fun of me when we started dating because I say that. I also will do it to my sisters or my dad. Another one is I'll tell him he's a brat....I don't cuss so that is my version of the "A" word I suppose.

My goodness.....I have a lot of them....I could go on with this forever.
