What are some of your quirks ?

What things do you do that people have told you are weird ?

I put on tank tops feet first. Pull them up my body and then put my arms in. I take them off the proper way, but I step into them.

And while I don't think it's weird as I know plenty of people who do the same, I eat pizza with a fork and knife.
 
My dh hates HATES hates that I put ketchup in my Mac n Cheese and is often accompanied by hot dogs lol.

I absolutely always have a big, loud hiccup when I have a first sip of soda.

....and thats all they could come up with lol. Thats kinda boring, geez.
 
I eat hot dogs with popcorn. And *only* with popcorn. If no popcorn is available I don't eat the hot dog. Corndogs are not an acceptable substitute. I pile the popcorn on top, like it's chili or coleslaw, so I get popcorn & hotdog in each bite. I've been doing it for 40 years.
 
I honestly and truly believe that a zombie apocalypse could happen. people laugh at me, but i seriously think we could get some sort of virus or crazy easy to pass parasite that kills most of our brain function except for the primal stuff and we all turn into zombies.
 
When I'm really nervous or upset, I clean... haha, so to see you house, I'm a very relaxed person. :p

I think some stuffed animals have a personality... and "talk"... :o I blame it on that I am an only child with no kids my age around me in the neighborhood...

People in authority (police, boss, pastors, etc) that I respect make me extremely nervous... if there is a cop behind me when I'm the car, I will go around the block.
 
I pick at my eyebrow when I'm stressed. It's unconcious. But I've actually created a huge gap in one, once, that required much eyebrow penciling to cover, when I was particularly stressed out. It's one I've only picked up in the last 5 years or so, though. Menopausal? I won't discount it :D
 
I cough really bad when brushing my teeth... like an asthma attack kinda thing. It only happens when I get up really early in the morning or I'm having allergies.
 
If I am at a restaurant with other people, I have to ask everyone what they're ordering in order to decide what I'm going to order. It's annoying. But I can't help it!!!
 
K I'll share one that comes to mind.. lol

I have a real sensitivity to noise and so if i am staying at a hotel room i'll listen to the wall to see if we can hear the people beside us.. it doesn't even matter if I might not be able to hear them if i'm not listening at the wall.. I won't be able to relax if I do..

I am just SO indecisive that I need help narrowing down my choices. I like to hear what everyone is getting and I usually choose from those instead of the menu. I did it when we were at Margaritaville in Vegas during the SSD retreat. I ordered the fish tacos because Lynnette was getting them. :o
 
I clean when I'm pissed.

I carry on conversations (fights) with people in my head that will never happen and for no reason. If you're a member of my family, no doubt we've fought a lot in my head.

I am sensitive to noise, especially loud talkers so I sometimes cover my ears when my kids talk to me to deaden the noise.

I love to dip cheese popcorn in Taco Bell hot sauce.

I like the dentist. It makes me feel good to take care of issues and I get to lay and watch tv for a couple hours while they do whatever they do.

Oh, and I don't like to make eye contact, it makes me extremely uncomfortable to look at strangers so I often glance at people and avert my eyes for a few seconds and look back.

Pretty sure both Karsten AND I are on the Asperger's spectrum.

OH MAN! I do this, too, and not just with family, but with people on the street that I just want to yell at and can't...or even sometimes imaginary fights because it could've gone that way, so I get it all ready in my head.!:hugs:

This is mostly me... I just need to know. Then I decide what I want. I don't have to choose what someone else gets but I might have not seen something so I *need* to know. LOL!

My other quirks...

I do not write in black pen. I prefer blue or colored.
I can whistle like a bird, and sometimes get replies. (lol, my dad taught me when I was 5 - I'm hoping he will teach my kids!)
I can write ambidextrously - and I can also write upside down and in cursive.

:blink:

I do this too.. but I usually have 3 items that I'm deciding on and then when it's my turn, its a snap decision... or I'll really odd ball it and pick something random... drives hubby nuts - he is one that when at Perkins he always orders ham cheese omelet... at Wild Buffalo Wings - doz of wings, 1/2 parm garlic and 1/2 med...

And I fight with people in my head, too... usually sales people or what I wished I said to someone that ticked me off.

I also go worse case scenario for everything so when it isn't that I can think, "well, that wasn't too bad... "

Yes to this. I also clean LOUDLY when angry, slamming cupboards and sighing a lot.

I pick at my eyelashes and eye brows.

I HATE hearing people eat. Cookies and chips crunching near me sounds like thunder.

Not so much now, but I got weird OCD when my 1st was born. He never slept. So if he did sleep or had a good night, I'd do everything the same the next day. Even drive the same route. Same shower routine...everything. and I'd convince myself that the bad night meant I didn't follow the routine close enough o.O

I'm totally late to this discussion but when I read this, I had to comment because we saw people at Sam's Club eating pizza with a knife and fork a few weeks ago and Katie was absolutely appalled. "Who the heck eats pizza with a knife and fork? That's just weird." So I thought you'd like to know my daughter thinks youre a total weirdo!

LOL it depends on the kind of pizza I'm eating, but if it's something with a lot of toppings (which is how I like it) and a thin crust, I usually at least start out with a fork (I don't use a knife cause we have these knorks that I love). But when I give one to Jeff as I'm serving the pizza, he always looks at me like I'm crazy and says "I won't be needing that."

I'm trying to think of my quirks... I know I have several. To me, they're just normal stuff though, so I forget they aren't common. LOL

I do have to mash my eggs up with a fork before eating them... like my fried eggs (over medium please)... I just mash them to smithereens with the back of my fork because that's how my mom always did for me when I was a kid. I can't imagine just cutting into them and taking a bite. LOL

Also, I hate feet. Mine, other people's.... feet are gross. In my perfect world, people would wear socks 24/7 (I don't often sleep with socks on cause hubby hates it, but *I* prefer them). I have overcome that a little bit and last year actually purchased a pair of flip flops. I still prefer socks.

Without even reading the whole message, thats what I assumed too but maybe thats cause at the moment I'm working on a positive behavior assignment using an adult on the AS spectrum as my case study

About the only quirk I can think of is that I appear confident most of the time but I actually suffer from anxiety to the point when I need to stop and take a breather for a day or two to recover

Not sure if it's a quirk...

Hi Lauren,

Not sure if this is actually a quirk, but I do seem to "stalk" you unintentionally, lol!
I fell in love with your blog (MTM) and we started working together, and then, I realized that before I knew you, I purchased some of your digi-kits, and now here I am on the Sweet Shoppe Community - lol! Don't call the police or anything, but I'm about to follow you on Pinterest too, haha!

lol Knorks. We call them sporks or splades. LOVE them.

Knorks sounds like it boobies.
 
I don't really have any, I don't think. I asked Sean and he said no.

Food, I have a couple weird things I like to eat.

I like ketchup on most meat that is hot. Not like lunch meat, but I like ketchup with like fried chicken, steak, thanksgiving turkey. LOL!

And my favorite sandwich is a banana and mayo.
