All the pepperonis, then all the cheese. So all I'd have left was the crust and pizza sauce that I would eat together. I think it started because the pizza would be too hot to eat, but I'd be hungry and by eating from the top down, I could get started while the sauce cooled?</p> <p>And I love the segmented styrofoam plates because you can keep all your foods separate! I don't buy them, but when I go to a holiday meal where they're being used, I'm ridiculously excited. My potatoes and gravy are separate from my corn, which is separate from my turkey and cookies. And I eat each one one-at-a-time (from least yummy to most). Unless I'm concerned about getting too full. Then I start with one dessert, then move to least yummy and end with a second dessert :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you/page/2#post-272462 Mon, 27 Aug 2012 14:42:08 +0000 mrs. wagon 272462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: omg I have a very similar quirk. We have a memory foam mattress, so the mattress pad and sheet get loose very easily (basically whenever we get in and out of bed, they both slip). So whenever the sheets and/or mattress pad are wrinkled around the foot area, I CANNOT SLEEP. It has to be smooth. It drives Wagon Sr. crazy because we both have to get up, strip the blankets and pillows off the bed, and pull the pad and sheet tight all the way around the mattress. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you/page/2#post-269424 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 09:02:22 +0000 ladyfingers 269424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a lot, but along the lines of the original post, I can never finish the last bite of a sandwich. It's horrible, it's not even like I'm full. I just can't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you/page/2#post-269385 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:40:11 +0000 MsLipGloss 269385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SorryCharlie: Awwwwww! I get super frustrated when our bed pillows aren't properly sorted out . . . there is 1 soft, 1 medium, and 1 firm pillow on either side of our bed (in addition to the sham-covered pillows, but I won't let us sleep on those), and I HATE when they get mixed up. I usually *code* them by pillow case, so that a certain pillow case indicates the proper level of firmness, so that I can tell by just looking whether or not they are sorted correctly. But when I crawl into bed with the lights out and then discover the *chaos*, I get so frustrated! </p> <p>I also hate when there is not an even number of pillows on both sides of the bed . . . I am hopelessly OCD in some ways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you/page/2#post-269375 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:35:39 +0000 sorrycharlie 269375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha so many of these are quirks I have, too! I also race the commercials/microwave/stove timer instead of pausing what I'm doing, I eat my food in order - for example, all my chicken, then corn, then potatoes. It also really should NOT mix/touch on my plate.</p> <p>I cannot get into bed without the sheet and blanket being straightened out. I burst into tears last night because the mattress pad was off the mattress, but still under the sheet, and DH was already in bed so I made him get up to fix it. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you/page/2#post-269355 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 08:27:16 +0000 mrsjyw 269355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: one of my quirks too, DH hates it! I never finish a can of soda or juice, etc.</p> <p>I can't eat food (carry out/fast food) in the car, I have to get home and eat it as a meal. I also eat my sides and main meal together; whereas DH prefers to eat sandwich first, fries next, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you/page/2#post-269170 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 03:44:21 +0000 Mrs squirreld 269170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: yep I do that too!!! Not just with m&amp;ms but anything that had a variety in the packet.<br /> I also have to line my hot chips up and I eat them according to crispiness. Just incase I get full I want to make sure I got the good ones.. I didn't even realize I did it till DH asked me why?! Lol weird... I wonder how we get these quirks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you/page/2#post-269062 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:46:16 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 269062@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@highwire: that's pretty cool. Dogs are the best. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you/page/2#post-269057 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:36:32 +0000 pinkcupcake 269057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't sleep in an unmade bed. I totally freak out when anything touches my collarbones (turtlenecks are a no-no for me). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you/page/2#post-269023 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:21:55 +0000 Mrs. Pen 269023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: OMG I totally do that too!!! They HAVE to be even. lol</p> <p>ok this thread is totally cracking me up.. haha you guys are too much..</p> <p>I cannot STAND when guys' collars are half up/half down. I will, and have, gone up to strangers to fix their collars because it drives me up the wall. gahhh I shudder to even think about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you/page/2#post-269008 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:11:10 +0000 DillonLion 269008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Ha okay, that is pretty cooky!</p> <p>Weird quirk about me...if I can't sleep, I spoon my dog (I'm the big spoon) and I can count on passing out immediately every single time. My dog is like a massive sleeping pill. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you/page/2#post-269004 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 22:09:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 269004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I eat M&amp;Ms I dump them out and sort them by color. I make sure every color has an even amount and I eat all the extras first. Then I eat one out of each color pile, always in the same order: brown, red, orange, yellow, green, and then blue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268845 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 21:02:13 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 268845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ooh, I have lots. I won't share them all for fear that I'll have no internet-friends left.<br /> I always leave about a half-inch of tea in my mug. Hubs thinks its because I forget about it. I have no reasoning.<br /> I ONLY write in black pen. Blue isn't an option. Red/Purple/Green....you've got to be kidding me.<br /> I need two straws in a fountain drink. No reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268812 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:53:58 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 268812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: hahaha! interesting! i think it stems from my wanting things to come out nice and even. decimals with repeating numbers always drove me bananas! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268799 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:51:16 +0000 banana 268799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.wagon: haha! I'm really grossed out by public bathrooms in general. I try to avoid them at all costs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268795 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:49:34 +0000 mrbee 268795@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: I actually wasn't being mean! There is a word for a phenomenon where certain numbers seem more random than others. So for example, if I was writing a television show and wanted to pick a number that seemed random, I would be much more likely to pick a number that sounds random then to actually just pick a random number.</p> <p>I hadn't heard of people who had an aversion to these super random numbers, but now that you mention it I wonder if it's a more common phenomenon than you might think!</p> <p>You may not be alone!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268790 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:48:56 +0000 mrs. wagon 268790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: omg. After reading that I now cannot use the first layer either. Thanks for the quirk. Haha ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268758 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:43:56 +0000 Mrs.B 268758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate cotton balls. Everything about them makes me squeamish. DH thinks I'm crazy but I can't even touch them or I start to gag. I also have a thing about sounds. I CANNOT handle the sound of someone chewing with there mouth open. I also hate when the TV is to loud (which DH seems to do alot). I have a ton of weird quirks :/ DH is equally quirky though. I also cannot finish a bottled drink because I feel like the last few sips are pure backwash and it grosses me out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268653 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:25:45 +0000 banana 268653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't use the first layer of toilet paper in public bathrooms. I have to discard the first layer and use the next layer. I feel like somebody with pee on their hands might have touched the top layer! Makes no sense cause the pee would probably soak through to the 2nd layer but I feel like it's "cleaner". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268629 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:19:42 +0000 mrs. wagon 268629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@eiko2010: @photojane: I'm actually the opposite of you guys... I have to eat my food so that everything "comes out even". If I have a lot of potatoes but only a little meat, I'll eat a lot of potatoes, then a little meat, then a lot of potatoes... in the end I have to have one bite of everything left. Then I'll eat them from least yummy to most yummy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268622 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:17:45 +0000 littlebug 268622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to get out of bed on an odd number, but not a 5. So I set my alarm for 5:47, snooze once, and get out of bed at 5:57. </p> <p>Also, I get these "chills" every now and then. I don't have to be cold - it could be 90+ degrees. But I get this little whole-body convulsion, and usually I make a little noise, kind of like a bark. Totally weird. My brother-in-law calls them meeps, cuz sometimes that's the sound I make. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268613 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:15:18 +0000 littlebug 268613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: I do this, too! I'll take a bite of each thing on my plate, decide which has the best flavor, and eat that last. I eat from least yummy to most yummy, in theory so that the best flavor stays in my mouth. Hubs thinks it's so weird. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268609 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:14:28 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 268609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: you're mean!! but, yes, 17, 29, 37, 41...all of them! ick! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268601 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:13:11 +0000 mrs. wagon 268601@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: stoppit, you're gonna make @Mrs. Cowgirl twitch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268570 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:07:52 +0000 mrbee 268570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: what about 17? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268552 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:04:37 +0000 mrs. wagon 268552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: I am totally picturing your twitch. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268548 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:03:17 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 268548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@photojane: so glad it's not just me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268544 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:02:36 +0000 Mrs. Cowgirl 268544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: i'm pretty sure if it was on 2, i wouldn't be able to hear anything! but, in theory...i guess it would be okay. same with 5. it's numbers 23 and 31 that make me twitch. i have issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268540 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 20:01:39 +0000 photojane 268540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: i totally have a volume thing too! except, mine HAS to be an even number. my husband likes to mess with me and will turn it up or down one. it's so mean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weird-quirk-about-you#post-268536 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 19:59:10 +0000 mrbee 268536@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Cowgirl: What about the number two... even and yet prime. </p>
