I like the plates and cups to be arranged just right, and the silverware to be even. Whenever dh or my MIL does it for me, I have a mini panic attack and rearrange the dishwasher before I can run it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-663436 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 04:10:11 +0000 Smurfette 663436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to sleep with a fan on. It can't be a ceiling fan, they don't make enough noise. But I can't sleep with the TV on or if people are talking in the next room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-663431 Sun, 24 Mar 2013 03:35:12 +0000 808love 663431@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The thought of touching raw chicken makes my stomach turn...perhaps the gloves would help me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-662559 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 09:22:40 +0000 Boheme 662559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: @SweetMamaM: @swedishfish: I have to eat my food one thing at a time too! And if I'm eating breakfast and pancake syrup touches a non-sweet food like my eggs? Game over. I can't eat the tainted food. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-662527 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 08:59:04 +0000 Mrs squirreld 662527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ninja: yep I do the candy colour sorting too! </p> <p>I also line up my fries as I eat them.</p> <p>I cannot stick my face underwater in the shower or close my eyes in the shower.</p> <p>I cannot lie in bed with my legs straight and hands resting on my belly as I think this is the coffin position ( yep I'm a freak... I don't even know how this started.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-662465 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 07:37:19 +0000 swedishfish 662465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I eat one thing at a time too! I can't stand mixing my foods. My family makes fun of me and reminds me that I only have one stomach. </p> <p>I have to have lip balm as well at all times.</p> <p>I must have water with me.</p> <p>I compulsively check for my wallet and phone in my purse even though it's zipped up.</p> <p>I do things in the same order every morning and at bedtime. If I don't it bothers me and I forget to do things like brush my teeth.</p> <p>I must use the bathroom last minute before leaving the house.</p> <p>I always have to shave my right leg first. Maybe because I'm a lefty?</p> <p>I have many more. This is like therapy - I feel better about my quirks already! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-662391 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 01:49:37 +0000 SweetMamaM 662391@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I eat my food one at a time too!</p> <p>I'm a teacher and I can't go home at night without the desks in my room being straight in rows. We were in the school library the other day and some of the reading chairs had been moved from their usual places and I had to put them back into their "right places"... Everything in it's place! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-662378 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 01:02:46 +0000 StbHisMrs 662378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to have chapstick with me at all times too, and I have to have ice cold water with me at bed, and I will make the bed before I get in it.<br /> I can't sleep if there are dirty dishes in the sink, I will get out of bed and do them.</p> <p>@Ninja: My side of the closet is the same way, dh thinks I'm insane! I also do the same with any colored candies! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-662373 Sat, 23 Mar 2013 00:44:17 +0000 ninja 662373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: wow! I thought I was the only one who ate Kit Kats like that!</p> <p>If I have any colored candies (m&amp;ms, skittles, gummy bears), I have to desperate the colors and eat all of a color first. And my closet is organized not only by sleeve/pant length, but also by color (as they are in the rainbow spectrum). </p> <p>Ok, now I might sound crazy :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-662341 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:28:41 +0000 HLK208 662341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: omg. I do this too!! Everyone who has ever seen me eat a kit-kat tells me I'm gross lol.</p> <p>Another one, I apply 16 layers of Chapstick. Every night. 16 layers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-662329 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 23:08:03 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 662329@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I eat kit kats the same way!</p> <p>I sleep with a lovey. It's a small quilt that my DH got me for Christmas. I wrap myself in it before getting under the covers. I can't sleep without it if I'm home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-662296 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 22:14:42 +0000 rybybeach 662296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to have my phone, wallet, and water when I go anywhere. I also have to have my water when I go to sleep at night. I also take water with me when I am going to a party. Apparently I feel comforted by water lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661975 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 18:26:44 +0000 avivoca 661975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fidget. When I read, I tune everything around me out. I literally don't hear anything except for the book movie in my head. It drives DH bonkers, but you would think that after eight years he would know better than to try and talk to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661953 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 18:02:08 +0000 Anagram 661953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just have to have a glass or bottle of water right next to my bed to be able to sleep. AND I have a pharmacy in my purse at all times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661950 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 17:59:54 +0000 Pirouette 661950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fussygal: haha when I travel half my bag is snacks :-) DH laughs at me but at least the bag is lighter on the way home!</p> <p>@highwire: what's that about?! Lol. Only bothers me when I've been sleeping for a while but kinda cruel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661874 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 17:06:53 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 661874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookworm: oh same about the socks! i don't have any white ones! and mine rarely match. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661873 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 17:06:06 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 661873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to eat each type of candy bar a certain way. Usually it involves nibbling all the coating chocolate odd, then nougat, then the caramel. Kit kats have to have all the side chocolate eaten off, then wafers separated and eaten one by one. It's a super crazy quirk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661867 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 17:02:23 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 661867@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can't handle smells. Not sure if that's a quirk? I literally can't go near the garbage or dishwasher if there is any sort of smell. It drives DH crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661854 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:46:34 +0000 DillonLion 661854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pirouette: Yes, my DH always has to re-adjust the sheets when he comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661845 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:41:28 +0000 fussygal 661845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH claims that I have a lot, but my big ones are:</p> <p>- Can't leave the house without chap stick<br /> - I absolutely will.not. use my towel if I know anyone else has touched it.<br /> - I have to be covered up to my neck with the blankets/sheet when I sleep.<br /> - I can't have ANY light in the room when I'm trying to sleep (I'm looking at you clock on the DVD player...)</p> <p>@Pirouette: I don't always bring food with me, but if I don't know when or where my next meal is coming from, I kinda freak out. Whenever I travel for work I always bring a box of granola bars and my colleagues make fun of me... until they're hungry :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661767 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:48:18 +0000 MrsStormy 661767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: I eat one thing at a time too.</p> <p> I really hate my food touching unless its a bread product, especially if there is a sauce or dressing on things, I try to make bread dams between all my different foods on a plate. </p> <p>I am not a very good sleeper, so I do a lot of weird things to help my sleep, I sleep with an eye mask, and if we spend the night somewhere and I forget it, we have to find somewhere to buy one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661764 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:47:05 +0000 sea_bass 661764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have to iron my sheets. Is that weird? Maybe everyone does it but no one I know does... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661762 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:46:38 +0000 Caly 661762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: Ummm...it's quite possible...heh. I could seriously fill a hefty novel with my many many quirks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661708 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:31:37 +0000 Alivoo01 661708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: haha! You're too funny!</p> <p>@Bookworm: I concur with the peace and quiet! Hubby is used to putting the tv on sleep mode and falling asleep. It drove me batty!!</p> <p>If eating a sandwich where the bread is similar to Subway, I HAVE to have the right side of the sandwich. If it's the left, I get a lil flustered because I feel like I'm eating the sandwich backwards/upside down.</p> <p>While eating, I normally eat one thing at a time. For instance, fast food, I'll finish my burger first before eating my fries. No one bite of burger, some fries, burger, fries - no no no no no. LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661644 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:03:41 +0000 Pirouette 661644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i never knew how many people were quirky about their sheets! DH is like this. if i go to sleep before him, he'll come in, rip the sheets and blanket off me to straighten them and then get in bed...he literally has to wake me up just because he can't go to sleep without straightening them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661603 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 14:29:25 +0000 Boheme 661603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LMOG47: Are you me?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661602 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 14:29:20 +0000 Bookish 661602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My toe nails must be painted at all times (even chipped, just have to have SOME polish on there lol).<br /> I have to have absolute quiet when I'm sleeping, to the point where I usually have a fan going to block out any noise (probably can't do this when LO gets here haha!)<br /> I love love love brightly colored/patterned socks. I don't own any white socks at all, and have no shame mis-matching them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-are-your-quirks#post-661580 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 14:15:22 +0000 Caly 661580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I must always have a lip balm on my person.<br /> The sheets/duvet must be perfectly situated before I can sleep...much to DH's annoyance.<br /> I rarely ever drink the last couple sips from a bottle. Just can't.<br /> Peeing must be the absolute last thing I do before leaving the house or going to bed. </p>
