I love this thread! Everybody is so interesting.
I really love filling out forms. I used to fill out college applications -- even ones I didn't want to go to -- when I was at home in high school. I already filled out the form to register at the hospital where we're going to deliver, even though we don't know a lot of the answers yet.
I can only have the volume on the TV on multiples of 5 -- 10, 15, 20. Even if that means it's too loud, because I can't stand the happy medium of 12 or whatever.
I didn't learn to ride a bike until I was 21.
I'm probably unnaturally obsessed with true crime type stuff -- the weirder and more profane, the more obsessed, even as I recoil. Sometimes I catch myself reading articles on Wikipedia about child snatchers and stuff and then I realize my bosses have two young children and if anybody is reading my Internet history, they are probably really freaked out by me.
I really like reading out loud. Whenever DH isn't at home, I will read out loud, and even when he is, if he's in the living room and I'm in bed reading before I sleep, I'll just whisper read out loud.
@mrs. bird OMG m-o-i-s-t is the most disgusting word there is. One time when we were eating roast at home when I was in high school, my dad was mmm'ing and aah'ing and told my mom it was really moist. GROSS! Which reminds me, I really hate it when people make noises when they eat, it makes me want to cry.
@highwire I don't have exit strategies planned out, but I'm also obsessed by that kind of apocalyptic stuff. Once, in 7th grade, I was listening to the radio and they were joking about how the Weekly World News predicted the armageddon the next day, and even though logically I knew it wasn't true, I was so sick to my stomach I had to stay home from school. Every time I heard a plane fly overhead, I thought it was bombs coming for us. Even today, when I hear too many stories of earthquakes (like last year) or stuff like that, I get really scared that the world is coming to an end. I totally bought into the whole Mayan end of the world thing after the Miami face-eating incident, and then the guy in Philadelphia who threw his intestines at the police. I was like, see? This is it.

I'm obsessed with turning numbers into puzzles. Like addresses, the time, phone numbers, etc. Like, if someones address was 6643 I think to myself "6+6=12 and 4x3=12" or like 6701 is 6+0+1=7. I can't shut it off, and it drives me INSANE.

@banana: My husband thinks it's absolutely insane but I'm proud of my quick typing so it's worth it
@ladyfingers: I also love filling out forms. I make my husband let me fill out forms for him at the doctor even. I love it. And if I make one little mistake I start over.

@jennylynn: I totally do that too! It's helped me remember people phone numbers & such!
-
@runsyellowlites: Yeah me too! My husband is always amazed because I have such a crappy memory, but I almost always can remember a certain date, birthdays, phone numbers, anything number related really.

This thread SERIOUSLY made me laugh out loud so many times! Especially @Arden!!!
Let's see....
1) I have a fear of self-storage facilities. I just get creeped out thinking about locked rooms with no windows filled with stuff that people don't care about enough to keep inside their houses. I'm not afraid of dead bodies or anything being kept in there... just like, big stuffed animals and Christmas lawn decorations just sitting there in the dark, doing nothing. I love the show Storage Wars because they get to go in and look through everything.
2) I absolutely love birds, especially hawks. Every time I see one soaring around in the sky I have to stop and watch. I think I should take up birdwatching as a hobby, and I'd love to be a bird in another life. If those exist.
3) My second toes are shorter than my big toes, and all my other toes are the same length as my second toe... except my baby toes. They are miniscule. The nails on them are so tiny, they're just a narrow horizontal strip.
4) I can't sleep with socks on. I hate when Wagon Sr. sleeps with socks on next to me. I also hate when he wears non-bed clothes to bed, which he does often.
5) I go through phases where I ALWAYS have to wear a watch and necklace. Then I go through phases where I CANNOT wear a watch or necklace.
6) I've never smoked a cigarette in my life. I also did not have a drop of alcohol until my 21st birthday.
7) I have a strawberry birthmark on the inner side of my right calf. It totally freaks both myself and Wagon Sr. out because (sorry, cluster haters) if you look very closely, it's actually a symmetrical cluster of 6 small strawberry birthmarks. They're all perfectly round and there's one in the center and five surrounding it all in a perfect circle. I have a cluster phobia as well so I used to try and pick this birthmark off of myself when I was younger. Now I'm used to it. It's actually a good thing that it's so symmetrical and doesn't go away because that means it will probably never cause any cancer type problems for me.
8) I was born with my dad's family's nose (very big, wide, and flat) and because my mom knew what that nose looked like on women on my dad's side of the family, she pinched my nose repeatedly every night while I was growing up. So my nose doesn't look like either my mom's or my dad's because she literally shaped it.
ok I'm gonna stop here! I'm getting out of control!

I could never burp until I was 21. And no this didnt mean I farted more lol
I have to eat sandwiches with meat on the bottom and the rest of toppings on top. If I see someone eating 'upside down' I will tell them to flip their sandwich.
but, i think @Arden takes the cake...i almost peed my pants reading your post!! haha!
