QOTD: 4/9/04: What is your quirk?

[TracyD]

or quirks? For Ex: the toilet paper must come over the top of the roll towards the person, must sit on a particular side of the booth in a restaurant, etc.

Just for fun!

Oh, Tracy, you got the part about the TP all wrong!!!! TP must roll under, not over!!!!! Yup, that's my quirk. Another one is that I hate it when the counterperson puts the milk in my coffee at Tim Horton's - I have to do it myself!! So I always ask for the milk on the side, even though it's the same number of little milkers.

I go bananas when things are all over my kitchen counter. It has to be uncluttered. My kids have had many things "disappear" because they know that is my pet peeve! :mad:

[Hopey V]

Okay .. hrrmm quirks ..

I can't stand it when my husband drops his dirty clothes on the floor and doesn't put them in the hamper 2 feet away. ARGGHH!

Also .. TP must go over, not under and I hate it when someone leaves ONE sheet on the roll and doesn't replace it. GRRRRR!

I'm also kinda quirky about always keeping the bathroom sink cleaned and wiped down. Don't like any toothpaste or wiskers laying around, even just one spot.

So I'm quirky ... *winks* ... aren't we all??

T.P. over the top for me!! And please replace it!! It's not hard..try it sometime LOL! Never leave the water dripping either...bothers me something fierce. I have to have my water in a plastic bottle have soo gotten away from glasses now! Silly I know but it just goes down better LOL!

[aspire]

Oh, I have so many! I'll keep to the WW- and food-related so I don't spill this over into many pages. graemlins/crazy.gif

I always have to have specific foods in the fridge or I don't feel 'in control': skim milk, yogurt, LC cheese, bulk bulgur, flax seeds for grinding, salad veggies (I'm at the store at least 2-3x a week for these alone), lite cream cheese, salsa, ff sour cream, veggie pepperoni.

I use to love when DH cooked, it relieved me of the duty, but he refuses to leave out any of the oil or butter, so I have to cook now. He's not allowed in the kitchen unless he's cooking for himself (I've caught him sneaking oil into the pan).

I hate when certain red light junk foods enter the house. I'm known to eliminate it unless it gets taken immediately to DH's job.

[Medb48]

WOW! I never even noticed how I put the TP on. Sometimes up, sometimes down.

What does drive me graemlins/crazy.gif graemlins/crazy.gif is when someone cracks gum. And usually they wait until they are just next to my ear. :eek:

Ya know, the TP thing doesn't bother me in the least...in fact...I usually walk away and never remember to replace the roll (DH gets all snotty with me about that :rolleyes: .)

What does bother me is slow drivers. I get postively looney following behind someone who isn't even going the speed limit. (can you tell that this just happened to me less than an hour ago?). I think I need to seek some help for my road rage tongue.gif !

Another one would be dogs owner letting their dogs do their business on my lawn. I don't have pets for a reason (actually several reasons), and I don't feel that it's fair that I have to clean after them. I have one person that keeps letting their dog "go" just inches outside my gate in the backyard (in the alley...I have to play hopscotch to get past all of it)...and I have several "landmines" to prove it. I just can't prove whose dog it is...yet :mad: !

Okay now that I've got myself all hot under the collar...whose next?

I guess most of mine are bathroom ones! The TP absolutely HAS to be over, same with paper towels. I'm known for changing them, even at other people's house. I also hate it when it isn't torn straight across. Liek there may be a corner still hanging, ugh. I also can't stand to hear the water dripping or the bathroom fan on, it eats me up. :mad:

[sjc1228]

TP must go over the top.

After 30 yrs, DH still does it wrong sometimes. It just doesn't matter to him I guess. It makes me crazy. I should be happy that he at least changes the empty roll, right?

[rouenmom]

Venetian blinds. I hate it when, a) they're not totally even at the bottom -- any angle kills me; and b) if you're using them to block out light? I hate it when they are facing so the light is going UP not down. Neurotic. I know.

I'm catching up on some of these QOTD and this one is great. I'm trying to let go of some of my quirks, realizing how ridiculous they really are and how unimportant. odear.gif

The toilet paper roll, lol, doesn't bother me, but I recently got an e-mail at work stating the way the boss would like the roll of toilet paper put on. I'm not sure if it was serious or not, lol.

I have to have towels folded a certain way. I will refold him when DH does it his way. Why do I do this? They fit better on the shelves is my rational. Silly, really, when in actuality I should be happy DH is actually folding the towels in the first place :rolleyes:

The other thing is when DH puts dirty dishes on the counter right over the dishwasher. WHY NOT PUT THEM IN THE DISHWASHER!!!! AHHHHHHH :eek: :eek: :eek:

[America's.Sweetheart]

Maybe not a quirk, but I despise condiments - ketchup, mustard, mayonaise, sour cream, salad dressing, etc. I won't even wash a plate at my house if it has remnants of those things on it! Squirks me out. Needless to say, it is a help to my weight loss that I don't miss these things!

[cobalt80]

I guess mine have to do with my veganism. I'm obsessive. I only eat off of my vegan, never touched by meat plates (silverware too), hand wash them seperate from my non vegan dh's, etc. odear.gif

[Shipofols]

Ok maybe this is nuts but I hate to watch and listen to people eat food on television! It just drives me crazy!!! that is just one of many I have LOL
