Well, maybe not crazy, but quirky...What are your little idiosycrasies?

I always push down the little buttons on top of to-go cup lids. You know, the ones that say Cola, Diet, etc?

When I eat chili, I always butter 4 saltines and set them next to my bowl and eat them one at a time, then I butter 4 more and repeat this until my chili's gone. To tease me, my husband steals one, so sometimes I hide a 5th one to butter after this little theft.

I'm not Jewish but when I got to the grocery store and bag my own groceries, I never put dairy and meat in the same bag.

So, what weird things do you do.

When hanging the washing on the line the pegs must match, and be the same size
When having a meal. I MUST eat with a small fork
Before my guys go out to work, varsity or on a jol I have to first bless them

Before Mishka eats anything from his bowl, he comes out the cage to kiss me, I then put him back in, he then nibbles my finger as a thank you gesture.

Guess this is confession time. I like to cut a sandwich in 4 quarters because it is easier to eat that way. In winter I put boiling water in my coffee cup to heat it up before the coffee is in the cup.

My husband tells me I have Mr. Roger's syndrom (old children's tv series), as I have specific indoor shoes, ones for upstairs and ones for downstairs I also do the same with sweaters, so needless to say everytime I go from the upstairs to the downstairs I change my shoes and sweater..yes umm this is odd!
Funny, I also share Antoinettes close pin obsession, they must match; I perfer grey no colors and be put on the line as uniform as possible..I love tomatoes but hate them in a sandwich, unless it's a tomato sandwich.

I have to wear makeup when leaving the house or I get anxiety.

If I see a spider in the house I can not get close enough to kill it so I have to watch it intently until someone else can. Even when I spot one outside I watch it intently.

When eating dinner I have to get a small bit of everything onto my fork or spoon and eat it all together.

I dip my chips in hotsauce.

I kiss my hand and touch it to the roof when going through a yellow light.

When reading a book I have to FORCE myself NOT to read the last page first.

I like cold coffee.

I have to check out this forum everyday or I feel lost...

When making a sandwich, I have to make sure the mayo or mustart is spread evenly from side to side top to bottom.
I only like a half cup of ice with my drink.

hehehe... I'm not the only slightly neurotic person out there.

My clothes must go straight from the dryer and hung on a hanger and they are color coordinated as well as type coordinated (tank tops with tank tops, collared shirts with collared shirt. Blues with blues and in a certain order according to shade)

my sandwiches must be cut diagonally not across.

I make whistleing/clucking/cooing/mmmmm/funny noises to the dogs I train because I'm use to doing that with my birds. (my dog-loving and birdless friends give me REALLY funny looks)

When stressed, I have to sanitize stuff.

Thats all I can think of so far. :p

The food on my plate are not allowed to touch each other, but I do sometimes eat all of it together in one bite.

I do not eat tomato or any food that has tomato in it, but I love tomato sauce and tomato crisps (simba chips).

I am not afraid of any animal/insect in the world but I am TERRIFIED of cockroaches, yet I breed cockroaches for my dragons cause they love them. :rolleyes:

hehe seems we are all a little bonkers eh :)

Wildheart, the way you feel about tomatoes is how I feel about onions. I do not eat onions or anything with onions in it. Yet love french onion soup as long as the onions are drained out lol.

I have OCD, so things have to be organized and straight. Some things bother me, some don't.

All my books and movies absolutely HAVE to be alphabetized by title or I'll go insane.

I put milk in the bowl first, then cereal.

I hate anything with potatoes except for tator tots and french fries.

I have a deathly fear of raccoons, possums, badgers, and skunks. I don't know why, but I do.

Wildheart, just like you, I love bugs of all sorts, but I cannot stand cockroaches and centipedes.

My money in my wallet has to be in order and all facing the same way.

If I starting writing in one pen color, I have to finish in that other pen color, otherwise I'll go insane. lol

Am I crazier, on top of being bird crazy? lol

This is fun! I like to get to know all of you better than just through our fids.

Linky - I can't even touch a dead cockroach. I've actually been held hostage on my bed until my husband came from work.

I know what you mean!:D My dragons get roaches called hissers (some people keep them as pets) once a week. I stick them in the fridge so that they can slooooow down before I throw them in a bowl for the dragons. The one morning one of them did not slow down and he started crawling up on the side of the dish.:eek: I got such a fright I threw the whole tub in the air and ran out the house.:D Hubby had to go and catch them again and put them back in the fridge.

I am the same about ALL my closets being organized.
