I love swimming, I take showers and all, but if it's raining, and I get a little wet, or someone splashes me, or something spills, I CANT STAND IT Quoting: *HEISENBERG* Me too. I like showers now, but couldn't tolerate them until I was about 10 and went to sleep-away camp and didn't have a choice. I hate it when people spray me in the face with water to cool me off. I can't stand being touched by someone who is wet, even if it's from a shower or other clean source. It gives me the ookies. I can't stand listening to people singing to themselves. Doesn't matter how good their voice is - it drives me up the wall. I don't mind singing in general, but someone singing to themselves while they're doing something makes me want to go ballistic. The texture of pear skins and certain types of paper gives me the heeby-jeebies, even just thinking about them. (Despite that, I like pears. I just can't eat the ones that are worst, texture-wise) Do I sound oversensitive? I can deal with cleaning up anything that comes out of a human body without difficulty. I'm the go-to person at work when someone with a vomit or snot aversion doesn't want to clean something up. Totally the texture thing! Some fabrics make me gag, hard to breath. I'm also the go to person to take care of gross stuff that no one else will touch, which is funny cause I'm a borderline germaphobe. LOL I hate the feel of suede...can't touch it. ..."The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day.

I scrub my mushrooms with a special brush before I can prep or cook them. They cant have any spots at all because I feel like I'm eating dirt if they aren't spotless. Never less than half a tank of fuel in the car. I have to collect souvenirs while hiking of weird natural things, ie. seed pods, pine cones, rocks and things of that sort. They cannot be thrown away. I bring them on future hikes to give them back to nature. Water must be thanked while showering, washing, cleaning and drinking. Rain, mist and clouds are thanked as well as sunshine. I am a vegan, so I thank all of my food prior to eating it. I fold my dryer sheets and re-use them. Lotion must be applied first to the bottom of the feet. |

I have eaten Chinese on Friday night every week for the past 4 years. I sleep with one foot under the covers and one foot out. I have to have air blowing on me when I sleep. I have to have a Starbucks Frappe every morning. I put a spell on you and now you're gone. My whammy fell on you and it was strong. |

I have to smoke a filtered cigar once a month and I don't even smoke. I hardly ever use the lights in my house, I use scented candles at night, I love the soft glow and smell and I use natural light from outside during the day. I only use Gain detergent, dish soap, air freshener and laundry sheets...I LOVE the smell. I even put unused laundry sheets in my drawers, closets and in the pillow case I sleep on. I have to sleep with my red log shaped pillow or I can't sleep. I refuse to watch fake-ass wrestling, it's SO stupid. I hate when people eat with their mouths open and smack...drives me crazy and makes me loose my appetite. I love the smell of gas...and this didn't come about until I was pregnant with my second son.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15723157 Now that gives me the creeps. Could not clean my teeth in the kitchen. No way no how! My toilets are in separate rooms all on their own. The shower and bath are in the bathrooms though. So people do wash themselves there. I clean my teeth at the bathroom sink. I do have a special draw for my dental stuff and so does everyone else in the family. We each have our own toothpaste. |

I have to have the heel on one foot trapped between the big toe and the second toe of the other foot. we are some crazy people!! Never, ever talked about this stuff before. That sounds uncomfortable, lol. No I should have said back of the ankle just above the heel. It is very comfortable my toes fit just right. I always do that to go too sleep. Like you needing your feet touching. This thread made me think about things I do and thought were normal. I hope you think of some more 'normal' things you do to post. |

Quoting: *~Ocean~* Okay, I'll share a few. - Anything white, has to be pure white, like the edge around running shoes, or white clothing. If a piece of clothing got washed with a dark shirt and looks remotely off white, I won't wear it. - I can't do breast exam on myself, it literally makes me Gag! I can touch my breasts, but I can't massage them looking for lumps or I start gagging. - I won't touch worms, they make me shiver and they look disgusting! - I hate to walk on Grass in bare feet, it grosses me right out, I can't stand the feeling. Same with stepping on seaweed, or slimy sand. YUK. - I use my foot to flush toilets in public restrooms, for obvious reasons! - If someone kisses me, I always wipe my face after, IDK, I guess I don't like a wet face. - I hate the sound of hearing other people eat and drink in a quiet room. - I have a fascination for certain numbers, and rocks. I'm sure there are a tons more things, but thats all I can think of right now. Wow! Certainly some unique character traits...thanks so much for sharing... Found the breast and grass quirks most interesting :-) Your welcome, it was fun. I see most of us on this thread are a little OCD lol. I do a lot of ocd things but was trying to think of the more unique things I do. But ya, the breast exam is weird hey, my doctor is always getting mad at me for not doing it. The grass issue has been there ever since I could walk, lol. * I thought of one more, I get the shivers and a weird feeling that goes through my body when I drive past road kill. |
