PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.

Please, make me feel normal!  My co-workers were making fun of me yesterday because I don't like for my foods to touch each other on the plate. I also don't like to be touched by someone's bare feet. So, what are some of your quirks? 
Syren rocks.

I only pour agar growth media into petri plates and cut a deck a cards with one hand left-handed, everything else, right handed. My hands are dinky and the left one is just a bit bigger so somethings work better in that side.I used to have the no food touching, eat one food item at a time thing, but I stopped that and I don't know why
(although I was OK with salad stuff all being in the bowl together but I'd have to eat all the tomatoes then all the cukes then all the pepper and the lettuce last, I used to also eat candy in order by color when it was like M&M's and came in different colors, yes they do taste different, darn it!) The one that freaks people out the most is I only chew gum when I go to sleep at night, and I leave it in my mouth all night long. No, I do not wake up with gum in my hair, ever. I need the gum to keep my mouth moist at night, seems every med I ever take dries my mouth out at night TYVM. Oh and I lvoe showers with just the heat lamp on, too bad I do not have one of those in my house. *wonders how much it would cost and how hard it would be to get and install one*

Weird about the left hand pool, eh? Are you any good?It is interesting to note that Rafael Nadal, the #2 male tennis player in the world and 2 time defending French Open champion, is right handed but plays tennis left handed. At a very early age while learning tennis and having a bad practice session, he switched hands out of frustration. The rest, as they say, is history. My eldest DS is left handed, although I am convinced he just chose that hand at an early age. After a bunch of years of playing baseball he switched his throwing hand to use the right one. He will never be in the majors with the left or right hand! My quirks? Too many to list. I can't stand doing crossword puzzles with pencils. Has to be ink. Colour of ink doesn't matter. And the letters have to be uppercase. (and I prefer the cryptic crosswords!)

14. "RE: Tell me some of your quirks" |
LAST EDITED ON 07-14-06 AT 02:20 PM (EST)I can only mention the ones I'm aware of. Friends and family would be more than happy to point the ones that I'm oblivious to. I, too, don't like my foods to touch. I'm much less weird about this than I used to be, but it still causes me problems no matter how much I try to overcome it or cover it up. I get up two hours before I actually have to leave for work in the morning. This is because, although I am not a good sleeper, I am an even worse waker. I literally cannot do anything for the first hour I am up except drink a cup of coffee, smoke a cigarette or two, and read the newspaper. I also have morning rituals that must be conducted in the exact same order every single day. If I neglect one or am rushed or do it out of order, it ruins my whole day. I'm massively picky about how my clothes are folded and ironed. So picky, in fact, that I won't let anyone else do my laundry for fear that I'd just have to do it all over again if it's not done right.

I have many. MANY.The one I get mocked mercilessly for at work is the pen thing. I cannot use a ball-point pen that doesn't have a cap. If I'm at a store and they hand me a pen with no cap with which to sign my credit slip, I'll use the pen in my purse. If I have a pen around that has lost it's cap, I throw it out. I just did that yesterday -- one of my favorite pens too. But no cap = no good. I also apparently make some silly gestures when I am telling stories...oh I'm sure someone will be along any minute to point those out.

71. "RE: Tell me some of your quirks" |
I have so many---I could be Adrian Monk, the character played by Tony Shaloub on "Monk" --Top few? --Ones nobody has posted yet (even me, I think) 1. I cannot STAND IT when the car radio is on when I get in and turn on the car. It feels like a full assault on my hearing. I have to turn it OFF, and then turn it back on, and slowly "up" the volume. If I can't do this? Then the radio has to be OFF. (I am the only person that drives my car.) It doesn't matter WHOSE car it is, either. I will turn your radio OFF, and "click" turn it back on, and then sloooowly turn up the volume. 2. My entire personal phone/address book is in my memory. Nowhere else. I want to call someone, or address a letter? I just do it. I don't need to look it up. If I've seen it once, I know it. I went to a friend's house once and he said, "Gee, I'd really like so-and-so pizza, let's look up the number and order---" and I said, the phone number is XXX-XXXX. And, he said, "Use them a lot?" and I said, "No, saw their number once." He looked it up anyway, and I was right. (Everyone was surprised but me. Then, I pointed to all the people I knew at the party, and told them their phone number. But, I svck at math, go figure.) 3. I am the same with calendar dates from my life. I didn't realize that not everybody knew what they were doing most days in their lives. I found this out when Ronald Reagan was asked, "What were you doing August 7, 1985?" I was irked when he "couldn't recall" and I thought he was lying (and said so). (I could still tell you what I did all that day, and I still know what I was wearing.) This also helps when dating, and someone tries to tell you that you and they did such and such on so and so date--and it never happened. Or explain where they were later (figuring you forgot where he really went then.)Yet, I failed Honors History junior year in high school. Why? I couldn't remember THOSE dates. 4. I could be sleeping on the surface of the sun, and I would STILL be sleeping under a heavy blanket. I can't sleep if there is no weight on me. In order to feel cooler, I will stick out one foot. 5. I remind people in restrooms to wash their hands before they leave (if walking out without doing so.) I'll even offer them alcohol based waterless wash if necessary. I don't care the looks they give me! That's nasty. 6. I talk to my cats as if they understand me, and look at them expectantly and wait for an answer. When they don't answer? I decide they're having a bad day. I pet them and tell them how nice they are to make them feel better. (I have three cats. One talks like its trying to get out full sentences. Another one occassionally barks at the dogs next door. One only says the second half of MEOW and it comes out Ow! Ow! Ow! which is good for a laugh.) 7. If you call me honey, baby, sugar or sweetheart, and I don't know you? I will kindly inform you that my name is EMTBGRL, and you could have at least asked me my NAME before assuming we were dating with the pet nicknames. This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. I got "babydoll" from a waitress today. I did inform her, "I'm sorry if you forgot we don't know each other. My name is EMTBGRL, if you need to have something to call me. But, please refrain from nicknaming me. There's only one person that can call me that, and I'm dating him." She called my DD "honey" afterwards. (Some people don't take a hint.) and my DD, politely and with a smile, followed suit and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, we forgot to tell you MY name. It's XXXXXX." <smile sweetly> and as her mother, I said, "Please call us by our proper names or not at all." I will also admit that I eat food one item at a time, slowly (not eating "dining") in a clockwise fashion. 12noon to 3 to 6 to 9 and back to 12. Dunno why. Always have.

>at math, go figure.) I'm the same way when it comes to just about any set of numbers. I can remember my childhood phone numbers (such as the house I lived in for a couple of years when I was 6 and 7) -- even though I didn't use a telephone until I was about 16 when teletypes first came out. I can remember locker combinations, credit card and bank card numbers from memory, even if I only use it once or twice a year, Air Miles numbers (these things are 16 digits long, same as credit cards), library card numbers for all 4 of us, and if some idjut cuts me off in traffic and nearly cause an accident, I can remember the license plate number after I get to work or home a half hour later. When I was 9, we were in Stuttgart, Germany, and the bus stopped to let people go for lunch. I remembered seeing a McDonald's about 10-12 blocks back so I told my brother about it, so we out-voted my mom to go there for lunch. We walked there, had lunch, then my mom got lost trying to find our way back. I was able to remember all the nooks and crannies of a typical European maze-like route to find our way back to the bus. But if you ask me to go to the grocery store to pick up some milk and bread, I'll sometimes forget why I went there in the first place.

101. "RE: Tell me some of your quirks" |
Ohhhhhh where do I begin...1. I don't ever let anyone touch my feet and I can't sleep with any covering on them.
2. When at work I frequently make faces at my coworkers just to irritate the he!! out of them. 3. When really bored at work I will resort to the following - doing the hokey pokey or chicken dance when the assembly line breaks down (even if I'm the only one doing it), or singing songs by Pink Floyd, Nickelback, Creed, Marilyn Manson, Sheryl Crow, The Dixie Chicks, and Alanis Morisette. I do this for the same reason I do number two. (I work in a factory.) 4. I can't remember the last time I cooked something in or on a stove. I have one, and it probably works, but I just don't use it. I do frequently cook in the microwave, george forman grill, crock pot, and rice cooker. 5. I have slept thru the following: train whistles from 50 feet away, sirens from 10 feet away, an alarm clock that sounds like a large truck backing up, and two male cockatiels who imitate the alarm, sirens, roosters, and barking dogs as loudly as they possibly can. However, if a ticking clock is anywhere in my home, I will hear it and wake up. 6. I don't sleep at night, only during the day, but I still sleep with a 40 watt bulb on. 7. I tape horoscopes and fortune cookie fortunes to my bathroom mirror.(Not all I see, just the ones I really like.) 8. I have a windchime hanging in my bathroom. 9. I don't watch any reality tv shows.

102. "RE: Tell me some of your quirks" |
Quirks? Not liking to mix your food is considered a quirk? I'm in trouble then.I've gotten over not allowing it to touch, but I eat in rotation. Even if I have more food that I know that I can possible consume, I will order it (or cook it) just so that I can enjoy different flavors in rotation. DH has the same tendancy, I think. I live for appetizers. (I believe we were the only peeps at dinner in Niagara that were warned by the server that we were ordering more food than we should for just the two of us. (Pepe & Pene, don't worry about our sharing with Pippy. We wanted the taste, and he, and others, were our hedge against total waste of leftovers.  ) Others? Hmmm... Don't touch my actual kneecap. My knee has had a tendancy to "go out" and I'm wary of any pressure. (My "knee", ie. the upper side of my actual kneecap, is okay.) Most noticable in a private setting... When I'm going to bed I want the room cool (or cold, snow on the floor is fine as long as I have a comforter on the bed) and DARK. If there is light in the room I want a blindfold. And, even with a blindfold, if there is a full moon and you happen to be in bed with me you can probably prepare for a bad night, yourself. I will toss & turn and not sleep well. And, I never made the connection until dh finally did. And, I don't usually pay any attention to the moon phases. So, y'all can drop your psychological werewolf/wolf comments now. I MUST have a pillow, or pillows, to hug. And, they need to stretch fom my knees to under my chin. No. Hugging "you", whoever you are, won't help. First of all, you're too warm to be comfortable. Secondly, I can't roll you over with me when I change sides. And, btw, I need to be on the left side of the bed when you are facing it from the foot - or on the left bed if it is a hotel room with 2 beds and we're sleeping separatly. (I don't quite understand that one myself, but it works out that way.) And, I hope you like the scent of Eucalyptus. I do. I can sleep without just a tad of Vicks in my nose and over my sinuses, but I sleep so much better with it. (And, it does wonders for any breakouts.) Public quirks? Not so many. Please... When I ask for a glass of ice with my after dinner tea just bring it without a lot of questions. No, I don't want iced tea (can't stand the stuff), but I also don't want to sear off my mouth tissues or wait for 1/2 hr. before it is cool enough (yet still plenty hot) to drink.

No, I don't want to "split one" with you. I want my own. I want my own dish, fork, spoon, and napkin. I do NOT want you to stick your fork into my meal/dessert and THEN ask "If I mind if you try it" Now? no, I don't mind, but I am not eating anymore of it, and YOU are paying for it. I'm done. And, NO, I don't care if you just ran the Boston Marathon on a hot summer afternoon, you CANNOT sip from my straw or share my drink. I will gladly get you or buy you one, but No, I am NOT sharing with you. (When I was 16, my friend Jennifer and I shared a can of soda at the beach. THEN she told me that she had "just gotten over having Mono, but was fine now. Guess what *I* had for the rest of the summer? Badly? Mononucleosis. From Jennifer sharing my soda with me. Apparently, she wasn't QUITE over it yet. So, this is not totally irrational, either.) HOWEVER, anyone I've been dating or married to? Same rules apply. Baffles them. I don't care. My food. My drink. I paid. My rules. (I always pay for myself.)

Back in the day when I was coaching youth baseball I followed strict routines before/during games:1. Never, never, never get a haircut (or shave) on game day.
2. I would put each item of my uniform on in specific order, even if it meant getting completely nakie first.
3. When coaching either first or third base, I would erase the lines marking the coaching box, starting with a cut in the center, then moving along the line -- first away from home, then returning to the center and working my way towards home.
4. Never, never, never touch homeplate while walking to or from the dugout.
5. Never, never, never put any equipment away until the final out of the game is recorded. No matter what the score.
6. You don't talk about a game being won until it is over.
