Weird Habits...What Are Yours? DON"T BE SCURRED!!!
 

The tv must be on when I fall asleep or else I don't sleep.

I can't eat my Ice cream unless its soft

For temperature control I usually sleep with one leg above the sheets and one under.

I don't like ice cubes in my drink at a fast food restauraunt.

Radio has to be on when I take a shower...

I check my email and surf the internet before I get ready in the morning.

For some reason I can't go to sleep if one of the bedroom closet doors is open

I also sometimes sleep w/one leg under the cover, one over

When i eat a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich (only), i eat it in circles. ill take a bite, rotate the sandwhich, take another bite, rotate the sandwhich and so on.

I find myself arranging my wardrobe by colors and height. Left to right - always. So for example this is what hangs from left to right:

-Jeans
-Slacks
-Skirts
-Dresses
-Blouses (short sleeve first)
-Blazers
-Suits

My shoes are arranged the same way too.

Mild form of OCD..LOL

:D

I have to go to sleep to the sound of water. I have a massage mat that plays ocean sounds, rainforest, rain, thunderstorm, & heartbeat. I have played either the ocean or rain every night for years. The problem is, it goes off every hour, and I wake up as soon as it goes off and have to reset it. :o

I cannot go to sleep if my arm or hand is hanging over my bed. Don't know why, but I can't.

I cannot swallow pills. I have to chew everything.

Everything I eat has to be cold, if it's not I can't eat it until it's been in the 'fridge.

I have to iron everything I wear, even sweatpants.

Even if I'm having a cold drink of water or soda, I have to put ice in it.

I put mine in the microwave for a couple of seconds.
I can't go to sleep unless the door is closed.

Tickled Pink,

Have you tried getting a CD with the water sounds and putting it on repeat?

When I eat a slice of pizza, I have to break the crust off. Then nibble on the crust after each bite of pizza.

My french fries have to be soft. I WILL not eat a crispy fry ;)

The only thing that I can think of is when I'm in a car, I have to have the window cracked just a litte (even in the dead of winter)....otherwise I freak out

Yes. But I'm the old El cheapo.
i'll have to find one 'cause my infant also wakes up as soon as it goes off.

If you have a Ross or TJ Maxx in your area, try them. They have nature sound CD's priced for us bargin shoppers. That's where I buy my CD's that I use in office.

Do you guys have "Dollar Tree" where you live? They have all of these nature and water cds for just ONE DOLLAR. I brought a couple. I wonder if I can convert them to mp3s and share them with you....

I was just talking about this the other day! I don't eat candy bars anymore really, but when I do/did...

Butterfinger: I had to let all the chocolate melt in my mouth first so I'd sit there with the thing dangling out of my mouth for the LONGEST. Then, each layer had to be eaten separately. It was like a ritual!

I cannot sleep unless I'm naked.

I talk to the TV esp. during soaps and talk shows

I feel like I'm really cooking if I talk like I'm on a cooking show

Stuffed animals (esp. elephants) cannot be in my house unless they have a name and a backstory

My cordless phone has to be on the base once I'm done with a call

When eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (choke and slide) I must have chocolate milk to dip it in. Not white, chocolate milk.

Can't sleep in socks
Can't sleep w/o undies on
Can't sleep nekkid (tried always wake back up to put gear on)


have dustbuster in the bathroom for when my hair sheds (can't stand hair everywhere).


I have loads of others but then you guys might think I;m weird :D

I meant to post this in this thread, not create another one...

Here goes...

When I was younger, I couldn't go to sleep without noice..tv or radio preferrably. My boyfriend shook me out of that real quick, though (he can't sleep with noise).

But current weird things:

*I hate the look and sound of feet rubbing against carpet. I CANNOT see or hear it, otherwise, I get a real ansy, nauseous feeling.

*I cannot sleep without ALL doors closed

*I have to sleep with a pillow in between my legs (no, it's not sexual!). I just have to have both legs level..maybe it helps my spine or something...

*I don't like sitting still...If I'm sitting for long periods of time, I either have to move one leg left and right or both legs (like the thigh machines at the gym). At the least, cross my legs at the ankles and shake my feet back and forth.

I always eat chicken biscuits or sausage biscuits meat first, then the bread.

I also can't sleep without some kind of noise, so I play the radio all night.

Re: Weird Habits...What Are Yours? DON"T BE SCURRED!!!
 

i do that

i do that, too

i can't have cookies without milk

I don't like going to the restroom, so I hold it until the very last minute.

I do this as well. And the bedroom door must be shut, or I can't sleep.

Say, uhhh.....can I holla atcha for a minute? Right this way, please...;)


Anyway, my weird habits are:

If I am eating a cereal with raisins in it, I eat it in such a way that I will always have a proportionate cereal to raisin ratio at all times.

Similarly, if I am eating a dinner with meat, a vegetable and side dish, I eat the vegetables first, then I eat the rest in such a way that I have a 1:1 ratio of meat to side dish. If the meal is really good (especially if I am eating bread or a roll), I will eat the last bit of meat, side dish, and bread in one fell swoop to savor the diverse cornucopia tapestry of flavors.

I cannot eat breakfast or dessert without coffee.

Speaking of breakfast, I only eat continental breakfasts (pastries, cereal, toast, fruit, maybe pancakes or waffles). I can't eat bacon, sausage, eggs, potatoes, etc. for breakfast. I can't handle all that grease in my stomach first thing in the morning.

- I sleep with the television on.

- If I'm alone the bathroom light must be on.

- I read my magazines from back to front.

- I don't like ice in any of my drinks at all, not ever!

- I have to have something sweet to drink with a hot meal and water doesn't cut.

- Sunday mornings I have to have Dunkin Donuts coffee.

- I have to sleep with cover all year'round.

- The bathroom is my favorite room of the house.

- I cannot take naps during the day.

- I love to eat ceral at anytime of the day.

- I have to sleep with my blinds open not matter how bright it is in the morning and the window open, and cracked in the dead of winter.

- I dip my french fries in either sour cream or McDonalds Tartar Sauce and I love eating slightly burnt hotdogs with mustard.

I can only eat ice cream soft (trust me, I will microwave it for a few seconds)

I put sour cream in my mexican rice

If I eat burgers, ketchup is a dip

I have to have covers when I sleep

It has to be absolutely dark and quiet when I go to bed at night

If I purchase an article of clothing or some shoes, if I like both colors and cant make up my mind, I'm buying both. :D

I thought of another one. I don't like tomatoes on food except for on a roastbeef sanwich or in a salad, otherwise I just like to slice them up and put salt and pepper on them and eat them.

Ummm girl stop playing I know I already think that...he he he

I can't sleep without my feet being covered, but I can't sleep with socks on.

I only use Ranch dressing as a dip

I eat my fries (when I ate fries) first, before the meal

My toilet paper has to place so that the piece hanging is close to the cabinet or wall or whatever.

I only drink tea for breakfast monday through friday, but not on the weekends

I am a human alarm clock, I wake up every morning at 4 or 5 am, on the weekend, it so difficult to "sleep in"

I almost forgot a few. I can't eat cheese on food, besides a pizza, and sometimes I get it cheese-less

I don't eat food with fruit in it, like a salad with oranges or apples in it or rice with grapes...

I also don't eat some food with nuts in them, like salads and rice. It can only be Asian food.

I wear socks to bed [even if the rest of me is nekkid] b/c my toes get realllly cold....Then as I'm falling asleep I take them off.

I can not sleep with closet doors open or bedroom door shut.

I won't wear satin pajamas when satin sheets are on the bed....Learned a listen:o

I only like to use Charmin TP...I carry some in my purse.

I hate noise and light when I'm sleeping, so I have to sleep with my sleepmask on and my earplugs in.

I need to have the morning news on when I'm getting dressed.

I can't sleep with one pillow, even its new and fluffy. I need 2-3.

Another one...
 

My underclothes have to match the color of my outfit....(my friends make fun of me) :(


I don't eat oranges, but drink orange juice

I cannot drink white milk out of a glass (it will come back up.)

But I can take that same glass of white milk, pour it in cereal and have no problem.


Went through a phase as a teenager where I had to "de-construct" the Big Mac. Ate the top bun first, then the pattie, then the middle bun, etc...phase ended, now I'm "regular" again.

I thought I was the only one that did that!!! My husband thinks I'm crazy! :D

I have to have at least one foot from under the covers when I sleep.

After I eat cereal, I will not drink the milk.

I'm not too crazy about onions, but I love onion rings!

I go to sleep with a TV on.

If I purchase a magazine, it'll take me about a week before I actually read it!

I can't sleep if the closet door is open. It has to be closed.

I don't like eating food with a creamy texture like whipped cream or pudding.

I don't eat anything filled (jelly donuts, eclairs, etc.)

I have sensative teeth and don't bite into anything too hot or too cold with my front teeth.

I find going to the bathroom to be an inconvenience.

sigh....and I thought you were my friend!


No more Ranch for you!

Re: Another one...
 

Not only do they have to match my outside they have to be a set for me. I hate wearing mis-matched stuff. I will put it back if I can't find it's mate. If I don't go to Vicky's Secret annual sales on the first day to find sets I don't go because i never find sets on the later days.

I can't sleep without socks on

Closet door must be closed at night

Can't sleep without the t.v. on

I eat vinegar in my cabbages and greens

I sleep with one leg in, one leg out.

I hate onions, but will eat them ONLY on McDonald's cheeseburgers and certain kinds of onion rings.

I love Utz Sour Cream and Onion chips and must eat them at least twice a week.

I put Ranch dressing on everything... and wish I could find the brand of dressing Ruby Tuesday's uses b/c I LOVE that kind.

I need to sleep with noise or else I wake up every hour on the hour.

I have to sleep with two pillows.

I do the sock thing too, (wear them to bed, then take them off, usually in the middle of the night)
