just "how" wierd are ya., a study in eccentricities..

[AngeliaH]

I can't have the clocks synchronized. Heard it wad bad luck when I was a kid and it stuck.

I never take a drink while eating. Save it till after I'm done.

I dip my fries in mayonnaise.

Numbers have to double starting with 2-4-8-16 etc.

Sleep with my glasses on in case there's an emergency in the middle of the night I don't have to look for them.

The whole house can be a mess but my closet looks like hyper active OCD maid lives in it.

Dust on electronic components.

I knew that was going to bring jokes. Just wanted to see how right I was.

The change in my console of my truck has all heads facing up.

t get any of the paste in the primer pockets.

Can't stand it when the clocks in the house aren't synchronized to within one minute.

I use to set my clocks ahead the closer they were to the front door in a previous home.

I can't set the clock ahead like some people do so they "won't be late". I'll know I set it ahead and therefore know the real time. Even if somebody else were to do it, as soon as I figured it out, it'd be back to "knowing".

You guys are starting to make me feel normal even though I know that I am not.

Morning routine brush teeth, shower,put on clothes, go for a smoke and then go to the bathroom. Always even if I'm late for something that's my morning routine. If I run any errands I have to get them done as early as possible.

I thought y'all were a bunch of kooks, then started thinking. Clocks in the house must be exactly correct. My watch has to be within a second or so of the naval observatory time. I go NOWHERE ('cept on a plane) without a pocketknife in my right front pocket. Hell, I put it in my PJ's when cruising the house. Sockets, after use, must be cleaned and restored to their proper order. My tire pressures must never fall below the proscribed amount.

I'm gonna die laughing if I start seeing ads for shrinks on TGT.

I gotta try this mute and create own dialogue thing. Sounds fun.

 

[benenglish]

toilet paper has to come over the top (toward you) I'll change it in the kids house, cause it's just not right..

Toilet paper must come out from the bottom. The other direction is only used by people who have never had a cat in their house.

I'll defer to you on the cat issue Ben.. my pet experience is limited to dog's.. now fess up on the eccentric behavior hidding behind that epic beard of yours..

Really is, and in direct perportion to the amount of adult beverages consumed..

I read every post and I'm just shocked! You folks worry about so many things! As for me, I am characterized as not giving a flip about much of anything. Any way a hand gets dealt, I'll pick it up and run with it.

There are some exceptions.

I hate looking for tools and I have a LOT of them. My tool boxes may not be neat but they're well organized. I know WHERE something is stored and I don't need to search for a particular tool.

I love to cook and keep a neat house. Unless, I pick up a sausage biscuit at the arches, I eat every meal at home. My dishes are washed, laundry is done and folded unless I'm sick or don't feel well.

Now, here's a thriller.................. I have pretty serious allergy problems. I pulled every stitch of carpet out of my house and had ceramic tile installed everywhere. Tile is easy to keep clean and I love it that way. The problem now is that dust gets on my furniture more than when I had carpet. The reason is that the carpet used to catch and retain all of the dust and turn the carpet into one giant, creepy dust ball! That is disgusting to me!

Rog, can't you try one of those steam mops.. second thought, try a dyson 'monster' I KNOW those puppys work, G is a compulsive vacumer.. as in every other day compulsive.. we recently got a monster.. she went over the same area she did the day before (I watched this, so fact) filled half the container..

 

[ROGER4314]

I use a wet rag or one of those magnetic dusters on the furniture but it's amazing how fast the dust settles without the carpet! For the tile floor, I use a 24" dry dust mop or a wet mop if I got mud on the floor.

I have ceiling fans everywhere and they roll the dust into "Ghost turds" that are easy to sweep up.

Referring back to the OP, the amount of dust that must have been in that carpet before we removed it, just freaks me out!

^^^ If it was up to me, I would do the same as you with the carpets.

 

[40Arpent]

The one about having your back to the wall in public places doesn't strike me as odd or eccentric....it's part of the male DNA.

I am the same as some of you with numbers on dials or displays....has to be set to an even number.

I am also the type of person that has to be everywhere early, especially the airport. If I am not at the gate AT LEAST 1 hour before boarding call, it drives me nuts.

Lastly, and maybe my most peculiar, is that I wipe my butt with toilet paper, then finish with wet wipes. I carry wipes with me pretty much everywhere I go that I expect to have use the bathroom. At work, this is not feasible, so before going into the stall, I make my own wipes (several wet paper towels). IMO, whoever came up with the idea of wiping a shitty ass with dry, flimsy paper, was a moron. LOL! Friends of mine who knew this used to make fun of me for it, but several have converted to my method. ;-)
