I hate having socks on when I'm sitting down. I always take them off, and I can't have them on when I'm sleeping.

I cannot have pants on when I'm sleeping. I always have to take them off, or it drives me insane.

I can't sleep without my cat next to me but I can't STAND her meowing when she wants out.

I hate darkness. When I wake up I turn ALL the lights on. I sleep with my lights on as well as a night light.

I can't sleep with pillows. It feels wierd on my neck.

I can't go one day without listening to Eminem. Seriously. If I go the day without listening to him, I listen to him before I go to bed.

My shower water has to be hot enough to burn my feet when I first get in. I hate warm or cold showers. It has to be hot.

I strongly, strongly perfer to be barefoot, everywhere I go. When I go camping in the summer I never bring shoes in my suitcase. They're very callused now, ever since I went into 110*F weather barefoot, and scorched my feet and then couldn't walk on them for a week. It still didn't phase me - I still went everywhere barefoot. If I go anywhere in the summer, even to go to the store or walk around the lake, or even go for a walk down the street, I don't bring any shoes at all. Often times in the snow, I don't wear shoes. I love running in the rain barefoot. LOVE IT.

Yeah, I know what you mean, I'm the same way. Warm/cold water just isn't good enough.

 

[tessa_s212]

I do this, too! Ever since I got sick, I have been more cold, so now I don't wake up in the middle of the night hot win win there :lol-sign:


I can not STAND to be 'static'y. It really freaks me out. I will change clothes, wet my hair - staticy hair = . And I carry dryer sheets in my coat pockets and I have a spare in my purse.

Oh, and if I'm wearing something and the zipper gets stuck I have to calm myself down because I'll get panicky (clausterphobic feeling). Same if necklace latch gets stuck and I have a hard time getting it undone. Good thing I have friends that will come rescue me from my evil clothes :rofl1:

Yea, I'm weird

Meeee too about the zipper getting stuck!!

I hate, hate, hate static. I remember back in the trampoline days, I'd always jump off by jumping over the metal so I wouldn't get static shock. And I hate getting out of a car nad getting shocked when I go to close the door, and I hate static hair! I'll literally scream and run away if someone tries to give me static shock!!

 

[Puckstop31]

I hae o smell every glass, plate, cup, bowl I use.

it strange, and such a force of habit now I dont even notice I do it. Until some one sees and asks what I am doing.

Interesting.

How does that work in a resturant? I am genuinely curious. LOL

 

[Puckstop31]

- If pants have belt loops, a belt must be worn.

- Socks MUST be matching, perfectly.

- Hannah gets the clean hands from me. I must wash my hands 50 times a day.

 

[Taqroy]

I have to shake my feet off before I get out of the shower. It's actually the reason my family calls me Kit cuz I've been doing it since I was a kid.

I CANNOT stand it when people breathe really loudly through their nose. It drives me nuts.

If I'm driving and wearing long sleeves or a jacket and it doesn't cover my wrists when my arms are stretched out the sleeves must be pushed up.

That's all I can think of but there's probably more.

 

[Georgygirl]

I set three alarms to wake up in the morning even though I usually get up before they go off and end up turning them off.

I have to check that I set them correctly three times before I'm actually satisfied that they are set.

I constantly check that I have my keys, phone, and wallet with me.

I hate sheets because I feel like I'm trapped. My bed has a fitted sheet and then I have a blanket. I don't like my feet covered when I'm sleeping.

I shake my foot constantly. I hardly notice I'm doing it until people start complaining about me shaking the table or the car. I even do it when I'm trying to sleep and don't stop until I've actually fallen asleep. Luckily bf can sleep right through it.

I hate mascots.....they creep me out. Something about not being able to see their faces. So no Disneyland for me, I'd hate it.

 

[Gypsydals]

I can not go anywhere barefoot. If I do not have some sort of shoe on my foot I won't get up in fear that I will step on something. I have to have a sheet covering me no matter how hot it is out to go to sleep and it has to cover my feet. I can't sleep if its quiet or completely dark so I have to leave a tv. My towels have to folded and stacked a certain way. I do not like others near my flowers doing anything even if its just weed eating on the other side of the borders. I know I have others, just can't think of them at the moment. LOL

 

[MicksMom]

…When I put on a jacket, & Im wearing a long sleeve shirt, I have to hold my sleeves and make sure they don't get scrunched up or I am so so so so uncomfortable. and they can't be like twisted and the seams have to be right lol.

I hear ya!

…If I'm driving and wearing long sleeves or a jacket and it doesn't cover my wrists when my arms are stretched out the sleeves must be pushed up. ..

I can’t stand it if long sleeves don’t cover my wrists when I’m driving, either. And, getting back once again to the everything must be even thing- if I push my sleeves up, they have to be pushed up the same distance. Same with my socks. I hate it if one sock falls down.

… I can't sleep if its quiet or completely dark so I have to leave a tv…

Same here. Even when I have a migraine, I have to have the light and tv on low. Weird, because I have my eyes covered with a washcloth. Oh yeah- when I have a migraine and cover my eyes, I have to fold the washcloth so it doesn’t come down any further than my glasses do. I can’t have it near my nostrils.

 

[Dekka]

ok chazers are weird

Ok my weirdness. I hate socks. I would love to go barefoot at all times. Heck I just went out and got an armload of wood barefoot (yes that was down the cement steps and across ice and snow.. barefoot I don't like muddy cold feet but other than that my feet like to be nekkid.

I hate alarm clocks. I swear I will have a heart attack from them one day. I just wake up when I need to. No alarm clocks necessary. (though my internal snooze button is a bit dodgy)

I love loads of heavy blankets but hate being warm. So I like my room cold. Cold as in not much above freezing if possible. Seems my paternal grandmother was the same way. Slept with her window open a crack even in the winter till the day she passed.

 

[sparks19]

as far as the coat sleeves while driving....

I CANNOT wear a coat while driving. I can't. I take it off before I get in the car. I cannot stand to have it on while I'm driving

 

[PWCorgi]

I have 'good' and 'bad' numbers. Nothing can be set on an odd number, with the exception of multiples of five, those are safe. This goes for basically everything. Funnily enough my sister has the same safe numbers too.

Yes! I can't rest unless my car radio is set to a multiple of five, or an even number. Even if it's not the best listening volume.

I set three alarms on my phone and then check several times to make sure it isn't on silent. I am so paranoid of over sleeping, probably from one too many times of waking up to Panera calling to see if I'm going to be to work that day

I have to be to classes at least 15-20 minutes early. I end up sitting outside the classroom and doing homework, but I have to be there.

When I stop at a red light I constantly move my shift knob from 1st to 2nd. I think this one came from learning to drive because I was always terrified I was going to be in reverse instead of 1st (reverse on VWs is on the left of 1st). Drives Ryan and some of my friends nuts.

 

[mrose_s]

I feel unbalanced if I don't even some things out. Like if I turn a 360 to the right I have to turn back to the left to feel "balanced" again. Sometimes it gets to me when I watch other people turn and not turn back.

I get anxious at the train station that I might just fall off the tracks in front of a train so I always stand wayy back, I also feel the same if I have a knife in my hand while making toast, like I might just stick the knife in by accident.

Frog phobia, they're adorable but they terrify me. Snakes and spiders don't faze me though.

 

[Xandra]

I hate alarm clocks. I swear I will have a heart attack from them one day. I just wake up when I need to. No alarm clocks necessary. (though my internal snooze button is a bit dodgy)

LOL this! My internal one is pretty good but it has failed me once or twice, and I wasn't built with a snooze button. and so I have a radio alarm clock... which is tolerable for me, because it's not the same sound. I had this CD alarm clock that was really cheap and I couldn't figure out how to get it to play anything but the first song on a disk. I had one CD in there for a while and that same sound every morning gave me the strangest most horrible feeling. My entire chest would go tight, like an exhausted strained panicky feeling. I started waking up just before it went off.

I go barefoot all the time. Well, lately not so much because everything is gross and muddy and then I have to wash my feet off in the laundry tub and clean the floor before I can go back on the carpet, and that is just annoying. But whenever I'm not going to be inconvenienced by it I go barefoot. In my childhood I wasn't so concerned about washing my feet off and I never wore shoes in the yard. Climbing trees, exploring fallen down sheds (I stepped on many, many rusty nails), walking to the park. Shoes are just no fun for that sort of thing lol.

I must have weight on me when I sleep but I too like a cool room. Not as cold as Dekka's describing, though up until this past winter or so I've slept with the window open. In winters gone by I would leave it completely open but my father just about had an aneurysm because of the heating bill, so I had to settle for cracked.

I don't like having gucky hands. For instance, if I'm doing chicken I wash my hands over and over, even when the next step is to touch the chicken again.

I despite being trapped in clothing. You know when you try on something that's too small and then you can't get it off (hopefully this doesn't just happen to me LOL). That's about as close as I get to having a phobia.

I hate fluorescent lights... ESPECIALLY if I can hear them. UGH.

I prefer to have the lights off and navigate in darkness. Or have soft glowy lights. Bright glaring lights don't jive with me.

Also I can't go down stairs really quickly anymore. Perferably I will descend at a decent pace, but holding onto the rail and looking at the steps. Otherwise I get this feeling I will fall (because I did a couple times lol, that's what you get for have poor coordination.)

 

[GlassOnion]

I hae o smell every glass, plate, cup, bowl I use.

I kind of do this, but it's more of everything. Most everything has a smell to me and so I gotta smell it.

I don't smell everything, but I smell all foods and drink before I eat/drink it. I smell wood, clothes, towels, animals, etc. Though I do 'control' it in public and don't smell everything, or try to be more discrete about it.

Dunno, everything has a smell to me and it's interesting to see what has weird smells. Area between dog's tarsal pads? Smells just like Frito pies.

Also I love the smell of Best Buy, Lowe's, and Sears. Hate the smell of a dentist's office and hospitals.

 

[ACooper]

Ok, I think Dekka just wrote about ME! :rofl1:

Ok my weirdness. I hate socks. I would love to go barefoot at all times. Heck I just went out and got an armload of wood barefoot (yes that was down the cement steps and across ice and snow.. barefoot I don't like muddy cold feet but other than that my feet like to be nekkid.

Most definitely ME........I have socks on now because we just got back from dinner out and shoe shopping for Kevin's work shoes. And they are CHOKING ME.......Kevin laughs at that expression, but that's the best I can describe it.

I hate alarm clocks. I swear I will have a heart attack from them one day. I just wake up when I need to. No alarm clocks necessary. (though my internal snooze button is a bit dodgy)

Same here........I don't like being 'startled awake' it's a rush I can live without, LOL. Kevin has actually come to TRUST my internal clock and leave the alarm clock alone. He tells me the night before if he wants up earlier or later than normal and I haven't failed him yet I just seem to 'wake up' at the time I tell myself too.............sometimes within 5 minutes before or after, but never too far off. *phew* I thought perhaps I was a weirdo for this 'talent' because I don't really know anyone else who does this, LOL

I love loads of heavy blankets but hate being warm. So I like my room cold. Cold as in not much above freezing if possible. Seems my paternal grandmother was the same way. Slept with her window open a crack even in the winter till the day she passed.

Again..........you are my TWIN! I LOVE to see my breath in the room when I'm ready to sleep. I want to be WARM under blankies, but love to breathe cold, cold air. Kevin is NOT in agreement, hence, I don't rest nearly as well at his temperature in the room.

 

[tessa_s212]

If the alarm clock is on certain bad numbers (particularly 7, 17, 27, 37...), I won't get up until the next minute comes around.

 

[Taqroy]

as far as the coat sleeves while driving....

I CANNOT wear a coat while driving. I can't. I take it off before I get in the car. I cannot stand to have it on while I'm driving

I used to be this way but then I had to start leaving my house at five and my body and brain refuse to wake me up early enough to go start my car. Lol. So its either freeze to my steering wheel and not be annoyed or be nice and toasty and irritated with my sleeves.

I also am paranoid about my alarm clock. I check it every night even though I never change it. I'm obsessively early to everything (except work but that's because its hard to gauge when I can get in anyway - also no one cares when I get there).

I hate hate hate rattling noises when I'm driving. I have to have my music up or be talking to someone when I drive because my dashboard won't stop rattling. Its driving me crazy!

 

[iwantmypup]

I feel unbalanced if I don't even some things out. Like if I turn a 360 to the right I have to turn back to the left to feel "balanced" again. Sometimes it gets to me when I watch other people turn and not turn back.

OMG! I have never knew that anyone else did that!
I do the same thing. It annoys me that i do it, but I have to unless I feel weird.
Ill usually avoid turning all the way around lol.

 

[mrose_s]

lol glad I'm not the only one. My sisters favourite trick is to spin around the chair I'm on if it will spin. I just have to count how many times I go round so I can avoid it.
Also looks awkward if I turn too far in public and have to turn all the way back for "no reason" lol
