"Quirky and Weird are two very different things..."

[mrsmonogrammed]

I never ever ever put my spaghetti sauce on top of my noodles, they must go side by side.

When I put on deodorant each armpit must have the same number of swipes, but the # changes daily based on what "feels right".

I'm sure there are more, lol

Dirty dishes should be put in the sink to wash not put by the counter near the sink.

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMGOMGOMGOGMOGMOGMGOMGOMGMOGOMGOGMGM

This causes so much rage in me every single day. MIL only puts dirty dishes on the counter NEXT TO AN EMPTY SINK. This drives me fucking bonkers.

There are days where I walk in to the kitchen and legit just swipe my arm and across the counter so everything is flung into the sink.

I cannot fucking stand it.

Phew. I am glad I could get that out.

No. No. No. if you put the dishes IN the sink, then when you go to do them you have to put all he now sink-scugy dishes back on the counter to have an empty sink to clean them. If the dishes just go on the counter, you can sort - out whatever goes in the dishwasher in there and then the rest gets cleaned in the empty sink. It drives me nuts when company tries to "help" by putting dishes in the sink.

I have a very specific Oreo eating method - first one half comes off and is eaten. Then the cream is removed and set to the side while the second cookie is eaten, then the cream is enjoyed last.

A) we have a single, deep sink, not a double sink. Those are the devil. We do lots of cooking with very large pots, so we made sure we were getting a single sink to make washing the large things easier.
B) you need an empty sink to have enough room to wash aforementioned giant pots/pans. Are you all using micro pans or something?

Also, it should be noted that one of my quirks that drives H nuts is that dishes must be done within an hour or two of dinner being done. They cannot sit around. Counters get a quick wipe-down once dishes are done.

No micro pans, but pans are the last thing washed. They sit on the stove until I have washed everything else and have room!

Do you just eat the sauce on its own??

Lol no. I will take a fork full of noodles and swirl them in the sauce before eating.

carrots wins so far! Im so interested.. why 2011? Is it really EVERY day?! Do you never just like, accidentally skip lunch? Is it on a reoccurring rotation?! How far ahead into the future does it go? I must know! I literally do not know what I had for lunch yesterday lol I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around 6 years of meals on a spreadsheet!

[periwinkledaydreams]

I talk out loud to myself, like full on conversations,in the car, in the mirror, in the bathroom.. pretty much whenever Im by myself. Also sometimes when Im not by myself.

Whenever Im in a public restroom stall theres always this terrifying moment when Im unsure if what Ive just been thinking about has been in my head or if Ive been saying it all out loud.

My husband would agree with you about dishes not being piled in the sink jillywilly. We have a small kitchen with only a single sink, so there's not much room even with just a few things in the sink.

[dogmama22]

I realized from a Facebook group that maybe this is different from the norm, but I like to brush my teeth in the shower.

[baytosa2013]

I don't know if this is quirky or weird but I can only wash my hair once...maybe twice a week. Too often it gets dry and weird.

Also I have to check to see my cats before I leave the house. They are indoor and I'm always paranoid they will get out.

I leave dishes overnight because they are not my responsibility they are DH's and I'm stubborn.

[pghtruelove]

I can only sleep in one kind of pants. The are yoga pants from old navy. I have 15 pairs.

[alayne926]

Dishes get rinsed and put on the counter to load. We have a dish drainer on one side of the sink and the garbage disposal side needs to stay empty to have room to rinse or soak pans.

I also have to do the same number of swipes with the deodorant under each arm.

I love the sound of cotton. When I'm really stressed out I'll just sit and rub cotton balls together near my ears.

I wear socks at the beach.... also I hate the beach because I hate being barefoot(hence the socks)

I am a really weird person, been told this my whole life.

I often ask my H if I told him something or if I thought it so loud I heard myself say it. I often haven't actually said it out loud.

I separate my noodles and sauce too!


..... but I eat them separately too....

[baytosa2013]

Speaking of rubbing something together I have to rub something soft in my fingers when I fall asleep. It used to be my moms nightgown when I was a kid but as an adult I have a pair of satin pajama bottoms. I don't wear them I just rub them. Even weirder...my kid does the same thing!

[ashbash]

Ive been super MIA but this thread was fantastic and made me remember why I love you weirdos

[sugarkissed]

Have also been MIA but let me contribute.

I don't eat the ends of my French fries. I don't know why, like I'll eat 90% of it and toss the end on the plate. I have to make a conscious effort to eat the entire fry.

Planning ahead stresses me out. When friends ask if I'm free on a date weeks in advance I hate it. Even if it's something I actually want to do, I hate having concrete plans and commitments.
