Quirks

I have a list of quirks about myself that's a mile long. As I was making coffee this morning I was reminded of one of them. I will make 5 cups of coffee on a Monday, drink one cup and stick the coffee pot in the fridge and just refill my cup each morning, heat it in the microwave and be on my way. I've told people that before and they look at me like I'm craaaaazy. I already knew I was so that's nothing new.

If I'm wearing tennis shoes I rarely untie them when I take them off. Literally I will struggle taking my shoes off if they are tied snuggly. This really makes no sense to me because I have to untie them to put them on the next time so it's not like I'm saving myself any time. I'm also probably ruining my shoes somehow.

While washing my face in the shower the other day I realized that I always wash it a certain way. If that certain way varies or changes I get all thrown off my routine and have to start all over again. Oh yes, I am craaaaaazy.

I have this odd thing I do that actually drives me crazy. When I'm driving and I see signs or billboards I count how many vowels are the words. Also, I put certain words in alphabetical order. This quirk actually made me go to the doctor's office once. I was literally too busy counting and alphabetizing that I wasn't paying attention to my driving. OCD, much? (Oh Internet, I MUST be nuts to tell you this one.)

When I type I always, always, always spell certain words wrong. Wierd, suprise, infromation, waht and a few others. I know how to spell these words but my brain, for whatever reason, cannot seem to spell these words properly. I thank the stars for spell check on a daily basis.

Since I got my iPhone I have the awful habit of playing solitaire or Mahjong while watching television. This is not technically a quirk of mine as opposed to an habit I need to break. I started doing this to keep my hands busy so I wouldn't stuff my face all night long.

Do you have quirks that you care to share? Tell me!

For some reason every reason I type the word "survey" it comes out as "survery." No idea why.

Also, I do that thing with my sneakers, too.

I do the EXACT same thing with typing. It hasn't led to any ackward or dissapointing scenarious or anything!

LOL! You have OCD or something. I might post some of mine on my blog.

We all have our quirks and let me tell you some of my quirks are truly odd. I might get brave and post them on my blog

I spell certain wrongs all the time when I type such as clinician! I also, never untie or tie my shoes when I take them on and off.

Micah pointed out that I'm the weirdest drinker ever. I make a crazy face. I'm working on straightening my face out.

I hate onions and burnt orange.

i dont untie my shoes when i take them off and i really dont even know anyone who does do that. but when i put them on i dont untie them i just struggle to slip them on and then get aggrivated when i go someplace and one of the laces feels so loose i might walk right out of my sneaker which results in me retieing it right there at the store, or me walking funny so that doesnt happen. yet i seem to not learn the lesson and continue to just slip them on which is why i go ruin sneaker faster then the norm.

You made me laugh so hard with this post! I find the billboard thing so interesting - but as far as playing with your iPhone while watching TV, I HAVE to have my BB in my hand and be doing something on it...sometimes I get so engrossed with my BB I have to rewind the damn show - which is truly annoying.
