Post your utter strangeness!!!!

[Steffenfield]

Hopefully, I don't get a lol what, freak response, but here's a few of mine. This shall be continued if others chime in here.


The number volume on my TV has to be divisible by 4. Don't ask, unless you really want to know.

I can't bare the sound of a ticking clock, and if I was in your home and heard one, I thus will proceed to rip the battery out.

I once drove my company's medical van 105 MPH until it began shaking violently just for the chuckles.

Those speed radar signs that clock how fast you're driving and provides you with a digital readout, yeah, I always do a fly by past them hoping to top my high score.

I never lock the bathroom door, like anywhere, just in case I stroke out on the potty and need immediate rescue support.

I don't do silverware because I can imagine the history behind them and find it to be a complete pukefest. I only use plastic utensils instead.

And yeah, I'm just getting started here peeps.

Hopefully I didn't lose any friends on this.

So yeah, let yourself go and post your personal nonsense.

I also hate ticking clocks, if they are loud like the ones at my parents' house. My parents have too many clocks. *shudder* We do have one ticking clock in our living room, but it is quiet and I don't notice it. I don't think I could ever stand to have a ticking clock in the bedroom.

 

[Obzocky]

I will extend your dislike of ticking watches to ticking wrist watches. Sometimes I can clock the tick tick tick of one from across the room and then something has to be done to smother the sound.My grandfather had a beautiful grandfather clock (yeah ...) in the guest bedroom and it ended up driving me downstairs to sleep in the kitchen.

I HATE the television being on loud, if i'm alone i'll frequently set the volume to 8/12 at a push and find it quite uncomfortable when people turn it all the way up to 44. On that note the little numbers that pop up saying the current television volume have to be even. I don't know why, it looks prettier.

The number 7 has to be crossed, if I see an uncrossed 7 I will immediately whip out some sort of drawing utensil and cross it. This is a rather noticeable problem in exams/print outs as i'll go through adding the line to every seven in it. It annoys me that I cannot do this on the computer.

I have set routes I rarely deviate from in order to get to specific places, even if these routes take longer than others deviating from them causes panic and nausea to set in. Whoo!

I have to have some sort of light/quiet music playing at night otherwise I wont sleep, pitch blackness and dead silence does nothing other than keep me up till dawn. If i'm sharing a room then I can't sleep until the other person has slipped into the heavy breathing/snoring realm. I don't know why, if they're still up no matter how long I close my eyes under the covers i'll stay up until the breathing pattern switches.

 

[SweetDee]

I always hold my breath when there is a picture being taken of me. I don't know why I do this but I can not help it

I sometimes will read the bible out loud in different accents just for the fun of it.

When a great song comes on the radio or my ipod I can not leave the car until it is over. I feel like I am insulting the artist by turning it off.

For some reason I can hear peoples watches tick...more specifically my friends while we are in church service and it makes me want to scream.

I have to have absolute silence when I sleep. Even the sound of a plastic bag crinkling every now and then will keep me up until I get up and remove it from my room.


There is more but I don't want to over do it here...less is more.

 

[Niels]

Oh wait... I thought you were talking about *udder* strangeness.

n/m

 

[Steffenfield]

I'll just add one more here because I don't want this to turn into a race. *lol*

The way I self check to see if I'm getting fat is by pushing out my tummy using abdominal contractions, squeezing it with both my hands, bending over and then staring directly at it.

 

[TanteBelle]

When I do the dishes, I prefer if it were just me doing it (washing up at least!) because I always do it in a certain routine and I hate, absolutely hate it when people play balancing acts with dishes!!! I have to start with the cups and tupperware, then I do the bowls and plates, then I do the pots and pans, and then I do the cutlery! In inbetween all of those, I will stop to clear the tray before moving on to the next lot! Oh, and I hate it how people keep washing up till the water looks like soup!!! Gross!!!!!!

I refuse to wash up a dish that isn't rinced properly! I basically wash my dishes twice; first to get all the excess food off them and scrubbing them with a soapy scruber, and then in hot soapy water!

I colour code clothes line pegs to the clothes I'm hanging out! LOL! And I hang them out in a certain order!

When I iron, I have to iron the girls stuff first, then the boys, then the work clothes, then the tablecloths and teatowels and pillowcases!

But on a personaly note, my utter strangeness about me in person is that I can blow bubbles out of my left eye! Mwhahaha!

 

[Im_A]

I wash my hands whenever I think I touched someone dirty. When I was younger, I used to wash them so much my skin would crack. I only now have really dry skin because of how much I wash my skin.

I'll check to be sure the doors are locked when I leave, right now around 3-4x...it sometimes to fluxes to 12 plus.

I also get chills when I touch certain textures which leads me to hate those textures but I'll touch it again and again when I have it around me.

The first and last, yep, that's me too! Only I don't have dry skin because I wash my hands so often, I don't think I could ever have dry skin! LOL! And I don't touch that texture again! I hate it!

 

[Andrew12]

-I Have to check the locks on all doors & windows at least twice before I leave or sleep.
-I have to have absolute darkness and no sound except my fan, which HAS to be on year round.
-I eat equal amounts of everything on my plate in whatever order feels comfortable until I'm done.
-I cannot sleep without some kind of blanket on me.
-I hate condiments: ketchup,mustard,mayonnaise..etc.
-my hair cannot touch my collar or ears.
-I keep hand sanitizer on me at all times.
-If I change shoes, I also have to change socks.
-the volume on my TV must be either a double number, or and even number, or end on a 0 or 5.
- all my chicken,or turkey must be cooked very well done. (I don't eat beef at all)
-My tie must always be straight in line with my collar,belt buckle, and pants zipper.
-my cell phone is always on silent in public.


................. okay, gonna stop here............ lol

I also smell my hands a lot.
For no reason.

 

[Steffenfield]

I stick my finger in my belly button and bring it to my nose just to see if it smells like butt on that day. *lol*

you can fix that by. lol.

Just kidding......maybe..........

 

[Thunder Peel]

Oh man, where do I start?

*My brain needs to be distracted in order to focus. I can't concentrate unless I'm doing two or three things at once.

*Whenever I turn the volume up I always do it in degrees of two. I have no idea why.

*I have somewhat of an eidetic memory and my mind often takes photographs of events. I can remember the date, the weather, what someone was wearing, where they were sitting, what we talked about and even what thoughts were running through my mind. I don't take many photos because my mind already does that, it's just that no one else can see them but me.

*My reactions to some events are similar to Doc Brown's from Back to the Future. My sister said she enjoys watching my facial expressions when something happens, so apparently it's pretty humorous.

*I keep track of dates by music. If someone mentions 1983 I instantly think of albums and songs that were released that year. Again, I can't explain why.

*Smells often trigger memories for me. For some odd reason I can remember smells which apparently serves no real purpose except being fun.

*Heat rarely ever bothers me. I can wear three shirts in the middle of summer and never break a sweat.

*I can recite all four Indiana Jones films almost line for line.

*I'm kind of OCD about things being in chronological order. It bothers me if one of my books or films isn't in it's proper publication spot in relation to the others. Continuity is another thing I'm big on and I tend to bother my family by noticing things that are out of place in films (hair combed to the opposite side, watches that aren't working, different colors in different shots, etc.) Chalk it up to nerdiness.

*I LOVE random trivia and pop culture references.

 

[K9_Trainer]

Hmm lets see...

~I follow absolutely NO routine. Like, most people have some order of doing things in the morning when they wake up....I don't. I do things in total random order.

~Like thunder peel, I can't focus on one thing. I have a multi-track mind and actually focus better when I'm doing three things at once.

~I have an extremely visual mind. Sometimes when taking a test, I'll not know the answer to something, but I'll know EXACTLY what the page it was on in the book looks like. I'll know where the blocks of text were, where the paragraphs broke, where the pictures were, where the page number was, and where in the book it was at. Shame I can't remember what the text said XD. Same thing happens with places. I'll not know where a restaurant I've been to is, but I have a perfect picture in my mind of the street it was on, the parking lot, the building, buildings around it, sometimes even what cars were in the parking lot or parked on the street.

~I have frequently reoccurring terrorist, apocalypse and zombie dreams. But they aren't nightmares, they don't bother me.

~I have a house pigeon and a pet pig

~I'm a brutal editor. I will butcher my friend's papers and sometimes have to refrain from just rewriting the entire thing myself so its right.

~The above is about the only perfectionist quality you will see in me. I'm not a perfectionist about anything else.

~I'm constantly identifying birds. If I hear or see a bird, it gets identified by species mentally, and if I don't know what it is, I'll look it up as soon as I can. Its gotten to the point now where I can often tell what a bird is just by how it flies, or what its call is. I can even tell when its a mocking bird that's imitating the call of another bird and not the bird that actually makes the call.

~I like mixing 3 or 4 different cereals in the same bowl.

 

[Mess]

- Always leave as late as possible, which in 4years time only resulted in my missing the bus about 3 or 4 times by a minute, meaning I had to wait for an hour for the next one, which is great because that means I can get back to bed for something like half an hour.
- Have a few routines on the tenniscourt I do no matter what the circumstances. For example I always tap the bottom of my shoes with my racket, which is something most players do on gravel, no matter what the surface is I'm playing on. Also love to wear a cap, even when playing indoors
- Always try to sleep on the bus, as I can't sleep before 3am, and I always have to get out of bed extremely early, but can't sleep with someone next to me, which results in a long busride(2hours to school, and another 2hours back)
- Always postpone things I don't like doing, like for example writing papers.
- Tend to not pick up the phone when I don't know the number, can't stand speaking on the phone to people I don't know.
- Do most of my thinking in English eventhough my native language is Dutch. Result of which is that I sometimes find it difficult to find the Dutch word for something. Something that has gotten worse since I had a severe concussion.
- Tend to link certain moments that happen in my life to certain songs. So when something happens I can just hear the music playing in the back of my mind.

Can't think of anything else really.

Okay, I don't do that!!!

 

[scraparcs]

...but I'm strange?

Well, I hate the sound of cars that don't start?

 

[canehdianhotstuff]

I have to sleep with music on or a TV.

There can be no light in the room, drives me nuts. I will even go as far as to put clothes around the door so light cant shine through.

I never lock the house doors. Only the bathroom doors at someone elses place if they have kids.

I eat potatoes with mustard. Dill pickle chips with peanut butter. Eggs, potatoes, cucumbers many other things with Montreal Steak Spice. I loathe peppers and mushrooms and tomatoes.

I can predict when it will rain within about 4 days of it happening without ever seeing a forecast. Simply the sky.

I have a horrible short term memory sometimes, and a crazy long term one that remembers everything. I may not recall what I did yesterday, but I will remember what I did yesterday 3 weeks from now lol. I also remember numbers insanely well. I probably have a couple thousand product numbers memorized for where I work. I know exactly what they are, the brands, various random details.

I hate the feel of paper. I avoid touching it at all cost, I really hate putting up signs at work lol.

All for now.
