I’m weird that way…
I have lots of little quirks that people aren’t necessarily aware of and I thought I’d share them.
Some of these may make you think I’m a bit OCD, but I’m not really. I think.
- The TV or radion volume (if indicated numerically) always has to be either on an even number or a multiple of 5. i.e. 32, 34 and 35 are OK. 33 would not be acceptable. 36 and 38 would be OK, but 37 and 39 wouldn’t be.
- I always separate my task bar buttons on Windows
- At work, my applications have to be opened in a specific order so that the windows are open in a specific order on my task bar. If one logs me out and would need to be re-opened (thereby changing it’s position) I close everything and open them all up again in the correct order. This does not apply at home or to tabbed browsing.
- Rudi always has to walk on my right hand side, he’s become so accustomed to it, that if he happens to stray to the left, he automatically corrects, or tells me I’m walking on *his* wrong side
- I cannot group my food together on a fork and eat it. I will eat each individual portion of whatever on it’s own (and finish it before starting on the next). I always leave what I think is best for last.
- I sometimes wave goodbye to people when I’m speaking to them on the phone. Rudi thinks this is hilarious.
- I cannot watch TV and listen to someone talk. It’s one or the other.
- I am almost always sitting with my right leg under me at work.
- I am left handed, but almost only write and play pool left handed. I cut scissors, hold a knife and fork and do almost everything else the right handed way.
- The first stuffed animal Rudi bought me was an Eeyore, one night we got into a vicious fight and he ripped Eeyore to shreds. I developed an obsession and collected so many Eeyore’s that I don’t know what to do with them now. Guess what kind of room baby is going to have?
- If there is a newspaper in a room, even if neatly folded, it makes the entire room look messy to me.
- I loathe it when people capitalise ‘acidicice’. acidicice just looks so much better than Acidicice – doesn’t it? Or is it just me? I understand that people that do this are just being gramatically correct…but it annoys me because I am weird. That being said, I also hate it when people don’t capitalise their own name/surname. Your name is not joe smith. It’s Joe Smith mkay?
Somehow I thought this post will be a lot longer…but I guess I’m not *as* weird as I thought
awe darling…i hate to break it to you..but you are kinda OCD
which is OK really, because everybody has a bit of OCD some people just take it to the extreme.
I also wave at people i’m talking to on the phone, and since i talk with my hands in general I tend to do the same when i’m on the phone…is funny to watch:P And i’m so with you on the dude having to walk on the right hand side…it just feels wrong the other way around. The Eeyore thing is kinda cute;)
I have laughed behind my desk when reading that you wave when saying goodbey to people when speaking over the phone. How cute of you!
I think all of us have some weird things we prefer and do.
You’re more OCD than I though you were but you’re miles away from Mrs. OCD or my mom although hers got worse over the years so hey you never know one day soon you might be cleaning clean and lining things up with a ruler, or putting a two finger space between every hanger your cupboard. LOL
Hah! I also open all my apps in the same order and will close and re-open them if something is closed by mistake. Glad Im not the only one!
Dont worry man things arent that strange -i also always talk with my hands (actually been told with out my hands people wouldnt know what i was saying RUDE) and even when im on the phone i still talk with my hands. I am right handed but eat with my left and hate to sit next to people who “flap” when they eat i dont wont your elbow in my eye see. So dont worry u not that wierd all people have strange behaviours in some way or another
Hi there. How did it go last night?????

Ag, that’s not really hectic OCD – my friend counts his footsteps and has to end on an even count … yeah, that’s a bit hectic.
OMG snap! I only ever have my TV volume on an even number! (only even, no multiples of 5 for me unless its an even multiple)
And I’m right handed, but eat left handed and use my mouse with my left hand, and play pool with a mixture of left/right hand depending on the shot)
Opposite with the food, I like a bit of everything on the fork at once so all the flavours mingle in my mouth.
What a fun post.
Congratulations, what words … brilliant idea
