Strange things that bother you

[MxAxC-_ATTACK]

So I was thinking ..I know im not the only one... who has strange things that bother them.. for example

I cant sleep with any limb hanging off the edge of the mattress.. feet hands ect.

Cant sleep with the door open

If someone is wiping off a dry erase board or chalk board and they miss a little tip of a letter.. I cant stand it.. I have to wipe it off.

I cant stand it when there is gross things on my windshield.. i have to wipe it clean asap.

Thats all I can think of right now.. I used to have a huge problem with counting things.. odd numbers bothered me.. not the actually number but if someone was off.. yeah.. i have seemed to overcome that .. thank god.

~I'm the same way about sleeping!!!

~I also can't sleep with ANY noise or lights on...even the small lights from my computer speakers and keyboard have to be OFF!

~I CANNOT stand when I see a pic of someone (especially ME) and an eyebrow hair is outta place...I have no idea why this irks me but it does... I almost choked when I saw how mangy my e/b looked in a couple of my EOTDs!!!!

~I hate how my face gets super-shiny and e/s creases by midday--thankfully I just swapped for a UDPP so I hope that'll help

~My makeup stuff (and most of my other stuff) is SUPER ORGANIZED--pigments, e/l, tweezer/sharpeners, & falsies in top drawer....face stuff, eyelash curler, brushes, & MAC palettes in the 2nd ...and mark. face cases, mascaras, MAC/other brand lippies & misc. in the 3rd--when people come over and look through my stuff, I literally EYEBALL them to see if they'll put it back in the right drawers.

~Trying to read a post and there's absolutely NO punctuation! Sorry, but I went to school for a reason, and it just irritates me when I can't tell where a sentence starts and ends.

(MxAxC I wasn't referring to you, I've tried to read posts on various boards and this just won't fly right with me!)

That's all I could think of for now...I'm sure more will come up and I'll add them to this list..hee hee

 

[Pushpa]

[Lalli]

a) the limb handing off the bed thing, I'm ITA. I can't bear it.
b) I can't sleep without a fan.
c) I have to sleep in a cold room.
d) I can't stand when I am on the phone, people KNOW I am on the phone, and yet they persist in talking to me whilst I am repeatedly saying "I'm on the phone, hang on...".
e) I can't stand open doors. ALL doors in my house remain closed.
f) a dirty shower. Nuff said.
g) the white board thing, I'm with you.
h) the punctuation thing, with you too.
i) Women wearing improperly fitted open toed shoes, so their heels/toes hang over the edges.
j) When people wear too small clothes, then proclaim that anyone who doesn't like the look is "Jealous of the jelly". No, I'm not. I like my eyesight and you're damaging it.

****I think I'll just go through the whole alphabet here****
k) Odd numbers. I can't chew odd numbers of gum (I HAVE to chew two pieces...), I can't eat M&M's one by one, nor french fries. Odd numbers make me twitch.
l) Regular usage of the word "ain't" in day to day conversation.
m) Seeing someone with so much makeup on her face that you can see where the layer of shellac has CRACKED because of movement in her face.
n) This is a big one for me, and my husband does it all the time: Leaving empty containers in the refridgerator or cabinet. It drives me batshit insane to look in the fridge and see empty beer cases/rings or dr. pepper cases or ketchup or milk bottles. Oh dear Lord I've nearly had an apoplexy looking at this before.
o) Body hair. Hate it.
p) Only having one type of shampoo in the shower. I need at least two. Preferably three.
q) Seeing teenaged girls who look IDENTICAL to each other walking in a group.
r) Wearing the same shoes two days in a row.


Wow. I have momentarily run out of little things that make my mind twitch!

I'm sure I'll think of more

With you on those.

- Things in all lowercase/all uppercase. Anything.

- Eating habits. Anyone who opens their mouth, talks when they're eating, drops food on themselves, hits their teeth with their cutlery. I can't handle it, I get so angry I could cry. I know that's ridiculous but I do!

- Symmetry. Things must be even! Also, if I do something like tap my right foot, I have to tap my left foot the same amount of times or it really bugs me.

- Things with dust/stuff on it. For instance, my eyeshadow palettes. I have to take out all my pans, and wipe my palette of all fall-out regularly.

Will add more soon.

oooo I share these too.

Haha, there was a similar post of this nature on a car forum my boyfriend frequents...his list of OCD's was soooo long.

My quirks are more related to social anxieties more than anything. If I'm in a restaurant I prefer to be seated in the outer perimeters of the room rather than in the middle of the room.
When at a movie theater I like being the last person in the row - I'll only sit in the middle of the row if there's no one else or 4 or 5 seats distance between me and a stranger. (I like avoiding the uncomfortable middle-of-the-movie "Excuse me while I shove my butt in your face while I get up to go to the bathroom" scenario)

I think those are my only two big ones.

 

[bellaetoile]

if my font is not arial 9, i am annoyed.
i do not capitalize unless absolutely necessary (ex: for a school paper)
i will write a sentance or phrase, then hit return and go to the next line down.
i hate chairs in restaurants, prefer booths.
my room must be freezing at night, in order for me to sleep.
i must fall asleep with the tv on.
my bed is huge, and has 9 pillows.
i hate for my makeup area to be messy, and like having my traincase in order.
i pace while on the phone. always.
i like having closed captioning on, when i watch tv and movies.

i'm sure there are more..but i can't think of them right now?

Oooh, me too!

I can't sleep at night unless I close my eyes before the light goes off. Actually, I can't turn a light off at any time unless I close my eyes first. I've become real subtle about it too. If my eyes were open, I will "pretend" I forgot something and turn the light back on so I can relax, and then turn them off again. I like darkness, it just has to be on my terms. I have serious anxiety if I can't control my lights. I think it's weird but I don't know what to do about it.

I also can't stand a messy kitchen. dirty dishes, messy counters....ugh! it dives me crazy. I don't care so much about the other rooms, I prefer them clean, but the kitchen HAS to be kept clean at all times.

 

[Wattage]

LOL - Shimmer, I never knew there was anyone with a odd/even numbers issue... I am the same, but I prefer odd #s!!

Other things:

1. Slurping. I really can't stand to be within a 10 foot vicinity of someone who slurps.
2. Dry hands. I need lotion, all the time.
3. Littering. Seriously, it's 2006. Get with it.
4. People who don't recycle.
5. People going through the checkout line with kids and a grocery cart full of shitty, over-processed food.
6. Having water with me. I have serious panic attacks if I don't have a full water bottle with me at all times.
7. Smokers who smoke in areas where it bothers other people who don't smoke.

I guess my quirks aren't really that strange... but still, they are mine

 

[d_flawless]

-i HATE when people sneeze, it makes me cringe, esp. when people don't cover their mouth
-grooming in public, specifically, nail biting/clipping
-sharing drinks, OMG you can keep it i will NOT drink off anyone, even if it was mine to begin with
-burping is so gross
-i agree with shimmer about the too-small clothes thing, i can't help but stare. cover yourself, or don't wear it if you don't have the body

OMG ditto!

also,

-when you say hello to someone (at work) and they just start rattling off products they need like i am a computer. gah!
-you hold a door open for someone or a group of someones and they dont at least say thank you
-anyone who is mean... gosh life is just too short...

 

[moonrevel]

I have a lot of things that annoy me, but the biggest thing is watching people eat. This is probably strange, but I just get annoyed by people who chew with their mouths open, make nasty sounds, constantly lick their fingers, pick food out of their teeth, etc. It drives me bonkers!

 

[Shimmer]

if I see my kids licking their fingers I throw something at them. (no kidding. I really do.)

Hrmm..

• Shoes come off at the door. There's a nice little rack for them over there -> use it! Just can't stand the thought of filthy shoes trekking all over the house.

^^^^ Yes. I don't like people wearing shoes in my house either.
For now, unfortunately, that's not something I can fix.

When we build and move?

Ha.
Wear shoes in the house and I'll shoot you in the foot with my airsoft weapon

Well some of mine are more anal as my family would say...
I hate when the fringe on the rugs aren't all nice and straight
I hate when the placemats on the table aren't in their place
I hate when someone gets something out of the cabinet and messes up all of my neat rows. All cans/containers must be facing forward and neat.
All shirts must be hanging facing the same direction
I'm a neat freak and it drives everyone nuts.
I will have to add more as I think of them. I'm sure my family could help
