I am a total slob. Not like 'horders' gross, but my house gets hella messy before I clean it up. I chew my nails and am always running barely on time. I eat pretty much anything, and dont care what it touches (other food).
I have a few quirks.
1) I talk to myself, and other people that are not there. I have full blown conversations in my head with people (real people who are not presently around me) and then end up spilling out of my mouth eventually. If Im upset with someone sometimes I will randomly blurt out profanity at that person in the midst of a conversation with "them".
2) Im a ruthless flirt. I have a tremendous need to have women around me be attracted to me. I actually studied the art of pickup, NLP and psychology so I could better attract women. I know this doesnt sound like a quirk or weird thing, but its almost obsessive/compulsive to an unhealthy point. I am currently in the process of closing the deal on one of my bosses who is in a long term relationship. It may be borderline sociopathic or narcissistic... who knows.
3) I can't stand seeing incorrect grammar in text of any kind. (your, you're etc.) Typos are typos, unless it is obvious that the person tried to spell a word, didn't know how to spell it and didn't bother to look it up. Especially if they are trying to sound intelligent, or (OMFG) trying to make someone else look stupid.

like maynard, i have to eat my food one course at a time and I prefer it NOT to touch. those partitioned paper plates are awesome. i cant take a bite of my burger until I am completely done with my fries. additionally, I like to eat it in order of least delicious to most delicious. I always want to end the meal with the most satisfying bite.
examples: if i was starving and was ordering a lumberjack slam, I think it would have to go: toast, then eggs, then bacon, then pancakes, then hamsteak. the important part is not to end the meal on a stupid piece of toasted bread. i never order more than i can handle, thats just how i was raised.

btw LD very jealous your seeing dropkick on st pattys. another "thing" of mine: never miss a dropkick show. i've been to 4 and intend to see them every possible oportunity. been front and center on the rail twice, al barr is amazing.
edit-- and it all started at the that tent, sunday, june 13th, 2010 in manchester tn.
If you loved the Roo set, you haven't seen anything. And being at the Roo set, I swear anyone that wasn't from New England and/or predominantly Irish didn't belong there. Those that are, it was pretty awesome but something just didn't feel right.
Or maybe I say that because I've seen them twice now in the Boston area on St. Patrick's weekend. This year will be the first actually on 3-17, the first two were on the Saturday before it.
You need to come to the Boston area around St. Patty's and experience it. I'm not a huge DKM fan, compared to some people I know - but it's a crazy party. However, the two shows on St. Patty's proper this year (being on Saturday) are in a small-ish arena in Lowell and not at House of Blues club in Boston, which is 30 miles away. The HoB shows are better, but Tsongas Arena holds 3-4 times as many people.
I got a griddle for Christmas, and I opened the box yesterday. It was packaged with Styrofoam! ACK! I managed to get it out but not without lots of teeth gritting.
I am filled to the brim with querks like this, but I will start with my feet.
Feet:
I cannot wear shoes without socks, I just can't do it. I cannot deal with wet socks, they have to be changed immediately I cannot stand to have anything between my toes, which is why I cant wear flipflops. I cannot stand for my feet to be dirty, but it isn't really a hygiene thing, I rub my big toes and the toes next to them together constantly, and if they are dirty or sweaty, I will stop what I am doing immediately and go wash my feet.
I have feet issues also. I don't like other people touching my feet. Not even for a foot massage. I've had exactly ONE pedicure in my life, and I would prefer to never have another one. (I did a lot of yelling at the lady doing the pedicure)
holls, I also have to have a fan on when I'm sleeping!
And Popsicle Sarah, I feel naked if I don't have a drink nearby at all times. I drink so much water I'm surprised I don't float in Mike's pool!
I get a sense someone is bringing a biscuit can filled with pop out snakes to the brunch this year. Watch out popsicle sarah.
As for my own quirks 1) Can't stand the sound of a broom sweeping on concrete. Big reason why I hate cleaning out the garage. 2) Love the small of gasoline. 3) I hate tarantulas because I honestly believe a spider should not have hair. That privilege belongs to less creepy animals.
I only go through the hassle of making my bed after I wash my bed sheets and blankets (atleast once a week), but when I do make my bed, I aim for, and do not stop until I achieve perfection. It generally takes 30+ minutes to make my bed.

I am the same way! I hate, hate, hate feet. I don't like people touching my feet, I don't like touching other people's feet, I just prefer to avoid the whole situation...which unfortunately comes up rather often to be honest...
And I also must have a fan on, even if it isn't pointed towards me I need to have it on. Air circulation and whatnot.
I used to have a thing with dinner tables. The silverware have to be in the right spot, salt and pepper shaker beside each other in the proper spot, etc. my friends though it was hysterical and they would intentionally mess up the table just to watch me reassemble it. I've gotten over it for the most part just because I'm stubborn and didn't want to prove my friends right when they said I was crazy.

But that's probably because in 10th grade I thought I was really funny for like 4 hours after lunch until I went home and noticed I had a big piece of lettuce lodged in my front tooth.
The Carma Lab Facility is in Franklin where I grew up. When I was a pizza delivery guy and I delivered there they'd give me like 40 of these to give to everyone at work. I'd keep like 20 and I'm probably set for like 4 years. Carmex >>> Chap Stick.

I once heard a rumor about fiber glass in carmex, even though it is probably false, I won't put it on. My favorite is a lip balm I got from my friend in Colorado. It is from New Belgium brewery and has their logo on it. It doesn't taste like beer, it is just citrusy which is just as good.
I am the same way! I hate, hate, hate feet. I don't like people touching my feet
OK, after reading some of the other "things" y'all have, I feel increasingly normal(ish). Or am I just more certifiably warped? Adding to my list:
1. FEET: That's a HUGE THING for me! I'll rub my own, but you can't. The only time my feet are bare is when I'm showering or swimming. And poor Fawnmart was so sweet to offer to give me a foot rub once, but I couldn't because of this "thing" that I thought was strange until this thread came along!
2. FOOD: I eat one item at a time. I don't mind if stuff touches on the plate, but I eat items separately so I can savor individual flavor. And yeah, Thanksgiving means half the stuff is cold by the time I get to it.
3. LIP BALM: I have at least 2 different Burt's Bees w/me at all times, either in the pants pocket, in the desk drawer, or in my purse*. I gots to have soft lips! 3b. *PURSE: I hate when people call it a "pocketbook" - It's not a book, and it often has no pockets. It's either a purse or a handbag. (This probably belongs in a separate "What Are Your Pet Peeves?" thread.)
4. HAND WASHING: I'm not OCD, but damn if I don't wash my hands about 20x/day, and like Abrakapokus, even more if I'm cooking.
5. COFFEE. I'm seriously addicted. It's my mother's fault: she gave it to me in my bottle when I was a baby. No joke. I've been a latte junkie ever since...
6. SHOWERING: I can't shower without closing the bathroom door completely and then checking the shower curtain for possible unwanted critters. An ex-BF once snuck into the shower while I was shampooing my hair; I never heard a thing. When I opened my eyes, he was inches from my face. Freaked me out worse than any horror movie! Also, palmetto bugs & camel crickets have both starred in my nightmares due to unpleasant shower encounters...
7. SEAT BELT: I will NOT drive a car until my seat belt is fastened.
and finally:
8. SOLITUDE: as a very extroverted introvert, I require serious amounts of alone time after I've been around people a lot. That means not seeing or talking to another human being for 2 whole days or more so my battery can re-charge. Humanity really wears me out!
