one of the most beautiful and least erroneous suggestions was given to me a long time ago and i will take it to my grave: "We are the sum of our flaws" i can not define you or myself without it, and that is what truly endears you to me
 
If I'm playing music with friends around or in the car, I always skip the track about 30 seconds in.

I let my room get uber messy and dirty and do a big clean up. Always feel good after a big clean :D

I can only sleep on my stomach.

I forget my quirks :D
 
Let's see...

  • I can only sleep comfortably on my stomach
  • The volume on the TV must have either a 0, 2, 5 or an 8
  • No matter what, I measure everything when I graph something (can be real hell during a test)
  • I love symmetry and equality, as well as a very large mixture of colour (why I don't like the Graphite theme)
  • I used to always spit only three times while brushing my teeth, once after every area (brush the front, bottom, then top). I still kinda do now.
  • I put three dots after almost everything (...). Just read my blog and you'll see it a lot.

There's probably a lot more but I can't remember right now.
 
- I don't like cheese or any topping on pizza

If there is no cheese or any topping on pizza, what is left? Crust? :eek:

I'm one of those guys who has to have everything at right angles on his desk. Yeah, I know...


Woof, Woof - Dawg

Consider the sentence: "Reasons for living? What's yours?"
I submit that this would be entirely acceptable. Should the OP assume that responders would have more than one quirk?

Since when is "Reasons for living" a sentence? :p

I would think that its safe to say we all have quirks.


I see your point though...
 
As far as I know, I'm not physically capable of crying. And haven't been for a long time. I think it has something to do with leaving my disposable contacts in for months at a time. :eek:
 
i have a ton of quirks (especially according to my girlfriend)

- under no circumstances can i listen to another person have a bowel movement. i will leave the restroom or put my fingers in my ears if thats about to happen
-until recently, i could never sit in the back seat of a car, while i did finally get over this it does make me a bit tense; previous to about a year ago i had not been in the back seat of a car in about 12 years.
-i hate overhead lighting in my house
-i have my coffee with 3 splenda packets and 2 sugar packets.
-at home i will not drink water out of a glass, only a bottle; even if its bottled water poured into a glass, can't do it.
 
If I'm playing music with friends around or in the car, I always skip the track about 30 seconds in.

I do the same thing too!




when ever I'm nervous and forced to speak (like at a presentations etc) i get a foriegn accent. and its really strong too, people who dont know me come up and ask where i'm from and i'm like florida? :eek: :D
 
I tend to drum out rhythms to songs on things with my fingers if I'm just sitting around. This includes girlfriends' shoulders/legs, and it tends to annoy them, but I don't really notice I'm doing it until it's pointed out...
 
No two foods can be on my plate at once.
At restaurants i get 2-4 smaller plates. At home, I serve myself one thing at a time, rinse my plate and get more food. None of which can contain animal products.
I can't listen to an entire song in a social situation.
I chain smoke when nervous.
And, lastly, I talk. Alot. :D
 
  • I spend the first 20 minutes at work perfectly aligning my dual monitors, with the left one facing head on and the right one on a ~10 degree angle.
  • When eating, I must complete all of one food item before moving on to another, and can only drink in between items (unless choking).
  • I wash my hands about 20 times a day, although I'm not a germophobe. As a teenager I worked at a Subway for so long it became habit forming.
  • I am constantly planning climbing routes on any vertical surface that could potentially be climbed that is under 20m tall.

I'm sure there are more. I'm a pretty quirky guy.
 
I push my glasses up my nose about 2-3 times a minute, more if I'm uncomfortable or nervous. I've rubbed away the paint/finishing on the bridge of all my glasses
 
I like to eat certain foods on certain days at certain times with certain utensils. I know I'm weird
 
i can't put a stream of mustard on a sandwich like ~~~~~~~~ <-- that

it has to be be little drops . . . . . . or else i will scrape it all off.



I can't watch a movie at home (or at a friends :eek:)without doing something else at the same time (surfing the web, playing a video game, reading something mindless) or else I just fidget around till I find something to do.... feels like such a waste of time I suppose.

I NEED a fan on to sleep, I freak out without the hummmmm of one (in a pinch, music with my headphones on works)
 
The only quirks I have are small grooves, returns or indentations in architectural mouldings or furniture components, generally used to mask or conceal abutments between different elements or to avoid visible cracking due to differential movement. Other than that, I'm perfectly normal.

Ha ha, that was funny. I don't think anyone else got it though.
