This is my peeing in a public bathroom routine -
Pee - flush with foot - pull down paper towel ready to dry hands with - turn on water - wash hands - dry hands - with towel turn off water - with towel open bathroom door - toss paper towel into bin - push bathroom door open with foot to get out.
weird shit you think only you do/did

i never ever grab any item in the front…whether it be the pop in the cooler, the can, the shirt, whatever… and if there is only one thing left on the shelf, aisle, rack, etc… i will often have a mini panic attack in my head and then walk away emptyhanded.
also, i don't let my foods touch on a plate - as a result, i often use multiple plates. the only exceptions is mexican food. potatoes and corn are also allowed to cohabitate.

When I was a meat-eater, I used to eat my Big Mac one layer at a time - top bun, patty, middle bun, patty, bottom bun. I use the same theory when eating pizza, but usually reserve the cheese for last.

My TV, car stereo, and home stereo receiver all have volume controls that show numbers from 0-100. During use, the volume for any of these devices must be set at a number that ends in either 0 or 5.

for instance, i wake up at 6:37 a.m.
Originally posted by 6949:I flip everything off. My computer, iPod, the television, my reflection in the mirror, most other cars on the road, and anything even remotely connected to right-wing positions (the NRA building, Heritage Foundation, Coors trucks, Hummers, Roadway trucks, cars with their right-hand turn signals on, etc). My son basically spent the first 18 months of his life being flipped off, and my cat has spent, collectively, probably 5-6 years of being flipped the bird. Plus, as a bike commuter, I probably give the finger to a half dozen drivers per day.
I flip off my computer when certain coworkers email me.
Originally posted by Venerable Bede:my friends give me the hardest time for doing the same thing with food. at chinese food restaurants its the worst, because i cant have other foods touching each other. i will keep every thing on a plate till i have eaten the first thing and then so on. the number of questions i get about this is ridiculous.
at dinner- i eat entree first, then sides, making sure as much as possible that the entree is not touching the other food. . .for fast food, hamburger first, then fries, then coke; i like wine with food for pairings, so i've relaxed that routine when wine is present
the exception might have been on friday night sal - i cant remember if i ate all the french fries first (or most of them) and then the omelet. i was a bit out of it - so thats probably not normal behavior on my part.
i also have my credit cards in a certain order and always keep them in the same place same order.
i still take off my shoes before walking into most peoples houses (i think this stems from the fact that one of my exes was japanese and his mom had a rule for no shoes in the house EVER). and i never wear shoes in my own place. they are all stacked in a ridiculous order by the door. and the shoes all have a certain/spot order for them. converse in one section, then slip ons, then boots, heels, etc. my clothing used to be arranged in colors but my closets are too small.
i dont think most of this is that strange, but its prob not that normal either.
and i once played 'stuck in a moment you cant get out of' at a job repeatedly for 2 hours. and the worst was i had no clue, and my co-workers wondered what the hell was wrong with me. they wanted to see how long i could listen to the song without ever consciously noticing. after 2 hours they all flipped out. i think i actually do that kind of stuff a lot - just tune out things completely.
that food issue is fucked up, really fucked up….but we all take our shoes off at the door in our family too so I can't slag you off too much. (No Japanese influence either)
Here's one to ask the boys and girls.
If you're home alone and go to the loo, do you still close the bathroom door?
Most men I know leave the door open, and all women close the door.
Here's something goofy my wife does - If she's eating something for the first time, like a nice gourmet cake or something. When she takes a bite to see if she likes it she'll also put the food up to her ear as if she's listening to it??? :eek:

I also did not ever close the door when I lived with my best friend and she was home or when I lived in the sorority house.
Originally posted by eros:I do something similar. Like my tv goes from 0 to 63 so I set the volume at numbers that can be reduced as fractions. Like 21/63 can be reduced to 1/3, or 28/63 can be reduced to 4/9th.

Originally posted by Roadbike Mankie:Open. And if it's just me and the Mrs at home with no guests, I usually leave the door open then too. And if it's just me and the fella's, I leave the door open when going #1, but not #2.

But Smackette is known to leave the door open when it's just the two of us too.

Seriously, you ALL are a bunch of weirdoes. Food not touching? The volume being fractions of prime numbers? Bathroom rituals? Taking shoes off before you go into a house?
I'm astounded. I thought some of you may be weird. But you're ALL weird. And it's not a good, creative weird but an F'ed up, "I need therapy" kind of weird. Maybe you're all socially inept or daddy didn't buy any of you a pony when you grew up. I don't know. But all of you are adults. If you guys are being serious and not fooling around, I really think you should reread some of the stuff you've written. I'd be ashamed if I did any of these things. You all seem proud.
I thought the weirdest thing I did was like My Chemical Romance but I had no idea how OCD some of you were.

P.S. I'm most disappointed in you, Roadbike Mankie. I thought you were 'ard.

I hate anyone who ever had a pony when they were growing up!
