TOTALLY GEEKED!

Hmmm..... let me think.
I have used a calendar as a diary for the last 35 years.

I love pie but don't eat the crust.

 Sooooo, what you really love is pie filling.  LOL.

---

 Lol.  I was going to say . . .  technically, that's not pie!

Haha...Yes but you can't order just pie filling at a restaurant. I would if I could.

That is pie. If it is in a crust, it is pie.

I don't bother with the crust.

I hate drinking coffee out of a styrofoam cup - it adds a nasty taste! The Senior Center (where I volunteer) bought me my own ceramic mug, and they put it in a special cupboard just for me! They even wash it for me!

---

 OMG me too!  I won't drink anything out of a foam cup.  And I will not reheat coffee in the microwave, I can taste it.

 

When I mow the lawn I make start at the edge of the lawn mowing the perimeter and work my way in.  I do the same with the snow. It's different, but I think more efficient in that the grass clippings don't get on the driveway or walkway and the snow doesn't blow onto the driveway.

I am afraid I might have too many of these quirks to share and still be comfortable. Lol

I also don't drink milk out of anything but a glass. Plastic and milk...shudder.

When I eat M&M's (before they were my competition) I separated them into groups by color, then ate the color with the most, down to the color with the least. If there was a tie, I decided which one to eat alphabetically by color. Blue before brown, for example.

I only put one thing on my dinner plate at a time, I eat it, then I put the next item on. Eating at the dining hall has sort of broken me of this, but I still prefer it.

When I worked in the mall, I only got my beverages from one place because they had the best ice cubes. Crushed but not crushed into water. Divine.

When I read a book, I frequently read the last page first. I have no idea what it's about, but I do it anyway.

 DO NOT get us going on how we eat M&M's.  Flan and I eat them the same way.  We take two (if you have 2 blues and two browns, one of each) somewhat warm them and them suck on them.  When I state this years ago Flan told me to get out of her head.

My dad says asking people how they eat M&M's should be one of the tests for OCD and/or anti-social behavior. Lol

It's "weird."

I'm sorry, I had to...

 I was going to post that one of my weird quirks was being annoyed by the misspelling of weird.  Then I thought it might need to go on NJNs thread about stuff that drives you nuts.  And then I got frozen in indecision . . .

 Yeah but I still am in your head!  I know every little evil thing you are thinking.

 You know what drives me crazy?  Words that don't follow the rules, or stupid rules where the exceptions outnumber the words that follow the rule.  "I" before "e" except after "c" my ass.

---

 

lol LL Spelled it wrong. Not me. Yeah!

 I say that every time I type and i and e word and still have to check it.  Now to figure out where I spelled weird wrong...

---

 See?!  Not everything is about you, NJN!    

I hope you all realize the misspelling has to stay to make the thread true, right?

I have a quirk.

I have to sit with my back to the kitchen. I don't want to see, any mess, while I'm eating.

It's really weird, because, with the breakfast bar, in the way, I could sit anywhere in our breakfast room, and not see any mess.

But, I still sit with my back to the kitchen.

I'm just weird, that way. Go figure.

 When we eat out, I like to face the exit. I don't like my back to the door. I prefer to see the whole room. DH says I was a spy in another life. Lol

---

When we eat out, I like to be in the spot, as far away from strangers as possible.

I don't want to hear them chew.

I've come close to smacking people, because they chew too loud. Or chew with their mouth open. Or, talk with food in their mouth!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Oh my gosh. I need therapy, don't I?

I hate all cheese except for cheese on a pizza. Then I order extra cheese.

I like to eat ice cream with a fork. Obviously I can't do that with soft serve but if I dip myself some ice cream from the box I like it to be hard. DH eats what I call ice cream soup.

---

 Oh my goodness, I thought I was the only one in the world who perfers ice cream as hard as possible and with a fork!

I can't tolerate sitting in a room where the folding chairs are too close together.

At my meeting, I sit in the back row on the aisle, and pull the chair away to make more room.

And I have to have an aisle seat in a movie theater. I can't stand touching a stranger.

---

I can't tolerate going to movies, anymore.

The ice chewers, popcorn munchers, etc, drive me crazy. 

I'll wait for HBO. Or the DVD.

And, if someone is cracking their gum, I want to rip their teeth out!

Gosh, I can't stand it!

It is bugging the bejeebers out of me that the title of the thread is misspelled.

I freeze snack cakes, candy bars, fruit. I like cakes and pies frozen too.

My sister eats potato chips with a fork.
I duck when I go through a red light.
At work the outside OR hall goes around the rooms in a full circle. If I go to one area I have to go all the way around on my way back to complete the circle.
I also eat my least favorite foods first and save the best for last.
I do the same with M&M' and skittles.
Before my gym moved I wouldn't go on certain treadmills because they weren't perfectly perpendicular with the windows and it drove me nuts. If I had to use one I would look down the whole time.

She justscoops what she can. It's funny to watch. She's done it forever. She doesn't like to touch them.
