Personality Quirks
Re: Personality Quirks
The first thing I do when meeting someone socially is discretely begin to diagnose them with something then try to subtly see if I'm right with well placed questions that don't point out my curiosity. Yeah, weird, I know.
Seek ye victory? Ye shall eventually find defeat.
Seek ye defeat? Ye shall most certainly find it.
Seek ye nothing? Then all ye can find is victory.

Well... nothing too impressive with me, but...
1) I uber clean when I'm stressed, and really no other time. But when I am... things are straightened down to the absolute finest detail. I am driven like a madwoman until everything is PERFECT, and then I can rest.
2) It drives me mad not to be driving noticably faster than everyone around me. Its agonizing when there's cops around.
3) I refuse to get ready to leave somewhere until I have to. Getting ready early? Silliness.
4) If someone at work is doing something wrong... I have the overwhelming urge to take over and get it done right. Rather then allow them to continue, or turn it into a teaching experience. I've had to beat this urge back many a times.

When I am drinking a beer at the pub or wherever I CAN'T drink the last few mouthfuls on the bottom ever, I have to pour it into the top of the next pint.
Re: Personality Quirks
- I make jokes about everything, even serious things. Seriously.
I'm left handed, when writing, but do everything else with my right hand - whether out of some stubborn habit, or because I'm ambidextrous, haven't decided.
I set my alarm clock 45 minutes before I actually need to get up, so I can hit the snooze button a bunch of times.
I always wait until the last minute to do anything.
I'm inwardly evil, but no one knows. Shh.
I hate doing these lists, so I'm done.

Re: Personality Quirks
I set my alarm clock 1/2 hour beforehand too.
And, I usually get ready early, then leave early and sit in the computer lab playing FK until it's time for class.

Re: Personality Quirks
I also for some unknown reason only write left-handed but do almost everything else right-handed, but that may be because of my navy days when there is no such thing as a left hander

I like to walk around and strike up conversations with people or trees.
Justice is not neccesarily honourable, it is a tolerable business, in essence you tolerate honour until it impedes justice, then you do what is right.

Well.. I set my alarm an hour before I have to get up.. just to get up really late and end up in a hurry every morning.

Re: Personality Quirks
- I keep all my clocks and watches set five minutes ahead. As long as I am not in a hurry, I remember that is the case and re-calculate the true time in my head. But if I am running behind, I forget, and as a consequence, often end actually up being on time. I HATE being late.
- I'm right handed but wear my watch on my right hand. I wore it there the first time I ever wore a watch. When told it should be on my left, I asked why, and didn't find the answer compelling. As a result I've trained my left but not my right hand to put on a watch, and actually find it very hard to put a watch on my left hand, with my (dominant) right hand. A lesser version of the left-writing righties out there, I suppose.
- I too, hate the phone. I scoffed the first time an ad came on in California claiming that the phone was "once again, your friend."
Re: Personality Quirks
I'm right handed with my watch there, too. I didn't know it was a thing! I wear it face in, too.

Re: Personality Quirks
-I very rarely finish my food. From the simple fact that when I was little I was always forced to make a "Happy Plate" so I could get that ice cream later. Now that I'm older, I don't have to finish it
-I drive a standard and I have this annoying habit of making my car roll back when I'm at a stoplight on a hill. I don't know if it's because it's fun to go back and forth or if I want to freak people out behind me.
-I HAVE to smell my food before I eat it. I've done it since I was little.
-I, also, hate phones. Text me. Don't call me.
-I weigh myself every day. If my weight goes over/under three pounds of what I already am, I freak out.
-I can't watch TV or Movies without closed captioning. Thanks to my deaf grandfather <3
-I wear flip-flops year round. In winter too. I hate socks and closed toe shoes.
I think thats enough for right now..

Re: Personality Quirks
It's sort of comforting to know that your not alone in having weird quirks. =)
-I always tell my dogs god bless you when they sneeze. Always.
-And I MUST say good-bye and pet each one of my dogs before I leave the house... you know, just in case.
-I cannot walk by an open cabinet (like in the kitchen) without closing it, even if I'm going to put something back in it 5 seconds later. It should be shut!
-Like Melusin said, perfectly,
-I *have* to put my seat belt on & then pick a C.D. to listen to, *before* my keys are allowed to go anywhere near the ignition. BUT if some one else is driving, it bugs the heck out of me to wear a seat belt in someone else's car and can't stand not to have some sort of radioness on.
-Sleeves on a shirt, must be either rolled down or up. I cannot stand one being up and one down. I'll fix it for you, if you don't. Same with pant legs.
-I watch every DvD with the subtitles and captions. It irk's me when they don't offer that option in the menu.
-When I drop something, I'll say sorry. Even if I'm alone... It's like I'm apologizing to an object and I don't even know why.
-I won't order anything new, from a resturant, unless I get to see the picture of what it looks like.
-I must have noise to be able to fall asleep. Be it, music, fan, or talking, anything works. Just cannot be silent.
-And if I get a song stuck in my head... I have to listen to it... Or it will stay stuck, until I do.

Re: Personality Quirks
Well I just thought of another one because my roommate and I just nearly had a brawl over it.
Pizza.
When eating pizza, it drives me absolutely crazy when people do not eat it correctly. And here is the correct way for all of you that do not know. First you open the box, and then the first person must take the piece at 12 o'clock. The very top piece. Then after that you get your pieces in a clockwise fashion. You do NOT take a piece from the other side of the pizza at random. That.. it is.. you just don't. Don't do it. Things are all uneven and, it is just wrong. For that reason I cannot order pizzas that are half one thing and half another because inevitably someone will go for one side and then the next person will go for the other.. or even worse! .. Someone will get one side and then get a piece of the other side and put it on the same plate! The pizza must disappear in an orderly fashion.
Also someone has brought to my attention that I have an OCD complex about certain commands in the game. I have a set of four commands that I type together all the time. Always together, always in the same order. Now this may not seem strange to a lot of the who spammers out there (I'm one of those too).. but these commands are largely ...useless to type. I use them ALL the time and 98% of the time, they do not give me any information at all. It is just something for my fingers to type. But then.. when they do show up with something, I get very excited. One of them is the forum command.. I don't get PMs that often. So checking that like every other minute or so literally and I keep getting the 'No'. And maybe once a month I'll get the happy 'Yes'. It is like Christmas.
