Quirky Habits
#251
Oh, my, since reading this I am trying to decide if some of this is quirky or just makes sense. LOL I do walk to the potty in the middle of the night with my eyes closed as much as possible, don't turn on any lights either!! I think it is in protest. You make me go, but you can't make me wake all the way up to do so!! Cans sorted and labels out, it only makes sense. My kids say I am a hoarder, but they are hard pressed to say I don't know what I have or where it is. There is a method to my maddness. Where I put things have to make sense, as my memory is not good. Not good at all!! OH, yes shower duties are all in the RIGHT order. Wash hair, apply cream rinse, start with the face, neck ears, and work down. Feet last. Who wants to wash their fact with a cloth that has been in the "neather regions". LOLOLOL!! And my DGS sleeps with his eyes open. It is creepy.

I have the (good) habit of always using my turn signal, when I turn. I even (automatically) do it, when I pull out of my parking spot (behind the house), into my own driveway . . . and after I come home, when I pull back into my parking spot, from my own driveway. Yes, it makes me feel silly . . . but I just can't help myself.

The trouble is... I wear glasses (I'm blind as a bat... oh no... a bat... eek! LOL!) so it does me no good to keep my eyes open.
Speaking of glasses... I'm not sure if I disclosed this quirk of mine or not... I can't wear my glasses when I go to the bathroom. I have no idea why but they bother me (yes, even if I'm only going pee pee). That's weird, right?

I do know ppl, adults and children that can't wear clothes when they use the loo.
That must certainly take up some time!

I wash my face, then my neck and go down. Won't mention what gets washed last but it's time for the hamper when I'm done with it
(I do always do these things in the same order.)

Where I work, we wear scrubs. Scrubs are made to be reversible; pockets on inside and outside. I always wear my scrubs right side out (as any right minded person would)! I can't stand it when others don't pay attention and just throw them on, inside out with the tag flapping at the base of their neck. Although I always ask and with permission, I've been known to cut off the flapping tag (with scissors that are always in my pocket)!!!
(I do hope this isn't bc it didn't go through the washer since they wore it )

My towels have to be folded a certain way. If someone folds them differently I'll unfold them and refold them. I've taught my sister this when she was very young and my daughter and they are just like me about thier towels now too. Drives the men (when we have them) in our lives crazy.
My cans of food also has to face forward, and organized together, veggies together, soup, etc. Maybe not quirky but it makes since. My knives in my drawers have to go a certain way and I'm always going back in and fixing them when someone else puts them away.
I always push my chair in when I get up from a table/desk and it drives me crazy when people leave it out. At work I'm always pushing the desk chairs back in out of the way and at a resturant I do the same thing. At a restuarant I stack my dishes and pick up any paper from straws, etc to make it easier for waitress to clean up later. After yrs of programming my kids do the same thing.
I guess that's about it. I think I'm too lazy to be to quirky about to many things. I'm not a neat-nick by any means but when I do something I want it done right or what's the use.

I want it to be an ingrained habit!

I think I left the impression that I'm weird (hey... nothing from you in the Peanut Gallery!). I don't take showers -- only baths. I wash my face first but not with a washcloth. I just soap up my hands (with special face goo) & wash my face with that. Then I start washing my body (at my feet). But I kinda skip around & let's just say "below the waist" is last. Then the washcloth goes in the hamper (I only use a towel & washcloth once). So please don't think I wash those "places" & then use that same wash rag on my face. Ick! I'm a weird-o but I'm not a sick-o.

[QUOTE= My knives in my drawers have to go a certain way and I'm always going back in and fixing them when someone else puts them away.
My knives have to be put away "correctly" also... one goes one direction, the next goes upside-down. It's the same theory I use with my towels.
