Quirks are little things that are semi-unique to us. They are like character traits.
Here are some examples of mine:
I hate the sound of balloons squeaking or bags when I buy fish. I finish of peoples sentences for them. I'm dyslexic in so much as I can't spell and my handwriting is terrible but strangely I can read really well. I'm using Grammarly so it seems on here that I can spell.
Quirks? I don't have any personally, but other people think I do.
@silvereyes No worries, I know you (sort of).
Can't handle watching talk shows where more than two people are talking at the same time. Multi-tasking is not my thing unless its manual, injoy doing dishes, don't do well in crowds.
You really need to rearrange your kitchen!
My refrigerator shortens the distance from the island I work on. When I'm standing there I take up a lot of space..lol. if she squeeze by me when I move she may get crushed. You ever push a barge. It's like a brick wall till you get it going.
VERY sensitive, do not tolerate people who continue to interrupt me as I'm trying to say something, even in jest.
So many...mmm well here's a few..I procrastinate...I hate it when people touch or move my personal belongings... I hate when people feed my pets and then not tell me...I can be extremely quiet or extremely loud...I sleep with a fan on all year round..even in winter...I collect an insane amount of books..also have multiple copies of same books...I hate it when people leave brillo on the bottom of the sink...and get rust all over....I hate when people flick tv channels...I braid my hair in tiny braids.. I sing karaoke..( won many contests) I can rap but not freestyle..I like my coffee table cluttered..
OH - this is a fun one !
My environmental consciousness sometimes causes some oddities :
When riding my bicycle - which I do almost daily - if I see a plastic water bottle on the ground, that still has water in it - I bring it home and use the water for plants.
Whenever I use a public restroom somewhere, after I wash my hands, I usually hold on to the paper towel. When it's still damp, I'll use it wipe spots or bugs off my car, or I'll let it dry and put it in a hanging bag with others. I use those towels to clean up stuff, or cat pukes.
I absolutely love (and know much about) , many creatures that most people want to eliminate : insects, spiders, snakes, alligators (especially!), vultures, rodents, opossums, armadillos etc. And I have, and will handle any of them if need be.
I've never bitten my nails, but I pick the hell out of my cuticles, and then clip off the skin I've pulled loose. All neat and not too noticeable - except to me.
I cut my own hair. Sometimes it goes well, sometimes not. But being curly, it's rather forgiving while the faux pas grows back !
If the temperature goes below 70, I'm cold. I believe I'm part reptile, and have no issues with summers in Florida !
I don't like the taste of coffee or alcohol. Ick.
When I was younger, I won tournaments in both Jacks, and knock-hockey , and still do pretty well with both.
I dislike cell phones, and rarely carry or use mine - except for occasional GPS.
When waiting in a line somewhere, I amuse myself by wondering what each person in front of me looks like naked.
I really like you.
We have a couple of things in common. I cut my own hair (I'm bald most of the time), I like to ride my bike (don't pick up trash unless I'm hauling my trailer), I'm part reptilian (ridge on my head), I always forget where I put my cell phone, and I'm one of those naked people.
When I have a good idea, I almost always forget it immediately.
When I was working I would be so meticulous that it caused me to take too long to finish things sometimes.
I hate shaving so I just let my beard grow instead.
I'm addicted to Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Some things I can't mention here.
@silvereyes Does that belly button thing happen to you often?
The ear thing is weird!
I would never think about poking my finger into anyone else's belly button. Normal, not a quirk.
If I hear a grammatical error in public, I will correct the culprit. Out loud. Even strangers.
I have a slightly unhealthy addiction to ice cream. I am entirely capable of going through a tub in one sitting.
I'm the same with TV series; what's the point in just watching random episodes for the sake of it?
My belly button is sacred ground. No one approaches it on pain of death.
I'm quite flamboyant. I often find myself twirling my toothbrush or pen. Whatever utensil I'm holding, be it a spoon, ladle, pan or plate, I will typically make completely unnecessary movements involving said utensil.
Although I find it fairly easy to talk to people, I avoid it as much as possible.
@silvereyes Naturally. I wonder if it's possible to dislike it.
I bow to your ear wiggling greatness. I can only wiggle them at the same time. It still impresses my kids.
Um, that belly button thing sounds pretty normal to me. I mean, isn't it more like a quirk to want to do that? lol
I can't eat when I first wake up in the morning. I'm not a fan of fictional TV shows and only watch a few movies, but I'm a huge fan of fanfiction. I am obsessed with my grades. I swear like sailor. I'm loud and obnoxious. Oh, man, I'd better stop there before I develop a complex.
Your missing 0.9%. They don't show a like or dislike for your laughter?
Yeah... it's rare, but some people don't acknowledge it at all.
