I started keeping a list of some of my quirks because I find them amusing so I thought I'd share some of mine, you can add your own ones to the thread below if you feel like it:
- I can't touch hangers - they freak me out.
- certain kinds of pasta are WRONG.
- particular bowls in my kitchen are for specific things (pasta, cereal) and cannot be mixed up.
- I haven't worn underwear since the pandemic.
I have to have things symmetrical, so if there is no equal space between cutlery and a mat either side I have to move them and straighten them if at an angle.
If I turn a music CD off in the middle the tune has to end on a tonic note.
Tins have to be organized in types and sweet and savory.
I like to do things in a set order every time and sometimes re do things that are not quite right. I have been known to move things that someone else has placed if not quite a way I feel comfortable with.
I prefer TV volume at even numbers and particularly avoid 13. On the theme of numbers I prefer those divisible by something, so don't like prime numbers. The best numbers are those that are divisible by lots of numbers. Now I am wondering if people think I am odd if I say that is a good number.
I am quite particular about matching clothes. I can reject a top or socks if they don't look good together. I notice that on TV too and have been known to miss something I was waiting for because I was looking at what the person was wearing.
