Three curious quirks!

In the spirit of the three good things post which I love, I thought I would start a new post about three curious quirks. Looking at the forum history there does seem to be a couple of posts around quirks but thought it might be easier to create a new one, especially since its springtime now...

Here goes three of mind to get things started...

1. When it comes to gloves, socks shoes, anything that comes as a pair I must sort out the right before the left...

2. When I get excited or nervous my nose for whatever reason becomes really itchy and I rub it like some kind of rodent with both hands...I've always done this since a child

3. I have a tendency to make up a lot of my own words and names for people/things etc, some examples...I call Bedlington terrier dogs, Lamerriers as to me they look like a cross between a lamb and a terrier, a large group of people I would describe as a flockamock, etc Its interesting to see how others pick up on these words and start to use them. They then can get strange looks from others who don't really understand the strange language Slight smile

Would be interested to hear/read about your three curious quirks...

  • Great thread by the way 

    1, pretty much everything for me has to be on the right hand side, this can include when I make a cup of tea, when I serve dinner, keys in my pocket, where I sit in relation to my family. The list is endless 

    2, I also make words up and did as a child and use them to describe anything, it makes sense to me but literally no one else. A few words I use are Crumplan, Sping and when I was younger I used the word Whompatoff.

    3, I walk around super quietly and try not to make a sound, open cupboards quietly and if it’s early I wrap a throw around the kettle so it is quieter. I am the stealthy ninja. 

  • Good to read Take5, glad other folks make up words too...do you have favourite phrases too? I seem to latch on to things from films mainly and adopt them into my language...got quite a few of these, several from Excalibur and Star Wars....

  • Quoting from films is a habit I have with my partner - we had a spectacular full moon the one night, which he pointed out, and I got to use "that's no moon", which made me happy for weeks!
