Three curious quirks!

whiteD404

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...

Parents
    1. Past few years I've been trying foods that since I was a kid I thought I didn't like. Maybe my tastes have changed or I was just picky, but seems I do like a lot of them. I still won't eat them in front of my parents though so that I don't get questions about it. They're really supportive, I just don't want the attention.
    2. I get annoyed by tardiness both in others and myself, but also get a lot of anxiety about being the first/only person there and how it might look me being sat alone. So I often arrive at the exact time I've said I'll be somewhere.
    3. When I was a kid the tags had to be cut off my clothes. I manage with them now, but if I start getting stressed or anxious, they start irritating me. I'll also start pacing back and forth going absolutley nowhere, and it's just occurred to me that a lot of people used to comment about how I would stand in a room rather than sit. Possibly a middleground between pacing and sitting.

    I'm still cutting labels out of clothes and if a zipper is touching my skin I have to put duct tape over the top as it really irritates me.
