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...

  • Geat thread. My three:

    1) My collection of hankies, that has been mentally divided into three categories - summer, winter and to be used when I have a cold.

    2) There is a soup spoon in our drawer that can ONLY be used for eating soup. Eating anything else with it just feels wrong.

    3) When I clean my glasses, which is frequently, I use the same number of circles on both lenses.

  • Good to hear about handkerchiefs, not many people seem to use them these days...how are you assigning them to different seasons, are they different thicknesses, materials?

  • It's mainly the thickness. Summer hankies are lighter than winter ones. Cold ones are very absorbant. Too much info! 

  • Ahhh makes sense thanks for the explanation
