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...

  • 1. I didn't realise this until you mentioned it, but when I put socks, shoes or gloves on, I put the left one on first.

    2. I talk to cats in the street

    3. I can't sit with my back to a door

    That is really very funny indeed, because I do the exact (and I really do mean exact!) same! I always must tend to my left foot first, and I cannot have my back to a door no matter as to where the door itself may be! That also goes for sleeping, I find it really very hard to sleep with my back to the door - it would cause me feel to be very uncomfortable indeed if I were to do so! However, in terms of talking with cats, isn't that considered to be normal (or rather standard!) behavior - because it is often observed in human/cat interaction?
