Hi everyone!

Idiosyncrasy: "a peculiarity of constitution or temperament : an individualizing characteristic or quality."

I think they reveal more about us then we would like to admit.LOL
So it's time people...lets see who has the weirdest set of quirks on this board..

Okay, for starters here are a few of mine :

1.Have to have my 3 daily dose of caffeine at the exact same time everyday.
2.Don't watch Action movies with Arnold Schwarzenegger in them.
3.Never eat anything without reading what's written on the box.
4.Never sleep facing the wall nearest to the bed.
5.Hate leaving messages on the answering machine.

LOL,theres way to many to mention.As a few.

1.I walk straighter when drinking alcohol otherwise I have a bit of a hop type thing in my walking.
2.Im yet to have a day where I don't hurt myself,someone else or break something-total klutz.
3.My mother won't go with me anywhere-she's so easy to embarrass but it isn't really fun anymore.

1. Everytime I open a magic marker- I sniff it.
2. I dillute my orange juice with water- but add sugar to sweetened iced tea.
3. I'll have the TV on, laptop on- while I'm on the phone.
4. I'll set my alarm clock 1/2 hour before I actually want to get up, and my phone-alarm to the time I need to get up-- but still find myself oversleeping.
5. I love watch scary movies (and still close my eyes on the really scary parts).
6. I've fallen down the steps at least 7 times, and I haven't broken a bone... yet (although I did break my laptop)
7. I have a teddy bear.... and yes.. I'm in my 20s..

Thanks for your responses guys...Interesting!

Branh feel free to add as many as you like...the more unusual the better...as you can see I didn't specify a number.🙂

Tiamat, I can relate to you...I am a walking disaster too...Mostly I tend to bump into things or people that are right infront of me!LOL

STD, Just curious...were the stairs in question the same everytime? If thats the case maybe its time for you to move.(Kidding)

okay, here's a few more:

1. All of my wrist watches and clocks at home are set exactly 10 minutes ahead of the actual time...just to ensure I am never late for anything.

2. I have had this really old torn pair of jeans for ages. Its beyond repair,but I still wear it at home.

3. I hate wearing anything "Yellow".

4. I love drinking Orange juice for some reason...I hate apples.

1. I hate it when people mis-pronounce my name it's "Charity" not "Chairdy" and it tickles me pink when someone goes the extra mile to pronounce it correctly.

2. I love to walk in the rain. With or without an umbrella and no one has ever been willing to walk with me. That's why I love fall.

3. I don't like to decorate my home with flowers. I prefer simplicity. But I do like gerber daisy's. Such a friendly flower.

Explaination: My best friend has a flower bed spread, flower wallpaper, flower art, ect. I literally drives me crazy.

4. I can't sleep with any lights on or in the middle of the day.

5. I hate bad kissers.

6. I hate being put into a mold. I was a cheerleader and look like the girl next door type. But that doesn't mean that I don't like heavy metal music and want to learn to ride a motorcycle.

7. I read everything including the back of the cereal box, shampoo bottle, and instruction manuals.

He had a right and left sock. He swore he could tell the difference between a sock he wore on his left foot from the one he wore on his right. He said that his big toe left an indentation at the top of the sock which made it uncomfortable to wear on the other foot. Even if they were all mixed up in the drawer and all white he said he could tell the difference. He tried to show me once but I couldn't tell the difference.

To this day I still think it was odd.

O.k. here is some more of mine...

1. I don't wear makeup except for a little lip gloss.

2. I listen to music and dance around when I make the bed.

3. I change my sheets every three days because I love clean sheets day.

4. If I don't get eight hours of sleep I feel physically ill.

5. I get misty at plays, ballets, and musical concerts. (Pisces trait)
