Now this is a meme I can get behind. Idiosyncrasies. I love all the things that make each of us weird. If you ponder this question and come up with nothing, you are lying for one but if not, well you’re just too boring to live. Go play in traffic.
On with my list of what makes me a freak……
1.) There is no way on God’s green earth I can get into a ceramic tiled shower without flip-flops or shower shoes. No, I cannot explain it. It simply is.
2.) Since we’re in the shower…I can wash my hair without any problem. If that hair comes loose however, the panic sets in. Loose wet hair that will not come off my hand makes me scream. If there is a loose hair in the sink and I am brushing my teeth, ugh. I am really cringing right now thinking about it.
3.) If you are going to pull up the blinds, they must be perfectly horizontal. If one side hangs down, you MUST fix it until it is correct. Get a level if you have to.
4.) Power goes out and the DVD player, clocks etc are not re-set so the time is flashing? For the love of God, you must re-set them all right away. You’re in another room? It doesn’t matter. They all need to be fixed before you can do anything else.
I’m stopping at 4 , but what is truly warped is I think I could go on all day. Yes, I have toys in the attic, truly gone fishing. They must have taken all my marbles away......
You're lucky you're not balding, like some of us.

Poor Mark,you have to live in a house with no hair in the sink, level blinds, and properly set clocks.

What about walking on a motel room carpet in your bare feet? It makes my skin crawl. I can't do it.
What about putting your hands into cold, greasy dishwater? I have to heat up the water with more hot water before I can put my hands into it.
We all have strange quirks.
