I shave before I take a shower.

I can't even process this statement.

It scares me how many of these things apply to me.

When a phone rings and I'm the only one home, as I'm approaching it I'll say, "I'm comin', I'm comin'..."

Not sure if "quirky" but sandwiches have to be cut in triangle shape...

I would absolutely eat candy bars that way if they didn't come in wrappers. I eat donuts with a fork Can't stand having food on my fingers (or my face), it's practically a phobia. Even canned nuts get the spoon. I don't use buns with meat, I put pretty much everything in tortillas, and if anything seeps out I get upset.

Couple of bathroom related items:

When walking into a restroom, if I see the only available area is next to somebody at the stall...I will hold it. I don't want to be peeing next to somebody.

I cannot poop unless it's at my house; I must have a home field advantage.

Re: Quirky things you do...

Every day when I leave for work, I'm paranoid about leaving the garage door open so I turn around and go back by every day to double check. Friend of mine suggested I take a picture so I can visibly see it is closed, but that doesn't reassure me enough. I'm tempted to spend the money on a system to plug it in so I can check remotely if it is open or closed. I'm tired of asking her to drive by when I take trips to make sure it is shut after I've left.

I pace....alot. Not in public or anything, but at home, I'll randomly do it for no real reason. Just walk in circles from one room to the next. At times, I really think I get enough walking exercise in a day simply from amount I pace.

It's not even cause I'm nervous/stressed out/bored or anything like that, I'll just do it at any random moment at home if I'm already standing up.

Reminds me of two old threads...

Re: Quirky things you do...

Most of the time (unless it's really cold) my wife and I sleep with separate blankets. She uses the nice one that stays on the bed. I use a blanket that belonged to her when we started dating almost 20 years ago. It's raggedy with some rips in it and it's very early 90's teal/purple colored. It's ugly beyond belief. It's probably one of those cheap "bed in a bag blankets", but it is perfect in terms of feel, weight, thickness, smell, etc. Every morning the bed gets made and it gets folded up and dumped in a storage ottoman.

On multiple occasions I've tried to purchase a "newer" version of this blanket to replace it, but have never been able to create it's magic.

Re: Quirky things you do...

This one is from my baseball days, but I always loved the feeling of baseball dirt between my fingers. When I played in the field between every pitch I would reach down, grab a handful of dirt and whittle it down to a grain or two that I would fidget with / roll between my fingers. When I was in the dugout, I would constantly do the same thing. When my mom washed my uniform, there would always be a small collection of these little pieces of dirt/rock. There was always a very similar consistency to the size/shape of the pieces.

I'm now 34 and more than 12+ years removed from college baseball and I still do this. If I find myself in a situation that presents a similar material to me (a gravel parking lot, the beach, etc.), I will still reach down and grab a handful and whittle it down to a few perfect rocks that fit perfectly between my fingers.

I guess it's just one of those comfort things that at times can help me relax.

I did that at my old place, and checking the door was locked because it was a separate garage. Once always, twice wasn't uncommon. I only go back by more than once at my current house when I have a trip and being hundreds of miles away makes me more paranoid, and then I have her drive by and check on her way to work/way home depending on when I leave. I never have forgotten ever, but once it turned into a habit, even if I know I did it, I don't trust I actually did it.

I "use the force" on automatic doors. And I look completely stupid. I don't even think about it. It just happens.

Re: Quirky things you do...

I am really glad I found this thread. There are a lot of things in here that I do and I always thought I was a weirdo. Maybe I am a weirdo, but at least some others share some quirks with me. Good stuff
