The Quirky Contest
Sometimes I swear I am mildly O.C.D. and I have these little rituals that I do. It is an uncontrollable urge and I think about it over and over until it gets done. I haven’t gone to the doctor for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (nor am I making fun of people who really have been diagnosed with this disease). I just notice that sometimes I do weird things that my friends and family laugh at, so here they are:
- I constantly tug down on the bottom of my shirts. I buy long shirts, so this is pointless.
- Different foods can never touch on a plate. If they do, the parts that touch can’t be eaten.
- Shoes go through a morning “spider check”. I found a dead spider in my shoe one day after I took it off. Never got over it.
- The volume on my radio has to be on an even number.
- I rarely, if ever, open a soda can all the way (liken this to the spider story, except for this bug was almost swallowed).
- I have to repeatedly pet an animal on the bridge of the nose.
- I tug on my earrings and necklaces while I am thinking. I actually did this during an interview!
- I always have to wipe my hands on my pants after every bite. Note to self: This isn’t pretty when you’re eating greasy food and wearing white pants.
- I can’t help but touch something if someone tells me not to (fresh paint, wet floors, hot pans).
- I have to pick the second item of everything. So the second cup out of the dispenser, the second candy bar…you get the gist.
- Every poor animal that I deem “cute” has to go through my love tap torture…This consists of nine (yes, I’ve counted) consecutive fast little taps I give to their lovely little rear.
Anyway, these are some, but not all of the little quirks that make me well, me! So now it’s time to ask you, what are some of your bad little traits?

Hey girl, some of those are pretty quirky. But I definitely have lots of my own! It’s interesting though that a lot of yours have to do with animals (of course, you being an animal lover explains that!). My quirks probably would make me look conceited, lol, since most of them have to do with how I look (like using a ton of hairspray just to make sure my hair doesn’t change during the day)! Oh gosh, so anyway I won’t mention mine.
Aww come on Marci…If I can publicly humiliate myself with this post, you can write a few. It’s a quirky competition, remember? You can’t get weirder than some of mine!
Everything on my desk or on a table I am sitting at needs to be lined up with the edge of the desk/table. Pens lay at the same angle, equal distance apart, etc.
