Oh yeah I am the same with sleeping with my head under the blankets. I often make a litle hole so I can breath. I hate sleeping in a sleeping bag when you can pull it far enough up.

I have done this all my life and it used to freak my parents out, they would come in and uncover me and it would really annoy me.

When I first met DH he used to not be abale to stand any of his food touching, all vegies and meats had to be cooked seperately served seperately, eaten seperately and eaten in a particular order Made for an interesting dinner time when I used to cook up stir-frys. I'm so glad hes gotten over it as I love to cook up stirfrys and is no way i could ever be bothered seperating. I do still catch him sometimes eating stirfrys by catergory (meat, beans, pineapple, carrots then noodles etc.)

I absolutely hate the feeling of it, so I have this complicated twisty hair flicking manoeuvre that I do before laying my head on the pillow. Quite often that means DH gets a faceful of my hair which he hates.

I do this too!!! I pull all my hair up so it's over the top of the pillow and not around my face. Weird, but I just hate the feeling of it in bed.

Hmm i cant really think of many, but some are:

If people get lyrics wrong, i have to correct them. Same with spelling and the way words are said. (This drives my best friend mad, but i honestly cant help it and she doesnt get that!)

When having a convo i often turn it into a song, or if something thats said is in a song ill sing it.

I can take most conversations/things that happen and relate it to tv. I do this alot, it also drives my mate mad.

I quote movies/tv shows.. alllll the tiiiime.

"Let's just plop them in front of the TV. I was raised in front of the TV and I turned out TV." (See! i had to do it!)

If the shelf at the supermarket is messy i have to straighten it.

I never finish my hot drinks. My old flatmate hated making me cups of tea cause id never finish them lol.

I used to have to fold the washing a certain way, and it had to be perfect, but now i dont care. I hate washing.

My sister does the peg thing. She hates it when i hang the washing out. Same with putting all the groceries onto the counter.. has to be a certain way. She crazy.

Annie I am so the same with the music thing. I have to work out the tempo of the music and also the time sig and the key as well.

I have to hang my washing a certain way and if anyone hangs my washing out the wrong way I have to change it.

Mel, I hang my washing in a certain way too. Towels and heavy items on the front line, hand towels, tea towels and flannels on the second line in, clothing on the last two lines and underwear is always hung on one of the middle lines so it can't be seen from front or back.  I also have some lingerie that I won't hang outside, they go in the airing closet.  Not cos they're kinky or anything, I just don't feel comfortable hanging them where people can see them.

DH and MIL hang the washing any which way (as far as I can tell anyway) and it annoys me no end, even though it dries just as well.

You wouldn't be allowed to do dishes at my house.  The glasses always go into the fresh water first, then cups and mugs, then plates and bowls, then the cutlery swept into the sink and I wash the pots and pans then I drain the water, refill the sink with clean soapy water and wash the cutlery.  I also use really really hot water, to a point where my DH can't touch the dishes to dry them without letting them cool off first.

I have a dishwasher now tho.

Ok, so I originally read this thread thinking you're a bunch of nutters  but then mummsymoo and a few others went and posted about my quirks.

I have to use matching pegs and I like to use the same colour on all clothes on the line (ie. I have 4 lines so one line might be all pink pegs, another will be all purple pegs etc).

I used to wash my dishes in a certain order (but I think that's my OCD too) and now I use a dishwasher things have their place.  If the dishwasher has been packed wrong by DH I will unpack the dirty dishes and repack them in the right order.

I won't have the volume of my MP3 on an odd number either.

I hate seeing plugs on when there's nothing plugged in too, it doesn't matter where I am I'll turn them off.

If someone says something that reminds me of a song I'll start singing it (my mum does this too).

I always wash fruit and chop it up before eating it (I won't just grab and apple or pear and eat it whole).

Actually most of my quirks are more OCD than anything else.

remembered after i posted
- left sock always goes on first
- i always eat the meat last , the chips first at maccas etc and the drink last.
- towels have to be folded the same way , in half and in half, then into 3.

lol i do nearly all those things

- pegs have to be the same colour
- i eat that last bit of burgers (esp subway cause all the sauce makes that bit soggy)
- i have thing in even numbers like i want 4 kids not 3)
- dh does the getting the thing from back of the shelf at the supermarket
- cans in the cupboard

things i do as well as all those

- before i go to bed the cushions have to be straight and the remotes on the coffee table in height order.
- books on shelf are all in height order
- bed gets made as soon as i get out of it in hte morning
-ummmm oh all the chairs around the table have to be pushed in.

Omg im crazy

Ohanlon - snap on the volume thing! DH is the same too - it has to either be an even number or a multiple of 5

I can't bear to see plugs switched on if there is nothing plugged into them.

I can't stand walking on smooth concrete with bare feet - it makes my skin crawl

I always eat the chips before the burger too
