Idiosyncrasies

lol- i am exactly the same! we have the pooh bottles and they HAVE to match! hubby always mixes them up just to tease me MEANIE! he knows it drives me insane

Liz I so know what you mean about the shark in the pool thing! We used to live across the road from my primary school and mum was the cleaner til I was part way through high school, so I got to swim all summer, usually by myself tho. One year it got painted black (something about keeping the water warm) and I totally convinced myself that eels were in there cos the water came from the river!!

Also, I am phobic about birds (why does the Welly Zoo new nocturnal house not have glass! They should say that before you go in)

I hate dirty slimy cloths and tea towels etc, and it totally peeves me off when Daniel leaves the dish sponge wet in the sink

I hate people being late. I am hardly ever late, am usually at anything early and get really upset if I am late. Especially hate waiting for someone to come pick me up.

I refold my washing if its not folded the "correct" way!

Chewed up food makes me dry retch - although I must be getting immune to Hannahs cos I dont find it so gross.

I know there are heaps more but having a mental blank...

Hehe now to lose your respect...

1) I have to have the volume control on the car stereo/TV on an even number.
2) I hate excess bread on burgers- whenever I get a burger from a fast food place I always take off one of the buns, usually the bottom one (I take 2 buns off a big mac!).
3) All Charlottes toy sets have to be arranged a certain way after she goes to bed before I can rest for the evening. All the kitchen untensils in her toys kitchen have to be on the right knobs, the animals in the right homes etc.
4) I'm another spider checker before bed.
5) I hate mouth sounds or when people don't eat tidily and can't stand watching people eat ice cream My biggest one is when people talk to you on the phone and eat at the same time. I will always make my excuses and get off the phone if I can hear them eating. I even have to turn off the radio during some ads because of the slurpy way some people talk.
6) I go mad when our living room mat isn't straight. I adjust it about 20 times a day to be perfectly in line with the wood flooring and if I see DH move it (not on purpose) I have been known to yell... loudly.
7) I hate getting envelopes that have just been tucked in rather than sealed.
8) If I miss anything off my shopping list I have to go straight back to the supermarket and get it- I can't wait or it weighs on me and drives me nuts until I do it.

There is more but I won't bore/worry you any further. I'm such a nutter!

Oh i hate burger buns to, and if you buy a sausage like the fund raiser ones they sell i rip half the bread off, i hate doughy bread and i also hate the lettuce in buns, cant stand warm lettuce so either get it made without lettuce or scrap it all out.

Ahem *spelling*...

Oh me too we don't have Winnie the pooh bottle's (wish I did tho) but the ones we do have are coloured. Rach DH is the same mixes them up just to tease me.
I can't think of any more at the momnet for me, but DH has alarm issues too he alway's set's it way earlier then he has tp then uses the snooze button ever 10 min's for nearly an hour before he get's up.
Oh and I hate the dish cloth in sink it must be rinsed in cold water the sat in hte bench flat till it dries. Oh am I am another one to check on hte kids all the time.

I thought of another one too! I have a "thing" about walking on dirty floors, it just totally grosses me out, esp on lino/wood floors. I have to walk around on tip toes

I don't get it...you all sound perfectly normal to me!

Hahaha I do that too Peace! The whole chant thing. Mine goes 'cellphone, wallet, keys' for me (keys has to be last because I check that before I shut and lock the door) and 'bag, bottle, bum (meaning nappies but nappy doesn't start with a 'b' hahaha!), baby' for Ashlee
