I know that everyone has pet peeves. But what I want to know about is more than that. I want to know something wierd about you. A fact that others find odd. One thing about me is that I only like to drink out of glass. I can't stand plastic cups. I think the smell of them makes me think that my drink taste different..lol See I am strange..lol My sister-in-law thinks I am crazy when it comes to that..and they only have one glass at their house, and I get it every time I am there. Now what is even more odd is that, I can drink from a plastic pop bottle..lol but not plastic cups..okay well I can if I have to, but I opt not to. Okay now share anything odd or unusual about yourself or someone that you know.

LOL You WEIRD-O. :) j/k I dont think that is that strange. Everyone has their preferences I guess. I dont like to eat left overs...most of the time anyway. I think that the food tastes different. I also hate to hear other people chew thier food, anything crunchy. Oh it is like running your nails across a black board to me...UGH Good discussion!!

I do agree that some left overs are nasty, but oh my gosh, there are so many foods that are even better the next day. I love left overs..lol Oh and not to mention, I love to save money and it hurts me to have to throw food away..ugh.

You are crazy girl, I love left overs..lol To bad we didn't live closer to each other, 20 minutes is too far to go pick up left overs every night. Man I could have dinner made by you every night..lol That would be nice! I also don't like to hear people chewing their food...that bothers me too. Thanks for the post..love ya

I will not eat left overs either. My husband gets on to me because I throw food away when we are done eating. One I think they are gross, and two, they will never be eaten, they would sit in the fridge and get smelly.

Ok I am a little weird as well, I never drink all of a cup of tew, I always lwave about quarter in the bottom, people always aske me if it was ok because I didn't drink it all and also what is probably even crazier, when I eat a banana even though I take the bottom bit off I never eat the last bit, even though I have already cut the top bit off......

I don't like cold cheese but will eat it melted. My food can not mix on my plate and I will usually eat one thing at a time counter clock wise and the item I'm eating has to be in the 6 o'clock osition in front of me. I set my clocks to random times and figure out how far off they are...and I really don't mean the standard 10 minutes ahead, I'm talking odd amounts like 5 hours and 18 minutes behind. I wear pants all summer long no matter how hot it is and I can't sleep without socks on.

Wow, yours are very interesting and yes, some odd facts about you. When it comes to cheese, I will eat it any way, I am a cheese addict..lol. I don't understand the clock issue, why do you do that? Is it just because you enjoy trying to figure out how far off they are? ...I couldn't do that b/c I am the type of person who has to know what time it is, I feel lost if I don't know and have to find out soon. Your eating routine is certainly different. Thanks for sharing that with us. =) I also wear pants all summer long, no matter how hot it is, but I am allergic to the sun. I get bad rashes if I get burnt, and I get a major headache and physically ill. So I don't even risk it any more, I did when I was a child, and now I know it isn't worth it. Is that why you wear pants, are you allergic to the sun too? Thanks for the post, Have a great day/night.

Fiancee and I are told by our neighbors that we are weird, we leave our various offices at 5.00 pm and get home at around 5.30, first thing we jump into bed, take a nap for 5 hours then wake up and start preparing for dinner. If we dont do that, we get headache. We do that everyday except weekends when we dont go to work. We wake up refreshed. My mother in-law to be is also weird in a way....she can never share a cup with anyone not even her own kids, and also she can not eat something someone has take a byte or a sip.

Yes, I agree about not drinking after other people. I don't like to, but if we are somewhere and my kids are thirsty and I have a drink, I will share with them, it isn't that big of a deal to me,...as long as they are not sick. I don't like to share with anyone else though. I have a child who will NOT eat or drink after ANYONE AT ALL. If someone has taken a bite or drink of something, he will say NO WAY..lol. I guess that is good, less chance of him getting sick from someone else. Thanks for the post, have a great day/night.

I will not drink after anyone including my kids, you never know they could be catching a cold or something they got from daycare or school, and you don't wanna catch it.

For me I can drink after someone close to me without worrying about disease or anything. My fiancee's mother does not drink after people because of fear of catching disease,it is just inside her, she can even puck if she finds out that the glass has been used by someone else.

Oh goodness Nelly, I am weird in 100's of ways! I don't like to touch newspaper. I don't like my feet to touch bathroom floors, I won't blow my nose on toilet paper, I am hot all day long, wear sleeveless tops in the 30 degree weather, but at night, I sleep with sweats on, 3 blankets and a bedspread and a quilt on me, I drink coffee for a bedtime drink, I could go on and on and on . . . I'm very weird. But, you know what? God loves me just the way I am and I am just okay with that!!

I forgot to mention, I don't like to drink my coffee out of styrofome cups. I keep a coffee travel mug in my car in case I get coffee at a fast food place.I don't like plastic cups either. I will NOT use straws in fast food restaurant unless they are individually wrapped, the same with toothpicks. NO MATTER WHAT!!!

You are correct, no matter what our weird qualities are, God loves us all, just as we are. I do understand not wanting to touch bathroom floors, I am like that too, I always lay a towel down on the floor when I shower..lol Thanks for the post, have a good night.

I agree glass is better to drink from and glass pop bottles are better too. My thing is I won't eat meat off a bone. I know meat and bones go hand in hand but I mean like chicken drumsticks and wings and ribs, stuff like that. It seems barbaric to me.

First of all, everyone is odd in their own litte ways. One thing about me is that I will not use a public restroom, or a friends. I will wash my hands in other bathrooms, but I have to use something to turn handles and open the door with. Another thing is that I do not eat fish or eggs. I will try it and all, but then when I get to thinking of what I am actually eating, I start to gag, and put my plate away. I am not one of those who do not eat animals, this just happens with fish and eggs. I dunno. Lol.

So what do you do when in public and you have to go to the bathroom, I mean really have to go? I do understand someone not wanting to use one, but there are times when some just can't wait until they get home..lol I don't have a problem using a friends bathroom, as long as it is clean, I am fine with it. Thanks for the post, have a great day/night.

Well one thing that makes my mom thinks i am odd is i don't like drink soup or other food cooked with water,for example when i have porridge i always eat out the stuff in it and leave a bowl of water(soup),later i will drink the left water.it must be only water ,without any stuff. lol,better to let me have rice(or some other thing) and water separately.

When I am making a sandwich, my bread slices have to match up exactly the way they came out of the bag. It drives me crazy when I am eating a sandwich and the slices are not even! My husband laughs at me. I am also very particular about the way the dishwasher is loaded. So much that my husband is not allowed to load it. I look at it like a puzzle, everything should fit in there just so. He just throws everything in. Yeah, it doesn't really hurt his feelings that he doesn't have to wash dishes! I get that one from my dad I think. He is the same way with their dishwasher.

I don't have a dishwasher and have never had one during my adult life..had one when I still lived at home with my parents. If I did have one now, I could see me doing something like that, now that you mentioned it, when I do help my mom or someone load their dishwasher I will probably be thinking of it as a puzzle and making it all fit in a certain way...I love puzzles..lol The bread thing, that is funny...and yes, a little particular..lol Thanks for the post, have a great day/night.

I'd shoot a hunter before I'd shoot a deer, but I'd eat a deer before I'd eat a hunter. My hair goes past my butt and I forget to brush it for weeks, sometimes months at a time. It gets matted and tangled and dreadlocks form. Eventually I realize I better brush it. Sometimes it takes a few hours to get it brushed out and sometimes it takes a few days. And it's always incredibly painful. A lot of people think I'm weird because of that. The truth is, I am weird.

My hair was a little past my shoulders. I never cut it because I wanted it to grown longer, and my husband said he would leave if I got it cut. Lol. =) But it would take me 45 minutes to blow dry it, and if I just brushed it, which was not too often, it would take me a good 30 minutes. So I finally got it cut to above my shoulder, and I love it. My husband did not leave, so that is good.

Well I guess it shows you don't like to shoot animals. =) Wow, you have some long hair. I had hair down to the bottom of my back, just a year ago I chopped it off. I love having shorter hair now. I couldn't imagine forgetting to brush my hair. Thanks for the post.
