what quirks do you have? everybody has some - i have lots, one of them being that i don't like chocolate. i'll eat it, but only if i'm very hungry and there is nothing else.

Okay you've dragged it out of me, I'm a coffeeholic, can't function without the stuff, and I'm very quirky about having it a certain way, hot,black,Greek,strong and plain. Believe me no one lets sugar near my brik more than once. They remember.

Cool, send me all your chocolate and if I have anything you like I'll send it to you. Well I'm sure I have quirks but most of them don't revolve around food. I like almost everything. I'm good at puns. I like to do silly poems. I put silly lyrics to songs. Is that quirky enough?

I guess the odd thing about me, I love apples. But will not eat apple pie! Yuck!!!
@jb78000 (15139)

i kind of agree with that - apple pie has pastry and extra sugar - it's not really the same as an apple. i like fruit but not very sweet things so apple pie would not be my first choice for a snack.

I think my husband would better answer this question LOL I have so many quirks I don't know where to begin. Number one is probably that I am a clean freak. I would clean all day long if I didn't have other responsibilities. I also have this quirk for sticking up for people that can't defend themself.

I absolutely hate to be late. I wont be late, no matter what. I leave for work way early and i always get there about 10 minutes before I have to even be in the parking lot. Im a college student, but not for much longer thank goodness, but if I am going to be late for a class I wont go in. Not even if its only a minute or two late. I refuse to go in and disrupt class and have everyones attention on me. Im horrible about it and drive everyone crazy, but I dont think its a necessarily bad quirk.

Now I see nothing odd about that - possibly because I hate being late too. I think being late for anything is one of the worst offences, so continue with your oddity. When you start working, your early arrival will be noted and appreciated.

i agree, it's a sensible habit. maybe you shouldn't mind too much the few times you are late though.

This is such a great question!! I have sooo many quirks. One being that I talk to myself. I don't really mean to, but I just do. Mainly when I'm busy & working on something.... sometimes I catch myself talking about what I need to get next while I'm grocery shopping.

I should have added talking to myself. People who know me don't even react now when they hear me.

You've shattered me! Are you telling me that not everyone talks to themselves? I thought it was natural and normal! Now, I am odd?

i know a few people that do that. my mum is one of the most vocal and sometimes when i stay there i'll swear she said something to me but she was just talking to herself about what she was going to do next.

Well, I'm scared of talking on the phone. I can't snap my fingers. I love chocolate, but if I'm eating a chocolate candy bar, it has to have lots of nuts, because plain hard chocolate makes me nauseous. I'm also addicted to Pepsi. And, while I love the smell of coffee, I can't stand the taste.

it is much easier to talk to people face to face. on the other hand if you enjoy lying it's easier on the phone....

Well it seems everyone is stuck on food. As far as food goes, I use fresh, grated ginger in just about everything - coffee, porridge, custard, ice cream, all vegetables, meats - everything. But I don't consider that odd. It is just me. Most people would say my quick is being totally organised in just about everything I do. I colour co-ordinate my pegs. My pegs are separated by colour in my peg basket, and my clothes etc are hung with the right colour peg to suit to article: not matching, but a happy contrast. My dinner ware. The patterns are always aligned correctly whether clean or dirty, waiting to be washed, stacked in the cupboard, or in the dish-washer. I could go on and on, but everything has a place and is always in place - EXACTLY in place. I have a system for everything. Yes, I guess I have a quirk or two, but to my way of thinking it is efficiency and saves a lot of time.

A best response just for being me? Surprise! Thank you jb.

that is hyperorganised. i'm not sure that colour co-ordinating your pegs with your clothes does increase efficiency but i'm sure it looks pretty.

Hi, jb78000. I don't really like coconut. The loose shredded kind. But the funny thing is, that, I will eat a coconut cookie, but not a whole coconut pie. I have been like this ever since me and my cousin used to go into the fridge to eat all of the coconut out of the bag. I had so much of it, until we got so sick of eating it.

I love to put chili sauce in almost every food I eat. I think it's not a very weird if it's for something like noodles and most people would do this. But I may add it on fried egg, fried fish, laksa and many more. I think this habit was due to my stay in a hostel and the food was sux. I learn to add chili sauce to adjust the taste. After that, it sort of becoming a habit.

i've been to places that always have chilli sauce on the table and it is tempting to add it to everything. the time to begin worrying is when you start putting it in your coffee or on ice cream.

I'm a neat person but someone in the house is not (keep it to yourself okay :D). I can easily remember a thing even I just seen it a long time ago. When someone in the house is looking for a specific thing, I can tell them where they are if no one move it from where I saw them before. It's kinda having a flash back that the picture is very clear and that's how I can tell where it is.
