Mustard on the CHEESE?: Idiosyncracies!

[DamonK]

I tolerate certain foods touching. But I eat one thing at a time.

You'd be better off just letting me do my own socks, but she's figured it out. Although, out of habit, I check while getting the next pair of socks.

I like my undershirts folded a certain way, but lately I haven't had time to do that, so as long as they're folded and put away, I can deal.

Hot dogs are disgusting. However, I will tolerate a chili dog with mustard and cheese.

I'm all for the equal number of crackers and cheese, but it needs to be cheddar, and preferably summer sausage. And saltines please. I don't like Ritz.

I do not like being sticky. I'm a LOT better about it. I used to... freak out... mild way to put it, ie: run for the bathroom or nearest sink to clean up, or stand frozen unable to move to clean it off. Shoulda been there a few wks ago when I got syrup on my scrubs. Not pretty.

Generally, if I don't like it, I won't cook it. However, for instance, if she wants mixed veggies, I have no problem fixing a veggie for me since I don't like the stuff she does.

When I could choose what scrubs to wear, I hang them a certain way. Pants then shirt. 1 hanger. In order that I want to wear them for that week.

I hate tying my sneakers until I get to work.

I had to learn to put my badge, gait belt, pen, batteries, keys....everything I need for work in ONE spot, otherwise I can't find them the next morning and I'm late.

Closed captioning has to be on the TV. If a movie is being watched that isn't captioned or subtitled, I probably won't even attempt to watch it. I end up getting too frustrated.

Apple juice is a necessity.

I clean in a certain order. And I have lists. And I follow them.

Ideally, I don't like clutter. I don't even like knick knacks. Clutter will be gone soon. Knick knacks, I will tolerate.

I refuse to help with the fish. I will feed the fish only. I refuse to change the water, due to an accident when I was a kid.

I am deathly afraid of mice. Certain people know why. For example, a nest was found in the garage. I refused to enter the house through the garage for over 2 months AFTER the nest and...inhabitants...were gone. Even now, it's hard. If one is seen or heard, I almost become paralyzed. For this reason, I am not the one to deal with this issue when it arises.

Potato chips in a bologna and mustard sammich is the BEST!!! I haven't had one of those since I could inhale the calories with nary a concern to be found. I would sometimes put my tiny, crunchy (had to be McD's fries) fries in my hamburgers too.

Mayo/Miracle Whip (I prefer MW but won't go totally spastic on you if you mess it up....usually) and ketchup do NOT belong together on the same food item. It's sacrilegious.

Mayo should NEVER touch a lima bean. That's all I have to say about that. *puke*

I'm Italian and a 'good eater' so there's not much I won't at least try but the things that I don't like or even hate are solid, like steel or granite.

Someone I once lived with did my laundry and although they grasped the concept on how I like my tee shirts folded couldn't get the....
I don't like my socks balled up because they get stretched out....so, I just made her stop doing my laundry.

I can only eat leftovers once

I do not like pizza reheated,
so someone else must eat leftovers

No pickles on my sandwiches,
put them on my plate and I'll eat them

When ordering a fast food burger, I'll ask to leave the pickles off
If I find pickles on it, I'll take it back
I found even if I pull the pickles off the taste stays

I can only eat kosher dill pickles
Those jarred ones on grocery store shelves suck

[Softhearted]

Hm, I see that I could gross out some of you with my fries with mayo or fries with mayo/ketchup sauce or fries with mayo/curry sauce... LOL

If I have a few too many beers then I automatically crave kebab. It's got to be mixed kebab, not just the meat carved off the big rotating thingy, it's got to have koftah and shish kebab meat in it, with lettuce, in pitta bread, with garlic sauce, NO chilli sauce, cos that stuff burns at both ends ...

I hate men leaving the toilet seat up, especially when they're the only man living in a household of women!

Collections of DVD's belong together, not randomly shoved onto a shelf, if they're all Star Wars movies, then they should be placed together!

Tea, for me, is a tea bag, in a cup, boiling water poured over it, with milk and two (fake) sugars (hence two n moo), I can't get iced tea, it's just not done in the UK, tea is hot ...

I have really bad knees, years of not taking care of myself mean that they crunch, loudly, to the point where anyone walking behind me up stairs can hear it, which means, cos I don't know when my knees may or may not give out, and cos of the noise, I always prefer people I know to walk ahead of me up stairs ...

I love cooking, but if I'm cooking in someone else's kitchen and they hover, I turn into a grumpy bastard, if I'm cooking for you, then I. am. cooking. for. you. I don't need help, I know how to cook, so you can sit or stand and talk to me, but if I do something in the way you don't, please, don't try to tell or show me how 'you' do it, cos that's not how 'I' do it, okay? lol

[Sachita]

OMG I'm hungry

I combine so many things- foods, herbs, spices, etc and most of the time I pile everything on top of each in a bowl and eat it together. I love mixing cold salad with warm food.

I like cheese with crackers or bread. no mustard.

It drive me fucking crazy when people use the last of the toilet paper and don't put another roll on.

If you open, borrow or move something put it back where it belongs. This drives me crazy. Major pet peeve.

I have a bad knee and going downstairs hurts worse then going up. I always have to ask someone to carry the simplest things in case it goes out and I fall.

I hate laundry. I don't care how it gets done. I hate housework but I do it because I have to.

Don't ever give me a bad cup of coffee or coffee made wrong in the morning. Bitchtilla will arrive and give you a coffee enema.

I like to mix my taters with LIMA beans or corn. And mayo goes with artichokes the next day when they have been chilled in the frig. catsup I like with mayo and mustard on My hot dog.

Lima beans are God's second biggest mistake. The biggest is avocado.

Does this mean you wouldn't like it if I gave you an avocado from My tree? How about guacamole?

Ewwww. No. I would not like anything from your guacamole tree.
Nasty. You KNOW better.

DVDs have to be grouped a certain way - by actor, writer (Jane Austen, Tom Clancey), drama, action or stuff I don't like/haven't gotten rid of yet but leave there for other people. And DVDs must be put back in the case when done watching and then put back on the shelf! None of that "Oh, I'll do it later" crap.
Same goes with my CDs.
And I don't like the way Apple has set up their categories for the iPod - I think it could have been done better.
Books are arranged by subject (fiction, knitting, history) and then by author

Cynthia eats certain foods seasonally. No macaroni and potato salad or hot dogs in winter. Ever. Under no condition can this be changed.

Soup, spaghetti, roast beef? Winter food.

Who knew food was seasonal? I assume it is from the seasons being more pronounced up North?

Certain foods must be eaten for a holiday to count. Easter is scalloped potatoes and ham. Period. It is a life or death thing.

Tune fish sandwiches must be eaten with tomato soup. No other way.

Me? I just like my chicken really well done and no cheese on my sandwiches or burgers. Especially melted cheese.

Chicken on the bone which is not really well done makes me recoil in nausea.

I grew up in a house where we ate the same things every night of the week. Every Tuesday was meatloaf. To this day, I won't eat meatloaf. Ever.

My mom describes me as "the child who pulled in the other direction." And she blames my father, who was a total hellraiser and rebel, and still is.
