It makes me want to pluck out my eyelashes.

And none of my bath towels match.

Tell me...do you comb the fringe on your rugs too?

Duh.

But, I do throw my dirty underwear on the bathroom floor and sometimes leave it for an hour or so.

This would never happen in my house.....

...mostly because the collie will pick it up, carry it around, and try to give it to everyone. Just sayin'

When fixing up a cup of coffee the sweetener MUST go in before the milk. The coffee must be at optimal heat to ensure proper sweetener melting and distribution.

Oh. And I can only eat shrimp if it is breaded. Because if I can SEE the shrimp I know that it is ugly and I gag if it gets near my mouth.

this is a great thread! I have so many idiosyncracies it's not even funny!

-i LOVE mexican food but i CRINGE when i hear someone eating tortillia chips..

-the TP must go over the top...i've been known to change it around when i'm visiting someone..

-i HATE touching someone else's dirty silverware..*gag*..
speaking of dirty dishes, if someone gets dirty hands from eating (like maybe bbq sauce all over their fingers)...and leaves fingerprints on their milk glass, i will come pretty dang close to hurling...

-my pillow has to be jussssst right...cold side up, fluffed just so, no one else may use my pillow EVER!

thats all for now but i'll be back~!

The end of the counter is MINE ! All others are liable to get keelhulled for placing items on MY COUNTER SPACE !

Paleeeez, dont roll my socks...one gets all stretchy and I hate bunches of socks around my toes, HATE THAT.

Laundry= HOT WATER...White load, Dark load, and then whatever is leftover gets stored until there's enough to do a like-color load...

Kitchen gets cleaned if its the last thing I do at night...always.

Sofa pillows go back to their assigned place at the end of the day.

Coffee has to be piping hot...I put hot water in my cup while I wait for my pot to brew.

After making a sandwhich I must have a bite in the kitchen (what if I forgot a necessary ingredient?)

Toothpaste? Walk away from the tube and no one gets hurt. Middle squeezers must run...

I better stop now before Ms. Fru has second thoughts about moving in...

I just found this thread. Have read each post by each of you FREAKS. I'm now like you. At all.

Okay maybe.

• Metropolis? YES! You must have one piece of cheese for each cracker. If I don't have enough, I will reslice a piece of cheese or put a cracker back in the box.
• There is only one kind of soy sauce. That is La Choy. I will take the unopened bottle of *blech* Kikkoman's to the food pantry place. No no and no.
• Middle squeezers should also flee me. I made my son buy his OWN tube because he is a middle squeezer.
• I will change the TP roll so it goes over the top.

Does anyone else wonder if the dairy/cheese and mustard/meat thing has a religious background? I mean that's a bit kosher, isn't it? In a loose sort of way? (I'm being serious here.)

• Other quirks--red beans and rice need cornbread.
• Cornbread should be sweet--like cake.
• Silverware goes POINT UP in the dishwasher so all the icky rolls off the part you put in your mouth.
• Chili is a savory not sweet dish.
  

OH...put your shoes on any surface other than the floor and prepare for the Arwen lecture on why shoes don't go on any surface other than the floor.

I once stopped dating someone because she got in the bed with her shoes on. (Okay, so it was her bed and it was made but still--that squicks me out!)

For the longest time, when it came to eating spaghetti, I couldn't have the sauce on the noodles, I had to have it separate, in its own little pile on my plate, away from noodles, this way I could eat it on my french bread.

Every once in awhile I go through a phase where when I go to a fast food restaurant, I get mayo in the packets and dip my fries in it, they have the best mayo in those little packets!

My sandwiches have to be made a certain way. If I am making it at home, when I put mustard on, it can only have 4 tiny drops of mustard on one side, and two tiny drops on the other, just enough to give it a little flavor with the mayo.

If I am ordering a sandwich from Togos (I wont eat subways cause of the way their meat is), then I take apart then sandwich when I get it, and rebuild it to my liking.

Stuff that isn't food related...

I cant stand it when someone moves something on my desk at work. If my monitor is moved slightly, my phone, or something, it completely freaks me out and throws me off balance the entire rest of the day. When we moved to our new building, I labeled everything on my desk to ensure I didn't get anyone elses stuff, and I spent a week trying to feel comfortable again, it was hell.

I thought all red beans and rice just naturally came with cornbread............ LoL

No mayo. Not a mayo person. no mayo on anything. she said, marrying a dutch person. and if you don't understand what that means, go look up some photos of dutch food. My wedding buffet was cooked by my mother in law and my auntie in law. They got up at 6am and cooked all day, dragged the food through the blizzard (we married on xmas solstice) and put out plate after plate, about 25 dishes in all, and I'd say 75% of them were *drenched* in mayo.

I tried to hide my West Coast Vancouverite healthfood back ground horror stricken Expression. they had worked SO hard. ugh. Then had to try and explain that some of *my* guests were vegan. which is rather difficult because in dutch vegetarian is "vega". Not the same thing. I asked them to put out the VEGAN food I spend 6 hours making the night before. "but this is Vega, here and here and here" pointing to cheese and mayo addled food. "no. veg-AN N EN. erm. can you please just put the food I made out?" "no no it's all right barbara, it's all right, we make!! see! *Proud hand swipe*"

Ugh. finally "inki. I know your auntie and mom have busted their balls all last night and been up since 6am this morning. But if they don't put the food I made out, I will kill them. Sweetly. With deep appreciation. My dutch isn't good enough. PLEASE."

What a sticky spot!

Ugh! Tomatoes. Not with meat of any kind. Or cheese for that matter. Not cooked. Not tinned. Not out of season. Not with salad. Not ketchup. Not Heinz beans. No artificial tomato flavour at all. The only acceptable tomato is fresh, in season and grown by my Pops but even then I'll only have one or two.

Carrots, mashed only.

Veggies, soft. No al dente, no crudite. Soft....ta ever so in advance.

Home-made steak burgers. I will not eat a fast-food burger...never have, never will.

Bog roll over the top please.

Porridge with salt, black pepper and butter...yes I am a trifle odd.

Red wine in tumblers, like in Spain, not in stemmed glasses.

Free range, organic chicken and eggs only.

Only filo and puff pastry are acceptable to be bought in.

No peas.

Home-made roasted garlic mayo.

Not Daddies or HP but Marks and Sparks brown sauce only.

Butchers made haggis not factory made.

......I could go on!












ps. English mustard or hot sauce with *everything*...especially cheese.

I enjoy Peanut butter (smooth) and jam.
I enjoy peanut butter (smooth) and mayonaise.
So, I HAD to try peanut butter, jam, AND mayo.
On wheat bread, no tastless, gummy white bread, please.

My favorite sandwinch, with cold milk (1%).


Hey, don't knock it till you try it....

The very fact that there is FACTORY-MADE haggis.

[Kelt]

I have far too many general quirks to even think of listing them, but when it comes to food I am not very picky and have an interest in trying new and different things. That said:

Temperature.

Hot things need to stay hot until finished, preheat the plate please.

Cold needs to stay cold, a cold drink requires an ice cube.

Etc..

The exception to this (you knew there would be one) is ice cream. Room temp bowl then microwave 9-11 seconds depending on serving size to get the right consistency. Go figure.

Oh, and toothpaste; rolled from the bottom 1cm deep roll held that way with a black binder clip 3cm wide.
