Stupid things you do/don't/wont/cant do

[King Gizzard]

For example..I don't use metal cutlery *shudders at the thought* so I use plastic cutlery at home. I guess if push comes to shove and i'm having a posh meal that requires them somewhere I'll do it.. hate the metal on my teeth :|

[Jamie.]

I wont go on the Humber Bridge because I'm scared of heights, even if I know I'm high up, i'd be scared :P

[Doogle]

I can't deal with plastic scraping on plastic. Nails on chalkboards doesn't bother me but plastic knives on a plastic plate... oh god I'm shivering thinking about it.

[Bollo]

It's just the tip of the iceburg but I'll start with three, so I don't sound too mental;

1.Can't put things on or near eyeballs (won't even wear eye make up and if I have to use eye drops it takes me an hour to psych myself up)
2. Can't touch food when I'm chopping/peeling it ( I have really sensitive skin)
3. Won't walk on three consecutive drains (it's a local thing, more habit really)

[Locke.]

Don't walk on 3 grids, don't walk under the sign things.

And if I'm watching a match on the TV (and it's Liverpool), and I look at the scoreline in the top hand corner, I always have to make sure the the teams name my eyes make contact with is Liverpool before I look back down at the match, otherwise the other team will score. :joker:

[Marc]

When it comes to walking over drains I have to walk on them making sure I step on each one with just one foot, so say for example, 3 drains, I'd take three steps, each step on a different drain.

I need the TV volume to be on an even number say, 24, 26, 28 etc. No odd numbers :bored:

Things pretty much need to be neat'ish in my room else I'll have to rearrange it. Used to have pretty bad OCD but I've been really laid back about it this year at Uni.

When I'm watching tennis and the player I want to win is on screen I say 'c'mon!' but only when they are on screen, if the other player comes on screen whilst I'm saying it then the person I want to win will lose the point :( So I have to be quick :evilgrin:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

When im watching tv the volume always has to be on a multiple of 5 or i cry

[Josy]

The volume on my living room tv has to be at 23.

I dont like finger nails running along a carpet (like if I'm picking something up from the floor and my nails run along the carpet I get a weird feeling.

I'm really picky about fresh food so I throw my bread out to the birds if its been open for more than 1 day even if its nearly a full loaf.

[Pyramid*]

Can't do anything remotely 'housey DIY': ie putting up shelves, curtain rails etc. Hopeless, utterly hopeless. Great at making things though.

Won't do: cutting the lawn - pay to have all that done.

Will not cook a fresh whole chicken. Have never done since I was about 22 - it was 'off' and never again could I stomach the stench.


The 'puff air in your eyes test' at eye examinations to test for Glaucoma (I think it's Glaucoma). I physically retch and gag at the thought of it and have had to sign disclaimers in the past because I just cannot get past the terror.

Refuse to: have my teeth cleaned or attended to by the hygieniest without being numbed for it. Costs a bloody fortune: but it's that or nothing - that's how terrified I am. Pathetic.

[Jarrod]

I'm a picky eater
My room has to be to a certain state. And everything has a place and needs to be in it's place.
I have a obsession with keeping my books in order from tallest to smallest.
I've got a obsession with my bed being an even amount between the walls both sides...

[Black Dagger]

MY FOOD CAN NEVER TOUCH.

NO DAD, I DON'T WANT MY BEANS TOUCHING MY MASH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

So disgusting.

[Pyramid*]

Oh... that reminds me.

I boak if I'm served baked beans and fried egg and the yolk has run into the beans. Just something utterly bizarre, randomness - cannot stand the taste of them together, and the sight of it makes me gag.

[Kazanne]

I have this compulsive urge to tidy other peoples houses if they are messy
Don't think I could ever do a bungee jump
Like all my DVDs etc in a tidy line with all the titles the same way
and people picking their noses makes me feel sick,lol.

[Pyramid*]

Alive? :shocked:

Dead ya muppet.

Fresh as opposed to frozen. Frozen chickens I don't even acknowledge as existing !!

[Marc]

:laugh: I knew what you meant.

I even tried googling a picture of an alive chicken in the oven.. Apparently google does not condone that...

[Vicky.]

I dont have any odd habits really.

Except for that I will allow myself to feel sick for hours, even days...if it means I wont actually BE sick. I will fight it until it goes away. Or until I cant actually fight it (which hasnt happened in years)

Pisses me off actually, because most of the time I know I would feel instantly better if I just threw up but I wont actually allow myself to do so :joker:

[King Gizzard]

Use to have major OCD and had to have 'lessons'to stop it :|

Stuff like I couldn't sleep if there was anything under my bed and the life switch thing

[reece(:]

Scratching my nails on brick walls or stone

Oh.. I'm with you on that. White has to be hard - none of that half raw wobbly stuff... .. *retch*.

[RichardG]

I can only touch certain types of paper. I'm fairly ok with regular every day paper but certain types which are a bit more rough make me shiver and I get goose bumps and my teeth start to tingle. :bawling: Though normal paper can do that to me to if it's in certain places like if it touches a carpet. If I go to pick it up and the paper scrapes against the carpet the goose bumps appear again. I'm getting goose bumps now just thinking about it. Other materials can do the same to me as well when I touch them.

Art in school for me is a disaster :joker:

EDIT: like that brown book paper, I can't bare touching that so I don't really read books anymore. :( I can't read it properly because i'm too busy shivering.

[fruit_cake]

I'm really bad at reading books, I read a page and my mind has wondered elsewhere

[Pyramid*]

I'm really surprised to learn that, given that you are a teacher, that must be difficult trying to get your F.L. students to concentrate if teacher finds it easy for mind to wander.

I did not suggest you did. I made the comment

It is pretty mean..... chicky looking down and thinking, "Boris, you're looking very pale, are you unwell". :shocked:

[fruit_cake]

I never said my mind wandered when I was teaching. I said it wandered when I read books. If as usual, you're looking for someone to pick a fight with, go and find someone else.

[Pyramid*]

I never said my mind wandered when I was teaching. I said it wandered when I read books.

why on earth are you being so defensive.

It was a comment - if teacher finds reading books makes her mind wander, I'm surprised - especially when teacher has to motivate students to read books to learn - hence why I said that must be difficult.

It was a comment fruitcake, you know....as in genteel conversation.

Mabye you should learn the art of converstation fruitcake. It's fairly easy.

[fruit_cake]

I'm not interested Pyramid, find someone else.

[Pyramid*]

Deary me. Try to make civil conversation and you get the face bit off you!!

[fruit_cake]

ok Pyramid, lets have a conversation. How are you.

[Josy]

Right back on topic.......

I cant stick people grinding their teeth :mad:

I buggared all my back teeth up with that for years. Got one of those crappy protector teeth shields to wear..................... cue one very wet soggy pillow for years.

[Chuck]

I never go home after a night out in the morning because I feel extremely guilty seeing people getting into public transport to go to work after I spent the entire night having fun, so I usually go home at 5am max.
If a movie lasts 2 hours, It's gonna take me at least 3 to watch it all because I get impatient and pause it, do something else then watch it again. The same with magazines, I'm gonna read the same magazine 4 or 5 times to read it all.
I read shampoo's labels whilst I'm showering.

-thinks of more stupid things-

[Benjamin]

Don't walk on 3 grids...



I do that too. Ever since I was a kid. It makes me chuckle to myself when people must see me walking down the road and then I'll suddenly veer off course to avoid the three drains at the last minute as I realise just in time that one is there. :laugh:

[Benjamin]

I read shampoo's labels whilst I'm showering.


I also do that. :laugh:

[Ninastar]

Can't have a shower or bath for longer than 15 mins, it makes me feel faint

The same happens if I walk into a dark room after being in the light (or vice versa) I get dizzy and have to lay down

I can't brush my teeth after just eating something. The thought of crumbs and toothpaste in my mouth makes me feel sick.

short nails, ugh i can't. I hate the feeling of having them

[Marc]

Caitlin :crazy:

[CharlieO]

I cannot go near the stick in the middle of the ice cream. It makes me shake just thinking about it.
