    Default How "Weird" are you?

    Just a bit of fun, I need a bit of cheering up... feeling sorry for myself lol.

    As the question asks... How weird are you?

    I have to have things in a certain way... Example, today I did scrambled eggs for the kids. I had a fresh box of 15 eggs and used four eggs. I had to get one from each corner so the box stayed symetrical lol... Whenever I do thing like that DH rolls his eyes and calls me weird lol

    I also have a Virgin box with record and if we watch a film I have to fast forward it so it showes as "viewed" and not "partially viewed" bugs husband to high heaven when I do that lol

    That all sounds perfectly normal to me

    If I'm using anything with a volume control (TV, CD player etc) I can't have it on volume 13. I am not a superstitious person, but I just cannot leave anything on number 13!

    And my own kids always say I'm wierd when they make me a cup of coffee or get me a glass of water. They have to rince the cup or glass under the cold tap first, but mustn't dry it! I don't see anything wrong with that, but they seem to think it's wierd.

    I can only drink coffee out of certain cups. (Same as my mum!) If I'm round someones and the offer me a drink, I have to spot the cup first.

    To me, it tastes wrong if the cup is wrong. DH doesn't get that and still laughs!

    All my clothes pegs have to match! - For example I use all of one colour first then all another colour and then another.
    Dh thinks I'm strange and mixes them up - which he knows winds me up!!

    Oh I do the cup thing too!
    I hate drinking out of cups that are too dark on the inside or ones that have fat rims.

    I think we all do funny things like this.
    I am one of the weird ones who likes even numbers so if I was to stand on a crack in the pavement I have to stand on another one with my other foot!

    I have to do that as well. I don't often put clothes on the line, but when I do, I have a rotary line, with 4 sections. Each section has it's own colour peg. I don't see anything wierd about it... it just looks nicer

    Completely agree!!

    I have a Sky box and completely panic if I get to below 40% left and if anything says 'viewed' I have to delete it! It drives my son mad cos he wants to keep all his programmes and I delete them as soon as he's watched them

    Well, sounds like I am more normal than I thought
    I do a number of the fore-mentioned.

    Tea from china mug, coffee from pot one.
    All hangers in wardrobe have to have labels facing left and front of clotes facing left.
    Cups stacked in cupboard in tea/coffee, kids un-stacking dishwasher NEVER do this.
    The list could go on......

    Lol you just reminded me of another one... I have my wardrobe so orgnised (dont have a chest of drawers so everything hangs lol) from right to left I have my shorts, trousers, jeans, vest tops, short sleeved tops then short sleeved shirts/blouses, long sleeved top then long sleeved shits/blouses, Jumpers, light jackets, coats.

    Then they are all in order if light to dark and my shoes are all neatly in the bottom "best shoes" in the back and everyday shoes in the front... again right to left... light to dark lol

    Think I may need help
