Little quirks and things you do that don't make sense

[Evilshy 5,090]

 

We have quite a bit in common, I see.

 

In addition to those, I...

 

Give people a million nicknames. The more nicknames I give you, the more I like you. That's a way to tell without asking me. Either that, or it means the catchier your name is. The nicknames start off making sense and then evolve into weird things that have nothing to do with your name anymore. (Like how I call my boyfriend Popcornshoes even though that has nothing to do with his real name. Or my dog, named Sassy, after many years evolved into Mimpia. My friend Cal? His name was turned into Castush and now he is just Mr. Tush. Yes, I know. Ridiculous.)

 

Have a tendency to make up crazy nonsensical stories and just blurt them out to people. This has the habit of making me have a large amount of injokes with another person. My mind is seriously endless in its creativity and coming up with things. I don't know how it does it. It just does. It can also create entire worlds, premises, and concepts out of nowhere. For serious storytelling. I usually don't write them down because TOO MANY IDEAS.

 

Am not content to just post one-liners. I usually feel they are "incomplete" and must always at least add a little bit of detail to my post to pad it out. (Forum games don't count though.)

 

In Pokémon, each Pokémon must be at the same level. If I receive one that is not, I train it until it is on par with the others. Or I go insane. Also, they MUST evolve to their final stage regardless of whether or not I hate it or else I feel "incomplete."

 

I do that in pokemom as well

 

Also, funny story about nicknames. My name is Morgan, and my mom started calling me Mo for short. Then my sisters started calling me momo. A few of my friends found out, and my best friend started calling me momo. Then she got totally obsessed with Bleach for a while and started calling me momo hinamori, one of my favorite characters (after renji and ikkaku). Then she shortened that to just hinamori, and has been calling me that since. I think she's called me my actual name maybe only 3 or 4 times in the past 2 years XD

I also remind myself of extremely long RTS matches in games where it shouldn't. But I wanted to crush the enemy AI slowly. I don't do that anymore. But everyone knows what I am talking about.

Actually, that's my main Protoss strategy in Brood War. I turtle, maybe capture a few expansions, but otherwise just sit there and let them waste resources trying to break through my defenses. Then when there are no minerals left on the entire map, I start using the 10,000+ I've saved up and just lazily destroy them at my own pace.

In Age of Mythology roll Greek yourself and for everyone else. Then gently capture everyone and each of their Plenty Vaults.

When I'm the passenger in a car, if I'm not talking to the person driving, I imagine this dude running along side the car, dodging obstacles. He has a grappling hook and ziplines on powerlines. Also, sometimes instead of dodging obstacles, he has to jump and climb on stuff an avoid touching the ground.

 

So I'm not the only one

[cuteycindyhoney 13,315]

I have a small shrimp fork I use for things like cheese balls. I can't stand getting messy fingers! Also, I'm not afraid of the dark, but a light must be kept on downstairs at all times. People will break in if the living room is dark at night!

Holy crap, I do that too!

 

 

The thing about riding in the passenger side, I mean. I dunno why it didn't quote the post properly...

For example, when I'm changing the volume of something, it has to be either multiples of 5, or end in 3 or 7. It doesn't bug me if it's not, but if I can change it, I will.

 

When I'm the passenger in a car, if I'm not talking to the person driving, I imagine this dude running along side the car, dodging obstacles. He has a grappling hook and ziplines on powerlines. Also, sometimes instead of dodging obstacles, he has to jump and climb on stuff an avoid touching the ground.

 

Same here! On a car, I also imagine a dude outside running, and dodging all sorts of obstacles. Sometimes that someone is super Mario/luigi, or some guy on a skateboard.

 

One thing that I do without thought is that when I'm walking beside a person, and talking to that person, I tend to walk towards them gradually, pushing them to one side. It has been like that for many years. I guess I can't walk straight.

 

People usually blink automatically, however, sometimes I forget to blink my eyes, especially when I'm daydreaming (all the time). It looks like I'm staring at something, hard. However, I'm not really seeing anything. I sit really still, and I forget to blink my eyes, and occassionally, I forget to breath for a little while. It looks like I'm frozen in time. However, I can't really help it, I do this every now and then. It just comes and goes.

 

When I place a Lego minifg head with a face, on its body, the face HAS to be EXACTLY in the middle, symmetrical. One eye has to be on one side of the body and the other eye has to be on the other, and the mouth is split in half by a imaginary symmetrical line. Sometimes I spend very long periods of time just adjusting a Lego minifig head, and if it isn't the way I want it, I go crazy.

 

When I'm walking on a sidewalk with a mosaic pattern, I tend to walk on one specific color or shape the whole way

 

I only wear polo shirts in public. All the time, 4 seasons. I never wear a T-shirt.

 

Once in a while I jerk my neck hard in one direction, as though I'm doing a tango dance. However it is to relieve my neck muscles. It looks weird in public; I'm walking and my head suddenly bobs side to side, the left and right.

 

My handwriting is very terrible, almost non legible. However, I like my handwriting, as I am able to read it easily. What I really hate is very neat handwriting. It looks like printing, but its not, but its alined and neat, but kind of not. It drives me crazy. Either type your words or write messy.

I can never get a good night sleep on a Sunday night- I don’t know why.

 

I’ll always remember something when I don’t need it. But I guess that’s just how the brain works.

 

I never take the front product of something at any store. I just assume it has been dropped and damaged.

 

I hate long sleeve shirts because they make me feel constricted and would much rather wear a short-sleeved shirt with a sweater over it.

 

Sometimes I’ll just stare at a wall absent-mindedly.

 

If I’m holding a pen, I must fidget with it.

 

I write with my paper more or less sideways so my writing has a nifty angle.

 

I hate orange popsicles and will only eat grape/cherry…but I prefer orange juice.

 

Never step on a crack in the sidewalk.

[Kyreth 194]

When I'm walking I always have to make sure I put the same amount of weight on each foot in total over the whole journey.

 

I'm prone to fits of insane laughter when something pisses me off beyond belief. Only when I'm on my own though.

 

Whenever I come into contact with something long that I can hold in one hand I start waving it around like a sword. Again, only when I'm on my own

[Klopp 2,050]

Whenever I make a mess, I am obligated to clean it up, and refuse to let anyone else do so. I have literally walked up to one of my co-workers and said "Goddamnit, you give me that broom! This is my mess, and I will clean it up!"

 

I lock everything behind me, though this does make sense. It started from ages ago when I didn't lock the bathroom door, and my dad kept barging in with his camera cause he's an asshole >.> Then it elevated when I got a job working til 1am, and I am obligated to lock the door when I come home. Now I find myself locking things, and not realizing it, even when it prevents the following persons entry

 

I do not stop thinking, and often lose my place in reality doing so. I can think while doing anything, and often think about multiple things at once, in fact right now I am thinking about work tomorrow, what to type next after this paragraph is done, what words I should place in this paragraph, all the while having Pinkies singing telegram playing in the back of my head. And it's only not more, because right now I am tired

 

No one touches my electronic devices... NO ONE!!!! Not after having multiple things ruined, by family members and friends.

 

Whenever I enter a public restroom, I automatically check the levels of toilet paper, paper towels, and soap. This comes from my job of maintaining the restroom a couple years back at Wal-Mart.

 

Whenever I walk through a Wal-mart Store, I am constantly stating all the violations of Wal-Mart policies that I know, because I have been working their for too long.

 

I am quite a snob when it comes to artistic details. It's not that I HATE things that aren't perfect, I just often point out all the flaws (And often, if there are too many flaws, I will just keep my mouth shut, cause I am terrible at lying)

 

I'm terrible at not giving money away. If you want any examples, just ask Feld0. (I have currently thrown $125 at him. $75 for this site and $50 for the donation to BC CHildrens hospital. I'm never gonna be a millionaire )

 

I have this strange ability to feel the pain I see inflicted upon others. I'm serious, if I see someone stabbed with a knife in the stomach, I get a deep piercing pain in the exact location.

 

Even though I am right handed, my left hand seems to have far better reflexes than my right.

 

I tend to go overboard when making lists of stuff. Especially if they revolve around me, cause we all have to be a little narcissistic every once in a while.

 

Every time somepony sais "Everybody" or "Somebody", I automatically replace the ""Body" in my head with "Pony". and have often let a "Somepony" slip out at work

 

I cannot hold a large slab of wood, without pretending it is a sword. I have a marvelous time with broken pallets at work

 

I love the sound of glass breaking.

 

I am paranoid about somepony driving into me, every time I drive down the road. But then again, I do often have to dodge all those boobs chatting on their cell phones. So I would say it's well placed paranoia.

 

I bite my nails, and don't even notice that I do it. I cannot explain why, or even WHEN actually. Sometimes I just suddenly notice that my nails are shorter.

 

After watching a show that is at least 30 minutes long or so, I start acting a bit like the main character of said show.

 

I believe that if I make a post that is clearly TL;DR, I am obligated to read every single word in that thread. Even if the grammar would kill a sperm whale from 3 miles away.

[Evilshy 5,090]

A pretty weird one. In my family, I do all the dishes, and I get mad if somebody else loads the dishwasher. I have a VERY specific method in which I load the dishwasher. This type of glass goes in this row, extra ones go here, but ONLY if this other type of glass isn't taking up that place, because it has priority. The first THREE large plates go here, the fourth goes here, the rest go in space left over from the small plates. I have a place for every type of dish and silverware.

 

And if they aren't like that, I get pissed.

 

 

I also have a very specific order in which I do the dishes:

1. Empty dishwasher IF the dishes are clean. If they aren't, then I finish loading and start it.

2. Assuming the dishwasher, I load it. If it's pretty close to being full, I start it.

3. Wash the main sinks.

4. Handwash whatever isn't dishwasher safe.

5. Wash the counters in the kitchen island.

6. Wash the sink in the kitchen island.

7. Wash the other counters.

8. Clean the microwave, if it needs to be.

 

I do not deviate from this. If my mom tells me to wash the counters because she has to cook or something, I have to do all the other dishes stuff first or I feel weird. If something is already done, I have no problem skipping it, but I have to go through the list in order or I feel weird.

[Shankveld 4,950]

1. The door of my room must always be shut

2. The fan in my bathroom can be running while no one is in their, but the light must be off

3. My food cannot touch

3. Anything that has vegetables in it , cannot have ketchup in it

4. if mayonnaise can be eaten with it, it must be used

5. Multi-coloured candy must be eaten with it's colour (I eat all the reds together, then all the greens)

6. I break my chocolatechip cookies into cookie and chip and then eat them separately

7. I pick all the toppings off my pizza and then eat just a cheese pizza

 

(there is more but this list is getting too lengthy) ~

[cuteycindyhoney 13,315]

I forgot a very important one. I have to keep my keys hanging on the front door's knob. (Inside,of coursed!) It's never happened, but I have an overwhelming fear of locking myself out of the house. My husband thinks it's silly, but her knows damn well that he isn't allowed to touch or move them!

 

 

I also have a rather strong phobia about roaches. I can handle any other insect, even mice and other small animals, but if I see a roach anywhere I lose all higher brain functions and scream! Thank Celestia we never had roaches in the house! I almost lost a job once because I refused to go in my work area because I saw a roach. They ended up calling an exterminator instead of firing me!

 

[Zoop 8,384]

I can never get a good night sleep on a Sunday night- I don’t know why.

Ugh... yeah.

 

In my case I'm just so hyped about going back to work after the weekend that it keeps me up allll night.

[Lady Rarity Pony 4,892]

• I eat the pizza crust first.
• I must drink all the water they serve me at a restaurant (I hate when they refill it without me asking )
• I never go to the movies unless I have enough food to snack on all the way through.
• I always turn on a fan when I sleep, the sound helps me sleep.
• I must press down the little things on the top of the plastic covers they have on soda cups (at McDonalds, Burgher King, etc.) that tell whether the drink is diet, regular or other.
• Each and every baseball card I have collected must be perfectly organised

[Captain Marvelous 544]

I flick my wrists when I get excited

[Marshmallow 1,137]

I have a similar quirk, where I imagine a pair of cats running along side the car (or bus if I'm bored enough) and they're trying to keep up, yet not be seen by anyone...

 

I've also imagined Rainbow Dash flying, keeping up easily and dodging branches and stuff...

 

Heheh, during long bus trips when I was a kid that used to be my main source of travel entertainment, and on some occasions it still is!

 

Holy crap, I do that too!

Woah! I had no idea other people did that as well!

 

I always imagine letters, numbers, words etc. a certain color. For example, for me, the number 2 is clearly green, 3 is clearly orange, C is clearly yellow, D is green, etc. Words usually are the same color as their first letter but there are exceptions. For example, the words "dragons", "dude" and "difficulty" are all green, but the word "diamond" is blue for some reason. I know that probably doesn't make much sense, but I guess that's just how my brain works!

 

Another thing is that everything I do has to be symmetrical. Like if I touch something cold with my right hand, I also have to touch it with my left hand otherwise I will feel uncomfortable. If I step in water with my left foot, I'll have to step in it again with my right foot (I know it's pretty stupid lol but it will drive me inssane if I don't!) And it does that for pretty much everything.

Sounds like synesthesia. I know a friend myself who imagines voices and songs as having colours. Edited January 11, 2012 by Arylett Dawnsborough

Wow! It really does sound like it!

That was really interesting to read. So apparently I have synesthesia. Guess you learn something new everyday! ^^

 

Another thing I noticed I do is that whenever I'm reading stuff on the internet, I keep double-clicking on the text really fast and highlight ing it. I know this has annoyed a few people before!

[Wonka 39]

When I eat a meal with multiple dishes, I only eat the main dish last, and I only eat one section of the meal at a time, not eating another dish from the meal until the current one is finished.

[Broccoli 127]

As for me, when I eat, I have to have a little of everything on one spoon, and eat it that way. It has to have a little bit of each dish. So in other words it's kind of like mixed food.

Another of my forgotten quirks... I think it came about with trying not to lose my place on the web-page...

[FinalGamer 192]

I can't stop biting my nails.

 

If I hurt my foot, I need to hurt the other one in the exact same way and amount of pain (to an extent) so that it "balances out".

 

I also used to have a tendency to clear my throat with a little growling "scrrum" sound, which flares up from time to time whenever I feel ticklish in the throat.

[Kapi 215]

Whenever I make a mess, I am obligated to clean it up, and refuse to let anyone else do so. I have literally walked up to one of my co-workers and said "Goddamnit, you give me that broom! This is my mess, and I will clean it up!"

 

I do this too. When I help 3rd shift stock, we're told to let maintenance deal with the cardboard, but I HAVE to take care of my own.

 

i get worse too. When I use the forklift, it has to be spotless. Even the odd candy wrapper sends me into a long rant about cleaning up after yourself. When we went "super" (our store converted from a regular Walmart to a supercenter this year) it got worse.
