- I smoother my food in ketchup

- I could talk to myself in my bathroom mirror for an hour just doing a fake conversation or pretending something really awesome just happened like me winning the lotto :o

- I absolutely HATE (and I mean HATE) when people make slurping noises when drinking hot beverages such as tea, hot chocolate, or coffee. If I hear noises like this I usually end up leaving the room because it infuriates me that much

- I love stepping on dead leaves and hearing them make that crunchy sound. If I see a "crunchy" looking dead leaf on the ground I occasionally will just walk all the way over there just to step on it.

- I am absolutely fascinated by squirrels and ants. Whenever I see one I just can't help but observe their behavior.

- I feel like one of life's greatest (albeit, simple) pleasures is resting your head on a cold pillow when you just slipped into your bed.

- I can sometimes listen to the same song on my ipod for over 30 minutes without getting tired of it

- Whenever I bored during class lecture I imagine my professor doing really unusual things such as break dancing in the middle of class, or falling from the ceiling and crash landing on the podium.
 
I'm turning into a person that has to was his hands all the time...

I'm similar to this, except I love stepping on thin ice on the street just to hear it crack :D
 
I can't drop a 2 in a public bathroom. The best I can do is a work bathroom or if I'm having severe stomach problems. If I do, there can't be anyone in a stall next to me or it has to be one of those stalls that have walls from floor to ceilings.

I have to drink most things ice cold even in the winter. Even if drinks have been in the refrigerator, I still add ice.

I don't like sitting in a restaurant with my back to the door.

Do you know the feeling of being behind someone at an ATM and they are taking a year to figure out what they are doing or going through every possible ATM scenario? That's how I feel about everything. For example, if I'm waiting for someone to pull out a space, and it's like they are preparing a space shuttle for lauch, I get extremely annoyed.
 
I run a hot bath, but wash myself with a sponge and soapy water *before* i get into the bath.

This is because when i run a bath it is to help me sweat out any toxins in my body, so when I step out of the hot water, I don't want a lot of soapy water clogging up my pores, so I can have the full sweat out.

Trust me, i am a scientist, i have tried doing my sweat out technique after having washed myself in the bath, and laying there in soapy water, you don't get the best results.

This is a technique i have developed myself and I guess I am the only person in the world who does it, I also dunk my head in the bath water afterwards to wash my hair.

If there is anyone out there who also does this sweat out technique, please let me know, cause i am thinking of writing and illustrating it all out into pamphlets and selling them as a 'how to have your own steam-room/sweat lodge at home'.

that is really impressive to me, seriously. I can dance and pulls appropriate facial responses to disco records that are playing on the radio while i am looking in the bathroom mirror, but I never tried having any kind of conversation with myself.
I think it is probably better I do not try that, lol.
 
I talk to myself or make random noises. I usually just do this when I'm alone but don't sometimes don't notice I'm doing it when someone is around.

Same here. I love making random noises and stuff. Its fun.
 
I'm glad I'm not alone on the "random noise making". lol I also can't take a **** with shoes or tight socks on.
 
when i get anxious i repeatedly rub my palms on my thighs.
 
I can't take a **** in my house unless im completely naked lol
 
  • I cover toilet seats with tissue paper. It's not a germ thing, I want a warm seat for my bum.

    I have to wipe with baby wipes.

    I talk to myself when I'm by myself.

    I write down every new movie I see. I've been doing this since 2006.

    I have to sleep with noise in the background.

    I can't be around people all day. I need time in a room by myself.
 
I feel awkward doing errands and stuff if I don't have a list made.
 
I tear up whenever I sing. Not just emotional songs, I tear up to everything I try to sing.
 
When I'm uncomfortable I go right to picking my nails or covering part of my face/rubbing my stubble with my hands. It's a shame I stopped smoking, sure there's lung cancer, but at least I had something to do with my hands.
 
Whenever I'm walking down the sidewalk, I avoid stepping on cracks.

I do a lot stuff for the simple reason that I think it will make a good story.

There's a million more that I'll post when I remember them.
 
I always have to use a new sponge every time I wash the dishes. The thought that my dad and sister use the same sponge every time to clean the dishes grosses me out. Also, I have to wash the dishes with rubber gloves on. I hate having my bare hands close to gross, stuck-on food
 
-I talk to myself alot when no one is around.

-I get annoyed when someone is in the kitchen when I'm unloading the dishwasher.

-I'm unusually emotional for a guy.

-I can't take a shower when one of my dogs are in the bathroom.

You either spend a **** ton of money on sponges, or you don't wash your dishes that much. Sponges are not cheap, I use mine until, well, until it absolutly can't be used any more. But I'm very poor.

Lets see, I try not to step on cracks when walking.

I have to shower everyday no matter what or I feel disgusting.

I have to have a fan on to sleep, and also I can't sleep anywhere but my bed.

Thats all I can think of right now.
 
When I take medications, I fill a cup with water and hold it a couple of inches about my mouth. I pour it in without letting it touch my lips. This way I don't have to wash the cup.
 
I feel embarrassed for the dancer guy who's late getting the text message telling him they postponed the flash mob in the AT&T commercial.
 
I can't let the volume level on the car stereo be an odd number.

I talk to myself when I am alone sometimes, also I make the ridiculous noises. I can also have a conversation with myself if I am bored enough. Usually with different dialects or accents.

If I am doing a number 2 somewhere, I won't leave the stall until I think everyone else in the bathroom is gone.

I avoid telling anyone where I live. It took 5 years just for me to finally invite my best friend over.

I always sit somewhere close to a door or exit. I try not to sit in a place where someone can sneek up on me.

Out of all the quirks that are listed here, I just cannot imagine how you would get started on that one, lol.
I don't really want to know or anything, lol, it's just really funny to me thinking that one day you guys were constipated and had a 'eureka' moment with that idea, and that it worked.

Well, we seem to have a reverse kind of problem of the one listed above, you can't start wearing your clothes in the shower, that would be ridiculous, so I would suggest dressing your dogs up in your clothes every time I took a shower.

I don't have any quirks

Aye, I can't think of any for myself really either, I mean, everything i do that might be considered out of the ordinary, has a practical reason for me doing so, or I find it entertaining or whatever.
I wish i had some to list, cause I have enjoyed reading this thread, it has given me quite a good laugh.

ok, i liked this one, and was thinking about it, what might be happening with you there is that because you know the music is coming out of two speakers, subconciously you want the same amount of numbers coming out of both speakers with an even number, so if you put it at '8' , you have '4' coming out of each speaker, lol.
