What are your annoying quirks or habits?

[inej]

I buy 3 newspapers on a sunday and have to read them in the same order every week.
Even if full always save my yorkshire puddings till last.
What are yours ? thanks

[andy-hughes]

On Sunday mornings, I like half an hour undisturbed to read the Sunday Times Culture and Magazine, and I get really ratty if I'm disturbed.

I always like to follow food with tea and chocolate if i can.

My wife says I never give straight answer, even to the simplest questions.

[Booldawg]

ha ha inej, you have compulsive behaviour syndrome! I've been known to drive back home several miles to check if the door is locked.

Hi inej,

When mrs sparx puts the place mats on the table,it stands out like a sore thumb if one of them is round the wrong way,iv'e got to turn it round, I also always leave a little drop of tea in my cup,goes back to the days of tea leaves, god that was horrible a mouthfull of grouts, I probably have loads but I won't admit to them !!!!

[wonder years]

when i have a bowl of creial, and there is some milk left in the bowl i allways have to pour more cerial in to soak up the milk, it annoys my husband who says cant you just drink the milk thats left but i,ve done this since i was a kid, and now its like i have to do it!!!!! bit odd eh?

[Supernick]

I set my alarm for 7.13am every morning. I have no idea why I selected that specific time originally, but I like it now and won't change it.

[wonder years]

talking about yorkshire puds inej, when i lived at home yorkshire pud was allways served seprate then you had your diiner after, do any other abs do this.

[whiffey]

Like Booldawg, I am always returning home to check the front door, not for being locked, but even closed! I came home from work one day to find my front door wide open.

Also, I have to get down the stairs before the flush stops.

OOOhh! Wonder Years my gran used to give us Yorkshires that way! then bread and gravy afterwards! Yum!!

My odd habit:

My email checks automatically every 15 minutes, and i have to have it check on the hour, quarter past, half past, quarter to etc! if it is a minute out i have to wait til the next quarter to reset it! And i get really annoyed if it doesnt work! Barmy!!

[Hellion]

When I'm eating a meal I have to save a little piece of everything for the last mouthful so, if it's a roast dinner say, a little bit of chicken, a little bit of roast potato, a little bit of carrot , pea and cabbage and some gravy. Don't now why but my Mum says I've done it since I was three!

[sense4all]

Mr Sense says logging onto answerbank. Even though I have furnished him with some excellent info. from here- what a brat!

[China Doll]

I crack my knuckles, if I'm going away for a few days I always take at least four extra pairs of pants, I also read the sunday paper in a certain order, I set my alarm for an hour before I have to get up to ensure that I will actually wake up at the time I should (lots of snooze button action), I hate leaving the house without hearing the weather.... I have loads!

[wonder years]

just thought of another habit, if its cold and i,am sat by the fire and happen to be eating a choclate biscut, i allways have to melt the choclate on the biscut then eat while its warm and runny.

[spaced]

checking I have locked the door, unplugged un used plugs is a fave of mine. Have been known to be late for work where I have gone back home to check! OCD!!!!

[Hellion]

wonder years - I like dunking chocolate biscuits in a hot drink.

[froggo]

i flick my nose and it makes a funnie sound
i know its weird but i dont even know im doing it :~(

[soozmac]

I can't sleep in a room if there are any cupboards or drawers open, and the door has to be shut too.

[Rufio]

Soozmac my mum's like that with drawers, sure fire way of winding her up is to leave a drawer ajar just a little, she can't stand it and has to close it properly immediately! For me, i crack my knuckles and neck when i'm nervous or excited, i always have to wipe a toilet seat anti clockwise twice before i sit on it even if i know i was the last one on it, and my clocks in my bedroom are all varying degrees upto ten minutes fast. Oh, and the window always has to be open when i go to sleep.

[legal girl]

I've got loads too. I can't sleep with my wardrobe door open in case the wardrobe monster escapes in the middle of the night (I don't have a clue where I got that from!). I also can't sleep if there's a crack in the curtains in case there happens to be a man up a ladder looking in the window! Have to have my stapler and hole punch in a certain position on my desk; what a bunch of weirdos we are!

[Notsure]

Hi Everyone,
My habits are similar , cant go to bed with doors open, have to unlock the front door to go back inside to check I've turned the iron/oven off. And Im forever washing my hands.

[soozmac]

thank God I'm not alone!
