To ask if you have any weird quirks

[PenguinCuddler300]

I'm here publicly admitting (although with name change) that I'm 27, married and a mother of one and I like to sleep cuddling my jelly cat penguin my hubby bought me when I was 18

Anyone else a bit random?

As a PP said, I have to walk on the left of people. But its because if I walk on their right, I'll wobble into them. No idea why but it always happens.

I rub the end of my nose when I'm reading, I feel it helps me to concentrate.

I walk past a big mirror when i pee at night. Never thought about the murderer behind me :( Thank you

I sleep with the bear I’ve had since I was 4, and the build a bear minion (Bob) DH bought me 2 and a half years ago. Bob is chief cuddle buddy as he is just the right size and shape, the bear is a bit flat after 28 years of me using his bum as an extra pillow!

Another who does the same as @Glumglowworm thank god it's not just me!

Also have to put the tv/radio volume on an even number.

Can't think of anything else right now but I'll be back if I think of another!

I wont drink the bottom half an inch of my coffee, regardless of the size of the cup

Ppl have tried giving me less coffee and even with expresso, i leave a proportionate amount in the bottom of the cup/mug/barrel

My Teddy bear got removed from the bed when DH and I moved in together. Hearing all these stories of people who remained loyal to their stuffed friends makes me feel very guilty for abandoning mine so easily!

The butter/marge has to be level in the tub - no digging allowed!
My cutlery has to match - we have several sets of different ones and I can't eat if I don't have a knife and fork from the same set.

Tv volume has to be on a even number.

Partner has bad OCD... So pressing windows, doors, checking and re checking handles and locks etc...

Alot of these on here arent quirks, they are OCD traits

I am a thumb sucker too. I'm 36 and when I'm really tired I do it without realising. I also run the bridge of my nose with the first finger of the thumb sucking hand.
I sleep with one ear plug in. I used to sleep with two in until the youngest came along. I couldn't use two with a small baby but couldn't manage without. Sometimes I forget they are in and I think I've gone deaf in one ear
In bed, at night, if I think about the fact my legs are due a shave or my toenails are due a trim I can't leave it till the morning. I always try and I always fail, regardless of the hour.

I can't leave a jagged bit of toilet roll after I've pulled some off. I'll pick at it until there's a straight line. It embarrasses me to think that someone else will know I've been there and left it scruffy.

I am loving all my fellow teddy cuddlers!

@AmaraSas I'm like that with juice bottles! I never drink the bottom of them ever!!

I'm sorry, but that made me giggle like a schoolgirl.

@Mimsy123 I know, I thought that as I wrote it because I nearly put "the top of his helmet" which is probably worse

hen I do this clucky clear my throat thing at the same time. I know it gross and annoying but it’s so satisfying. I dont know anyone else that does this and my husband finds it disgusting.

Slightly worried that you're my MIL....

Most of mine revolve around little songs that I've made up. Whimsical i guess.

Wish I'd written them all down as I do forget them as go through phases

Exampes)

"I've got a poooop coming out the hooooop"

"Maaaaaake me'go to work... I don't wantttto, make me cut yo'hair.... I don't wanttttto"

"Ya ya... ya hurrrrrtttiiiiing"

I count down in my head from 20 when I don’t want to move from bed / settee / go anywhere I can’t be bothered to.

Sometimes I’ll get to three and start back at 20 like I’m tricking myself.

It doesn’t help, I just ignore my countdown but it’s a weird habit I’ve got 😂

If asked for a pen I tap my cleavage (I wear scrubs at work and hook it in the neck hem).

If asked for keys or the time I tap my left hip then left boob (work uniform again).

If asked for scissors I tap my right bum cheek.

If I'm not at work it's very confusing for people!

I'm making a documentary. Usually it's about winning a huge amount on the lottery and although I'm glad and grateful I'm afraid it will ruin us, DH and I will divorce, the DC's will not be able to cope with the changes to private schools and won't fit in etc. I talk a lot about the charities I'm setting up (there are 2) and about the new cars and the potential houses we might buy- whether we leave London and live somewhere we can have rescue goats, chickens and a donkey etc. Otherwise it's about what's going on in my life and how I feel/ what I think about it, DD starting school, expecting second baby etc. I mouth it now instead of saying it out loud because once DH came home and could hear me talking, I'd have been MORTIFIED if he heard what I was doing.
The plus side to this is that I know if I ever do win the lottery I mustn't ever, ever be involved in a documentary about it because no matter how hard I try to be cool for my viewers I'm David Brent!

I can't walk over 3 drains! That was a thing when I was a teenager and I'm the only one still doing it!!

Still take my bear to bed 😶

Can't sleep with my arms outside of the covers as worry something will touch them 😂

I had a blankie when I was very small and have never outgrown the habit of snuggling something woollen/knitted at bedtime, it's been a scarf for the last several years. I'm coming up to 45 soon!!!

I do weird writing in my head. I’ve done it for years and years.

I’ll isolate a random word or phrase from a conversation I’m having or something off tv (I’m doing it right now with the phrase ‘back of the net’ - DH is watching football), and then write it in my head but with each letter sort of, wrapped neatly around/affected by, the letter that precedes it. So the ‘b’ of ‘back’ is normal, the ‘a’ indents to fit around the curve of the b, the ‘c’ has a straight edge as it’s flattened against the ‘a’ and the ‘k’ is normal...

I’m so used to doing it now I can do it almost instantly.

Still sleep with the teddy (barely recognisable as such) I was given my by grandma at birth - I'm 42, married with 3 children. My husband throws it out the bed before I get in every night 'for fun'

calmandbright I also have to imagine things to fall asleep, and I also imagine that I am trapped in a log cabin. But mine is in a snowstorm... And wolverine from X-men is there.

I have to tuck my pyjama legs into my socks, otherwise they ride up in the night and my ankles will get cold.

I have to pee before I go to bed, but I has to be the very last thing I do. So if I pee, brush my teeth and then go to bed, I will not feel right and have to go back to the bathroom and pee again. That's a fairly recent one and I don't know why I do it.

Girliefriendlikesflowers I thought i was the only one who still did the stupid drain thing! 2 drains fine but 1is bad 3 is even worse!

I have to pee before I get into bed.
My pillows have got to be in a v shape,the bottom pillows have to be straight.
Washing up HAS to be done before I go to bed/go out.
Only one curtain closed in the lounge - the one over the back door,never the other one.
Rinsing my hair in the shower,I have to rinse the shampoo/conditioner off my hands before my hair.
