I was just wondering what kind of weird ticks you guys might have.... I know we are all "normal" For example me I can't bring myself to drink milk on or any day after the experation even if its not gone bad yet. I can't have the door to the room I'm in closed all the way. I'm a paranoid germ freak. Don't even say the word buffet when talking about dinner....and don't even think about double dipping or drinking out of the container (which my husband does ).

I've been known to stand in the shower with a cup of coffee in my hand ;D. It also takes me about a half an hour to back out of my driveway for fear of hitting an animal .

Ok, this outta sound different....I don't like having some foods touch each other on my plate....at home I'm not too bad but in restaruants, sometimes you don't have a choice... We went to a steak house (called the Keg ...excellent steaks and seafood).....anyway, one time I ordered a teriyaki sirloin and it came with asparagus and a grilled tomato covered in baraniase(sp) sauce...well the sauce was seeping towards my steak and fries so I used the asparagus to build a dam to hold back the sauce (which I don't like anyway)...to this day, my wife thinks I'm a kook (after 26 years, she'd be the best one to know) but you do what you gotta do...like if I wanted salad dressing all over the side of my hamburger bun, do you not think I would of asked for it that way...?? There is another fancy restaruant where they serve the food to you stacked up like planes coming into Newark....the meat's on the bottom, veggies in the middle, some sauce, and whatever else you ordered....it looks like the leaning tower of pisa if you ordered the right combination of food....I just pushed everything over and did the "positive separation" (to borrow an ATC term)...it worked... -Richard

Come on Ann, Loey... there's got to be something ME? I can't get only one hand wet. Like if one hand gets something on it and needs rinsing off, I have to get both wet. I can't (and I mean CAN'T) drink the last sip out of a can or glass. GAG! And I'm a freak about keeping my fridge cleaned out. I don't mean about germs, but amount of stuff. I'm always moving stuff around to make it look emptier or putting in in the door... And I'm with you on the buffet, Brooke. The whole idea of slopping up to the feed trough.....

Ok here is one although I am sure I will come up with more You know how some moms can eat off their childs plates? I cant do that. I cant share any type of food with anyone! If someone else has taken a bite off of something and then offers some to me YUK I dont like buffets either and I have to deal with one at work everyday for the elderly residents that makes me GAG!

I myself would rather eat out of my dog's bowl than off of a buffett. I also REFUSE to touch the door knob when leaving a public restroom - all those balled up paper towels right inside the door...my doing

I am a freak about food and people with colds/flu. I had a severe case of food poisening once and the second things are not super fresh, in the garbage they go. Any meat product (except beef which I don't eat anymore anyway because of mad cow) is cooked until it is unrecognizabe. Hmmmmmm, maybe that's why Brian always says lets have pasta. If a person sniffles or sneezes, I go to the other side of the room. I eat proportionately and at the end there is always one bite left of everything. I don't even do this on purpose. ;D

Amyjo I dont think the doorknob thing is weird I think it's smart. Thinking about it yeah maybe I am a germ freak too ! Whenever anyone in the house has a cold, flu whatever I am on a disinfection campaign ;D I boil the silverware, have a disinfection solution for my dishes, wipe down the door knobs with bleach water, spray the phone. I go nuts I am not an overly obsesive housekeeper in this house you could never be, but I am on germ patroll all the time. There is a great diference between a messy house and a dirty one. I can deal with toys and stuff laying around but dirt and germs YOUR OUTA HERE

I'm the same way with door nobs or faucet nobs even. I never understood why people turn on the faucet wash their hands and go and turn it off with bare hands again. YUCK! Whats the purpous of washing anyway. And I can't stand those blowdryer things...I feel like its blowing around all the germs and they are clinging to my wet hands or something. (Ok...I know I'm a little out there sometimes) And I'm with you Beth I can't drink the last bit out of the glass or cup either....
