divilWhat eccentricities, idiosyncrasies or quirks do you have?
I am a picky fucker. I hate Dill, Mayo , Mustard and tomato chunks (smooth tomato sauce is just fine).
Unless A1 or Tabasco or Sticker Mule is available my sandwiches are dry. This seems to confuse and disgust many sandwich aficionados. I don’t care, my quirks will be accommodated

I recognize that problem from my previous job.

bcereussPeople calling “Miracle Whip” mayonnaise. People putting “Miracle Whip” on my Sammich and saying they used mayonnaise.
Volume on television and radio must be in increments of 4. Same for heat setting in the vehicle.
Staircases always approached with the left foot-unless approaching with the left foot would mean the last step on the staircase would be taken with the left foot-then it’s Ok to approach with the right foot.

RawnyWhen crossing a doorway, I always step on the threshold instead of stepping over it.

Oz_ShadowMy wife makes fun of me for putting ketchup on fried fish. I prefer going out the same door I came in. I struggle with taking days off. I had perfect attendance from 6th grade until I graduated.

I talk aloud to myself in figuring out problems.
I also don't like my sweet food touch my other foods, especially greasy one. So I make sure if I order french toast, they're on a separate plate from my eggs and bacon.
I also ask for new utensils when switching from my bacon and eggs to my French toast.
I don't like to touch my food with my hands. I am adept at shelling shrimp and eating spare ribs without touching them or leaving any meat on the bone.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

BassamaticThe older I get the more OCD I get. My sock, underwear and T shirt Dresser are always organized and neatly folded. My workshop is clean and tidy and the tool chests are organized. My truck is pretty much always clean, inside and out.
I never used to be like this.

preten2bGot to have coffee with eggs, or sweets. Must have a coke with pizza, burger, or fries. Somethings are just made to be together.

Patrick-SP2022I agree with lots of these.
Some standout items.
7 or more belt loops.
Toilet paper over the front.
Shoe alignment.
Left sock, right sock, left shoe, right shoe.

There is actually a good reason for that. When carrying guns, the narrower span between the loops gives better support for the weight of the gun.

Jbb45I share some of the ones already stated. Another is that for about 8 years I picked up every coin I came across and tracked by heads up or tails up. Started when my kids said they would only pick them up if heads up as tails up would be bad mojo. After the 8 years I had about $36.xx worth, and found there to be no significant difference by coin (1,5,10,25,50,$1,$2 (some time in Canada)) whether heads up or down. I still pick them all up but stopped tracking the results.

TBHOther than being anal, like mowing five acres of my meadow and spotting one blade of grass driving me insane, my only quirks that I know of are food related.
I absolutely love quality skin on hotdogs pan fried for breakfast with pancakes or French toast and real maple syrup. Also English muffins loaded with butter dipped in oatmeal sweetened with brown sugar or maple syrup, nothing better! Childhood memories.
I also don’t like to eat just one thing for a meal. Even eating mostly protein I’ll have three or four. Steak, chicken wings, deviled eggs, or chicken thighs, sausage, bacon wrapped jalapeño. Rotating one bite at a time…..

OKCGeneI never (almost) let my gas tank get below 1/2.
When it gets to 5/8ths level I am looking for a good place to fill up.

M'headSigI judge a restaurant on whether or not they replace the silverware after the appetizer course. If they don’t, I immediately downgrade.
