Oh Dear!
id·i·o·syn·cra·sy n. pl. id·i·o·syn·cra·sies
A structural or behavioral characteristic peculiar to an individual or group.
Write down five of your own personal idiosyncracies. Then, if you wish, tag five people from your friendslist to do the same in their journals.
I got this from Moonskrye; Now understand, I take medicine for this very problem. No kidding...
1. Hand Washing-I can easily wash my hands every ten minutes or less without a single thought. I love animals. At one time, I could not pet them without washing my hands afterwards. Fortunatelly, I have conquerred this problem.
2. Unannounced Visits- I can't stand it. There is always something that needs straightening or cleaning. If I know in advance of someone coming to visit. I will break my neck trying to clean the house.
3. Locking Doors- Another problem that I have bettered. Before going to bed, I have had a tendancy of checking the door multiple times to make sure that it is locked.
4. Public Places- I'm not even gonna go into what I have to do in order to use a public restroom. That is, if it even passes my visual inspection. When entering any door in public, I'll either wait for someone else to open it and then catch it with my foot. Or, I will try to touch it where I think that it is less likely, that someone else has touched it. Such as reaching way up high to open it. When eating in a restaurant, I like to have my back to the wall. I observe each and every individual in there and each one that enters the building. The table must be extremely clean as well.
5. Sleeping- The covers must be straightened before I lay down to sleep. I need a loud and smooth running fan the year around. I will hear every creak in the house if I don't have a fan running which will in turn cause me to get up and check for intruders. Never wake me up abruptly unless you want to see me jump up and start running or in full battle mode. Also, I have to sleep naked. I have been since I was ten years old. Clothes will wake me up everytime I roll over.
Okay, this list goes on and on. And just think, my mother is by far, worse than I am. Fortunatelly my wife is a total opposite in this aspect and helps to balance me out.
