The pegs thing!!! So many people have a pegs issue. I kind of get it. I’m pedantic about how I hang my clothing…and quite enjoy the process.

Wow. Some of these are extreme, almost Tourette’s.
…and now when I see a car wavering in the SH tunnel with a man passed out at the wheel, I’ll know who to swear at!

Okay…I HAVE to have matching pegs. My palms sweat if I don’t see matching pegs. And I can’t just have pegs of one colour to make it easy. Oh and I have to colour coordinate the pegs with the garment. No, this doesn’t take long. I am very lucky I work from home and use laundry as therapeutic ‘unblocking’. I don’t enforce this upon my family members but it makes me a little… annoyed if they don’t do this. I’m not that bad that I will repeg BUT… my husband, once repegged clothes I had just hung out. We had had an argument.
…the strange thing is, after first seeing red about this…. I broke up laughing!!

Also have to exhale sharply every time I take the first drink out of a water bottle… for some reason I feel that if I don’t, I will inhale the pocket of air that was ‘trapped’ in the bottle before being sealed.

Gees. Maybe I’m a litle extreme too… I have other ‘quirks’ but I think I’ll stop now…

Oh dear, I’m getting neurotic ‘cos I DO’NT have any neuroses! I’ve racked my brains but can’t think of anything even slightly weird; can I please borrow someone elses?
Btw Sarah, love the way you look at life, its so refreshing1

I am a senior manager with an organisation, but each morning when i get to work, i have to rule up my A4 note book with read pen, along the top (two lines) and one along the margin… i go to meetings and people still laugh at me!! For some reason i have a minor panic attach if my book is not ruled and i have to write on the page without it. Sometimes if i have a busy week ahead, i will spend 30 mins rulling up the pages for the week….. very sad i know!!

It is really great to hear about all the quirky behaviours that people have!

I find all my strange habits to be really time consuming, like I can only go to bed if the bed is make first – I can’t get in if the sheets are wrinkled.

I dread food shopping because if I make a mistake when I’m writing the shopping list (or if my writing isn’t neat enough), I have to start the list all over again on a fresh piece of paper.

Using public toilets is a nightmare, I cannot touch the doors, locks taps without a tissue, and after the hands are thoroughly dry, I find myself waiting for someone to leave before me, so I can slip out behind them without touching the door.

On another note, Sarah, are you glad FebFast is over? I took part in it with my boyfriend, and now have a weird guilty feeling about going back to enjoying alcohol.

I love reading about the weird things other people do, it makes me feel slightly better.

I have to check things SO many times to reassure myself. Plus much rather get some place an hour early than 10 mins late!
