The Quirk Game
 

We all have our quirks, but are they really quirks if other people share them? I'll start with one of mine, and then you tell me if you share that quirk before posting one of your own to continue the game. Here goes:

I won't be a donor on my driver's license. I know that it saves lives, but I want to go out of the world the same way I came in. Plus, it creeps the hell out of me.

Yup, I agree. My family already knows I'll donate, but I've heard horror stories of doctors not trying as hard to save an organ donor so I won't put it on my licence.

I have to do things even. If I tap my left leg with my left hand, I have to do the same with my right. :D

Oddly yes, My family call's me OCD because of it, it just feels better if I do it, plus I do other things like we have two light switches, I want the 'main' light switch to follow the normal pattern; up for on down for off.

I never know how to start a conversation, keep it going, or if it's ending. I'm pretty awkward on the phone because I don't know when to talk XD

Yes, I'm the same. I do that all the time, and I think other people think that I'm going to start the conversation, but I never know what to say, so I leave it for them to do, and we end up sitting in silence

If I'm eating a meal (mashed potato, beans, carrots, sausages), then I can't mix the foods. They have to be separate, and I won't eat them if they're mashed together in the one mouthful.

I used to be like this, but I've gotten slightly better with it.

I always seem to start things with my right side. For example, putting on my mascara, I do the right eye first; or walking down stairs, I go down with my right leg first.

No. I'm right-handed but left-sided, oddly enough.

I don't like dancing. It's not that I'm a horrific dancer- I just don't think that it's fun at all.

Eh, sort of. My dancing mainly consists of jumping around and twirling randomly. :P

When I'm upset, I eat my way back to happiness.

nah.. I hm I rarely get upset and when I do I just frown for sometime and that it

sometimes I wake up brush my teeth again and then go back to sleep lol

I do the light switch thing

I sometimes HAVE TO mash my food up unlike some of you

I HAVE TO wash my face in the morning first thing (after toilet use LOL)

Not necessarily first thing, but I do have to wash my face in the morning before I get prettied up.

I hate pencils. Writing with a pencil makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I do everything in pen unless I lose points for it.

Not really. I'm left handed so pen smears really easily for me. Although I hate how unsharpened pencil looks all smudgy.

I'm a list maniac. I make lists for everything I can think of and sometimes just because I'm bored.

Nope, I never make a list unless it is for groceries.

I have to check to make sure both doors to the house are locked and the oven and burners on the stove are all off before I can even consider going to bed.

No.

I have to turn on the lights in my bedroom and check in the closet to be sure some murderer isn't hiding in there before I go to bed. I can't just stumble into a dark room and fall into bed- I get all antsy about not knowing what's in my room if I do.

Yeah

I organise my M & M's (i know i'm weird)

I organize my m&ms too

Daylight makes me tired.

Hmmm, not really. Sounds like you're part feline (nocturnal)

I cannot fall asleep in bed unless I read some of the book I'm reading at the moment. I've tried but I just end up turning the light back on, getting my book and reading.

False.

I can't find anything but MTS to do all day..

I have plenty of things to do, I just don't do them XD

I cannot drink coffee unless theres a teaspoon in the mug.

False...

I cannot drink coffee without milk, sugar, and Italian Creme flavoring.

False. I drink my coffee black. Milk makes me feel sick.

When I'm nervous I crack my knuckles.

True, sometimes.

When I think of <person I <3> I get butterflies.

No not really.

I try not to wear the same thing too often because I think people will notice.

False. I rarely change. Changing into PJs is so overrated.

I wear comfy yet at least black pertaining clothes.

I do as well.

I'm obsessive about pedicures. I give myself one twice a month.

No.

I likez black. ^_^

Ugh! It creeps me out as well but I figure, oh why the hell not? I'll be dead. Just don't take out my eyeballs lol.

I cover my head with my sheets at night in fear that something will crawl into my ear at night while I'm asleep. I blame my sister who once tickled my ear with a feather and I almost had a shit fit.

yep...

I like iced honey buns.

OMG...I totally do that too! Except I have to cover my ear with my hair (I sleep on my side) and I think it will keep bugs from crawling into my ear.

no, strange. I don't cover my ears and EVERYTHING'S fine.

I dance in the bathroom. (blushes)

I do that. And sing badly.

I compulsively put lip balm on every 10 minutes.

Also do that.

I'm ALWAYS looking at my cell phone just to check the hours. Every 5 min or so.

Eeek. I cover my ear with my hair too, but I had a real experience with something in my ear.
I woke up and heard something. It was like...THE weirdest sensation I've ever felt. Something was moving inside my ear. I freaked out, figuring a HUGE spider was in there and ran to my mommy. haha. She stuck my head under the faucet [she was sure I was just imaging things] and low and behold, a tiny black ant got washed into the tub.

I wore cotton balls for months.

But no, I don't check my cell phone. I hardly ever use it. ha. I'm a bad teenager =[

I MUST get into bed from the right side or else I can't sleep.

False.

I HAVE TO sleep on my stomach.

I have to lie on my stomach before I go to sleep or I find it hard to sleep, but I don't sleep on my stomach.

I can't sleep with my hair out.

Eh, depends on the night. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

I get words stuck in my head like most people get music stuck in their heads. Last time this happened the word was "superfluous".

Sometimes.


I can't get a song out of my head and have to listen to it about once or twice an hour.

Usually, but oddly enough not now.

I'm quite shy in social settings, but I have no stage fright at all. In fact, I love performing.

I have a terrible stage fright xD

When I'm listening to Enter Sandman by Metallica in bed, I usually fall asleep instantly.

*Listens to Enter the sandman on Youtube* - Nah, I probably wouldn't.

I have to have everything at a right angle, like my room can be impossibly messy but everything has to be lined up in piles on the floor. :P

Nope.

I don't wear anything but pants, and those are always black. <3

Yes to the pants. Most are black some are not.

I don't like to wear my hair (which is shoulder length) up or away from my face when I am out in public

Me either...

I loooove wearing black shirt/grey vest combos. *squeal*

I must have at least 10 black tops/shirts. I don't own any vests cuz they don't look good on me

I have a lot of books and they have to be organized in my bookcase shelves from biggest to smallest or it drives me up the wall.

no...

I get sad when something wierd or exciting happens.

nope..
i have to go to sleep with the telly on but lights off.....

No...

I can't go to sleep until I'm utterly exhausted.

Me too.

I have to wear earrings everyday or else I feel like something's missing

My ears aren't pierced, but I'm the same with bracelets.

I can't stand people touching my neck, or seeing other people touch their own neck. It freaks me out and makes me feel sick.

hmmm...interesting quirk

For me its that I can't stand seeing people brushing their teeth or holding a toothbrush in their mouth. I'm retching just thinking about it.
Altho I'm not bothered by seeing myself brush my teeth.

Not really.

I can't stand scraping sounds. It bugs my teeth's nerves.

I'm the same with seeing people scratching, zauberlinda. I can't stand seeing or hearing someone scratch themselves anywhere.

I just feel sick from scraping noises in general.

The first thing I do when I get up every morning has to be to wash my face.

EDIT: Too late. And yes, I wash my face as soon as I get up.

I'm easily bored by a song. More often than not, I listen to half a song, get bored, and flip to the next track. People who ride in the car while I'm driving hate it because I'm always messing with the stereo .

I'm the same! When I'm on the computer listening to music, my dad gets so annoyed if he's in the same room because I constantly change the song.

If I know the lyrics to a song, I always start singing quietly to it.

No. I'm not really a musical person- I don't sing anywhere but the shower and I don't like to dance.

I always read the last paragraph of a book before I start it. I love spoilers! For me, it's more fun to guess how the plot will weave its way toward the ending while I read than read blindly miss the subtle hints as to its direction.

Not me...a friend of mine does that. I like to be surprised.

I have to own my books. Meaning I don't like to borrow them. I've done that and then when I go to look for "that great book" in my home library to re-read it I can't find it!

Absolutely. I like to be able to pull it out again at a moment's notice if I feel like re-reading.

I have to stand with my back to the shower spray. I never stand with my front to it because I hate being sprayed in the face.

Not me..I do, however, have to, have to, have to have my hair up in a clip while I'm showering and then take it out to wash my hair (of course).

No, I don't do that.

I'm afraid to death of washing my hair because of my earrings. But I get to change them in a week or two...:\

My ears were pierced when I was little so I don't have to deal with that

I am such a tomboy at times, and I like when people tell me this.

Me too.

I only smoke my own cigarettes and with my beloved cigarette holder, 'Audrey Hepburn-style'

I don't smoke. Never have, never will.

I love to write essays. My classmates bemoan any such assignment, but I view it as a huge treat. I'd rather take an essay test than a multiple choice test.

Agreed! According to all my marks, I'm a very skilled essay writer (nothing below 95% on any essay I've written).

I hate talking on the phone. I'll organise things by email, texting, or in person, but I hate phonecalls. I never know what to say.

Yeah I'm like that too sometimes. Because some people can't hear and it annoys me when I repeat myself.

I like the name Emma.

Nope, I like "weird"/unusual names. Emma is too common and in portuguese, 'ema' is an animal:



To watch a DVD I must turn off the lights, make some popcorn and milkshake and get a cozy blanket.

That birdy looks strangely cute too me. I wanna pet it

Really? I'm the exact opposite- I abhor organizing things through texting or e-mail. I always feel like written plans aren't nearly as set in stone, not to mention that it's wildly inefficient. I'm not a huge conversationalist on the phone, though- beyond "how are you," I keep to the point, make the plans, and say goodbye.

EDIT: I've been too late all day. Ix-nay on the milkshake, but I definitely need the lights out (it's more movie theater-esque, that way ), and I always end up getting popcorn at some point during the movie.

I wear the same large stud diamond earrings every day. I hate long earrings.

Gosh I hate long earrings as well. When they dangle I want to pull them off people's ears. (Yes I am a psycho bitch).

I looooooooooooooooove Chad Michael Murray. SAY YES DAMMIT!!

Of course! But that's not a quirk. haha

I loathe full places. I can't stand going to a place that is very full of peope.

Yeah, I don't like being around many people. In fact, I tend to prefer being left alone in general.

I have a series of positions I must lie in before I get to sleep every night.

I wouldn't call it a series of positions, but I'm pretty boring, in that respect- I never sleep in any position other than my right side, and despite being a very light sleeper, I always wake up in the same position in which I fell asleep.

I absolutely have to have the blankets pulled above my neck and partway over my face to fall asleep. I don't care if it's sweltering hot- I like to burrow in.

You got me. Sometimes I pull the cover all the way over my head. But my dog always pulls them back off. I guess he thinks I'll suffocate or something.

I love total darkness at night when I'm going to sleep. (This is a new habit of mine, my nightlight is still in my closet just in case.)

yes I can't sleep if there's light in my room

Every detail of my clothes hair and face has to be done perfectly before I can put my foot outside the door

I am like that to some extent.

If my toe nail polish is chipped, even in the slightest way, it drives me crazy until I can repair it.

No...

I can't stand having something blocking even one little milimeter of screen or what I'm looking at.

Not really.

The only time my fingernails and toenails aren't polished is the few minutes in between taking off the old polish and putting on the new. I HAVE to have polished nails (no chipping, either), and I never paint them anything but fire-engine red.

No.

I usually let my black nail polish chip. I usually only wear black nail polish. ^.^

no nail polish for me.

I always clip my hair with the same clip, though I have like 100 of them.

Hmm, I don't really put clips in my hair. I don't know if I ever put clips in my hair.

I always seem to pick at my fingers. it seems like I stop doing it for awhile then I start doing it again after a whole year or even months.

Not really...

I have a compulsion for making lists. I have to make lists for everything, or I'll not remember. (this includes writing in my hand things I must remember)

I hate making lists. I generally just go with what needs to be done, purely by what I remember.

I'm a compulsive fiddler. I'm always playing with something or tapping or finding something to do with my hands.

Kind of, I do it when I'm nervous about something.

I can never leave the door of my wardrobe open if I'm going to bed or going out of my room. I don't really know why...

Me too! All doors have to be closed in my room, otherwise I can't fall asleep.

I used to bite my nails when I was a kid (I'm not sure this is the right expression, but you got the idea)

Eeew, never!

I have an everything on my iPod from jazz to rock to electronic to indie to opera. I'll listen to almost anything that's musically interesting.

nope. mines mostly R&B, hip-hop, pop, rap with a smidge some blues/country.

i never leave the house without my ipod.

Sometimes but not often.

I think Football is a dangerous sport.

nope. far more worse. like boxing and fighting.....or racing, you can topple over yano!

i like clicking my back..

Clicking your back? What the eff? You mean clicking your browsers backspace button or like cracking your back?

Cracking my back... but in england we say clicking :P

ahhh, I see. Yeah I do that sometimes.

I think Ferret Fox's are cute.

uhm. i duno what they are, and atm i'm to lazy to google search.

i drink coca-cola out of the big bottles, when my mum says to use a glass.

Me too! But not out of the big ones, just the small ones.

I always forget to turn off the lights when I leave the room/house, even though I know the world is running out of water

naaa.
i hate being alone for a long amout of time..

I sort of like being alone.

when I put up new posters on my wall, the new ones can't cover the faces of the people in the old ones, if you get what I mean.

dont have posters..
i hate going out without a necklace.

Nope, I don't usually wear jewellery.

I always count things out in fives - like it has to be five seconds before I open the microwave when something's ready or if I have to scratch my neck, I'll do it five times. I think it's one of my weirder quirks.

No.

I can crack just about every part of my body, save my back. Fingers, toes, knees, neck, jaw, ankles, and shoulder.

I have a habit of cracking the left side of my jaw.

I cannot stand it when people say orientated instead of oriented.

Yesss!!

I'm a very hot-headed person, so I'm easy to irritate and sometimes I hate it! But I can't help it.

I'm the exact opposite. My family jokes that, while most children inherit the temper of one of their parents, I didn't even get a temper gene. It's very, very hard to provoke me. I'm a very calm, rational person, and I always act with my head, never my heart. It's not always a good thing.

I like to get as much natural light into a room as possible for as long as possible. I won't turn the lamps on until it's dark enough that they become absolutely necessary.

I've been like that since I was a kid. It used to depress me when my mom would turn the lamps on in the living room in the morning before school if it was the least little bit dark out.

It irritates me to see people type with their index fingers only
