Peculiarities!

[Shortie]

I've just remembered my peculiarities! Gosh, should I admit them?

I don't like being touched by feet, socked or not. If OH purposely rubs them on me to wind me up, it can actually make me quite violent

Also, I hate, hate, HATE hearing other people eat.

Oh and the guy behind me at work nearly gets his feet wrapped in a towel every day as he has spells of clicking his shoes on the base of the chair

[nick the grief]

I guess it's cos your small & closer to them Shortie

[dexterdoglancashire]

Hi Shortie! my OH always tells his dad off for "crunching" his food! - even it its yogurt! poor Douglas! (my father in law!) but actually, he can crunch yogurt! DDL

[nick the grief]

It's probably just arthritis in his jaw DDL

[dexterdoglancashire]

No, bless him! actually he's done this for, erm, 23 years married, 3 years dating.....erm 26 years! It's only when OH mentions it that we notice! DDL

[Earthbabe]

Oh dear!

On the talking to things line, I talk to pretty much anything, plants, bees, animals, inanimate objects like the breadmaker and food processor and the jug washer at work, etc.

Ok so I'm a little nuts but in a funny way it probably keeps me sane.

[Snadger]

Do you need the exercise Snadger? DDL

Naaah! Just feel guity about using car all the time!

[Dave]

I can't pass a field of sheep without saying "baaaaa" to them...

Now that is funny

My son, 5 in a fortnight, says things like, "hello worm, hello woodlouse, hello baby ladybird".

[Mrs Dobby]

Have to say I do the 'Mint Sauce' thing to sheeps too!

As to peculiarities for myself, I love walking in the woods, especially at twilight, its nice just to sit down and spend some quiet time with nature all around and nothing but natural sounds. I also love moongazing, she is soo beautiful to behold!

Mr Dobby recons I'm also a little too obsessed with making sure my hair is tidy, I hate having it a mess, and he also says I am completely bonkers about my MINI, have to admit I do wave at every other MINI driver, and get a big grin when they wave or smile back! Sad really but there you go!

Cant think of anything else that stands out really, I'm happy to be a bit bonkers, so some of the things I do others would probably consider peculiar, but I havent a clue as to what they would be!

An ex-boyfriend had a VW Camper van - we'd wave or flash lights at other VW camper van's. It's like a club you all belong to and so you wave to say hi.

[monkeybum]

My OH grinds his teeth in his sleep and it drives me nuts....sounds like wood splintering. I hate squint pictures and have to straighten them even if they are in my doctors surgery...that drives my OH mad. Oh and everything has to be symmetrical in my house, ornaments, candles pictures etc. I also have Coeliacs and so spend hours reading food labels but can't take food from the front of the shelf either. Oh dear I have just read this back and decided maybe I need therapy!

It's just like that with motorbikes too.

I also spend ages reading the food labels - my daughter also has Coeliac disease but you do get some funny looks - as though you're being too fussy!

OK so - I have another one! I have a 1964 MG Midget called Henry - and we wave to other MG drivers too! DDL
