A weird fact about yourself

I used to line my many bottle of cologne up from tallest and largest to smallest and shortest on the shelf in the bathroom. From right to left cause I'm a lefty and could reach up and grab the biggest one on the right over the others without knocking them around. Solved that quirk by getting married and cutting down to 2 bottles. Back in that day never had less than seven to choose from. You know. Different occasions.

I’m moving when I finish this contract and get back to Nashville, I’ll most likely have to cut down my collection as well. I’ve got somewhere in the neighborhood of 140 bottles.

I can’t stand having any length on my fingernails or toenails. I cut mine probably twice a week. I also always wear socks, even to bed. The feeling of having dry feet or hands is repulsive to me. It’s so bad that I rarely use soap when I wash my hands because it makes them rough and dry. I almost always use hand sanitizer.

If I get close to the bottom of a bag of cereal to the point where there’s not enough for a full bowl, I’ll eat it dry. Usually like a snack with my fingers. I’ve done that since I was a little kid. And I guess on the flip side of that, if I get close to the bottom of a bag of chips to where it’s mostly crumbs, I’ll pour it in a bowl, mix in some dip, and eat it with a spoon.

I guess the bigger quirk on display there is that I absolutely hate wasting food lol

Not really. I lived without a microwave until I started keeping house with my wife. Even then, I would not use it. Some years later, I finally made use of the contraption. To this day, I use it sparingly.

Yeah I didn’t use it a ton before it died. Even for common uses like popcorn. I prefer stovetop popcorn and it’s only takes a few minutes longer.

I feel much better now at only having 7 or 8.

I make my bed every day even in hotel rooms, the mornings I have to leave early and the wife is still in bed I make my side the best I can. I also can't stand bathroom, closet, pantry, bedroom doors that are not fully closed.

I clean up my table when eating out. All the utensils, napkins and any crumbs or food around my plate get stacked in the plate and set on the edge for the wait staff.

Not me, butt had a friend in college that could control his dreams. he could decide in his sleep the directions he wanted his dreams to go. God's honest truth. (My eventual roommate was his roommate. He came back from Guard one Sunday to the dorm room only to find Mel asleep with bleached blonde hair. He rolled over and looked at Mike with the white of his eyes and said he wasn't asleep. Mike eased back out the door and ran down the hall screaming. The next day Mike became my roommate).

If I have a recurring dream I can control it a bit. There are some I have had sporadically for years so I know exactly how they go, but now i can influence them.

I also generally remember my dreams when i wake up. Some i remember all day. There is one i had 10 years ago i could probably describe completely.

When I wake up in the morning I generally know what time it is. Even with out an alarm or scheduled event.

Like if a dream wakes me I can generally tell it's a little after 3 or whatever. And sure enough it will be 3:10. I am good enough to consider being within 30 minutes a miss.

Learned to drive on manual transmissions so I thought everyone held the steering wheel with their left hand.

I drove a Toyota for 17 years that had a 5 speed shift pattern.
Hated it when I was stopped on a very steep grade going up hill.

I do that when eating out. I never thought it was weird, just not being a messy *******

Today is the anniversary of my first car wreck, many moons ago when I was a teenager. T-boned a police car. No joke, although it is funny.

Got my first speeding ticket when I was 17, going to my boyfriend's shoe store to use his employee discount. Stupid shoes cost me four times what they should have.

Didn't get another speeding until 35 years later. In ALA FREAKING BAMA! Dammit!

Along those same lines, I don't need an alarm clock. Doesn't matter where I am; west coast, east coast, Europe, wherever. We decide what time we want to get up, and I wake up 5 or 10 minutes before that. Only exceptions are maybe the first night after flying several time zones or the few times I've over-over-imbibed.

I know people who also possess this remarkable skill.
