Stupid Quirks?

We all have our dumb little things we do that to others would seem weird or annoying. I can't think of anything major I do, but there are some little quirks I have done since I can remember. For one, I microwave my meals after they are cooked. It does not matter if it came right out of the oven, once I make my dinner or anything hot i still put it in the microwave till it has steam coming, ya that is weird i guess, lol. I don't know if this is a quirk, but when I watch sports and I am alone I sit or lay on the floor instead of the chair, I have no idea why, it's like a superstition or something. Ok these are not that good, but I wanted to hear some of your little quirks, we wont' laugh, haha.

[dominosarah]

I hate water spots on my stainless steel sink so go behind anyone who messes around the sink.  Is that a quirk or OCD??  LOL

[gizzy32]

Nothing worse than water in a sink huh, lol. I think that is a bit of both OCD and quirk, haha. At least you are clean:)

[dominosarah]

Oh those water spots just bug the he!! out of me.  There is no reason to go and turn the water on full force and then put the curvy part of a spoon under the water!!!!!  Now i have to go and look at my sink!!!!!!!

[HelpinUtah]

I have to rewash dishes after my mother washes them.  I just don't think she does such a great job, but I don't want her to feel bad so I wait until she is in her room!  LOL!!! I'm a huge germaphobe!  It's been interesting having my brother and family here - I'm used to everything being picked up and in it's place and my apartment looks like a bomb was let loose in it right now!  I'm having to calm myself down!  LOL!!!  I think I have a little OCD.  I also have to check and make sure the door is really locked after I lock it when I leave for work!  UGH!!!!  I'm sure there are other quirks!

Oh wait, here's one.  When I'm sleeping I raise my arm in the air and "chill" it.  In case you don't know what that means is; I gently take my nails and move them up and down my arm.  My father used to do that to me when I was a little girl and it always relaxed me.  Hubby said when we first got married, I did this on our wedding night!  How embarrassing!  LOL!!!!  

Hugs,
Janet

i sometimes set the alarm clock for 2 a.m. so I dont miss the one or two nights a week that Three's Company is on Tvland reruns, lol.  Seriously, I do. Most of the time I wake up for a few hours every night anyways, so i figure i may as well control what time it is on those nights that show is scheduled so i can see it. I just loved John Ritter!

Lets see.....what else? (and gizzy shut up, im sure youre smirking-- thinking I certainly must be able to whomp off a list a mile long in the blink of an eye cuz Im just soooo quirky, lol)   umm... i like to eat weird things like pickled herring in horseradish sauce and spanish rice sandwhiches... umm....Im also OCD like some of you and have to check and recheck the oven/stove to make sure the gas is not on, and i also recheck door locks at night...  ...and i do most things backwards or the long way- this applies to everything in life lol   Thats all i can think of for now..

[refusingbondage]

I dont normally post on the social side but.. this is funny!.. I definitely have some quirks/OCD...every bed in the house MUST be made.. it doesnt matter if its the weekend.. it doesnt matter if your sick, or late or have no time.. when you wake up the first thing you do is make the bed..I am like an army seargent in the morning.. I H-A-T-E an unmade bed and if I visit friends house etc and see an unmade bed, I will make it.. definate OCD there..
One of my most annoying habits (or so Im told) is I only drink small amounts of liquid at a time.. like water, or juice or soda.. I pour half glasses of juice, take one small sip and leave it on the counter.. then a few mins later, I will do the same thing with another glass, can of soda or bottle of water..when I am home all day, like on the weekends, there can literally be 6 or 7 FULL cans of sode on the counter, cause I open one take a sip and then forget about it.. then open another take a sip, forget about it...... LOL.. theres so many more.. but right now I am thirsty and going for a bottle of water..  lol :)

[gizzy32]

OMG I am surrounded by freaks, LOL. Just kidding, i kept a few of my quirks out. Ty for the laughs, haha

[HelpinUtah]

If I visit someone's home I've never been too and the place doesn't look tidy and they offer me a drink I always say no even if I'm thirsty.  I just can't bring myself to drink out of their glasses.  Now, if they offer me a bottled water - I'm fine!  LOL!!!!

[flmagi]

Although I've gotten better about it, in the past few years.....I straighten crooked pictures........in doctors offices, clients houses, friends houses etc. I usually do it when no one is looking. Mary tells me not to do it in clients homes, but I will if she and them aren't looking. Also I make sure that the screws on switch plates are screwed in so the line is vertical....I don't go around and check them if there already there, just if I'm putting the screw in.
I pluck the bread off a sandwich, burger, hot dog etc until there's just enough bread under my fingers to hold the sandwich...I don't do this all the time, but I do it a lot.
And I usually buy 2 of everything I buy at the grocery store.
I rip the whole tops off ciggarette packs.
There's probably a lot of other weird **** I do, but I live alone, so who knows.

[Sunnyd210]

Quirks ohhhh geez I have plenty of them. Lets see just like Sara is with her sink I am with my floors. I HATE a dirty floor I would vaccumm all day if I could. Everything else can be a disaster I still have my xmas stuff up for petes sake but as long as the floors are clean Im happy LOL. I used to be really bad with cleaning but with 4 kids and 2 dogs Ive learned to choose my battles in life. I will only use Tide laundry detergent and I have to have the fabric softner and sheets to match. When anyone tries to buy cheap laundry detergent in my house I throw a fit so now Im the only one who buys it LOL.

[Sunnyd210]

Mojo- OMG thats toooo friggin funny

[bobby139]

dang i have many lmao trying to think what drives the kids crazy lol oh ok...in summer with our grass, its hard to grow grass anyway here in dessert and i hate crab grass, i will sit outside all day with a knife and dig out each and every piece of crab grass there is and cant stand it if there is a flower in flower gardens that r starting to wilt i pick those right away lol..cant stand footprints in the carpet i will vacume 3 to 4 times a day..ok can go on and on lmao but thats enouph to make me sound like a idiot. shut up gizz dont want to hear about it!! hehe

[Sunnyd210]

Ohhh Bobby thats funny I do the same thing with the cloves that grow in my grass. And I hate Vines like Ivy and wisteria. My neighbor has wisteria in his yard and I told him if 1 little piece grows over the fence he will find me in his yard with a chain saw cutting it down. The wisteria at work drives me out of my mind whenever Im outside smoking Im chopping it down!!!

[bobby139]

lmao i have vines in my yard but i do hate when one starts growing the wrong way, im always twisting them togather so one isnt sticking out of place...oh i also have 6 pillows on each side of me in bed the kids make fun of me they say they can never find me hid out in my bed lol

[Sunnyd210]

No u dont understand these are NOT just vines they are like trees that grow along the ground and up other trees its like something out of a science fiction movie lol!!

[dominosarah]

All my shades have to be the same length when either up or down.  I see people who have their shades at all different lengths and it drives me nuts.  I want to go into their house, fix them and leave!!!!!

Sunny.....the Christmas decorations????  I will come over and take those down for you!!!!

[troubleinohio]

LOL Im lovin all this quirky stuff! and btw I just finally took the rest of my xmas stuff down yesterday !! I had 95% of it down, but a few things up high on shelves and the window cling on thingy majigs! Finally its all down and i can put Easter stuff up now, haha.   as for crooked pictures- that drives me nuts too, but for some reason I cant ever fix them right. I could stand there for 6 hours adjusting a frame on the wall and the dammn thing will still be crooked LOL

magi i had to laugh at the sandwhich thing. I eat mine weird too. Mine always looks like it was chewed on by a woodchipper. You'd think I had chainsaws swingin' around in my mouth instead of teeth- the erratic patterns I form in a bun or sandwich annoy some people around me sometimes lol. I also always leave my favorite part of the sandwich for the last bite as "dessert" - like i will shove all the tomato and onion over to one side and save it for that last good bite. i HATE if my last bite is just plain bun and meat!!!  

[dominosarah]

chainsaws swinging in your mouth!!!!!!  LMAO

[Jacqui805]

Good lord Giz, where do I start?!  Well, I have this thing with a part of the body called the tragus.  It is the cartilage that sticks up on your ear, closest to your face.  I cannot STAND to have mine touched, and I cannot stand it if someone touches THEIRS!  I cannot look.  If someone DOES touch theirs, and I DO happen to see it, I have to touch mine, but BEHIND it, as if to cancel it out, LOL....YES, I DO know it's nuts.  

If I have an itch on one side of my body, say my right leg....then after scratching IT, I have to scratch the same spot on the OPPOSITE side of my body....not all the time, but alot of the time, lol......um yeah, I'm a little OCD.

[NautyOne]

I can't touch cotton balls.......if I do I feel an electric shock go through my body....I can't take them out of bottle.....use tweezers and when I do its an instant gag reflex??

When i cook, I have to have the kitchen completely clean before I can eat.

I have to sleep with the tv on.  I can still see the light in the dark when I close my eyes so I have to turn the brightness all the way down...(black screen) and have to turn the volume all the way down.  Just knowing its on is the only way I can sleep.

Utah, I do the same thing......I call it my tickle scratch.......I will run my fingertips along my arms, neck, and sometimes forehead........then I have to scratch.....ahhh it feels soo good.

When I am holding a cat I have to pick off the shedding claws......they don't like it, but I have to do it.

I have a thing about fleas......I will sit for hours and pick fleas off an animal and put them in a glass of water then flush them.......oh, one time without thinking .....I drank the glass of fleas by accident......Oiy.

too many more to go into.

Nauty............

[allaboutmary]

Ewwwww.....Nauty...lol
Ok, I don't think I have any real quirks. (which is the sign of a truly sick person)lol. Magi will tell you I have OCD, but I think I'm normal.
My kitchen must be spotless before I leave the house in the morning. I have this weird thing that after 6 at night I trash the kitchen. I leave things on the counters that should go in the garbage, if I take something out of the cabinets I leave it on the counter instead of putting it back. (mind you this is only after 6) ..I've been doing this ever since I can remember.  I'm thinking the reason is .......so I have a lot to clean up in the morning.  If I woke up and my kitchen was clean, I would probably freak out and not know what to do. I must clean.....I must clean......I must clean something in the morning.
I also don't like other people washing my dishes or doing my laundry.  They never do it right.
Ok, I'm gonna make an appt. with a therapist.

[troubleinohio]

ok now i am REALLY  ROFLMAO here reading more of these!! omg you guys are KILLING me this morning!!

Jacqui you FREAK, lmao!! (i dont have a thing with ears but i DO with toenails. I HATE to clip my own nails or anyone elses for that matter. But when I do my own i just about pass out every time! I always have this fear Im going to take  a chunk of toe off with it, plus just the feeling of having my nail touched by something drives me NUTS. i think i must have been tortured in a past life or something LOL)

NAUTY- omg where do i even start with you???hahahha  I have never in my life heard such a thing about cotton balls and tweezers LOL
I am however with ya on having to have the TV on in order to sleep!! my tv is never off!
and, one more thing- I am also a closet flea picker, lmao! I will sit there like a fricken CHIMP in the jungle and pull bugs off animals, haha Did you see me on National Geographic Channel??  

PS thats nasty, you drank your cup of fleas!!! you better get checked for tapeworms, seriously! Thats how animals catch them sometimes.

[LIZZIE LOU]

you guys are "weird"...lolol.

first one is...my clothes have to hang in my closet... according to color.  they're all in groups of blacks, blues, pinks, whites, etc.  even my bluejeans are hanging according to when i wear them...like weekenders (comfy and baggy), riding my horse jeans, going out jeans, longer jeans for heels and shorter jeans for flats.

second one is...i will go to my friend's houses and "redecorate" it.  i cannot stop myself from doing this.  it drives me NUTS and i have to move things around to where it will look better.

last one...i have to have a floor fan going when i sleep.  it's for the "noise" only...the stronger and louder the noise, the better.  i take "my fan" with me everywhere i go and if i cant...i just buy another one when i get to wherever i'm going and then leave it behind.

[gizzy32]

WOW, we are freaks, lol.  Two things jumped out at me also. Jacqui I hate having my ears touched, i did not know that was called tragus, it just give me the willies.

And Lizzie although I don't use a fan in the winter, I use it the rest of the year and that noise helps me fall asleep too, i don't know why, it's soothing i guess.

After hearing some of this stuff, i need to delete some friends now, lol. JK:)

[122 Tactical Fighter Group]

I knew that you had "the right stuff" in you to make it through a simple set of survival instructions!!   You already have a very important one down quite well - - NEVER waste protein .... even if ya gotta drink a flea once in awhile!  

[Sunnyd210]

OMG Gizzz I HAVE to sleep with noise I cant sleep without it. And Nauty I have the same exact thing but with paper I CANNOT touch paper with wet hands. Paper towels are OK but not anything else it KILLS me to watch people lick there fingers and turn pages of newspapers and magazines OMG worse than nails on a chauk board!!!

[troubleinohio]

sunny- i just went to the store a lil bit ago...the cashier LICKED the dollar bills when she was counting my change!! Im like ...uhh.....i dont want your nasty staph/strep saliva on my money what the helll? lol

[Sunnyd210]

OMG thats CRAZY!!! so full of germs money is the grossest EVER!!!!! I hate that ewwwwww

[NautyOne]

Trouble.......licking the bills.....oiy.....thats another reason we don't want to touch them, although she is probably immune at this point.  A closet flea picker, chimp in the jungle.......girl I was laughing so hard .....your description was priceless.......

Sunnyd......You know that sensation you get when you put something way too sour in your mouth for the first time........that's what happens to me when I even see a cotton ball....let alone touch it......dunno where that one comes from.

LizzieLou......I totally forgot about the fan......I can not, will not sleep without a fan & the TV at night.  I have to say yur clothes arrangement is a bit anal.....lol.

Ear People.......I read an article that people who have a problem with having their ears touched are wounded and insecure.....lol.  Hey!  I am just quoting the article.....

Eagle.......The flea drinking incident was pretty gross, and I'm not sure about the protein levels.....lol    ....it's tedious work, and  I was  delirious got lazy and put the glass where I would put my drink and Oiy !!........the cat probably loved it.....he was looking at me like Ha, take that biaach......lol.....

Anyone I missed?.......

[Sunnyd210]

Nauty- I used to do the same thing with the fleas lol now I use advantage hehehehe

[Beargizmo]

I used to sit in front of the TV saturday and sunday afternoons watching gunsmoke and Bonanza on TV Land..I still try not to miss any...

Now I'm hooked on stuff on TRU TV..particularly worlds dumbest...., speeders, COPS marathons, and Forensic files.

my honeydo list is growing

Jim

[NautyOne]

Ohhhhhhh   I love tru TV.........its one of my favorites ............lol.  They have some funny shows............I am a tru tv addict too..!!!!

Nauty......

[Beargizmo]

when I drive to work (which is rare these days) I have to take the exact same route home as I do going...if I divert from my normal route...just for a change...I have to take the exact same route home..makes it symmetrical I guess.  When I shave (which I rarely feel like doing) I have to shave in the shower.I have a nice little mirror pasted on the wall. (i noticed my son has the samething in his bathroom).I hate it when I stay in a hotel or friends/family's homes because I have to use the bathroom sink.  I always have to have a glass of water before I go to bed.

When I go see my doctor (which thankfully is a short drive) I'll not smoke just so he won't yell at me.  And I always shake hands with him and ask how his family is...and he always gives me a big hug when Ieave (he's been my doctor for 15 years).

TruTV....I love the beach ones, too...but Forensic Files...I've seen almost all of them, but I still watch them, sometimes til I fall asleep..I've got away from leaving the TV on, though my wife always does (we occasionally share separate sleeping quarters because..ahem..one of us supposedly snores..and my dog sleeps right by my side.

Jim

[newgirl2708]

lol..i just seen this post...
i have a million of them for sure. but the one that comes to mind right now is i have to..have to have, the house-kitchen, livingroom, bathroom and my room picked up/straightened up (not necessarily clean) but picked up. so if i get a knock on my door at 3 am from the President, I'm ready...yep, every night...every single stinkin' night..evvvvveeeerrrrryyyyyy night....
more to come...

[NautyOne]

I forgot about the glass of water by the bed......EVERY NIGHT.......that is and has always been an absolute must for as long as I can remember.........lol.  Dang, they keep coming .......but, I don't feel so bad cause I'm getting them from ya'll........:-))

Never concerned about a 3am. knock from the President, though........lol

Nauty............

[NautyOne]

Hahahahhahah.......Lmao !!  from what I hear about the water here, fleas would be the least of my worries......lol.  

[troubleinohio]

mojo- my mom is almost as bad about fire stuff. Im not sure she sniffs outlets but who knows she might when no one is looking. Ever since I can remember, she's always been super paranoid about things catching fire. SHe never EVER uses candles, either. SHe's afraid to use many electrical appliances too, lol.   GUess I know where my OCD issues came from huh?

[troubleinohio]

does anyone else hide their cigarrete packs or anything like that? I hide mine still. I used to do it because my ex wouldnt let me smoke and i hid it from him, but now all these months later since i left, I still hide them and my kids still have never seen me smoke (i go outside every single time and hide on the side of the house, lol.  ) is that wrong or weird?  Ive been hiding them for soooo many years.   I still remember the time about 20 years ago, I left in my Z-28 to the gas station and have a smoke because my husband didnt know I smoked at the time. Well i was puffing away on my cig as i was driving down the road and here comes my husband on his dirtbike out of the woods and comes up right next to the car to "race me". I panicked that he'd see the cig, so i threw it on the floor and tried to stomp it out. Well, back then I was a real pig and my car was a mess- had lots of burger wrappers and such in it. They caught fire at my feet...so there i was driving down the road, my FEET ON FIRE and Im trying to stamp it out and all the while smile and wave and look over at my husband trying to act normal, LOL.  WHat a nut i was.

[Beargizmo]

we don't smoke in the house....in the garage..everytime I put one out I have to check about 3 or 4 times to make sure it's out..I'll come in the house, open the door..look out, and repeat.


Jim

[NautyOne]

I did the same thing.  I never let my parents see me smoke, and it took 20 years for me to smoke in front of my mother.....my dad never saw me smoke and I started at 14 years old. I quit in December and I feel soo much better.  I say ....hide those smokes from the kids you are keeping the temptation away from them....even if they know you smoke.  I wish my parents had done that< and maybe i WOULDN'T HAVE TRIED IT........ITS A GOOD THING.....AWWW MY KEYBOARD IS GOING INSANE AGAIN !!

nAUTY.........

[HelpinUtah]

LOL!!! We are a weird bunch!  LOL!!! I also have to sleep with the TV on - it has to be turned way down and it's usually the Worship channel so I can listen to uplifting music to put me to sleep!  I'm sure there's more about me - I'm pretty weird as my hubby says!  But, he also says "weird is good."  LOL!!!

[NautyOne]

We are a bunch of goofs for sure........I love this thread.......too funny !!

Nauty

[flmagi]

I was just making lunch and realized another quirk. Cheese must always be on the mustard side and tomatoes on the mayo side of a sandwich, otherwise it doesn't taste right. And the mustard and/or mayo must be spread evenly to the very edge of the bread.

[troubleinohio]

hey gizzy- i got my alarm set tonight as a matter of fact, for 2 a.m. because Sat. nights are only time THree's Company is on TV Land anymore! So I'm all set to watch my beloved Jack Tripper from 2-4 a.m. , LOL  I even set my coffee maker too for that time so i can have a nice hot cup of coffee so i dont fall back asleep on accident and miss the show.  Yes, i realize they sell DVD's of the seasons but i havent bought one yet, lol. I really need to!  

[GoingToMakeIt]

To Trouble: ever heard of TIVO?
Nauty: fleas? Worms? If you feel bloated, get it checked out. Lmao
Jacqui: what can I say? I always knew nurses were weird.
Magi: you can make my sandwiches. Just don't straighten my pictures! That's my job.
Gizzy & SunnyD, I sleep with a fan too...there is hope for us.
Mojo: If someone comes over and sniffs my outlets...I'll know who it is.
LizzyLou: I miss you. Too funny about the shades.
Newgirl: please come over and pick up my house....please.
Sarah: I hate water spots too. My shower is always shiny. Kitchen sink, well I haven't trained the wife yet.
I hate to work in the kitchen if there are dishes not cleaned. I can't cook until it is cleaned up.
Bondage: drinking sodas is bondage.

Gizzy..great thread.

[NautyOne]

Magi, mustard, mayo can not touch the bread and the lettuce must cover the tomato ..say NO to soggy bread.......now we are getting anal........lol

[newgirl2708]

Opposite of weird...
I can't sleep with the t.v. on...if so...I have to watch...Radio, gotta sing along...So bedtime has to be cool, dark and quiet...shhhhhh....
Sandwiches and toast...has to have whatever spead all across the bread....corner to corner..
OOOO!!!! I just thought of something!!!!
If I see two people whispering to each other...I have to know....even if they're complete strangers, in a grocery store, at church, at work...I don't care...I don't even care what it is about...I just need to know..and...I won't tell anyone either. Once I know, I throw it away..I used to be really bad about it, I've grown really...but still the urge is there..
Still coming up with 'em...Back with more later..

On my way GTMI...my house is done..

[troubleinohio]

well im madder than a wet hen! i set my alarm for 2 PM instead of a.m. and i missed the shows last night!!!!! Now i gotta wait a whole 'nother week!!!!! dammn it alllll, LOL, and YES i have heard of those new fancy schmancy things called TIVO and DVR's but dont' own such complicated wizardry gadgets, LOL. I still have a vcr from the 80's for god sakes!  I do have a dvd player (the Playstation) so i can watch movies on disc, but cant record them.  

[newgirl2708]

One to bring much debate:

I have to have the t.p. roll towards me not against the wall.

Not only do I know I'm right, the t.p. company's agree with me (at least in my mind) as the 'patterns' on the t.p. show when the roll is properly placed on the holder, rolling toward me.

[GoingToMakeIt]

The espresso machine is on!

[Sunnyd210]

OMG you guys are killing me!! Im pretty OCD about the fire thing too. But its when Im driving. One of my cars went on fire and now all these years later if there is a smell I dont reconize I will keep asking everyone "Do you smell something burning?" its so bad that my kids just roll their eyes at me and say NO MOM!! LOL and if there is no one in the car with me I will call my boyfriend and tell him I smell something burning lol.

[refusingbondage]

LOL.. GTMI - this applies to all liquids.. *diet* soda, juice, water.. I'm like the little girl from the movie "Signs" with cups of liquid all over the house..they really DONT taste right after the first few sips..

[NautyOne]

LoL.....I don't have a DVD player either, just a vCR ...and a bunch of  World War ll movies......oh, and my favorite movie "CARRIE"......oiy!

I have to watch movies on my computer.  I do have a playstation.  Can you really watch movies with it?......I'm such a Tard.!.......can you!.....I a clueless.....

nauty....

[newgirl2708]

...lol!!!
I'm on my way!!! My house is Presidential ready and the sink is wiped out!!!!

[troubleinohio]

Nauty- YES you can watch movies with the playstation (at least the PS2 you can for sure, but i think you can with the old one too?!) I know for certain movies you have to set the security code /override it or it wont let you see them if its like R rated. Try it once and see!

[lonewolf07]

Can't stand having dog hair on the stairs or stairs that aren't polished so I sweep them, clean them and polish them to the point where the dogs slide down the stairs boom boom boom boom.

I can't sleep if the dogs aren't "tucked in" with their favorite toys (these are 80 lb dogs),  Have even gotten out of bed to make sure they have their "toy toys".  Never did that for my kids  = (

[dominosarah]

Thanks for bringing up the toilet paper and paper towels!!!

Lonewolf........oh i forgot about the tucking in of the pets!!!!!!  I hate dog and cat hair too on the steps....it collects on the sides and out comes the broom!!!!

[rue10]

I had a really rough day....I don't normally come to the social side.  I got in "trouble" the last time I did with Naughty.  Remember Naughty???? ;o)

But I am just about peeing in my pants reading all of these wonderful quirky things.

Thanks a bunch.

Oh, I have to straighten EVERY crooked picture I see also.

[rue10]

If I'm driving an the car in front of me flicks a cigarette out and I roll over it I think my car will explode!

[NautyOne]

Hahahhaaaaaa No rue.......I dont' remember a thing.......lol.  I have a wonderful selective memory....... Now,.keep your butt back over here......I'll watch over you.......;-0)

Nauty....

[Beargizmo]

I never pull into a gas station when I see a tanker unloading.  I'll drive 5 miles out of my way.


Jim

[newgirl2708]

hey...i think my dog has a 'quirk'....

When i get my house "President" ready..I also have to pick up her toys and bones. I put them in her bed. Done for the night...well...I think her 'quirk' is...she's got to get them all back out again...so now I have to wait until she's asleep, then put it all away..

Do you guys think she's typing on her doggie computer about how she CAN'T stand it when that woman puts her stuff away...???

I think while I'm at work, she's logged onto some website and complaining about how when she finally gets her stuff right where she wants it...that dreadful woman comes along and packs it all up again..

Just a thought...hmmm...I gotta get a hobby...

[lonewolf07]

Sarah - I have to tuck mine in too.  The names of their favorite toys are too embarrassing to type but tucking in an 80 lbs dog is quite an experience.

Newgirl - your dogs are probably working with the cats for world domination group.  If she has logged onto a website about exploding kitty litter boxes you'll know your dog has sold out to the cats.

I need a hobby too or maybe a life ....

[gizzy32]

My female dog has quirks and has some serious issues I think. Every single time I empty the dishwasher or make noise with dishes she will run the same laps over and over, i have never seen anything like it. She will run downstairs, back up behind couch then outside and goes full throttle in the same circle for 5 minutes around the yard, it's like she's in another world. If someone comes to the door she will get on fergus and start trying to hump him, WTF. Has anyone had a female dog that tried to hump, maybe she is a lesbian? LOL

[VicUser]

Gizzy, I have two Golden Retrievers that are female and they hump each other frequently. It is funny in a way, we yell at them and they look at us like WHAT.

NG, Mollie does the same thing with her toys. We got them new babies the other day that were on clearance from V-Day. Suzie stole Mollies and pulled all the hair off of it's head, it was a lion, now it looks like a monkey, and we have hair clumps everywhere.

[gizzy32]

LMAO! Ok so this is normal I guess, it is funny to see. I guess I don't need therapy for Xena then, whew

[Sunnyd210]

Actually Giz it is quite normal =) sometimes they do that out of excitement and sometimes its a dominance thing!! Mollie went through that little phase but I think she was just excited she stopped that now thank god!!

I have a golden retriever (male) best dog I ever had...everytime we "go for a ride" he has to take a toy with him...he'll run all over the house looking for one, then stand by the door, then pace around the house til I'm ready..if I'm not ready he'll start barking (toy in mouth) and stand by the door..I open the door and he dashes out to my truck, waits for me to open the door..(I have a 4 door truck)..and goes right to sleep...sometimes he'll do the stick the head out the window thing...if we go to any place that's a drive up (drug store, etc...he expects a treat from them and is very polite when he gets it..funny when I go to the drive up ATM...he doesn't get anything and is very disappointed.

On the other hand...he follows me all over the house, sleeps next to me and while he loves everyone in the house, seems to be very attached to me...I don't know what I'd do without him

omg giz dont get me going on humping dogs, lmao! Our male shepherd "puppy" is about 10 or 11 months old now......and....omg he humps EVERYTHING. Your leg, the table leg, his OWN leg, LOL.  Ive had to actually throw out a bunch of large stuffed animals because he had dragged them into his big dog cage and had a lovely night with them, LOL. The worst was this HUGE sttuffed gorilla i had. OMG i thought I was gonna have to BURN that thing after he was done with it, out of fear the garbage man might even vomit on himself after seeing what the dog did to it, rofl.  This dog needs NEUTERED soon!!!

My cat, Daisy, has to bite my chin in the middle of the night to get my attention so I'll pet her!  UGH!  That's her quirk!  LOL!!!

I used to always have to have a glass of ice water by my bed.  Well, one night a few years ago, my baby, Robear (cat who passed away at 17), decided he had to drink from my cup.  Well, my cup was on my headboard and he stuck his whole head in the cup to get a drink and I guess got stuck and so he freaked and I ended up with ice cold water all over my head!  It woke me so fast!  Man, that was cold!  Since then, I now have a water bottle next to my bed instead!  LOL!!!!

Flmagi, you'd NEVER get a picture straight in my house. My house is over 100 years old and none of the rooms are square. I just have to "visually" straighten them. I won a bet with a neighbor that you CAN put a ceiling border up in an extremely crooked house and make it look good. I've done it in 2 rooms. Hey vic, my best friend's female dog humps the female cat all the time. How's that for some comical action?...=)
