What are your idiosyncrasies? - Odeo - 09-16-2005
Since recent threads have sucked ass (is it the topics or posters? your choice), I present a simple and yet interesting topic which should provide sufficient conversation for at least the next 10 minutes.
Originally, I'd been thinking about peculiarities limited to those inherited from your parents, but that leaves out sutff, since many of you fuck-ups are not even close to resembling a twisted version of your parents.
I bet if you think about it, though, most of it is related to your parents one way or another.
1). When I was a kid, my mother started feeding me pancakes when I was 5. To keep me from choking, she ripped up each pancake into bite-size pieces, put syrup all over it, and put a small slab of peanut butter on the edge of the plate, for me to stab and eat with the pancakes, like tartar sauce. Now, waffles I can eat normal, but if I ever have pancakes, I have to eat it that way, or it doesn't taste right. *shrug*
2). When I take the freshness-seal off of anything, I can't leave any chunk of crap on top of the edge of the bottle lip, I'll keep picking at it for 5 mins. until I'm satisfied.
2b). Same with sticker prices, labels on stuff, and the DVD anti-privacy stickers that separate if you try to remove it completely, must drive people more anal about it than me to suicide.
3). I buy V05 shampoo and hair-gel/oil because my father used it every day before going to work, and kissed us goodbye as kids - reminds me of him.
3). Whenever I wash dishes, if I turn up the water real fast, I hear my mother yelling at me [inside my head] to "turn down the water." She hated a huge water bill. So I do, real fast, almost like instinct - talk about Pavlov's dog for life.
6). I can't be on time for anything, I have to fool myself into thinking the arrival time is 15 before actual.
7). I'm right-handed, but I shoot, golf, shoot bow & arrow, open combination locks with my left hand.
Anyone?

My boss is like that, I love it when he can't get a grip on the door handle and keeps pawing at it like a complete tool.

dude you are going inside anyway... only thing you are gonna touch is your pecker or your ass while wiping it. You are Ben Stiller in something about polly aren't you.

ok I get it now...
1) I have to go back and check stuff like 2-3 times to satisfy my mind that it is done. ie- turn off the stove, lock the door....all because I got yelled at once when I was a kid.
2) I notice everything. I can pick up even the smallest change or smallest detail in stuff...simply from my father always riding my ass to pay attention when I was a kid.

Um.........I'll play.
I find myself doing a lot of things with my daughter like my mom did for me. Just little things, like cutting up her pancakes (weird), over worrying, and always giving in. It's scary.

i swear you are a blockhead. lets say you are going in to take a piss. you get done washing your hands, and now you have to touch the door handle to get out. meanwhile 5 minutes earlier, clay was in stall #2 fingering his ass. he gets done, walks right past the sink, and opens the door. i aint touching it.

I knew I wasn't the only one.
Careful, you're gonna fuck your kid's life-career over when she has to eat pancakes with the boss.

I HAVE to have a fan on when I sleep, and the closet door has to be closed.

I have to set three alarms, chances are I either miss or snooze through two. The third must be annoying and far enough away so I have to get up to turn it off.

5) I have no short term memory.
