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?
