Yup. Watched an old episode of Amazing Stories where a kid got pulled under, and never hung my arm over again.

Same here; but for me it was Poltergeist and that danged clown! :irked:

I iron my money. Kind of weird, I guess, but I don't like it when the dollar bills in my pocket are all wrinkled. So most nights and some mornings when my wife is doing some ironing (she won't iron my money for some strange reason!) I like to run over my bills with a hot iron.

 

As I finish typing this I realize this makes me sound a tad odd . . . . .

 

Dude...

Dude...

 

Yeah, I know. I probably shouldn't have even posted it. Makes me sound like a bit of a freak and I actually am a pretty normal guy. I have no idea what caused me to start doing this. Been doing it for 20+ years.

 

At this point, I am very hopeful that at the conclusion of this thread I am not determined to be the one in the greatest need of psychological help . . . .

The question is, how long does it take to do this? You would hope it would take a long time, more money.

At least your not laundering it, just ironing it.

That was bad.

I will not hang my arm over the side of the bed.

 

If I drop an M&M or a piece of popcorn or something, I will actually throw another one on the ground with it so it can have a friend.

I just pick it up and eat it.

:lol: Cute.

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have a winner!

:eek:

1. On a car radio screen the volume numbers HAVE to be even numbers.

2. When I get dressed the left side must go on first(left sock on first, left leg in pants first, left arm in sleeve)

3. I have to brush my teeth exactly 3 times in the morning before going to work.

4. Money must be faced the same way in my billfold in order from $1's up.

I never thought about it, but I do the same when getting dressed....:lol:

OK, here or some of mine.

 

• When at work, working on the computer, I must have a pen in my hands as I type.
  
• I remember phone numbers by creating equations out of the numbers. I haven't forgotton one yet that way!
  
• My money has to face the same way, small bills on top.
  
• I cannot handle square objects that are not exactly parallel to the edge of a surface. ie: picture frames cannot be arranged catty-cornered.
  
• All my books have to be shelved alphabetically by title. I read so much I never remember author's names, but I always remember the title of the book.
  
• I can't stand spills on a counter. If there's a spill, I MUST clean it up right away. This used to cause the baristas with whom I worked at Starbucks many hours of amusement, and they'd spill things just to watch me scurry over to clean it up. :irked: :lol:
  
• I straighten store shelves. If I walk down the cereal aisle, I'll actually stop to straighten and pull forward boxes on the shelves.
  
• I face all my canned goods on my pantry shelves. Boxes have to be placed where the narrow side of the box is facing outward with the nutrition information showing. Canned green beans to the left, corn in the middle, peas on the right. All "like" items MUST be grouped together.
  
• I can't stand a crooked rug.
  
• When I walk my dog, my keys and phone go in my right pocket, poop-bags in the left.
  
• I have to have a book, magazine or cross-word puzzle in my purse at all times.
  
• I have to read when I eat.
  
• I correct people's grammar all the time. I blurt it out without even knowing I'm going to.

You know, there's help available for folks with your condition. :lol:

I don't know. That just doesn't add up.

Glad I'm not the only anglo-phobe.

Told ya' you should've been a library lady.

I straighten store shelves. If I walk down the cereal aisle, I'll actually stop to straighten and pull forward boxes on the shelves.

I've been known to do that; but if I straightened everything that bothered me in the store, they'd have to give me health benefits and vacation time.

Okay, that's a little weird.

When I walk my dog, my keys and phone go in my right pocket, poop-bags in the left.

See! That's why you're always taking crap from the "right!"

I have to have a book, magazine or cross-word puzzle in my purse at all times.

It's best to be prepared for a reading emergency. The Red Cross reccomends at least three days reading material per person.

I have to read when I eat.

I'm different there. I have to eat when I read.

I correct people's grammar all the time. I blurt it out without even knowing I'm going to.

It's what drives people to become moderators.
