I hate wood Popsicle sticks, wooden spoons, and those wood flat spoons you got with ice cream cups as a kid. I hate the way it smells and I feel like I will get slivers in my tongue. Dh has a field day with this.
Scraping noises are nauseating to me. My kids have some plastic cups with those hologram pictures on them, and even the noise my sponge makes when I wash them triggers my gag reflex!
I rub my feet back & forth together when I'm trying to fall asleep or relax. And it's always left foot on top of the right foot. My sister does the exact same thing.
My nervous habit is to grab the finer hairs near my temples and go from one end to the other...and if some falls out I start over. You could imagine this was a big problem when my hair started falling out after pregnancy.
I alphabetize my spice rack, color coordinate my closets and drawers and organize the pantry by height/size order.
I have problems, yo. At least I'm not as far gone as my aunt, who puts her newspapers back into alphabetical order by section BEFORE she puts them in the recycling. Yes.
I don't see a problem with this
Sometimes my husband will move my travel books around and wait like a 5 year old on Christmas for me to notice they are out of order.
Having artificial nails on my hands make me claustrophobic. I would start to feel like I was suffocating and I would pick at them almost frantically until I got them off, destroying my own nails in the process. I haven't gotten artificial nails in a at least a decade, though. Nail polish on my fingers makes me feel the same way but to a lesser degree. I can do my nails and leave it for a day or two before I start to get that feeling of MUST HAVE IT OFF IMMEDIATELY.
It doesn't bother me on my toenails, for some reason.

I don't like to walk on grass barefoot and I will not walk on wet grass barefoot or while wearing sandals. Running through the sprinkler was never appealing to me as a kid.
I'd refer you to the thread earlier in the week re: snakes. I have a deep fear of them. I will cry like a frightened child if I see even a picture of one.
When I put crayons, markers, etc back in their box, I always arrange them in order according to rainbows. Black, white, and brown always throw me for a loop though.
Sheets must be perfectly smooth above and below me to sleep. Wrinkles keep me awake.
it's so good to know I'm not alone in this! I've been known to get out of bed and re-smooth the sheets if I've had a restless night trying to fall asleep.
I do that too!!! Except I touch my teeth together.
I also do something like this. I lift my fingers up when passing over a break in lines on the road or the cutouts in sidewalks where cars enter driveways, like they're jumping over the gap.
That reminds me that when I'm in a car (not driving) and it's raining, anytime it looks like the windshield wiper is going to "land" on a side road or drive way I close my eyes.
I'm not good at keeping my responses to 1 post haha
I don't eat sandwiches. They are SO gross to me. I can't even look at them without getting totally grossed out. Don't even get me started on having to sit in a conference room near a platter of sandwiches. [[shudder]]
Hamburgers don't freak me out though, for some reason.
I can't stand the sight of an unmade bed. I make my bed every morning. On the rare occasions where I spend most of the day in bed sick, I will actually make it before I get in again. I know it makes no sense.

I'm particular about my feet and textures. For years, I slept with socks on regardless of the temp. I don't particularly card to walk barefoot on certain types of carpet.
I have a bunch of weird videos on my YouTube favorites list because of the way they sound: a guy getting a chiropractic adjustment, a Japanese royal family video with no English or subtitles (simply because I like the way it sounds when their shoes click on the floor of the palace and the noises their outfits make when they bow), a lot of med school tutorial videos, shoe shining videos, role-playing situations (scalp check, optometrist exams, even an alien abduction).
I have to brush my teeth with hot water. I have several teeth brush quirks, but I'm not sure if all of them count as more than one, since they are under the same umbrella.
Similar, although I prefer to brush my teeth in the shower. I like to make a big smile and let the pressure from the showerhead "power wash" my teeth.
Threads like these make me realize...I prob shouldn't be sharing as much.

My husband can sleep through my remaking the bed, complete with tucking in the top sheet and blanket. That is how often I have to do it. Of cities, when it gets to that point, I know it's time for fresh sheets and will change them the next day. After a week on the bed, they get stretched out and wrinkly!

Like ASMR videos? I have a couple of those myself. Bags crinkling, beauty shop, etc.
