Re: Unusual habits, traits

If my last employer checked up on me online, they didn't check up on me very closely. LOL

Every time I walk up to my car I walk around the entire vehicle making sure all my tires are inflated. I have started looking also for any body damage, insurance won't pay if you leave the lot without calling them about it first.

Re: Unusual habits, traits

Oil or grease on my hands doesn't bother me. Getting food / condiments on my hands freaks me out.

I like salt on my watermelon (common around here) and mustard on boiled potatoes (picked up from my Grandpa). Pie is put in a bowl and eaten with a spoon. Point facing me, of course.

Don't like crowds of people. In large meetings or church, I avoid sitting in the middle of the row / pew and grab a seat on the end. Seems many people like to "cluster" and will sit in one area of a food court while I prefer to be away from the crowd.

In a restaurant, I prefer to sit with my back to the wall and face the door.
Given space, I park away from other vehicles in a parking lot and usually face out.

Gee...like Larry said, the longer this thread gets, the more "normal" we are.

While working on patch panel repair, sanding, you name it, can't stand standing on debris on the floor. Every half hour or so I run the broom to clean up the area.

Double roasted goobers. Salted roasted in-the-shell peanuts aren't bad, but I like mine darker.
I put a single layer on a steel cookie sheet & bake 22 minutes in the oven at 320 degrees.
Not only tastes much better, they don't bloat my stomach like regular store-bought goobers.

Re: Unusual habits, traits

Yeah, I thought he was name calling on us. Buncha double roasted goobers we have here...sheesh!

I do a lot of the stuff Advance Design does, like parking, restaurant, sitting in rows, parking away, and backing in...even when a sign says "pull in parking only" (ridiculous/can't oblige). I call it foresight. I tend to eventually think all things through that I do repeatedly to find the best way. At a movie, concert, etc. I always sit and wait for the crowd to clear, then just stroll out. Why volunteer to be herded through the gate? When I wash my dishes I put spoons and forks handle down so they fit better and are easier to grab out and put knives blade down, for obvious reasons. They are the first thing I grab when putting away, since they are longer and easiest to grab.
