True Confessions

I'm up late trying to acid wash some jeans, and strange thoughts start to come to mind when I'm alone and tired.

I have weird phobias... maybe all phobias are weird by definition.

I am afraid to put a glove on without looking inside first for fear a spider has made a nest inside.

I am afraid of accidentally touching the bottom of any body of water with bare feet. Even in swimming pools, I'm afraid my foot will touch a drain unexpectedly.

I am afraid of my parents' pool cleaner. I am afraid that if I don't know where it is, I might touch it by accident. I don't even like touching it on purpose, but at least it doesn't freak me out as much. I feel there is a reason it is called "Kreepy."

I count swallows when I drink from a drinking fountain.

I always fish out the little white thing in raw eggs before using them.

I put discs back into the most convenient case instead of the right cases, much to my husband's dismay.

I won't eat mushrooms or shellfish, not because of the flavors, but because of what they are.

I never take the first item on the shelf. I always get one from the back because I feel it has been handled less and is less likely to be damaged or a return.

I once sorted all the L'Oreal lipstick colors in Target because they were all mixed up.

I am a perfectionist when it comes to selecting produce. I seriously spend way too much time trying to find produce that has no cosmetic flaws.

I never use the first stall in a restroom unless it is the only one open. If all of you do that, then I guess my plan to use a cleaner stall is foiled.

*sigh*

I need to chillax. I did get rid of one habit... I stopped trying to make the gas pump stop exactly on the dollar.

Baby steps, people!
Publishing this post seems like a good idea at 1:30 in the morning...

Oh man! I do a lot of those too!! I heard they did some sort of study and found out the first stall has the cleanest toilet because everyone thinks it must be the dirtiest. DOH! I pick from the back at the grocery store too for the same reasons...especially cuz I shop at walmart and Ive seen perishable things sitting near the cash register. I hate kreepy too. And I still do the gas on the dollar....97, 98, 99....ah crap 30.01!

I'm seriously laughing so hard right now...glad to know I'm not the only one with strange quirks (not these ones, but other strange ones too). I don't have a fear of pool cleaning equipment, but don't even get me started about garbage disposals! :)

I laughed my head off reading these. I can totally see you doing them too. Dan loved the disc in the convenient case one too. I'm sure we all have weird quirks like that, I just never took the time to ponder and write them down!

its not your fault. we were trained to be afraid of kreepy, mushrooms, shellfish and spiders. i have the same problem with gloves and or anything i might stick my hand or foot in like a rollerblade boot. and who doesnt try to stop on the dollar? that right there just makes good sense.
