So we all have little things that we do that make sense to us but may not to others. I know I have my little quirks and things that really only matter to me but could be a "why do you do that?" or "ohhhhh oookaaaayyyy" thing for someone else. Like I noticed that one of my coworkers, who also works the some shift as I do usually runs into the bathroom to take a dump before clocking in. I notice this because I'm analytical and catch on to patterns quickly. Now I know we are all different and run different regularity schedules but I find this odd because I make sure to poop before I leave the house because I'm trying to reduce the instances that I have to use public porcelain as much as possible. Sometimes you just can't help it but we work earlier enough in the day that I'd think a mid morning BM at home should have occurred before the morning commute. I just wouldn't have chanced it but that's me. I'm definitely a Tissue Paper Under person. I can't stand when people use the same knife for the jelly and peanut butter. I like my Publix sammiches to be rolled in the paper before beings cut in half. What are some of your idiosyncrasies?
I'm a TP over kinda person, the other way doesn't really make sense to me and I don't trust people who do it the other way lol. One of my bigggest quirks, and pet peeves, is when I let someone use my grease, cocoa butter or any other semi-solid thing (like toothpaste)and don't follow the already existing state. For example: with grease and cocoa butter I swipe in a circular pattern, that way the tub and it's contents are evenly distrbuted and get used equally. I evenly squeeze toothpaste from the bottom for the same concept. DO NOT dig in my grease or squeeze my toothpaste from the center. I will never let you use my ish again, and it takes forever to regain my pattern. Because I know I'm so particular about that, I usually tell people about it before they use it, though, how could you miss that small detail before you just used it?!?!
I'm pretty punctual, for the most part. I'm also somewhat introverted, so I sometimes have to "pump myself up" for going out. If I know I'm going out that night, I organize my day's schedule around that event. I finish some errands and tasks during the day in anticipation of the event. So if the person or people I'm going out with, change the time we were supposed to meet up at the last minute, it throws me off. I hate getting those texts that say "Sorry, I'm running late, can we meet an hour later?" Or when you do show up on time, they're late. I understand that sometimes people are late for legitimate reasons. That's fine. And even if it's not legitimate, it's okay if it's rare. Otherwise, it's just inconsiderate and makes me annoyed.
I'm have amassed enough quirks in my lifetime that I've been christened "issue boy". There are literally so, so many that I have but here's just a few. I have a nazi like need for order in my spaces. All of the hangers are the same wooden brand, it would drive me crazier to see plastic, wood and wire jumbled together in my closet (no harmonious hanger mixing allowed!) I also have an extreme need for symmetry. For example, If I have an orange candle on the right shelf, the left shelf has to have the same candle and I have to have them burned to the same level. I fold my towels and clothes exactly the same way on my shelves so much so that it looks like a store. The same goes for my kitchen shelves and cans and condiments on and in them. Like you, I'm an under paper guy and have had frequent (non serious) beef with people who put it the other way. Wet towels on a bed also will cause my brow to crease. Not a fan of the squeezed toothpaste tube. Will fight you if you leave my toilet seat up and will beat you into a coma if I see pee on my bathroom floor, toilet rim or wall. Not a big toucher, do not like being touched. (which considering the amount of sex I've had in my lifetime, is kind of an oxymoron) Prefer to not even shake hands and don't even contemplate hugging me unless we're intimate already and have signed consent forms...ok, maybe that last part is an exaggeration...maybe. This was cathartic, for telling just the few idiosyncratic quirks that I possess.
Oh man, I have a laundry list, but the two main things that people side eye me about are I have to turn the sink faucet on when I poop, and I shower before I go to the gym.
Dude, you would literally die from cardiac arrest if you looked in my closet. LOL I'm irked to no end by the disorder/ disarray however, I'm not pressed to spend money on some shit that only I'm gonna see everyday LOL
Yes, lol, I admit it. Instead of judging people on normal things like their music or porn collection, it's the order thing that gets my blood going. My Sister has finally learned after all these years to keep her closet doors closed when I'm there.
124-year-old patent solves the 'over versus under' toilet paper roll debate I would drive everybody crazy and they would drive me crazy. I don't like too much order and neatness-it gets on my nerves. *and the toilet paper should go over...but it is not a big deal to me. As long as there is toilet paper available I am good.
I am not neat. I am not tidy. I have 'hoarder' tendencies. Someone would have to willing to put up with not only clutter, disorder, but also the results of an aversion to housecleaning. I would basically need a bigger slob than I am so I could be the 'tidy' one and blame the mess on them(or someone who can tolerate all of that stuff, there are saints out there). Not too many gays can tolerate this stuff. Or me really. * My dad is the same way. I got it from him, and I take solace in knowing that as we have grown older and closer, that I have inherited all kinds of things from him lol. I can blame genetics! The inside of his car is like the inside of my car-a horror show to most people-especially picky neat-freak gays. Which is why I never drive anywhere and just give gas money and people are just fine with that. I will drive to their place or a common place or whatever, but if we go anywhere together from there it is in their car. I agree about the lateness thing- more than a few times being late and it is a passive aggressive annoying thing to me.
1. I love Louise Belcher. 2. Patents can be wrong. 3. I have probably wasted enough clean water for a small third world country to survive on for a decade with my poop sound diffusing water running.
The toilet paper thing doesn't bother me at all. Under or over IDGAF. As long as there is a full roll I'm happy. However I am somewhat OCD about paper money. If I have a stack of bills they all have to be facing the same direction and go from lower denominations to high or higher to lower.
I hate when people put sugar in spaghetti....WHY? HATE IT!!!!!...Stop putting sugar in anything that's a non-pastry/lactose/baked product!!!!!!, I hate when people throw food away....WHY? Doggy bag it or STARVE!!!!, I hate little girls with their hair not done....CHILD ABUSE!!!!, I hate when people honk for my attention, instead of saying at least "Hey sir!"....STOP IT!
Lol, can't eat spaghetti or anything with a tomato base without adding sugar. Also can't eat grits without sugar. Another food quirk I have is a dislike for adding ketchup/mustard/hotsauce to my food and wonder why people add all the extras and can't enjoy the food for what it is. But I guess this is hypocritical because I will add sugar to everything. Non-food related quirk is sleeping on the cool side of the pillow. Can't sleep without a fan running and the window open...even in the dead of winter. I also get skittish seeing hair on the sink/toilet/tub.
1. When guy's leave out of the bathroom without washing their hands, I'll obsess over it in my head for like the next 5 minutes and think about all of the other nasty shit they probably do in their life. 2. No food in my car...AT ALL, water is okay on a hot day 3. I sleep with the fan on all year round (I can't go to sleep in complete silence, creeps me out) 4. I don't pee directly into the water because I don't want people to hear the sound
Black gays,white gays, masc, femme, it does not matter the anal-retentiveness stays the same lol. (just kiddin around guys)
Without a doubt, you'll always see me with a bottle of water and Chapstick. For some reason, I tend to sing the beat of the song rather than the words. :/ I have this tendency to write/text they way I talk (I'll include my speech fillers like "uhm" or say(I guess write in this case) "yeh" and even write out random thoughts I have in the middle of my sentence. I sleep with two alarms on....not that I'm a heavy sleeper yeh (seriously, I can hear the garden door open from all the way up here), it's just that, I have this debilitating fear of being late for work. I'm a stickler for putting/having things back where they belong....I don't care, you don't even have to ask me to use my sh*t, just put it back where you found it. (And on the subject of taking people's things....the only other thing I'd require is that you give me a heads up that you're taking something of mine. You don't have to ask for permission, but don't just take it and not tell me sh*t yeh.)
....you are just too freaking adorable bruv. Lol. But yeh, you would hate me because I'm that person who'd tell you I'll be ready at 7 and not even have my trousers on till about 8.
Its quite common in the south for people to put sugar on everything to grits, fruits even soda. I like a lil sugar and lil cinnamon in my spaghetti sauce though lol.

[/QUOTE] Yo I had a college roommate that was using my stuff with out asking. One day I caught him in a lie after finding my stuff in his closet. smh. I was ready to .... Im a natural introvert but had to learn to pumb myself up to go out or be in a large gatherings. After, I need time to myself sometimes in silence or listen to music. Its like I need to recharge myself up again. I also sleep with the fan on or listen to music when I go to sleep. I also like it to be cold when I sleep. Unless I have the air on blast, sometimes in summer its very hard for me to go to sleep because of the hot humidity.
As a picky but not that neat of a freak gay, I'd ride with you as long as the car doesn't smell like homeless butt. Running water and now either my phone or pad playing a loud song. Can't eat a hot dog unless it's covered in deli mustard or a burger without ketchup/catsup or bbq sauce and chicken needs hot sauce like waffles need syrup! My bathroom would frighten you, I have to do a lot of sweeping because I literally shed body hair tumbleweeds. Moving my tv remote from it's spot might get someone stabbed a little bit. As someone who exists in his own personal time zone, I'd cut ya some slack. The only things I'm ever early/on time for is work, movies and flights. Another of the many reasons I'm stayin' single. The only sound I like to hear when going to sleep is snoring, with the exceptions being if I'm drunk or it's the weekend...which go hand in hand. Nothing like wrapping up in a nice warm comforter.
I have to sleep with the fan on even at times when its cold. Dont touch it. Dont move it. Don't even turn it down to medium. I'll glare at you at you if you do. Im a time pusher. If you say be ready at 7, Im ready at 6:30. If you show up 15 mins or so late...I glare at you. Do not get to my place or if I take you to someone else's place, Dont start picking up stuff and exploring other folks stuff. Even if you are a close friend dont come in picking up things Ive strategically placed in a certain spot. I have one friend that does this & I tell him dont come up in my house picking and rearranging stuff..sit still and keep your hands to yourself. I had another friend in H.S. that had this bad. We would go to other friends homes and he would get up and start looking around and looking at pictures and lifting up objects like he's in a national musuem or a scientist or something. I was like...sit down. Other than those few things, Im chill..I cant think of anything else right now.
More of my quirks, when I have to take pills I must drink something first then take the pill. I don't like for certain foods to to touch. For example I don't like for spinach or collard greens to touch the turkey, chicken...etc. When taking the subway I always wait at the very end of the platform. This way I can ride on the least crowded car.
After hanging out this weekend one of my quirks was on display. My politeness can be overbearing. I will not let anyone hold a door open for me, I have to be the door holder and I have to be the last one through it. This didn't happen this weekend, at least not with my two handsome "dates" but if and when I'm in the setting to actually cheat on my hands and have outside relations with an actual person again there can't be music or television on during the...process. I don't understand how amateur porn stars do it.
Ok, now I'm confused. Are you confused that I can't perform with distractions or the fact that I actually entertained two gentlemen callers...and they're both still alive....of course neither one of them has been on the boards since...hmmmm!
I honestly didn't know WHERE you were going with any of that LMAO. I kinda picked up something about j/o, but that's just because I'm a chronic 'Bater, but I couldn't figure out if you had actually met up with someone(s) or what LOL! I can be a little "aloof" at times.
It was hard to get quite right, wasn't it? I got most of it I think. The door thing happened, but the music/tv thing was irrelevant since he did not have sex with his two dates...who have not been on the boards since. But it is just Monday..so were the gentlemen callers both this past week and were they just friends from here? It is only Monday morning right? Isn't it too soon for a hmmmm? The reply made it more confusing lol. Is the 'they are still alive' but not on the boards mean they are being held for future killing? lol
