what do you do...

[Charla]

...that you think you're likely the only one who does it?

I alphabetize my spices (as does my mom). :D
I cannot tune out music. If it's on, I'm paying attention to it. I can kill more movies by suddenly shouting out "listen to that clarinet solo!!" And on-hold music can make me want to hang up! (sometimes I think that's the point :hey:)

I had more but I've forgotten them for the moment...

[missrubikscube]

LOL charla - i alphabetize my spices too - and my books (by genre) ... i used to alphabetize my CDs - but now all my music is on my computer and the CDs are in a box in the basement :)

hmmmm .... i create spreadsheets each time i go on a trip with EVERYTHING i am going to take (organized by day)- including which toiletries, socks, etc ... (i have some spreadsheets already made w/ general stuff - and then i customize depending on where i am going :) )

I have a very strange way of scratching my throat. I make an odd pig-like noise but it's farther back in my throat than the average pig noise. For a long time I thought I was the only one but I've found other people who do it, as well.

As far as noises and tuning out...I seem to hear everything all at once. If there is music playing in a restaurant and all the customers are talking and the dishes are clattering, I can't tune that stuff out to tell what song might be playing on the sound system. It's all in the forefront to me.

When I'm sitting at my computer or in a chair in general, and I have stocking feet, I curl my toes under rather than keep my feet flat. It's sort of like built in brakes so that my feet don't slide forward. And it raises my legs up a bit off the chair. Only problem...I'm starting to develop a little callus on each of my toes! Not pretty.

I'm a spice sorter, too!

And when I take groceries out of the bag, I wrap the little bag up like a pair of panty hose. Makes for neat and tidy plastic bags. :)

[cherpea]

oooh so do any of you spice sorters wanna come sort out my office for me???? you must be the organised uncluttered ones here... NOT me I am afraid...

I can and have slept standing up in a corner in the middle of a very noisy party... boring, loud mostly drunk people by the time I got there... I was tired so I went to sleep for a while... quite a longish while actually...

so yeah I can tune out lots of things... including fighting children (mostly...)

[gavins mom]

I say 'Oh No' before I sneeze'
Does that count?

[Charla]

That's great, Tiffany!
I don't roll my pantyhose up either, Sinead, so I had to think that through for a minute to figure out what it is you do with your bags :giggle: That's a great idea, though!

[MikkelPaige]

Haha - Tiffany, that's hilarious. My boyfriend needs to warn me and those around him of when he's going to sneeze b/c it's so loud and high pitched it scares the crap out of me unless there's a warning!

[gonewiththewind]

I will rewrite something if it isn't written neatly enough. So I'm territorial about my recipe book and my address book.

I used to save my pantyhose with runners in a separate shoe box. When I was super angry about something, I would take a pair out and then proceed to rip it apart. Very therapeutic, but I don't know anyone else who does that! ROFLMBO!

[yamstamps]

Cheryl, organizing spices alphabetically does NOT mean that organization carries over to the rest of life....trust me...LOL

I apologize during sports. (Does that give you an indication of my athletic ability?!). To the point where my 3 pitch teammates will say "Stop saying sorry!" To which, of course, my response is "Oh, sorry!" (seriously was caught doing that).

[Charla]

:rolling: Linda!
Cheryl, I can see that! Fun!

[gavins mom]

Maybe TMI:
My bra has to match my underwear!

[HeatherB]

:giggle: Tiffany!

I'm a spice sorter too. But it has to get way out of order before I get back in and re-sort!

I'm sure there are other things, but I can't remember any of them right now!

[Jane_4SBD]

I can tune out anything, especially when I drive. The kids could be going crazy in the car but I dont hear it, usually much to my husbands dismay! I can listen to 2-3 people talk at once & catch the majority of the conversations and I have excellent hearing. As a friend told me once, I could hear a fly fart 30 feet away! :giggle:

[gavins mom]

I could hear a fly fart 30 feet away! :giggle:
My hubby probably could too. Not only that he could probably smell it.
I swear the man has the nose of a bloodhound!!!

[Captivated Visions]

I'll embarrass myself now, I run the nail of my thumb over my top lip, It's a comfort thing, when I was a baby rather than sucking my thumb I would suck two other fingers and run my nail over my lip (loved my soft lip lol)

I find myself doing it while I'm thinking or watching tv, of course only when on my own or with hubby and he finds it cute LMAO!! Ok runs and hides now :P
