- I can't sleep if the sheet isn't tucked into the bottom of the bed. I need to be all wrapped up like a sardine in order to sleep. Christian, on the other hand, can't stand to have the sheet tucked in. So it's a constant joke between us - him kicking the bottom of the bed to loosen the sheets, and me tucking them back in.
- I hate slow draining drains. I mean loathe them. If I am standing in the shower, and a slow drain is causing my feet to be standing in putrid already used shower water, I am completely disgusted. I have been known to turn the faucet off and on, off and on to give the water a chance to drain in between washing body parts. And yes, I take baths occasionally. I know, it makes complete sense, doesn't it?
- You know when you dip your knife into the peanut butter/mayonnaise jar, and spread the appropriate amount on your bread, and there is still some left over on the knife, so you scrape it back into the jar? And the leftover mayo/pb just sits there on the neck of the jar? I can not use that mayo/pb again. It may as well have a neon "CONTAMINATION" sign on it. I have to reach into the bottom of the jar where the fresh stuff is. Even if the jar is empty, and there are disgusting selections of already-been-out-of-the-jar contaminants, I will throw it away and get a new one. Blech!
- I hate the sun. I know, I know. The fact that I can feel my skin burning after 10 minutes is awful. And sunblock is sticky and greasy, even the brands that promise they aren't. If I can be in the shade at all times I don't mind being outside, but as soon as I have to step into the sun I become a lobster. A cranky, crabby lobster.
While I know there are many, many more weird quirks about me, my brain is (perhaps thankfully) not allowing me to remember any others at this moment. Is anyone out there as weird as I am?

I'm with your husband on the sheets. I can't have them tucked in. But my feet need to be covered. Either by socks or blankets.
One day I will beat Kristina.
I cannot stand to have the sheets tucked in. I cannot sleep like that. But, at the same time, I have to be the one to untuck them with my feet or it really disturbs my sleep.
Nope, you're the only weird one out there. Sorry to have to be the one to break it to you.
You're not the only weird one-we all just don't want to admit our quirks. Earlier in my blog (not sure when) I name a few of them-and let's just say they are only a few-I have many, many more.
I love the sheets tucked in and hate when they are not! I am with you on the sun. I like to be in the warmth, but I hate sweating and I hate sunscreen too. They lie! they are super greasy.. I don't like homemade jam in containers that stays up on the edges that is contaminated!

I love this post because everyone has quirks and it is so fun to see what other people are. If I am eating m&m's and I eat a color on one side of my mouth I try to eat that same color on the other side of my mouth and when my hubby reaches over and takes one out of my pile that I am plannin on eating in a certain order it makes me crazy. I try not to let him know or he will do it just to tease me.
Sheets out! Sheets out!
I love the feel of a cool sheet swirled around my bare feet
For me the sheets must be tucked as well but also the covers have to be organized. I can't sleep in a bed with messy covers. A problem since my spouse throws them on and off all night long. If the bed was left unmade for the day, I will have to MAKE it before getting in it for the night. Can't risk having anything hanging out unless I want it hanging out.
Ha! I love people's idiosyncrasies. And I am a mix between your hubby and you. The sheets have to be tucked in (the bed made) but I can't be wrapped in the sheets. I feel stuck. I wake up in the night to roll over. Weird.
I love hearing about other weirdos out there!
I need the sheets tucked in, too. But not for the same reasons. There is a teeny-tiny part of my brain that still believes in monsters. And fully covered feet aren't vulnerable to monsters.
Or in other words, yes. I'm a crazy lady too.
Have you ever tried powder sunscreen? I have used this on myself and the kids before Sunforgettable Brush (spf 30) - Perfectly Clear Love the quirks :) We all have them and it's fun to hear about others.
I hate slow drains too. They gross me out to no end. And I agree on the cross-contamination situation. Though, I probably don't throw anything out.
I thought I was the only slow drain hater! :)
Nice to meet ya! (giggle)
one of my fav posts to date.. HEHE I'm still reading. You might have Christian look into the drain thing maybe there is something to this.
Love this post! All those irritating things that everyone always thinks about but never bothers to say you just SAID! LOVE IT!!!
I'm totally strange, as I'm sure you're aware. haha
I have many strange quirks, just ask my hubby. Only we call them "issues". LOL
Mark and I are on the same page as far as the sheets go....it drives us both crazy if they come untucked at the foot of our bed. At least we can be quirky together, right?
I love hearing about weird quirks. They make the most amusing posts. I hate the sun too, but only because I'm part vampire. Sometimes I do love it. And I sneeze when I go from the dark into bright sunlight.
I think you are completely normal:) You would hate my bed, because it comes untucked so often that I have given up.
Hey Erin, do you delete comments like the one from AMIT? He's just spreading his links.
Anyway, I prefer to have my sheets tucked in, but you're lucky you don't live over here! No straight sheet, just duvet covers so no tucking!! I guess it's probably like that in France, too (and duvet is most likely a French word)
And gross about the wiping of the knife. I don't really do it. I just use small amounts and get more as needed. Especially in mayo and jam. With spreadable butter I'm sometimes okay. But yes, I think you are weird just like the rest of us! :)
I'm like your husband, my feet need to be freeeeee!
But I am like you with the Peanut Butter jar! GROSS!!! That stuff on the side is NASTY!!!
:)
You are as weird as everyone else so I guess that means you are normal! I can't stand the sheets being tucked in. I think the first thing I do when I go to hotels is yank all of the sheets out from under the mattress. It is never a problem for us at my house though because I never make the bed. My husband must have all of the sheets and blankets perfectly lined up though. It drives me crazy when he fixes it every night. I am glad that I am usually asleep by the time he goes to bed because then I don't have to deal with him messing with the blankets for 10 minutes. Yep, I sleep HARD! lol
Lol! My husband hates when I do that with butter as I tend to get bread crumbs in the butter.
And sounds like you need to fix your shower drain, as yeah that would drive me crazy too
Totally with you on the mayo/peanut butter jar thing. GROSS!
And if there are crumbs in the butter/margarine, I have to scrape them off, throw them away and then start with a 'clean' butter.
Love the weirdness!
You sound pretty normal to me! I am with you on the peanut butter/mayo thing. YUCK!
If I was to list out my quirks..it would be a MUCH longer list and you would know that you were normal!
Once upon a time, there was a great sunblock that was non greasy which I wore for years. Then they changed the main ingredient and it is greasy like all the others. I was so upset I even called the company to ask why (they wouldn't say) and if they had any left in stock I could buy (no). It makes one wonder if they non greasy element was actually poisonous but now the world will never know. I suppose that's a good thing, huh?
I'm with you on the sheet thing.
No you are not the only "weird" person. Sometimes I think it might be more OCD though, on my part lol.
I can't have the sheets tucked in either!!! I also need the cold side of the pillow...
Oh and thanks for adding the button! You are awesome :)
I am the same way about tucking my blanket all the way to the top of neck/under my chin. That's the only way I can sleep even when it is hot outside! I actually need heavy blankets too! And I also can't stand when people scrape their the left over spread back into the jar. I find it gross and I just do not use it or buy a new one and keep it in the fridge! I am so glad I am not alone on this! :) We're totally normal!
