I have an extra rib. Anyone need one?

CianRyan

I'm the same, i still take baby antibiotics.
But if i gotta take a pain killer i just bite it.

I have an overwelming fear of dirty baby socks.
I'd rather be insulted than complimented.
I probably drink twice may weight of water a day, and always stiil feel thirsty.

Spare ribs?
Yes please.

While never baptised / christened, I was raised as a jehovah's witness.

When I was young young, mind! Until I was about 10 and was allowed to not care about religion anymore.

Not being funny, but have you been tested for diabetes? That's a big symptom.
My little sis just got diagnosed there a few months ago with type II, and her ONLY symptom was being super thirsty.

My weird fact for today...I can touch my nose with my tongue :cool:

LadyE

I love baby anitibiotics, the yellow stuff

Odd fact about me..dont think I have any..well, they are not odd to me.

Oh, I can only turn the tv up onto an even number.

CianRyan

Sh!t really?
Thanks for tellin me, i'll sort that out.

Will

such a creature of habit, once im in my day to day rythm it is very hard for me to break out of it
e.g get the same breakfast everyday at the same time in work, to the point where the other staff have it waiting for me :pac: They try get me to try new stuff but i politely say no.
It will end this week when work ends, will have to forge out a new groove for college then all will be well again

CianRyan

LadyE&Will - OCD!
Not rippin the piss, i go to counceling for it.
Some times i cant leave the house in the morning for HOURS, untill i get things right.
But im pretty extreme.

LadyE

I dont think its OCD territory..I did used to have a thing whether I was convinced id left the irno on (I did once, and burnt my cousin with it) to the point Id have to check it was in the press before I left, and if I forgot I used to leg it home to check..nightmare.

Dont do that anymore thank god! Used to have me worrying all the time!

Will

It doesn't affect me day to day, like I won't be house bound if my socks aren't matching or something
I did develop an irrational fear of my post box in lyon though, that was hilarious

And i thought the baby sock thing was weird. hahaha

What was wrong with the post box?

Fiii

I have a fear of street performers.
Like, not the musical kind...but you know those headcases who stand still for hours? Yeah, do NOT love them AT ALL!!
Oh, and clowns. Scare the bejaysus out of me.
*shudders*

Sounds like a friend of mine, when I'm walking down grafton street with him I have to keep him at the side of the road opposite to the "performers", and still deal with him muttering angrily about them . . .

Same guy's also afraid of milk . . .

Will

Ah nothing, I just didn't wanna open it cos i knew there would be bills in it.

Odd fact about me;

I am ambidextrous due to me breaking my left arm at the age of 4, was forced to write with my right hand in school. Do most things with my left hand but can switch handily enough.

Captain Ginger

Ok well for me I CAN'T eat a sandwitch with the butter on the top, it HAS to be on the bottem slice of bread. When it comes to chocolate biscutes or jafacakes the topping has top be on the top when I eat them, I don't understand how people can eat them upside down.

I'm so jealous!
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous!

spinandscribble

Will

My mates have to do the same. Most try to distract me so that I don't notice them, because if I do, I tend to dig my nails into the nearest arm in fear
Went to Barcelona a few years ago- they were EVERYWHERE!! I was freakin out.

Milk however, I loooove milk. Drink a couple of litres a day.

Fact: If I get upset or stressed my stomach flips out. So much so, that I developed a stomach ulcer aged 22. Ouchy!

Will

mimes intimidate me, same with stupidly quiet people

guilty passion is watching street fights or mma, things like that

spinandscribble

basically means if i go to hospital i have to make them aware otherwise they'll think somethings wrong with it. i'm healthy as a horse really! :P ooooh punage. (don't ban me!)

and coco cow gives me a rash!

Sofaspud

Don't have a cow man


Anyway on topic I am actually really vain, I can look at myself for ages in the mirror and end up styling my hair in 2 or 3 different ways before I go out.

Time to do hair for young padawan = roughly 30mins-45mins, depending on style.

Meh... Gotta look good.

Will

I understand the want of looking good, but 30-45mins just on hair!? jeebus

2 mins for my hair maximum, hop out of shower, lash in some gel, happy days

CianRyan

Tbh most of the time, i just dry it and leave it be curly and such.
But if im going out somewhere, gotta towle dry, blow dry, straighten and hairspray it too fúck.

Will

o.0

CianRyan

my mother used to, it's been about 12 years since i've ever had any tablets in any way shape or form.
Another weird thing about me. I write with my left hand, but i use my right to carry,lift,pusah,punch as it's stronger and feels more natural.

Kya1976

odd fact about me, I'm absolutely terrified of badgers!!! Can't really go out with my dogs when it's dark outside just in case I'd run in to a badger......
I'm addicted to softmints as well, not really odd they are so yummy after all:p

hot2def

I've met Buzz Aldrin

Aspiration

LadyE, i'm like you! Except it has to be to the power of 2. I rarely go beyond 32 and if someone changes the volume, I get agitated and either grab the remote or leave the room.

I can reverse into any parking space, but for the life of me I'm unable to drive straight into one first hand.

I never wear flat shoes as much as I'd love to. For those who have met me, it is for obvious reasons

When I get very very angry, I disappear and bite things/myself until i have calmed down.

Melion

Im the same with the volume thing except it has to be either a 5 or a 0 that it ends on. It has to be 5,10,15,20,25,30 etc. And not just with the TV, stereo at home, car stereo. I thought it was strange til i read here.

RxQueen

If i turn around , i have to turn back the opposite way almost straight away, why you say , cause i feel dizzy and sick if i dont. Tried once not to, and ended up getting sick, people thought i was wired!! :P..... maybe it is!

also , just looking that some of ye can't take tablets, I cant take the luquid form of medicne ever, makes me sicker

cool fact: im also a kilkennier
fun fact: my face is made of shoelaces

weird fact:

• i hate feet, even my own sometimes and wont touch them!...
• i wont sit in the middle of the back seat of a car, because i get really nervous that if we crash il go straight through the windscreen even with a belt on... i feel safer sitting behind a seat!
• really fussy about food, milk has to be freezing cold and you have to scrape the butter out of the tub not 'hock' into it with a knife.. weird i know!
• a few years ago i wouldnt walk under telephone wires if there were birds on it, dont know if thats still the case.
• i cannot and will not walk over a bridge unless it looks really sturdy! the bridge going into waterford is a definite no no! the railing doesnt look safe enough!

errrrm! thats all i can think of at the moment!

After reading some of your weird things, mine don't seem so weird :pac:

I have an irrational fear of needles, or anything sharp so have to close my eyes when getting piercings.

I was locked under a stairs when I was younger, and now wont use elevators or go into any small spaces unless I absoloutly have to.

I will never put butter on bread, I think butter is disgusting.

I change my pin on my phone, and my ATM account every time I use it, and I won't use the same pin on my phone and ATM. Can get confusing. :rolleyes:

errrrr..... the last one is weird!

i only put butter on toast.... nothing else! and people who put butter and mayonaise on a salad sandwich should be tortured! its disgusting...

suzaane

i use my left hand to write and that's about it!
i have more strength in my right hand and use that for everything else!
i have to make my bed the EXACT same way every morning and if it doesnt look right when i'm finished, i start again :P
i can't think of anything else that would be weird?

Will

Bunch of OCD fookers here it seems.

I hate cheese, but will eat it on pizza.

Cheese - the devil in dairy form.
