    They'll never run out. ;)

    I honestly don't think I have a weird obsession...

    ...years ago though, the number 7 on the remote would have to be the last button touched prior to Man U kicking off or they'd lose! :pac:

    They are finite.... 9,999,999 for every carrier. That's enough for everyone in this country twice over... multiply by 4/5 networks.

    lol do you actually lick the light bulb ha ?

    Yes, but it's all very technical, if its not licked in the right place, it's all for nothing.

    I like straight lines.

    If I have a square beer mat I like it to be right at the edge of the table, if I'm at the corner of the table, then the beer mat is right up at the corner. I learned recently that this freaks people out incase my beer falls over. I like stamps to be exactly perfect on letters. I like to be exactly parallel to the lines when I park. I fix my rug in my sitting room to be perfectly in line with the floorboards.

    Ok, you get the picture.

    I have an obsession with birds in general but its those two kinds that really get me going.
    Interesting fact: A raven is an extremely large songbird despite it being associated with a harsh croak.

    If it's not a right angle its a wrong angle.

    There was a thing on the radio earlier about buzzards. Apparently they've been in Ireland for years, but a breeding pair was introduced in Antrim or somewhere in the 1800s and they have been spreading down along the east coast of Ireland since. There was a farmer on, in Meath I think, talking about how all the small birds and rodents on his property had been eaten.

    Buzzards, mental. Raptors all over the place, there is.

    Oh, and obsessions: nail varnish, Nail Varnish, NAIL VARNISH. You get the picture.

    Lots, and each one costs money. Each one you pointlessly order costs money that is then passed on to the rest of us through our bills.

    So stop. Just stop. Perhaps speak to a counsellor.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 87 ✭✭carolmarx


    My tv/radio/mp3 player volume absolutely has to be at an even number..No if buts or maybes.
    If I use/read/hear a word with the same letter in it consecutively I spell it out really slowly in my head 3 or 4 times..If someone interrupts me I'll be silently fuming.
    I have to flex all the joints in my body about ten times a day starting at the feet working all the way up to my shoulders/ neck, then finally give my ears a little wiggle...
    And sometimes, just sometimes I get an insatiable urge to use the brakes with my left foot.. and the more i tell myself not to the harder it is!
    Jesus i'm fair odd reading back on that!

    I did not know that at all :O I'm gonna look into it now though :)
    Do you know what station it was?

    Volume on everything I use has to be set at a number that ends in '0' or '5'. Otherwise I'll get twitchy and won't be able to enjoy it half as much.

    I wear disposable latex gloves (surgical kind) when I'm cooking, especially if there's meat involved.

    I HAVE to shower at least twice daily. If I don't, I feel like I cannot function. The shower first thing in the morning is of vital importance. I won't leave the house unless I'm freshly showered and wearing clean, fresh underwear (as well as my normal clothes; this is AH after all). It's no joke. I will not do anything else in the day before I've showered. End of. Even if I wake up half an hour late for work, I will shower before I leave instead of tearing straight in.

    When I'm playing poker, I never look at my hand until it is my turn to act. Ever.

    Yankee Candles; there's always at least 4 of them in my apartment. 2 lighting and 2 spares. Love them.

    I set a trip counter on my car every time I fill the tank to see how much I get out of a full tank and then decide which garages have the "better" fuel on average. (Hank Hill would be proud).

    Symmetry.
    I feel very anxious when things are not at least somewhat symmetrical.

    Ravens like to kill new born lambs , another fact


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,601 ✭✭✭Lyssa


    When I load the dishwasher, I sort the cutlery in the cutlery basket, forks go together , knives go in another section of the basket, together... really irritates me when someone else loads the dishwasher, I usually unpack it and do it again before I run it...

    I hate stepping on the lines between tiles, always have to step on the middle of the tile haha, same thing with footpaths :P

    I pretty much do these as well but i have to set the volume to number that is not a mulitple of multiple or 5 or an even number.

    I only started to whole shower into he morning thing a few months ago but now i find it impossibly hard to leave the house without having one.

    Heard they get issued 100 new ones per month. They're not allowed to exceed 14,268 though.

    that is such a strange obsession! are you a numberphile? perhaps your strangeness would be better served studying maths :)

    Coming from a architecture background anything I design needs to have perfect symmetry, like a Gothic church, if there's any curves or anything fancy I tend to not like it as much as something that doesn't

    Symmetry and even numbers. Hate odd numbers and disjointedness. *shiver*

    I used to do this until someone told me that that's a bad idea because the cutlery is more likely to stick to each other then and therefore won't get cleaned properly.
