    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.

    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.

    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.

    Vultures & ravens (hence the username)
    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.


    Ravens like to kill new born lambs , another fact

    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 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.

    Finding everyone comments interesting :) want know how many sim cards you think each network has?

    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


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 390 ✭✭kat.mac


    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.

    I looove building corners when they line up with other building corners. Like if you drew a line from the corner of one building to the corner of another, and if the line was in line with the wall of the building... It makes me happy..

    :'(

    I spend hundreds of pounds sterling every year on a club who've been marooned in the English second tier for the last 14 years.

    That's my only weird obsession.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,002 ✭✭✭jay-me


    I count the numerals on car reg plates.. Looking for those ever elusive 6 numeral ones. Found a few too :o

    - I can't leave the house without music like ipod or etc.. if I leave it I have to go back and get it or I won't leave without it.
    - I have to have plates aligned in order of size when putting them away or on the washing board like the smaller plates together than the medium size etc. and all the cutlery not mixed together.
    - I hate spelling words wrong and if I'm unsure of the spelling I have to google it to make sure I spell it right.

    That's normal.

    I like names to be even so if I meet someone who is called "John Brown" for example, he will forever after be known in my head as "A John Brown" because then its 5 and 5.

    If someone has two odd number names such as "Johny Collins" that's acceptable because I can add them and divide by two but if you have an even and an odd I will find it hard to like you. If I can find out your second and confirmation name and make it fit then I'll be happy.

    Yes I know its weird, my friends know its weird and the ones with even names know I like them better than the ones with odd.

    When walking on a pavement, I modify my stride to account for the size of pavement blocks or cement breaks. For example, it needs to be 3 strides for every 4 breaks or something. I go for a middle ground between a solid pattern and what is comfortable.
