Re: Weird Quirks
I have issues with textured food. Oatmeal, cottage cheese, sometime yogurt if it has bits of fruit in it skeeve me out.
I have a compulsion to fix items on the store shelves if they are out of order. One of DH's friends used to work at 7-11. We would go visit him and I would fix the shelves while we were there. DH still makes fun of me for it.
I have to have a fan going every night when I go to sleep. It doesn't even need to be blowing on me, it just needs to be on.
I love chinese food and pork fried rice, but I can't actually eat the pork. I pile it all on the side of my plate.
I used to open all of the mcnuggets to see if they were dark meat. I couldn't eat them if they were dark meat. If I bite into something and feel something chewy I cannot finish it. I will usually stop eating the rest of my meal because I'm skeeved out.

I also "fix" items on store shelves. Especially candy at checkout lines--that is how I entertain myself when waiting for my turn and sometimes I can't finish and it upsets me the rest of the day.
I had a BF in high school that did the McNugget thing. He would buy the 20-piece just to get 6-8 "acceptable" nuggets and throw out the rest!

I don't like chunks.
When I have chips with salsa, I only dip into the juice. If I get a chunk I have to wipe it off. When I eat pasta, the chunks of tomatoes is piled on the side of my plate when i'm done. Etc.
My food can't be touching on my plate unless it's 'supposed' to (Ex. Pasta/Sauce, Chili/rice...). For example, if I make chicken cutlets, corn and mashed potatoes, when my plate is 'full', it's actually neat little piles of food, sectioned off so butter from the corn won't accidentally hit gravy from mashed potatoes or the chicken.
I can go on and on. I have major food issues.
ETA: Pretty much when i'm done with ANY sort of meal, there's usually a pile of unwanted stuff on the side of my plate. I am seriously picky.
I could of wrote this! My In-laws make fun of me, because they learn something new about my likes and dislikes of food everyday. They said I should write a list for everyone. LOL

Re: Weird Quirks
I can't stand the feel of cardboard or steak knives with wooden handles. Skeeves me beyond. Also holding a Popsicle stick same thing.

Re: Weird Quirks
I hate when a fork or spoon hits someones teeth. Like nails on a chalk board.
I hate when cabinets and drawers are left open. I close them as soon as I'm done. If DH leaves them open, I shut it, sometimes even if he's not done with the cabinet/drawer. LOL I used to do the same at my parents house. My mom loved to cook, I'd go visit and as she's cooking, I'm slamming cabinets. LOL.
If I'm having french fries, I'd much rather dip them in a sauce (BBQ, Sweet & Sour, Ranch, or Honey Mustard) rather than ketchup.
I have to have ketchup on my egg sandwiches.
I have to have cheese on all my sandwiches! I LOVE cheese! LOL

Pickles disgust me. If I order something that I know comes with pickle on the side, I specifically request that it doesn't. If a pickle is on my plate and I'm with DH, he has to remove it from my plate and I will place a wad of napkins where the pickle was so that way it will cover the stench. Then, I will smell every bite of food to make sure there isn't any pickle juice on whatever I'm eating. Even the cook at the cafe in my office building knows not to give me pickles. Yesterday, someone else made my lunch and they put a pickle in the container and before he handed it to me, he checked for the pickle (it was there  ) and removed it and any remnants of juice. Ugh makes me want to puke just thinking about it.
I do this exact same thing!

I also hate the feeling of wool or scratchy blankets. My parents have a couch with this horrible fabric and I put a blanket over it b/c I can't sit on it. 
I'm this way with cotton balls, the feel of the really dense ones. Ughh the thought sends chills down my spine. When I was younger my brother found out and threw them all over my bed.
I'm the same way. I hate cotton balls. I cringe whenever the dentist puts them in my MOUTH. that's the worst.

Re: Weird Quirks
I can't believe I forgot this one-
I hate when people chew ice. It makes my teeth hurt just listening to it. I can't stand popsicles either.

Yep, here too. Actually pickled anything can bring on the dry heaves. My mother used to eat pickled eggs, pickled hot peppers, pickled pigs' feet, pickled herring, you name it while sitting beside me. I was convinced she was punishing me for something.
I won't eat the tomato chunks in sauce, that's just a consistency thing.
I hate iceberg lettuce. Tastes like dirty water.
I eat almost NO condiments. BBQ sauce is about it.
I will not eat canned tuna because it reminds my of cat food.
I HATE when people cough really LOUD with a little extra throat clearing on the end.
I do not like strangers/acquaintances to hug me.

I read in a book once when I was a kid that you should say "Rabbit Rabbit" on the first of each month and I've said it (in my head) every single month for at least 20 years.
 this made me laugh so hard because I do this too!! Been saying it for as long as I can remember

Re: Weird Quirks
I definitely have a lot of quirks.
I don't like odd numbers, they make me uncomfortable. If I am pumping gas and it stops pumping on an odd amount I have to top off until its even. It bothers me to stay in a hotel room that is an odd number, I feel like something bad will happen.
I like tomato sauce, but I can't have a lot of it or I won't eat whatever it's on. I order my pizza with light sauce.
If I come into a bathroom and the lid of the toilet is up I have to meticulously check for spiders before I can sit down. In my bathroom at home its really hard for me to feel comfortable sitting down if I come in and the lid is up.
If I am doing something difficult (mentally or physically) I always end up with my tongue sticking out. DH loves to point it out because he thinks its cute. Doing it in front of him is fine, but sometimes I'll realize I've been doing it for a while in a public place and I get embarrassed.

Re: Weird Quirks
I like egg salad, but I can't watch it be made. The whole visual of the clump of mayonnaise falling in the bowl, and then all the eggs getting mashed together with the mayo.. ICKKKKK ... However, it tastes delicious!!

I have to sleep with a glass of water next to my bed. Even if I have no intention of drinking it, I cannot sleep unless it's there.

Re: Weird Quirks
I feel so much better reading this! I have major food issues. I am so glad to see others have the same tomato issues I do. I totally skeeve the seeds, skin, etc. I will only eat my sauce and my moms because of this. Chunks make me want to vomit. I'll only have smooth taco sauce, no salsa. Makes eating pizza very annoying. I have to pick out all the chunks.
I don't eat eggs. The idea repulses me.
I hate any dessert made with cheese. Canoli's, cheesecake, etc.
I can only eat whipped yogurt, not regular and can only eat chocolate pudding, no other flavor of pudding because it grosses me out. Oh and cottage cheese
I cannot eat chicken off the bone.
If I eat cream cheese on a bagel it has to be a super thin layer.

Re: Weird Quirks
I won't eat Peanut Butter. I hate it.
I would eat cream cheese & Jelly lunch while my sister had PB&J.
I put milk in cereal but I dump the milk when the cereal is done. I just use it to wet the cereal.
I love mint chip ice cream, but I won't eat the chips. Same goes for the chocolate chunks in Cherry Garcia.
The only cola I will drink is Coke, otherwise I just have seltzer or water.
