He shares in your germaphobia. That's why he never shakes hands with people on "Deal or No Deal" and just offers a fist bump. |

I can "smell" snow. About a day or so before it snows, I will sniff the air and say, "Smells like snow." I rarely miss. |
Me too. The smell is hard to describe tho. |
Ahhh, the smell of ozone. I too can detect approaching precipitation. I've got a negative ion air filter that fill the house with this smell. It even improves my mood.
I'm also able to detect impending storms a day or two ahead of time due to having broken my leg as a child. The intensity of the pain usually corresponds with the severity of the storm. Anyone else have this?

Ah, that explains it. Ya, I'm much happier doing the fist bump too, considering how many guys don't wash their hands after using the restroom. Ewww!!! |

It's not ozone, it's like chewing on tinfoil, but it's a smell. |

Several have talked about depleting batteries - such as in watches.
I have the opposite - I can recharge batteries in my hand - not completely, but they will continue to work for quite a while, even after completely dead.
However, knives and razors get dull almost immediately when I handle them. I am constantly sharpening my kitchen knives and go through razors like crazy.
I have a great numbers memory. As an astrologer, I will remember your birthdate until all eternity, but I have no retention for names. However, I will remember your pets' names. |

- I hate to step in water when I'm wearing only socks on my feet
- I hate the taste and feel of wood (lollypops) / paper (lollies / coffee-cups) / thermo-cups in my mouth (shiver!!!)
- My computer is over-organised, but my paper-administration is a mess
- I have brown spots in my irisses
pfff and lots of more stuff :P

I actually like my wife. Would rather spend time with her (and the dog)than with friends.
I use a right-handed mouse left handed. Always have.
Tunafish, Hamburg Deluxes and BLT's get Miracle Whip. Ham sandwiches, club sandwiches, potato salad and macaroni salad must have mayonaise.

If you have fillings, chewing foil causes an electrical reaction in your mouth, creating tin ions.
Storms create negative ions, which I believe are odorless. I know the sensation you are describing; but always thought it was ozone. Perhaps the nerve endings in our nasal passages are responding to the electrical charges? Maybe there is an expert around who can answer this. |

I'm totally deaf, but I write (and publish, and edit for other published poets) metrical poetry. Not only that, but I can recite it very well, from memory, for hours on end. Many people consider this very odd, though it seems normal to me.
Also, I am convinced that hot drinks when its hot and cold drinks when its cold work best. Equalize temperatures, you know?

OH yeah! Crooked sandwiches are anathema to me also. I will reconstruct them in restaurants/delis if I have to.

I share this one. I once almost pinned my uncle's hand to the table with my fork when he grabbed a french-fry off my plate. I sank the fork a quarter inch into the table top. He never touched my food again.
Since having kids, though, I've learned to overcome a lot of my difficulty with it.
Related to this...I hate pot-luck dinners, buffets, etc. In a situation where people are lining up to fill their plates...I have to be last...no matter how hungry I feel. |

I have to eat most anything, ok everything in even numbers. This includes but is absolutely not limited M&M's, chips, popcorn, veggies on my plate, tomatoes on my salad, how many bites my meat is cut in to. It drives most people nuts... but my mother was the same way and we found out one Thanksgiving that my brother's daughter is too... so I totally blame genetics. And sadly, I've made both my pups this way... lol
I cannot sleep until I have "neat sheets". My partner has just come to accept this.
I cannot buy the first thing on the shelf. It has to be the 2nd or 3rd one back...
All my clothes are organized by color and style. This goes not only to my closet but to the dresser drawers. But the rest of my life is so disorganized that I most often cannot find a thing I'm looking for, my partner knows where everything is thank God.
All the bills in my wallet are arranged for smallest to largest and are all facing the same way. It drives me insane that the money that I take out at an ATM that I have to arrange the bills!
I have a total need to sit with my back against a wall in a restaurant or have an aisle seat. And this is totally due to being a Correction Officer for 20 years...
I too met my partner on line...
There is so much more... I'm so weird...

Huh?? After all those drops in coffee you don't drink any???
I don't usually drink any either, but I'm trying to get back on my diet. If I drink a couple cups in the AM with my oatmeal I don't get hungry again til dinner.
(That is unless a certain SC comes in here and starts talking about M&Ms)

Wow. We must have been separated at birth. Same here!
Before you take this the wrong way, I've never met your wife. |

As for me...
Afraid of phone calls... much prefer to talk in person...
I wash glasses (even those that have been washed) before using them...
Yet, I hate people who clean...

I don't sort my M&Ms since they all taste the same.
But it is the only way to eat Skittles. Mixing Skittles colors is just wrong.

May not be as odd as it used to be, but 7 years later it's fairly rare to last so long. |
I met my wife on the internet. 8 years later we're getting divorced. You've got one more year... tick... tick... tick.... |
Nonono. and you can't talk to my husband either :p~
He wouldn't leave his daughter, and I wouldn't leave without her so I'm probably safe another 15 years or so. :) |

Freaks....relax I'm kidding...kind of.
So I'll play along.
1)I've got a clean, neatly made bed thing as well (I've seen mentioned earlier). I need those sheets tight or it bothers me so much. My wife will purposely kick her socks off on my side of the bed to get under my skin!
2)I've got webbing between some of my toes. Think I'd be a good swimmer...not.
3)I've got this obsessive urge to take pictures.....oh, wait isn't that why wer're all here?

ooh no!
group by color, eat untill there are exactly the same amount of every color. always eat from color you dislike the most, to the color you love most (brown / orange / yellow / green / blue, something like that)
