Tell Us Three (3) Weird Things About Yourself
If there are not three (3) things, or, nothing:eyebrow:, weird about you, you must post a picture of a spatula.
1. I sort my M&Ms by color and eat them according to numbers, from least to most.
2. If I'm eating plain M&Ms, I always put several blue ones in my glass of milk.
3. I never eat M&Ms from the package. I pour them into a bowl, onto a napkin/paper towel, or onto the table.
But what are the weird things?
Oh, man. That ain't even the tip of that iceberg.
1.) I abhor the sound of doorbells. I've disconnected them in every house we've lived in.
2.) I find it fascinating to weigh myself just before and after using the toilet.
3.) I am extremely good at recognizing faces, but extremely bad at placing them in context. If I've seen you before, ever, I will instantly know it--but I'll have no idea if you're my kid's teacher or someone who stood in line with me at the grocery store ten years ago.
2.) I find it fascinating to weigh myself just before and after using the toilet.
Heh...Urrbody likes losing weight.:rolleyes:
1. I don't wear a watch, so i have clocks in most of the rooms in my house.
2. it doesn't bother me that they all read a slightly different time.
3. Daylight savings is kind of a pain in the ass, as they are all cheap battery powered clocks.
1. I'm a freak when it comes to breakfast. I like routine. I won't flip out if my routine is broken, but I will always choose the same thing. Used to be Wheaties. Now it's cinnamon in hot oat bran and two egg casserole slices.
2. My big toes each point inward at a 30 degree angle as if my feet had been jammed into too tight shoes my entire childhood.
3. I geek out on certain things for a year or so before moving on to the next thing. Now it's planning and gearing up for backpacking. Previously there was a bandsaw, car tinkering, growing tomatoes, etc etc
I can't burp
I also don't wear a watch and have clocks everywhere which don't all say exactly the same time. That doesn't bother me, as long as none of them are slow.
I hate using a microphone and generally refuse.
We have at least one clock in every room.
Counting the clocks on digital thermometers, and the one in the corner of my 'puter screen, I can see seven clocks from the computer desk.
That they don't all show the same time irritates.
The clock in my office is 5 minutes slow and I dont care.

Mama passed along a dirty time compulsion that is hurtful and strange. My bedroom clock is sync'd to the time signal from WWVB. I make sure every device is on the network time if possible. I calculate my departure according to when Google maps says I'll arrive. If I am five minutes late to an appointment or rendezvous, I am keenly aware.
Beware of Google travel predictions, it gave me Philly to GA time and distance which averaged 70mph, and Philly to TX which averaged 65mph. Both are impossible.
Left shoe or glove first , I will take them both off and restart if i have to
dont you dare touch or move my glasses , there have been fights and harsh words over this , i dont care how young , old , or what your rank is
i can whip out a good loud Marine command voice to be heard in almost ANY situation
I always see the GPS predicted arrival time as a challenge. Is that bad? :D
[COLOR="PaleTurquoise"]I hate the GPS. I need it to be wrong.[/COLOR]
then dont update it , the roads around here have changed , its funny to watch the gps freak out because it thinks your driving thru a farm field ,
" recalculating , take cr 237 , recalculating , take cr 982 , " and the directional arrow freaking out
ours does the opposite, tries to send you through fields on roads that were never built/completed. And finds our lack of faith disturbing.
Tech issues:
1) I will not use voice interfaces. Siri is the first thing I disable on a phone. The idea of Alexis gives me the creeps let alone being in a house that uses it. The human voice is too intimate to share with our AI masters.
2) I generally have zero interest in new functionality.
3) Give me a new interface and you've ruined my day. I learn only what I need to about the systems I use, there is no explore or get familiar with.
It has become apparent that I am not future man.
I'm with you on #1 except for in the car. "ok google navigate home"
The boss has alexa all over. The office had to learn to say "alexa stop" in his office door whenever the alarm goes off and he's not there. Which is, you know, almost every day. "alexa shut the fuck up" also works.
"alexa shut the fuck up" also works.
Does it? That's hilarious.
Echo is an alternate name for alexa.

yeah. that's weird
1) The length of the individual digits of my left and right hands are not equal (for example, my left pinky is not equal in length to my right pinky) however the sum of the length of the digits on each hand is equal to the other.
2) When planning a project of moderate-to-severe importance, I sequence the events as a series of tasks which can be described with an acronym. If the acronym does not take the form of a palindrome, I whisper the project scope into a glass jar, leave it out overnight, and at dawn of the next day I observe the frost patterns on the jar for signs that indicate whether I'm over-complicating things.
3) I did not pass through normal developmental phases as a toddler. I began walking, but never crawled. I didn't begin speaking until I was able to form complete sentences.

These are both common for folks on the spectrum, my friend. :)
1) I have an obsessive need to own analogue synthesizers, despite the fact that I cannot actually *play* them in anything but a rudimentary fashion. Fortunately, they've gotten a lot more affordable thanks to modern technology.
2) I have no real conception of my age beyond the physical deterioration. I still feel and think the same as I always remember feeling and thinking. In my mind, I'm still sixteen or something.
3) I have habitually twisted and squished my ears since I was an infant. Like some people twist their hair or suck their thumbs, I'm an ear squisher. This has resulted in my ears looking as though I was a boxer or a wrestler, and I have, in fact, been asked about that dozens of times throughout my life.

all of this, but especially #1

Oooh that reminds me, the nail beds on my right hand are significantly longer than those on my left, especially the pinkie finger. this is my new #2, the old one is toast
never could tell the difference between a nail and a screw, always mixed the two together
It was all that screwing around while she was getting nailed.
1. I put 2 - 3 dried cherries in my ginger ale because I like watching them go up and down as they cover over w/bubbles. Ehr ma Gerd, berbbles!!!
2. I don't hold plastic drinking cups with any finger on a seam.
3. If I get a drink from a fast food joint, I will only hold/drink from the paper cup with my thumb on the paper seam. Never a different finger.
1. When I drink beer from a bottle, I only drink with the label facing away from me.
