Before the racing started i`m hanging my washing up to dry and as ever i have to hang my socks up in the correct pairs, i could never just hang them willy nilly. I finished up and thought of what a weirdo i am.
Other things: Brown shoes. I hate brown shoes. Also shoe related...women with loud shoes, when they walk you get that high pitched clicking noise, sets my teeth grinding that one.

So what are your strange obsessions/hates? Or what is the weirdest thing about you?
 
I detest feet. Obviously I'm fine with my own, and I can tolerate the childrens feet, moreso when they're babies. But I cannot stand to be anywhere near Mr GG's feet. If they touch me I scream, even in bed they have to be kept away from me. I cannot ever look at them without feeling ill. He hasn't got any nasty fungal infections or deformities, they're just feet and I hate them. I'd be the same with anyone elses feet. I leave the room if he's cutting his toenails and he cannot sit next to me bare foot because that way I'd have to see them.

He thinks it's funny :angry:
 
I have issues with animations.

Took me about three years to be able to watch the Simpsons without feeling physically ill.
 
On a similar theme,when I was a kid I used to watch the Pink Panther cartoon.
There was one episode (it was after Inspector Clouseau) where he spoke.
For some strange reason I was petrified of hearing his voice,so when the episode after Clouseau came on I used to hide in the pantry in case it was that episode.
 
I used to love them as a kid. Stoppit & Tidyup was the best thing on TV when I was a young 'un. I reckon it was stumbling across a Monty Python cartoon before my time that did it...

The Gorillaz scare the hell out of me.
 
Thought of another thing while I was bathing the kids. I hate swimming pools and swimming in general. I can think of nothing worse than going swimming for fun, people who do that are obviously insane. Swimming is something that ought to be done if ever one was in a drowning situation or their boat sank (I wouldn't ever get on a boat for this to occur). It took many years of swimming lessons as a child before I learnt, the whole thing terrified me.

This in turn has meant that I have never taken the children swimming, something that I wish I was brave enough to do. They love going to the leisure centre with Mr GG and they love swimming pools on holidays. I can't watch them, they might drown, and so might all the other kids in the pool too :rolleyes:

I can tolerate paddling pools and hot tubs though :confused:
 
I've got a similar one - I hate driving over bridges above rivers.

Which is particularly annoying as I'm going to Uni in Rochester next year and intend to be driving home a lot of course it's on the other side of the sodding Thames with the biggest bitch of a bridge I've ever seen inbetween....and seems to have nose-to-tail traffic jams on it the whole time....argh!
 
I can turn myself inside out but it's difficult to keep my intestines from spilling out all over the shop.

I can do that but I can't walk under railway bridges for fear of trains falling on my head :what:
 
I tried hypnotherapy to get me through the excruciatingly inconvenient phobia of not being able to walk across railed or low-sided bridges. I also had a fear of falling through elevator floors, and for the week I was staying at an American hotel with one of those ghastly glass-sided things, I had to eventually take the steel-sided service lift. Helpful black kitchen staff would say "Yo in the wrong elevator, honey" and I had to explain the phobia. They looked a bit bug-eyed and edged away from me after that.

I went to visit the Clifton Suspension Bridge with friends who thought I'd be impressed by it. I was. I couldn't even get with 100 feet of the start of the damn thing. What a ridiculous piece of architecture - clearly not built with the vertiginous in mind!

I have my clothes and shoes arranged by type and colour. I am currently disposing of all plastic hangers in favour of nice wood ones. I have little plastic baskets inside the chest of drawers to separate underwear items, pop socks from real socks, and so on. They also separate types of food items in the fridge. My books are arranged by subject and descending size within the subject, though I haven't yet instigated a Dewey Decimal system for locating them. I file all my paperwork in file cabinets, just like I did when I worked. Apart from that, and a shared hatred of feet (why do the people with the most disgusting toenails insist on wearing sandals?), I'm very easy-going and laid back. <_<
 
the purest horror of my life was
climbing the steep and narrow stairway to the top platform of St. Peters dome in Rome.
i am still happy to haved survived this torture.
 
I think the feet thing is pretty commonplace - very few people have beautiful feet!

Can't stand grey shoes on men. Men who wear socks with sandals shouldn't be bred from.

Women over 40 who have long hair (longer than shoulder length) and insist on wearing it loose. Erm, no - must be such a let down for a bloke if seen first from the rear and then they turn around...... Fine if worn in a up-do, though - that's elegant and chic in the main!

Am not too keen on those really huge cranes towering above me. Wouldn't bother me a bit to actually be up in the control box, though anyone in the vicinity would be right to be worried!!

I brush my teeth with hot water.

Doesn't everyone? :unsure:

I otherwise feel pretty lucky not to suffer from any phobia. Feet have never bothered me but I understand the bridges thing. I often wonder if I'm taking a bend on a motorway ramp at 70mph with only a metal fence between myself and likely oblivion whether the fence will actually take the impact.

I disagree. Some women well over 40 or even 50 would easily pass for much younger and can look really good with their hair down.
 
I don't like driving over large expanses of water.
I eat food in a certain order - least liked thing on the plate first - and never mix anything together, and always pick any pieces of meat out and save them to last.
Can't watch anyone eating prawns - makes me feel sick.

I'm with you on this one Jules. Ever since I saw that Hitchcock movie I am terrfied of huge birds. Sometimes I dream a huge bird is pulling me ...(That's enough- Ed)

Ah, well - perhaps that qualifies as the weirdest thing about me, then ...

(Although, why I should have my hair cut - or resort to headmistress hairstyles - for the benefit of the male population, I really don't know :D )
 
Wouldn't make any difference if I had short hair............they'd still be disappointed so I'm with Muttley!

Sorry, Mutley, that was very un-PC of me - I should have said men and/or women might be let down.... B)
 
HunneyB, your meal time quirks reminded me of another one. I'm not as particular as you but like you, I go for the least liked things first and towards the end of a meal HAVE to plot out what I can eat with what to ensure finishing the meal on a particularly high note.

With sandwiches and burgers this means I usually eat the edges first so you don't finish on a bit of bread with minimal filling.
