Some of the oddities that I've observed include the following: flossing your teeth with a strand of hair, separating recyclables when they go in one bin at the dump, forgetting to ask where your locker is located and going without for two years because your too embarrassed to ask, saving technical gadgets because they cost so much when you bought them, rolling Kleenex into a cone shape to clean your nostrils, storing new clothes for years until the old ones wear out and thereby being arrayed in rags.
What eccentricities do you have? Which have you observed?
Eccentric literally means out of center. When everyone else is on the straight and narrow, you wobble a little out of kilter. Eccentric people put leftovers into smaller containeers even though they make gobs of dirty dishes, they change their outfits more than three times before going to work, they make the bed even though they are going to tear it apart and sleep in it that night, they eat the food on their plate in a particular order, or they don't allow adjacent food to touch, or they mix it all together and put it on crackers. Eccentric people tuck in their hands when they sleep because who knows what might grab them in the middle of the night. My God, it sounds like our family.
ReplyDeleteI love the cone shaped tissue one, haha! I do that daily.
ReplyDeleteWhat about making sure you have nice underwear on and have your legs shaved in case you die that day?? lol
