Idiosyncrasies

As I've been tagged by my husband, here's my list of idiosyncrasies...

1. If a drawer or cabinet door is ajar, I have to close it.

2. I always put on my right sock first, then my left sock. If for some reason I do it backwards, it feels weird.

3. When I traveled more, I would quadruple check that my plane or train ticket was in my purse. I'm not sure where I expected it to GO, after making sure it was there the first time, but I would continue to check multiple times. I have the same OCD trait when it comes to checking other things multiple times.

4. If someone has a new magazine and s/he hasn't looked at it yet, I don't want to look at it until its "owner" has read it first.

5. I refuse to touch an already-opened jar of mayonnaise, on the off-chance there's some on the outside of the container and it gets on me. I will grudgingly touch an unopened jar.

6. I usually have at least three books in rotation. It's rare that I focus on reading one particular book, although it does happen.

7. I sort my email so the newest email is at the bottom of the list/page, rather than at the top.

8. I won't walk under ladders and I try to avoid stepping on cracks.

9. I won't cut my toenails if it's evening. [My grandmother - I think it was her - told me that someone will die if you cut your toenails in the evening. I know that's insane...but better safe than sorry.]

10. When I'm watching TV or listening to the radio and someone uses improper grammar, I correct him/her out loud.
