10 Quirky things about me and then some

I've noticed recently that many fellow bloggers have posted unknown facts about themselves, especially to fulfil an award requisite or for a survey.  I thought it may be fun to do the same.
You should all know by now that I'm a neat freak, Sometimes my daughter accuses me of living in a showpiece home, but "I like things a certain way."
She on the other hand has some semblance of order to the chaos in her room, I don't know how she manages...that apple did fall far from the tree in this case.
Okay, back to me....some of my friends will know a few details about me, but some not so much.
So here goes, in no particular order:

1.    Whenever I'm finished using a match to light a burner on the stove, I ALWAYS make sure it's fully extinguished by dipping it in a water puddle in the sink drain.

2.   When I'm about to turn my oscillating fan off, I ALWAYS make sure it is facing front before hitting the off button.

3.   I have  a thing for getting the first Word Verification codes that pop up for blog comments right the first time around.

I don't like to see the words in red above.

4.   I'm a stickler for time, and to this end, my friends call me a time management specialist behind my back...they think I don't know.
If we arrange to meet for 10am, then it's 10am in my book....call if you're running late.  Time is such a precious commodity, I hate wasting time.

When I worked in the corporate world, many employees took pride in their "busy work."

 5.  One of my pet peeves is leaving dirty dishes in the sink at night. I always think that the water supply may be off the following morning, so it's always best to go to bed with a clean sink. I like a clean sink.

6.  When using a bar of soap, I like to wash it off clean until there is no tell-tale lather left, that way it's nice and neat for when I use it again. I do prefer body wash, but sometimes I have to revert to a good soapy scrub after some serious gardening.

7.   When parallel parking in a spot, I like to complete it on the first attempt.

 

Park Assist would freak me out

8.   I can't lie in bed after the sun comes up.

 Hey the sun is up! So am I!

 I feel as if I'm missing out on life if I waste a day lying around being lazy.
If I'm in bed during the day, I am not feeling well.
My belief is that we can all sleep when we're dead.

9.   My analytical mind gets me in trouble sometimes, for I hate something to bug me whereby I can't solve a problem. I pick radios apart, fiddle around with my pc programs till they're working again, and generally play Ms.McGuyver.

 

 I like to know what makes things tick and tock, or NOT.

I have spent many a night in bed solving a problem in my head to work on next day.

10.  I don't care for rude people, and I don't hesitate to let them know it.

Life is too short to allow yourself to be bombarded with rude ridiculous people.

As an added bonus:

11.  I have never learned to curse.  My friends have told me I sound very "wrong" uttering profanities.

12.  All the hangers in my wardrobe face the same way.

Maybe now, after reading this, you are thinking I am too quirky to be your friend........but hey, most of my friends are quite quirky too, but that's why I love them.
