Six Quirks

Uncle Pete has instructed me to write about six unspectacular quirks of mine. Not only do I always follow directions from my uncles, but I didn’t have anything else to write about. From his blog:

Here are the directions:

  1. Link the person who tagged you
  2. Mention the rules on your blog
  3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours
  4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them & leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they have been tagged.
  1. I am very indecisive about things that don’t actually matter. 

    For instance: where and what to eat. Usually, when I go into a restaurant, I challenge the cashier/server to “surprise me.” They usually look at me as if I had asked them to give me their firstborn.  I visit a couple of different coffee shops while at work on a regular basis. They know me by name (it’s kind of sad). When I walk in, they usually have a drink ready for me. It took a while, but I finally convinced them that they could make me any drink they wanted, and I would like it. So far I haven’t been disappointed.

    Another thing I do to avoid unnecessary decisions is to limit my wardrobe.  Since I wear a uniform each day, my work clothes are taken care of. I have three pairs of pants and two pairs of shorts that I wear away from work. I have about 10 black undershirts and 10 white undershirts. All 20 of my shirts match all of my pants and shorts. It is very uncommon to see me in something other than a plain white or black shirt. 
     

  2. I am much more likely to be productive if I have a to-do list to follow.

    Michelle and I have a program on our iPhones called ZenBe. It’s basically a to-do list application, but it allows us to send the lists to each other’s phone. She’ll usually send me a list each day so I don’t sit around on my butt.
     
  3. The improper use of an apostrophe really annoys me.

    For whatever reason, it really annoys me when people use an apostrophe incorrectly. It also annoys me when people use the words “they’re” “there” “their” “your” and “you’re” incorrectly. 
     

  4. It drives me crazy when things tug on my skin.

    If Michelle and I are holding hands, or she has her legs propped up on my legs, it annoys me so much if her skin tugs on my skin.
     

  5. I refuse to pay for something when I can do it myself. 

    Due to this quirk, I have learned several new skills. I started cutting my own hair once I moved out of my parent’s house. (Mom used to cut my hair.) And I learned some mechanic skills after buying my current truck.
     

  6. I don’t like people.

    I typically don’t like people. It’s usually nothing personal, I just tend to not like people.

Per the instructions, I’m supposed to tag six other bloggers and tell them to write about their unspectacular quirks. I don’t know six other people who blog on a regular basis, so I will skip this step.

  1. I’m guessing you don’t know six other people who blog regularly because you don’t like people :)

    Actually, I was lucky to come up with the six. Glad I was tagged early in the process.
