Anyone have little quirks that they know of or have been pointed out to them?

I'll go first, I sneeze in three's

I turn my dinner plate round full circle before I dive in

My bed has to be straight otherwise I feel off balance

I used to spin a pen between my fingers during meetings until it was poured out to me

My work computer desk has to be set up so that I can work left handed, and I get irate if someone used my desk when I am away and messes it up!! I am ambidextrous, but I usually favour my right.

I'm autistic, I am one big quirk! According to other people, that is. We think we're normal

Most of my stims I do at home away from public eyes. Repetative hand movements is probably the most significant one.

I sneeze in 3’s. Occasionally it will only be 1 or 2, but mainly 3’s.

I do this thing where I pucker my lips for no reason and I'm not sure what the trigger is. Even my nephew picked up on it and started copying me.

Also, when opening a chocolate bar, I always have to open at the top wear the glue is stuck and open it along down the seam

Get a bite guard, your dentist probably recommended one. The back of my front teeth is surprisingly worn away from it (the clenching, not the bite guard)

My wife does this, I never understood it; why would you want to leave the things you'll enjoy most until you are full up and don't really wanna eat anything?

Flip it around. Why would you want to spoil the taste of the good things by following them with the less nice things.

I always manage to eat everything off the plate. The secret is not to overload it.

Is it ok to ask how you manage to turn off the stirs in public? Do you have to work at that?

I do it too, it makes no sense as I do get full easy but it’s just something I can’t stop.

We're all over the kink community too, I had never realised (mind you i never realised I was Autistic so you know ) that neurodiversity was so common in both communities or maybe they are just communities that encourage openness?

Anyway, quirks? Loads, I could singlehandedly take this thread up to 175 if I started listing them all

When eating, I like a bit of everything on my fork, if possible and make sure I save the best bit of each thing for the last mouthful... I never sneeze just once... I hate people messing up my work space, especially the boxing area, it really pisses me off

I don't like beans or tinned spaghetti sauce on fried eggs, they have to be away from each other on the plate.

Strong mints make me sneeze.

I usually sneeze in threes, two and then a gap till the third comes.

I only ever drink half a cup of tea. This annoys people greatly and no one understands it, not even me.

I have a sneeze like a pixie

I'll tend to eat a bit of everything on my plate together.

I always salute magpies and try to avoid a line of three drains
