How Deep is Your Eccentricity?
-
Surprised I never saw this thread. How deep is my Eccentricity? I'll start with very deep. I don't have enough time to start with it now. Okay, I'll start with when I find a style of jeans I like I buy multiple pairs, as I don't want to be without them. Then next I don't think one can ever have too many denim shirts. Hows that for a starter?
-
@ROman there's nothing wrong with buying multiples of the same jeans.
The rest of you bastards are crazy. -
Yeah, just last night I was thinking that if I had known how much I would like the jeans I was wearing, I would have bought at least two, probably three pairs.

This one doesn’t keep me up at night, and it’s not a knock on the IH crew at all (thank you for the endless pimpage over the last year), but it definitely causes a little mental discomfort to see the IH logo on my Heavyweight snaps not all perfectly facing the same direction. Again it doesn’t keep me from wearing the shirts and I hope you don’t hate me for mentioning….
I think it’s a bit like @Chris thoughts on watch’s screw head direction

I find myself starting to count the number of steps whenever I go up a flight, have to tell myself to stop….
I find myself checking to make sure my coffee maker is unplugged and that the stove is turned off, like 2 or 3 times before I leave my place ???

i think that's pretty normal. sometimes i take 2 steps at a time, to see if i can still do multiplications in my head..

When I eat Skittles, I eat them one color at a time, in ROYGBIV order. Oh, and in groups of four Skittles at a time.
-
you're kidding? I hope?

The volume on the tv, hifi, or car stereo has to be set to an even number only. It would be fricking mental not to.
Shoe leather, belt leather, and jacket leather has to be the same colour…tan boots and black belt...just why? Why would you?!

Lately I am having to park dead straight on my driveway.

omg. when i was about 14/15 at a church camp. this chick i knew would only eat blue M&Ms. i don't know why because they're all chocolates in different colours rather than different flavours like skittles..
You're fucked up…..
I know, right? That’s not multiplication, just adding 2 instead of 1!
hahaha well it goes 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16.. and some times i get distracted and forget what number i get too..

So you…mix flavors? ??? ??? :o
-
Mix flavors? What kind of an animal do you think I am?
It's four reds at a time until they're gone, then four orange, etc., etc…

I do this with pretty much every candy I eat (most notably Sour Patch Kids or Gold Bears), except I just eat em in order of preference. It does shift, but the one thing for sure is that I'll always eat orange SPKs last
My big one is that I have to put my left shoe on first. I remember hearing when I was a kid that some baseball player did it for good luck (as they all do via various superstitious methods), and my brain was just like "Yes. I'll do that." Now, 30ish years later, I literally can't do it any other way. The few times I've caught myself putting on a shoe with the right foot, I stop and do it "correctly," haha…
-
Not that I'm big on candy, but red+purple Skittle "sandwiches" are palatable.

First, what a relief to know that everyone else is nuts too. I could have my own private forum to list all of my eccentricities. My wife calls it "hoarding," I call it "archiving." She calls it "neurotic," I call it "eccentric." So right there, did you see? I MUST put the commas and periods inside the parentheses and, furthermore, I must use the Oxford comma (that's the one that goes before the "and" in any proper list.) (<–-and that's the proper place for the period inside the parentheses.) Shall I go on?
Also, very, very well-made things. Japanese national treasure traditions, bespoke Saville Row, boutique brewed IPAs, you name it. I don't need to own these things but I do need to obsess over them. Shall we add boots, jeans, leather jackets, and bicycles, especially older classic race bikes from 1940-1980? Books. I'm a Sanskrit professor who teaches Hinduism and Buddhism, works in Classics too: I love old dictionaries, smelly old books from India (the bindings, the paper), and reprints from Japan. Put the utter chaos of India next to the perfect order of Japan and that pretty much describes my "eccentricity."
