Okay, so we all have our little weirdnesses. Things that we keep to ourselves because, if we told other people about them, they'd give us the and we'd never be able to look them in the eye again.

Mine is that I have crazy rules for wearing black clothing. The blacks must match. Or, if they don't, the mismatch has to be obvious (a substantially different texture or at least several shades different, but with the same underlying "flare" color).

Even if I'm not going anywhere - just sitting on my couch at home - in black pants and a black tee, the blacks must match. If they don't, they have to be separated by an article of clothing in a totally different color. A fuchsia tank under the black tee (for example).

Please tell me about your weirdness, so I won't feel so alone.

Genesia, you don't need to tell us. You need a doctor!

I get really irritated when somebody is smoking if their hair is wet (like out of a shower or at the beach.... or even sweating).

It's seriously a problem with me. I hate it.





Also:


If I'm walking on a floor with a pattern, I tend to follow the pattern in my footsteps. So a checker patterned floor means I walk like a duck.






I can NOT wake up if the clock time ends in a '3'. I have to go back to sleep until I wake up and it's on ANY other time than 3. For example, 3:33 AM or PM would be an absolute nightmare for me.

I MUST take a shower before going to bed at night. I am repulsed at the thought of getting in bed unless I'm clean and that also goes for whomever is sharing my bed. Don't EVEN try to get yo stank, been working all day, ass in my bed unless you trynna catch a beatdown.

I have to do things evenly... I hate odd numbers!

I HAVE to hairspray my hair, if I dont I feel ugly

OMG, I have a hard time sleeping on sheets that are not white.


If the sheets are brown or green you can forget my prospects of falling asleep.

Colors don't bother me but thread count is quickly becoming an issue.

I eat my cheeto puffs like corn on the cob...

i only sleep with mammals. i'm weird like that.

AAAAAUUUUUGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!

TheVoid said:

I have this one, too. Know why? Because white sheets can be bleached and are therefore cleaner than some stank colored sheets you can't disinfect.

Genesia said:

Thats why i wash mine in HOT water...

SCNDLS said:

I like at least a 600 thread count.
If it's below 350 then I have issues with comfort.


I know folks who can't tell the difference

TheVoid said:

I can sleep on 400 but thats the lowest!

Genesia said:

I owned 'Kenmore Elite' washers/dryers. There's a 'sheet' setting where it will wash your linens at boiling hot temperatures for an hour to disinfect anything on them (ANYTHING). It's actually brilliant.

But I still can't sleep on colored sheets. They must be white.


And lawd, you should see what happens if I have to sleep under smurf blankets.

Damn, we some bougie muhhfuckas

I’ve got to have some, but I can’t for the life of me think of anything.

I saw a 150 thread count sheet once at Walmart (very very good price for the sheet), but I kept thinking, "150 thread count? Shit, a canvas shopping bag is at least 200 "

Don't be brining them to Thailand with you

TheVoid said:

Omg can you imagine how bad that would pill!! I wont even put that shit in a guest room!

TheVoid said:

I can tell the difference, but I’m not bothered by the lower ones. And I have no idea what the thread count is on the sheets I have at home. For all I know they’re “horrible”. But I like ‘em.

CarrieMpls said:

low thread count sheets will feel better over time. So if you have really old linens, even cheap old ones will soften and feel ok over time.


But lawd, 800+ count Egyptian cotton....

TheVoid said:

Thinking back, I’m pretty sure I gave you lime green sheets when you were at my house.

SCNDLS said:

I'm so bougie, my sheets don't even have a thread count. (Linen never does.)

CarrieMpls said:

Sheets were the least of my worries. Sugargirls constant staring me down like she was planning various ways to slit my throat...that was what kept me up.

Genesia said:

Damn, ya'll are high falutin'!

FREAKS

I don't think that's weird at all. When blacks don't match, it stands out like a sore thumb.
I've left the house and noticed that my blacks don't match in daylight (damn dim house!). I'll go back in and change. I might run into someone like "us" who'll notice!

I CANNOT leave the house unless my shoes match my outfit. Not just the color hookup, but the style as well. I can't get out of the door.
I've had clothes in my closet for months until I found the right shoes for them.

My supervisor will wear a business suit with cheap flip-flops. I'd try to cut my feet off before I'd be seen like that!

I'm struggling right now because I fractured my ankle and have to wear sneakers with my brace.

I have this fetish where sometimes I make love to my own hand.
