Does That Make Me Crazy?

When I was driving to work this morning listening to my favorite morning show, one of the DJs asked if it was crazy when she turned off the shower, she used her foot to turn the water knob off instead of her hands...Two of the co-hosting DJs said yes, she was crazy, but the other said no. When they asked her why, she said it was because it was a "germ-thing".

I don't think that is quite that crazy, so I would have told her no, too!

Their conversations got me thinking....is there something that I do that makes me crazy?



I know I do some things that I consider "normal"...but maybe to someone else...maybe a little kooky?? And if there are some things that I do that I question, I KNOW there are some things y'all do that you question!!!! So...I must ask....do the things below make ME crazy?!?!?! (or a little OCD?!? You be the judge!)


1. I'm afraid of tiny clusters of bumps (like on human skin, or a yellow jacket nest, or anything where circles are closely packed together)...it makes my skin crawl. Does that make me crazy? (Y'all...I tried to put a picture on here of what I'm talking about, but I seriously CAN NOT DO IT. CAN NOT!!!!! My skin is crawling right now!!!!)

2. I refuse to touch a bathroom door handle without a paper-towel. I'm paranoid of germs on those things! Does that make me crazy? (I think this makes me health-conscious...not cray!)


3. When I wake up in the morning and go down the dark hallway, I use my iPhone to illuminate my path...just in case someone decides to jump out and get me. Does that make me crazy? (Someone just MIGHT be hiding behind my fikus tree!!!)


4. I go into the room where I get ready in the morning at least four times before I leave for the day, just to make sure I've turned off my flat-iron! I just want to make sure I don't burn down the house!! Does that make me crazy?


5. I will NOT leave a bathroom stall until I know that the toilet has flushed ALL THE WAY. Why do I do this?? It drives me nuts walking into a public bathroom and seeing someone SO LAZY that they couldn't flush. DISGUSTING. 
Does that make me crazy?

6. When my hair is in a pony-tail, I always use FOUR bobbypins. Always. Even if I don't need them. It makes my hair feel secure. 
Does that make me crazy?

7. I REFUSE to watch any movie where I know the main character or pet dies. REFUSE. If you trick me into it, I'll never be your friend again. Disney movies I can deal with because it seems like someone is ALWAYS dying...but they usually aren't the main character. 
Does that make me crazy?

8. I don't do laundry until I run out of clothes. Seriously. I have that many clothes. It's horrible. I then I always complain that I have to spend a whole day doing laundry when I could be out, ironically, shopping. For more clothes, probably. Does that make me crazy?




I want to know...what are some things that you do that make you wonder...Does That Make Me Crazy?







Link up your lists below and let me know!!!

I'm always always afraid I left my flat iron on!! And I loathe laundry too. In fact I started a load like 2 days ago and I haven't finished it yet and I still have plenty to wear. Haha.

Jennifer said...

I always use my phone to light my way in a dark area of the apt too. My husband laughs at me cuz I leap for the switch closest to turn it on too.

Sara said...

I do some of those things. I also had a roommate for a year who NEVER did laundry ONLY bought new clothes!! THEN left them all over her bedroom floor. At least you do laundry. :)

Elisha said...

I use my phone to light the hallway too.. And I check my bathroom constantly too! No worries!

Meg O. said...

My phone is always my flashlight!!

Ang said...

Oh God girl! I do a LOT of these things too - so, if you're crazy... I am too!

CMae said...

We are twinies with your #7. I REFUSE to watch anything where an animal dies or is harmed in a movie!

Haley W. said...

Haha, these are too funny!
But not touching door handles and such without a paper towel is NOT crazy. One of my "crazy" things is actually my obsessive hand-washing. It's not legitimate OCD obsessive, but I do wash my hands A LOT. It's the first thing I do when I get home from anywhere...I don't want nobody else's germs!!

Thanks for hosting, lady!! xo

Lauren Thomas said...

That's awesome! I seriously refuse to watch any movies about animals....period. I have some weird thing that I'm convinced they're either harmed in the making or inevitably an animal will die or get hurt. And I just can't watch it!
But I'm not one of those weird animal people either!

Nikki said...

So, you're have a slight germaphobia but you stay in the stall while it's flushing...I once read that that's where the most germs are spread in public bathroom-When the toilet is flushing. I always flush the toilet last and run out.

Imperfectly Balanced said...

I am also guilty of using my phone as a flashlight. I think it's because it's always right next to me! LOL

Thanks for hosting!

Landi {Freckled Confessions} said...

I love it!! This is hilarious... I could think of a few pretty weird things I do to make people most likely question my sanity...

Whitney said...

I do almost all of these! Especially the flat iron thing. If I have even the slightest bit of fear that I forgot to turn it off, I will turn around in my car and go back home! I've started unplugging it right after I use it so that I'm not worried anymore!

Darby Hawley said...

hahaha I love this list and this link up girl! I think you have mentioned your fear of bumps before. Does this mean you will never get an allergy test?

julia rose. said...

YOU ARE NOT CRAY CRAY... and if you are... SO AM I!!! And the movie thing- I will seriously not watch a movie until I know if the main character/pet lives, and if they don't, I will turn it off even halfway through.

Brooke Houston said...

This is such a great link up, but I wasn't able to prepare my blog for today. Hilarious though, I wouldn't say any of those things make you crazy! I'm guilt of number 3 big time!

Wendy Sice said...

My husband put a timer on the powerpoint for my flat-iron so that it switches off after a set time.

I have read that the germs from within the toilet can travel up to two metres when flushing, so I always put down the lid before flushing. You could always peek after that if you wanted to!

I don't start my laundry until the basket is full.

I will not watch movies with vomiting or needle use. Sooo unnecessary!

And I am not crazy!:)

Kathryn said...

I always make sure the toilet is flushed, and I refuse to watch Marley and me. Not crazy!

Danielle said...

#5? I'm the same way. Not crazy, courtesy!

Candice Moretti said...

I do half of those things you listed! We can be crazy together! LOL

Lindsay @ Trial By Sapphire said...

I make sure the toilet is done flushing before I exit too.

I'm laughing about you having to use four bobby pins.

I used to hold out on laundry for weeks, but eventually, I really did get sick and tired of laundry taking so darn long to do! I always laughed when people asked, "You have three weeks worth of undies?!" Guess so! Doesn't everyone?

Myra said...

The bobby pin thing = hilarious! I do that too! It alternates between two or four pins though :)

Taylor Urban said...

Ewwwwwwwww I CAN NOT STAND clusters of bumps, it makes me totally sick... Anything grouped together, I call it "in numbers" is siiiick!

Alicia Marie said...

You seem pretty normal to me!

Beth said...

I do #5 as well! It drives me nuts when I have to go down a line of toilets because no one bothered to double check their flushing.

Sarah Mcdougal said...

I LOVE your blog! I'm a new follower and was hoping that you might return the favor! Just go to: www.enjoyingtheepiphany.com, read it, and follow me if you like it! That'd be AMAZING!!

Positively,
Sarah

tara said...

uni, you are definitely a little bit crazy, but that's ok, because i heart you!

A Babbling Brunette said...

I do the same thing with my iphone but now with it on auto brightness it doesn't work as well. I downloaded a flashlight app yesterday. :)

Joy said...

Thanks for hosting this blog hop.... And I'm with you on the movies with pets dying. I still haven't finished Marley and Me... and I won't!! =)

Meghan @ Shine On said...

This link up rocks. Love the CeeLo pic. And pets dying? No, thank you!!

Camille said...

Hahah, I do a lot of those too. This looks like so much fun, I'll have to link up. Plus, I love that song!

Jordan said...

I always have the hardest time explaining to people the fear of "cluster of bumps" or holes or anything similarly shaped. It just creeps me out to the point of being sick!

Colleen said...

Oh my gosh, I thought the tiny bump phobia was just me! Ugh, I got the creeps just reading about it! I have no idea how I just now discovered your blog, it is fantastic! I love the link up!
