    - The way I walk/run.
    - The way I shoot a basketball, throw a football and swing a golf club.
    - The way I cut my meat (like a caveman) and cut every piece before taking a bite.
    - I stare at my food while eating.
    - I talk to myself a lot.
    - During a meal, I always save the good stuff (steak, chicken, etc.) for last.
    - I live in the Northeast and don't own a winter coat
    - I eat a mostly vegetable-free diet.
    - I go to Subway and sometimes opt for no veggies/condiments. The sandwich artists think I'm insane.

    I have cold showers in the morning. If the water is anything more than tepid (pre-set temperature at campgrounds are always too hot) I get sleepy in the early afternoon and need a nap.

    I use cottage cheese as a dip for BBQ potato chips.

    Like leftovers cold. Everything.

    I do the exact same thing. It drives me nuts seeing something thrown into the dishwasher unwashed. That's how my wife does it, and half the time I'm having to re-wash things because the item not only is still dirty, but the stuff that was on the plate/silverware/glass/whatever is now really caked on. Totally pisses me off.

    My others:
    1. When we first got married my wife had a complete meltdown about my milk drinking habits. I would drink a full glass of milk with breakfast, lunch and dinner. Dates back to my childhood. My wife complained bitterly about the expense. Somewhat related, about the only milk I drink now is out of the cereal bowl.
    2. I have gotten in the habit of not just naming cars, but naming them based on the type of car. So I've had Satty the Saturn, Matty the Metro and Malcolm the Malibu Maxx. Malcolm used to have fellow Maxx friends I named Mel the Malibu and Mallory the Malibu. My father-in-law's Corvette is Brett the 'Vette.
    3. Light switches in the house have to be in the same position or it drives me nuts because I'll be thinking about which way the switches have to be so the switches at three places (by the front door, in the living room and in the kitchen) all match up.

    I prefer going to the movies alone.

    Some of you people need help.

    Also, the GF has a really annoying of constantly moving stuff. Kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, etc. Nothing remains in the same drawer, cabinet, closet, box, etc. for more than two months.
    It's infuriating. As soon as you think you know where the bottle opener, Q tips, tupperware is, it's moved. You have to go hunting for it.

    The whole naming thing is strange to me.
    I've named dogs, but I've never named a car, a guitar, a bike, a body part or anything else.

    Everyone names their dogs; what's strange about that?

    Buck, all damn women do that.

    My wife has four places she keeps medicine. Well if I need an asprin, I have to search four fucking places before I realize it's gone.

    Fuck, does that piss me off.

    Sounds like this could start a new thread. My wife does it with the car keys and it drives me nuts, especially since there's a designated spot for keys right next to the door to the garage.

    She's the third woman I've lived with for an extened period of time, but the other two did not exhibit this kind of behavior.
    They were constantly leaving their keys, sunglass, cellphones, etc., in different places, but that never bothered me much.
    This is way beyond that.

    She also exhibits the normal behavior. She leaves her purse, sunglasses, cellphone in a different place all the time.

    And her stuff is fine where ever she chooses to leave it, but my stuff is 'mess.'
    If she's got 40 magazines on the coffee table in the sitting room, that's cool. If I've got one magazine on the coffee table in the living, I'm 'making a mess.'
