I never take the first item on a shelf or rack in a store. If I find an item I like...I just know everyone before me has fondled, shook, squeezed...etc. (in other words...got their germs all over it and messed it up) and so I have to take at least the second, but preferably the last, of it's kind on the shelf or rack! Hubby used to get perturbed at this quirk in me, but now does the same thing since buying something (taking the first one from the shelf) and getting it home, only to find out parts were missing!

I'm a step counter too, IAKG! Up AND down!

When reading a book and I have to stop for some reason.....I won't stop till I'm at the end of a chapter or at the very least, the end of a paragraph. This is unless the house is on fire! In that case...I'll at least finish the sentence I'm on! LOL!

I correct grammar and spelling in others and I could smack myself for it because I know there are times when I am wrong and should be corrected (and I don't like coming across as a smartass). And....in those times I'll stand corrected and yet resent the need for another to have to correct me! Not because I don't think I should be corrected.....but that I am pissed at myself for not seeing it first! Geezzzzz....that is soooooo stinking anal I hate typing it! ROFL!
