I can not stand to listen to people whisper. in real life on TV, whatever. It's like some dragging a chain down my spine.

I can't stand that either...and there is an employee nearby who does this...a LOT!

The one positive...the other one who used to do it constantly is no longer here...she was one of those that the s's were obnoxiously 'loud'. mad

I will respond with a loud "what?" whenever someone whispers something to me. They will always look around to see if anyone is looking at them.

If you want to have a confidential conversation close the door.

Hard to have a closed door conversation when an employee doesn't have an office. Perhaps they are just trying to not distract others from their work? Esp. if a nearby coworker is on the phone?

Quirky and peevey!

I do the same kind of thing as this with candy. If I grab a handful of M&Ms and there are 4 red, 3 blue, 3 yellow, and 2 brown...I'll line them up (in rainbow order generally) and would eat 1 red, then a red, blue, and yellow, then one of each x2 until they're all gone. I don't know why.

Happy, I count steps, always, but I don't count as obsessively as you! Do you do it to quiet the screaming voices in your mind?

That's a little quirky, I'll admit! Maybe they just like thinking they're a part of something secret! laugh

He mentioned earlier he only ate chocolate candy...therefore there are no neon colors to obsess over. wink

I recognized another quirk last night at the library. If a book or DVD is in the wrong spot, I'll lay it down so the librarian will see it and fix it. If the correct spot is close, I'll fix it myself. wink

I also like to sort things. Pennies by date, buttons by size/color/type, pens by ink color, etc. I think I have issues. laugh

Another quirk.....my paperclips have to be sorted by size, and I absolutely abhor those colored little colored ones. Those go in the trash when I find them.

I like colored gem clips! I miss them...all we have are boring silver ones...but I only use the jumbo's, so size doesn't matter. smirk

I despise the paper clips with the little ridges on them. I throw them away. I'm ridding the world of them, one at a time.

Me too! I also don't like paperclips that have been bent out of shape.

Is it normal that I have more than half of these same quirks. Does compliance attract quirky people or did we all used to be normal and compliance made us quirky??

Next time I find colored paperclips in the office, I'll package them up and send them to you Joker.

I vote the latter. Compliance is enough to drive the sanest person bonkers.
