Your (Or Someone You Know's) Weirdest Habit/Hangup

[Johnny Footstool]

Since we're including food hang-ups...

I won't eat tomatoes or tomato-based products. No ketchup, no spaghetti sauce, no steak sauce with tomato paste as an ingredient, etc. If tomatoes were used in the preparation of my food, I won't eat it.

I tried to force myself to eat spaghetti sauce in college once, but after two bites I started throwing up. Ugly, ugly scene.

BTW - reading this thread makes me realize I'm not as neurotic as I thought.

Today as I was buying my 10000th blue med point gel pen, I realized I will write with only blue med point gel pens.

For all of my curmudgeonliness, I'm a pretty bloody flexible guy. I have a lot of dislikes, but not many "hangups" or weird habits. In fact, I'm kind of anti-OCD.

Oh, I do have one habit--I dog-ear books all the time, even if they aren't mine. It pisses their owners off. I do it without thinking.

Wait, I thought of another one--kind of a hangup. I never import "bonus tracks"--remixes/live crap--that get appended to classic CDs; I just want the album as it was originally intended by the artist. The outtakes are outtakes for a reason.

I live on tomatoes..... hate the celery and will pick it out of anything I can.

Everyone dislikes celery. I don't get it. It's the most innocuous vegetable on earth. I barely taste it.

I'd rather have my skull crushed with a hammer than eat lima beans.

Hate the meat, won't touch anything that has animal product in it, including stock, fish sauce etc...

I don't eat much meat myself anymore. Occasionally fish. It starts to make me feel sluggish if I eat it too often.

I'll bumrush your place if you homegrow your tomatoes. Eat those things like apples.
