Always wondered if some of the things I do that I view as quirks may in fact be practiced across the V sign? Anyone that does anything similar to the following list please chime in and share.

Stapling papers - Just cannot bring myself to let that staple fly unless the edges of the paper are lined up at a perfect 90?? angle and perfectly lined up on top of eachother.

Drying off after a shower - Very systematic almost down to a science down to throwing the towel on the ground and stepping on it so the bathmat doesn't get wet and stink. But the systematic part means that I always use the towel in a specific order to dry off each part of the body in an order that hasn't changed since I can remember.

Aimless driving - Almost can't do it. Must have a purpose and a destination. Hate getting lost. Must have GPS if I haven't been there before.

House cleaning - I try to keep things clean but for the msot part I whirlwind clean about once a week.

Tapping - All adhd jokes aside (pretty sure I don't have it) I tap. Constantly. Fingers, feet, wrists. I try to only do it alone but I've always got some song going through my head and can't help releasing it in a beat. Sometimes I even use my teeth, just slightly clicking them together.

Pimples - They don't last long anywhere on my body. As soon as I see them I get 'em. The more sh1t that comes out the cooler/grosser.

Driving - Courteous and expect the same. I also never talk on a cell and drive. I believe in safety and won't even talk and drive at the same time (on the phone of course)

"Last bite syndrome" - personally coined the phrase. For some reason I rarely eat the last bite of anything, mostly sandwiches though. Yes I know all about the starving kids in ethiopia but I always look down at that last bite and think there's no way it's gonna taste as good as the rest of what I just ate.

Foil in pack of smokes - How many people do you know that unwrap a brand new hard pack and take out BOTH pieces of the foil?

Intellectual conversation - Everyone likes it but how many people that aren't crazy actually catch themselves talking to theirself? I joke around about it but I don't actually have conversations but if I'm definitely alone sometimes I just utter a few words, usually pertaining to a good experience I was reliving in my head. Sometimes it is very off the wall random stuff too.

Boogers - I pick 'em. But the weird part is I always catch myself looking up with my finger in my nose or walking into a room mining nose gold unaware of who's in there but the weirdest part is I have NEVER been caught in the act. Or maybe I know too many polite people.

Shopping - Again no aimless. Get in. Get what I need. Get out. Maybe it's also because most of the people on the peopleofwalmart.com site probably came from my town but I don't dilly dally.

Now that all of you know how crazy and disgusting I can be anyone up for a date? 😛

I'm a cusper so it's close enough for me to comment...

I am the same (or very similar) on several of these. I've said for years that I am very much a creature of habit. I have way too many quirks for even me to remember.

Staples - Not only to I have to line up the corners but there can only be one staple. If something was already stapled and I have to add something to it, the old staple has to come out before the new one goes in. I have been teased for this one at work but I don't care... 1 staple, top left corner.

Drying off - Top down, balls and butt last lol. Can't dry off your ass and then your face, that's just wrong...

Aimless driving - Never. I tried before because someone recommended it but I can't do it. I don't have GPS but I'll mapquest and print directions the first time I'm going somewhere.

Cleaning - The kids changed that to a constant battle.

Tapping - all the damn time. Either that or bopping my head. Always have music playing, always.

Pimples - asap

Driving - Nope, I'm an asshole driver haha. I'll talk on the phone, text, email, eat, mess with the radio, etc. I learned to steer with my knees years ago. If I'm not distracted by one of the above (some times even when I am) I drive fast and weave through traffic. I am aggressive but I am a good driver. I have never caused an accident.

Foil - I am the only person I know who removes the foil from front and back... I always know which pack is mine 😛

Conversing with yourself - I like to call it thinking out loud...

Boogers - pick and flick lol. I couldn't walk into a room diggin though, what if someone saw me?

Shopping - I think that one is a guy thing. Def go in with a mission and get the hell out.

Okayyyy fine. Lilith in Virgo, so I'll embrace the Dark Side here ( damned cookies.. )

Staples: Pages must be lined up perfectly, and the staple MUST be at an angle in the top left hand corner.

Drying off: Hair first, face, arms, back, legs, front, THEN the groin/bum.

Aimless driving: Not even close. And like most ( all? ) women, I use landmarks.

Cleaning: House must be clean, not everything shrieking 'don't touch me' but tidy and smelling nice. And life does
happen, I'll not apologize for a few dishes, random dog hair or a dust bunny I missed.

Tapping: When deep in music yes, or when I've a lot of energy.

Pimples: They must be stopped. And yes I'll get the ones on your back.

Driving: I drive just fine, it's the other idiots on the road you need to look out for. 😛

Foil: Whole top gone, popped into a leather case. Anyone touches that case gets swift and sure punishment.

Conversing with Self: Ahhh my internal guidance counselors/shit stirrers..I wouldn't be the same without them.

Boogers: I use a tissue, but during those deeper moments when one must be retrieved a finger does quest for a bat in the
cave.

Shopping: If it's groceries or other, get in get out. Military style . Antique shopping and so on is pleasure, then I'll
take my time.

So, anyone up for a date? I promise not to drool in my salad. Well maybe a bit, but I'll daintily dab it up with a linen napkin.

Staples.....yes papers have to be lined up perfect and stapled in the left corner.....if not I will take it out and redo it til it is

Drying off......Head to toe, then vajayjay and ass

Aimless driving.....def have to have a purpose....gas is too expensive to just drive around

House cleaning.....I get into cleaning moods then sometimes I look around and think it can wait...but the house has to smell good ALWAYS!!

Tapping....Have to be tapping or playing with something at all times...damn nerves lol

Pimples....hardly get them but when I do...immediately have to be gone!!

Driving.....pretty much the same as venusianbull 😛

Foil in pack of smokes....nope only take one of the foils parts off....but if someone else happens to open a pack for me and takes both of the foil parts or the cellophane off it drives me insane...I have no idea why...but I kinda huff and puff about it.

Conversing with Self.....Guilty!!

Boogers.....Kleenex and do it in private

Shopping.....if for clothes I take my time....everything else...get in and get the hell out lol

You're not an @sshole driver. You're par for every mother f'er in San Antonio. And I can say this cuz I lived there. Hell my parents live there. There's a reason your insurance is double mine. How'd you all like that snow? I bet everyone simultaneously went, "What the F(_)ck is this white sh1t? Aw hell, let's speed up."

HAHA, I'm a TX transplant... I'm worse. I grew up in Baltimore and drove in DC traffic for years. The snow here was pathetic. There wasn't enough to do anything... back home school wouldn't have even been delayed, let alone canceled. Here, the city shut down. These people were driving like morons during the freezing rain and crashing, then just leaving their cars on the highway. They actually closed the highways because there was 1" of snow...

Oh and I always try to get the new staple in the old holes haha.

God Elle you're so much like my ex scorp. Are you absolutely sure your name's not Alicia? lol. I just want to remind you of the potential payoff with your Virgo though. Again I'm going to speak from my only experience but you two may seem like polar opposites, and you might in fact be but that may be good to bring to the table though. You may bring him out of his shell and he may ground you a bit more on the earth settling any restlesness or mental uneasiness. Just don't look at him as inferior for not experiencing the things you have and don't look at it as you gotta hold his hand through everything new. He might just have been waiting for the right person to make him want to change for the better and healthier.

Just remembered another. I handwash dishes to the point that I could probably just dry them and then put them away, but then they go into the dishwasher. OCD? Virgo trait? Am I just crazy?

OMG never encountered someone else that does this, I get ridiculed by friends/family for it! I have 5 planets in virgo, maybe that to blame who knows!

I have a virgo friend that told me he talks to himself when alone for clarity...

You would be my first encounter seadream! Welcome to my world. In my world I will never have to call a repairman to fix the dishwasher who will find tons of food clogging the trap. You will never find water spots on the glasses or baked on crap on the plates. I will never grab a spoon out of the drawer just to get grossed out finding sticky stuff on it. Everything has a neat home in the cupboards with each size item in it's own spot all the way down to the tupperware. Nice to meet you. I'm Ray.
