i am neurotic.

When I eat colored candies (Skittles, M&Ms, etc.) I have to eat the red candies first because they’re my least favorite and I have to make sure the last candy in the bag isn’t red. Otherwise I have to get another bag so I can eat a “good” color and get the red taste out of my mouth.

I pick out the white umbilical thing of an egg before it is cooked. That thing always stays gooey. When you get it in a bite, it registers fairly high on the gag scale.

I can’t stand the noise from the spoon when you mix Milo with milk!!!

I am so neurotic I just bought one of the nonperishable food supplies that lasts for 6 months that Costco sells online just in case I am ever trapped or the apocalypse ensues.

I can’t eat the tops of my broccoli. I used to not like the taste when I was younger, but now that I’m older I simply can’t eat the tops. I don’t think they taste bad but I can’t make myself eat them and if I do I cringe. When I make broccoli, I have to cut the tree top part off of the stem before I cook it. My family eats the tops while I eat the bottom. When I’m older and move out, I hope to get a cat to feed the tops to so I can eat broccoli without wasting any part of it.

i cannot eat if I’m wearing a coat or have earphones in. If I’m wearing a long sleeve shirt i have to push up the sleeves. I just feel so cluttered. If i have to eat in a car i have to take my seat belt off. I know it’s dangerous, but i just can’t eat with it on.

Whenever I see cooking debris or food scraps, I feel the urge to compost or recycle them; it would be a terrible waste otherwise. But I don’t want to touch other people’s food remains. Then I feel guilty for not composting that stuff. I believe that we need food scrap recycling in more places, but I feel guilty for not lobbying for that cause.

When I’m at the grocery store unloading my cart I have to keep the like items together. Produce, frozen foods, toiletries etc. I don’t like it when they get mixed up and get especially annoyed if despite my keeping them separate, the bagger stuffs different categories of things in the same bag.

When I eat pickles I must bite off the ends and throw them in the garbage because I hat the feel of the bumpy skin. I then eat the skin of the pickle like corn until there is none left before I eat the inside.

I’m a faithful customer to Starbucks Coffee and I go almost every morning. I always get the same drink no matter what the season is. Through summer to winter it’s always gotta be that non-fat green tea latte. But that’s not my neurosis. I HAVE TO HAVE the picture of their logo facing me and the front of the heat protective sleeve has to face me always or else i’ll go insane.
