Quirks (inspired by J Henry)

Proving it, bit by bit……
Jack’s quirks :

I will use the ladies’ room without a thought if the men’s room is out of order.

I don’t like to discuss private issues in public, unless I bring up the topics.

I will start a cheerful conversation with a complete stranger, usually in an effort to make them smile or laugh.

I have an almost-unconscious habit of covering my mouth when I laugh.

I silently repeat whole sentences sometimes.  That is, when I’ve said them aloud.

I read aloud what I’m typing as I’m typing it, sometimes.

I try really hard to compliment others, and I make excuses for everyone’s bad behaviors.

Betty’s quirks :

I am quick to jump on someone for a lack of manners shown, even strangers.

I really don’t like public places much.  I feel out of place in any place outside someone’s home.  Sometimes, even outside my OWN home.

I answer questions with brutal honesty.  They should not be asked, if honest answers are not solicited!

I think I am every person in the world’s mother!!!!!

I imagine insults sometimes from common statements.

Inflections in other people’s tones of voice affect me deeply and easily.

I anger VERY easily.

I am like a Jewish mother, quick to point out flaws, but also follow it with a comforting hug.

I am getting disturbed by how many quirks I have, so I’ll move on now!

Piers’ quirks, by Jacky :  He was a little reluctant to name them, so I will do it for him….with his approval, of course!

Piers is far too sensitive to anything anyone says at all. 

When he hears others fighting, he gets into a rage, directed at ALL fighting parties. 

Piers thinks life should be fair and honest, and he gets hurt when it repeatedly ISN’T!

Piers is a stickler for doing things "the right way"….can we say "OCD"?!!!

To Piers, rules were made to be stuck to, no matter what.

Now my own quirks :

I like myself a little more than people can stand sometimes.

I don’t let other fools bring me down.  Their problems are just that – THEIR problems, not mine.

If something bothers me, I simply push it aside and get on with things.  Hence, the lid on the empty bottle thing….that would be Piers or Jack….I’d just throw the damn thing away!

I get catty when someone offends someone in our body.  Since I don’t usually GET offended, I stand up for those that do!
