I have an irrational fear of biscuit cans (or cinnamon rolls, crescent rolls, etc). I will not open one by myself and if I have to be in the room while one is being opened I will close my eyes and cover my ears. I think it's the anticipation of never knowing when it's going to pop. I've always wondered if I am the only one...

Other people were talking about drinking from cans... I prefer to only drink from cans. I hate soda in a plastic bottle and I'd prefer my beer in a can over glass bottle. Beer in plastic bottles is never an option for me. I'll drink water out of a bottle, but only because it doesn't come in cans
I'll share a couple of Mike's so I don't seem so weird. Haha!
He won't drink through a straw unless absolutely necessary. He arranges his hanging shirts by type (t-shirts, Polo's, etc) and arranges his t-shirts by color (but only the t-shirts).

Haha I thought I was the only one.... I won't make anything that comes in that packaging unless Jason is home to open it......

You're not the only one!
I freaking hate those things. It's totally the anticipation... I can still open them, but I fucking dread it, and generally try to pawn off the task.
I hate grammatical and/or spelling errors. Even when texting, I hate using the "u" and "r" for instance that so many do. When I read a page online or in print the errors jump out at me as if they are taunting me. I hate this actually...I know it makes me seem really bitchy or know it all sometimes.
I've even been known to correct patients' grammar on an occasion or two. Mind you, with the population that I treat, if I corrected everyone I would never have time to actually do my job.
and, like Scrog, I do talk to myself. More like I think out loud very often...and people get annoyed when I don't finish the sentence(s). I DO finish them, only in my head. My kids get really annoyed at me for that. My friends just consider the source and laugh..
I'm with you on the fan thing. Gotta have the white noise, even if it's freezing in the room.
I'm also w/Kim on the grammar thing. ohdearlordhavemercy, I'm ruthless about typos. I can spot 'em from ten paces and they make my skin crawl! I've even seen typos on our university's website - and we're a UNIVERSITY, for cryin' out loud! *** takes deep, cleansing breaths ***
I'm quirky about separating laundry. It's gotta be grouped by color. That's assuming I ever actually fold it and put it where it belongs. So maybe my "thing" is never folding the laundry & putting it away?
But my biggest quirk is that my um, foundations have to match. Srsly, I can't leave the house unless the top and bottom are the same color. And I've got on lipstick. Yeah, that's my "thing" or two.
Edit: oh yeah, I'm perpetually late. It takes a miracle and/or an act of Congress to get me somewhere early. It's a wonder I'm friends with some of y'all - you must have superhero patience!
Snorin' too. My dad is horrible, and has sleep apnea as well. I could always here him even in the basement growin' up. And my bed must be made every mornin'! Too bad I forgot how to properly do hospital corners from JROTC Camp. But my sheets must be nice and tight when I crawl into bed!

I'm addicted to q-tips. If I get out of the shower and don't have q-tips I will freak out a little. I don't feel completely clean unless I can dry/clean my ears with them. (I was reminded of this because I ran out of them yesterday and when I went to grab a couple I actually cried "No!" when I noticed the box was empty.)
I must have something to drink near me all the time. If I don't have a drink say when I get in the car to go somewhere I feel uneasy. I will stop at the store just to get a drink even if I'm not thirsty.

I'm the exact opposite. I hate getting into a made bed. The first thing I do when I get into a hotel room is pull all the covers out from under the edges of the bed. I have to have all the edges tucked at my feet, legs, and arms so there is no airflow. And I always put the covers over my chin and mouth, if not my entire head.

No way, the best thing about hotels is that the bed is all nice and tight. I try to leave it tucked it everywhere possible so I can just slide in and it's still tucked on the sides.

Sweet mother of pearl, we're all crazy....*sigh*
I have so many weird quirky things. I never think of them as bad just because I typically don't freak out if I can't do one.
I smell every cup before I make a drink. No idea why, really, but I just do. I guess maybe I am concerned about whether they are clean or if they have adopted the cabinet smell...who knows?
I also apparently shake things. I never noticed before but my niece pointed it out when we went grocery shopping. I will pick up a thing of cupcake sprinkles, shake it, then put it down. Go down another aisle pick up a tub of bread crumbs, shake them, then put it down. I do it everywhere, my own home, my friends, restaurants...it's not really noticeable, I only do it once or twice then I'm done.
Also, apparently it's "weird" but whenever I talk on the phone I have a tendency to go out and sit in my car. I feel like personal phone calls should be no one else's annoyance...or business and since I lived in either my parent's house, the dorm or with a roommate the next best thing was always my car. Private, comfortable, and if I wanted to smoke in there I could. And now, even though I live by myself it's kind of carried over and I still go out to my car. I feel like it's more private.
That's all the crazy I am going to leave with you for now.
And it should be stated that within reading two posts of this thread I immediately said, "Oh man, now I know how to get them all" But I'm not that cruel, don't worry.

I was told at Moog that if we wanted you to be somewhere for some time, to tell you to show up a half hour earlier.
So if we were meeting at 11, to tell you to show up for 10:30.
^When I worked for a popular chain Italian Restaurant in college, my manger started scheduling my shifts a 1/2 hour early, so I would be to work on time. I was always on top of the list for "add-ons" sells, that means I sold a lot of drinks, apps, and desserts, so they did not want to fire me, I made them money, I was just always 5-10 minutes late.
