Ideosyncracies

Tagged by Copperbird- list 5 ideosyncracies, and tag, or not

Hrm. Difficult. In some ways it'd be far easier for Ormsweird to write this post ;)

1)Hand washing- Whether of not I've actually been operating, or similar, I get changed and wash my hands and forearms when I come back home from work- even if I washed 'em just before leaving work.

2)Searching- When I get something in my head that I want to find, I keep on looking and looking far after it becomes deeply irritating.

3)I'm genetically incapable of not pausing at a bookshop

4)My sense of humour is lousy. But overactive. ;)

5)I sing along with the radio at the most inopportune moments. Like when operating. On awake patients. Out of tune.

Getting him moving is hell. Packing? Ha ha ha. Last minute rush if you don't push him, followed by grumpiness that he can't find everything in a mad hurry.

That's the one I want to kill him for. :)

I share 4 out of the 5 of your idiosyncracies. I don't sing. My fifth then would be my neat freak behavior, which I suppose could be sub-categorised into 5 individual idiosyncracies...?

World's most stupid comment (after 'what does this button [I am pushing] do?) - "It's always in the last place you look."

Because I sure as hell keep on looking in more places after I find something.

3)I'm genetically incapable of not pausing at a bookshop

I have a theory that books have their own form of a magnetic field, and some people are the book-field equivalent of iron, which means they get magnetically attracted to books. The more books, the more the attraction. Hence the fact that it is perfectly natural for me to be unable to walk past an open bookshop door without being sucked in.

I think that this theory about book stores holds true even over the internet. The accumulated force field produced by the massive amount of books held at Amazon, for instance, must be the reason that I have purchased more books in the past 6 months than I have time to read!!!

Searching -- I'm the same way with information.

5)I sing along with the radio at the most inopportune moments. Like when operating. On awake patients. Out of tune.

"He often broke into song because he couldn't find the key"....

(Sorry, one of my top 5 involves dreadful puns.)
