Eggs must come out of the carton such that it is always balanced, most of the weight is on the outside and the centroid is in the middle, or if there is an uneven number of eggs (which is to be avoided, because it’s just not right) it has to balance as close to the centre as possible.
The next bread slice has to come from an even number of slices in so that there are matching pairs of slices leading up to the missing pieces.
Waffles must have butter in every square (that’s not really a quirk, that’s just good sense)
My obsession with odd/even or needing number patterns or balanced distribution(by weight, colour or pattern) in my meals (ie one egg, two bacon, 3 sausages, 4 pieces of toast) drove my mom crazy growing up. She had to convince me that peas were not whole units and I had to count them by tens because 4 peas was not acceptable for vegetables with dinner.
Before eating Smarties, they must be sorted and arranged like a bar graph in ascending order.
I don’t do this quite as much anymore.[/quote]
I have to eat Skittles, M&Ms, and candy really, in rainbow color order. And I have to get them all down to the same number so I can eat one at a time, again in rainbow order.

I love the taste of cottage cheese but after 5-6 bites I always start to think about it being spoiled milk and have to stop or puke.
Pisses my wife off but if the milk is within a day of being expired, stinky or not it’s out, if you’ve ever take a swig of lumpy milk at 3am before you’re probably the same way. For that matter anything on or near it’s expiration date is trash.
I won’t eat a tomato but I like almost anything made with a tomato, sauce, ketsup even stewed tomatoes.

Ditto on everything. Milk always smells bad to me so I always throw it out on the expiration day. With the tomatoes, I’m the same way with green/red/yellow peppers and mushrooms. We once made a dish without green peppers, because we totally forgot about them, and it was HORRIBLE.
Hmm, you guys how have to eat protein then carbs then veggies or whatnot, I think I’m the opposite. I have to ‘make rounds’ around my plates. Some meat, some veggies, drink, repeat. Except I drink a ton whenever I eat, like 4-5 refills at restaurants.
Chips on sandwiches are amazing, still do it today. I love shit crunching in my mouth, but hate when it fucks up the roof of my mouth.
I FUCKING HATE the crusty shit around the top of the milk. WTF is that crap? I take the cap off, hear it, take a sip out of the gallon and feel it. Fuck my shit up BIG TIME.
Oh, at restaurants when you ask for water and it comes with lemon in there, I have to squeeze out the juice, eat the lemon, then toss the peel back into my glass. I also refuse to use a straw. Men don’t use straws.
i CANNOT eat caramelized onions, i had a prime rib sandwich with 'em once and ended up getting a really bad viral infection in my stomach and dropped down to 150ibs, hospital, very “intrusive” tests . i know its not the onion’s fault but the smell of them makes me gag… still love prime rib though LMAO

I do the exact same, except my last bite always has to be a piece of meat. I also try to eat my veggies early on because as I’m getting full, I’m less inclined to eat them.
Ditto on the straws. Whenever I go out, I hold onto my straw so I can use it to mix my drink, but I always fold it over the edge of the glass and hold it there.
My quirk: whenever I eat ribs or chicken wings, I only touch my food with my left hand. My right hand always stays clean so I can use my fork/spoon and grab my drink without getting them dirty.
When I eat any sort of sandwich, I always eat around the edges to first and then work my way into the middle. You know, the logical way to eat a sandwich.
