Silly organizing

Post » Thu May 19, 2011 12:10 pm

As the title suggests this thread is about organizing things. Not important documents or records but things you shouldn′t have to organize. Let me elaborate with a short story.

Today I bought a bag of Chuba Chups lollypops since I felt like having some. When I got home I opened the bag that consisted of 4 different types of lollypops and I discovered to my dismay that there were 4 of my least favorite lollypops and only 2 of the other 3, 10 in total that is. Then I spent a good 15 minutes just looking at them thinking about in what order I should eat them to get the most diversity while at the same time eating the worst ones first and the best ones last until I came up with this pattern.

4th best - 3rd best - 4th best - 2nd best - 4th best - the best - 4th best - 3rd best - 2nd best - the best

Then I realized I just spent 15 minutes not eating lollypops...

So this is just one of the thing I tend to do (will skip counting other things while I still look like I have a shred of sanity left in me) but I wonder who else does quirky stuff like this or if I′m just weird :P

So share your stories and discuss, perhaps someone will tone down my hokerry (yes I know that′s not a word) with his own story of quirkiness.

Exactly, thus I prompted others to share their stories, rather than just telling everyone to discuss me in all my grandness. Perhaps this thread isn′t serious enough to prompt responses but I figured some people would tackle it with a lighthearted response.

After all even your quote suggests that some people would so I′m not really certain how to take it.

Anyway gonna skip responding for now so I don′t just bump it up myself and see how long it takes for it to fall to page 15. Be it sooner or later.

I do the same thing when eating candy, except I usually eat the best ones last.

Of course, if it's someone else's candy I only ask for the best ones and they're obliged to give it to me. Yes, I am that [censored] who always asks for the purple candy and leaves you with yellow! HAH!
