One of my unpleasant memories from childhood was plumbing problems. My parents were cheap when it came to house repairs & sometimes, I'd see water gushing into the house from a broken pipe, or flushing a toilet & everything coming up instead of going down. It would really freak me out & I'd have nightmares about it.
In my place, I spent a fortune on plumbing repairs & upgrades - whatever the cost, everything had to be PERFECT. Probably because of those memories.
I also hoard certain things - not so much because I fear running out of them; I just like to have lots of variety:
Soap (I always have at least 25 bars - I like the different smells.) And I like having 3-4 different choices in the shower.
I'm a coffee snob - I usually have 2-3 bags of different ones.
Do those count as "Quirks?"
