  Damn! Y'all just reminded me that I forgot to watch "Monk" last night!

  JH: Your breaks would do better going through puddles it washes out the excess break dust.

  <Shaking head> No. Number one, it's "brakes" ok? And Number two. Your brakes would do better without splashing through deep puddles, that itself is true. Once you've heated the rotors up with a few good stops, a good splashing of water will warp them and then when you hit the brake pedal you get a vibration. But wash off the dust? Not much. Trust me, I'm a professional brake technician. You know what? On second thought, if you live around here, aim for every puddle you see!

  Mine?

  Buckle my seatbelt every time I get in a car. (that's a good thing)

  My uniform shirt pockets get filled the same way every morning: left breast pocket gets my pen, right breast pocket gets my pocket screwdriver, white pen-light, blue pen-light, and Sharpie marker in that order. Everything has to be in that order and if something is missing I have to find it right then.

  I eat at the same few places every morning for breakfast and everyone there knows me and what I want.

  I don't like sitting with my back to a door when I eat out.

  I hate crowds. (Gee! I wonder why?!)

  I smoke cigarettes but I don't smoke before lunch and I hate the smell before lunch. After lunch I don't even notice the smell. (Once in a while I'll have a smoke before lunch but EXTREMELY rarely)

  When I leave for work in the mornings I have to double check that I've locked my apartment's door. Sometimes I'll even turn the car around and go back to double-check.

  Oh, and I sleep in the buff too but have to have some covering. (stop gagging ladies!)

  I hate changing pillows on my bed. I've had the same pillows for something like 8 or 9 years. They were a gift from a customer and ended up replacing the ones I'd had for years previously. Still comfortable. I do change the sheets and pillowcases regularly tho.

  Mike.

  Bendrr: Thunder says your WRONG he has been a mechanic for years and we never have brake problems. Excessive heat is what warps rotors. OUR cars always function and we never have need of a technician. Thunder has always been a wonderful mechanic

  PS: OOOOPS on my spelling error. I have another eye infection and can't see diddly in one eye

  PPS: NEVER HAD A WARPED ROTOR IN 20 years. Thunder never has

  Ok I have a couple really weird habits

  1. Im obsessed with even numbers. IE: if the balance in my bank account is say $250.56, I'll acutally deposit 0.44 to make it an even 251.00. If I write checks to pay bills, I'll make the checks for amounts that will even out my ending balance when Im done.
  2. when I go to a store and my total is, let's say, $22.19, I will give the cashier the exact cents change. I organize my wallet money by denominations, big bills get folded up into the smaller bills. I freak out if it's not in that order.
  3. I have a small magnified mirror, and a good pair of tweezers. guess what I spend most of my evenings doing?
  4. I look for split ends in my hair and I break them off with my fingers.
  5. I can never entirely finish washing the dishes. I always leave a either a plate, spoon, glass or pot unwashed. same goes for the laundry. I almost always leave a shirt or a jacket or a pair of pants unwashed.
  6. I have about, ummm, 1,000 tubes of chapstick around the house, in every pocket of my coats and jackets and in my purses. and they have to be mint, not original.

  Another weird thing I done was to offer free gas to a stranger at a gas station. I could only put 24,00$ of gas in my car, and I needed to put 25$ to have a gift from the garage, so I offered 1$ of free gas to a stranger filling up so that I could get my little gift.

  Weird is the word. Keep quiet people.
