I tie my shoes "wrong." When I was little I had trouble doing the normal bow, so my sister's boyfriend at the time taught me to cross two loops instead. I can tie my shoes the normal way now, but he's been dead almost 10 years and I still choose to tie my shoes the way he taught me. I dunno, it's like a gesture of remembrance.

I tie my shoes that way to this day.

At least when and if I have to. I mostly wear boots with zippers up the sides. But I totally get what you're saying. My kindergarten teacher got frustrated with my not being able to tie shoes the "proper" way.

I do pretty much the same thing but I nibble around all the edges and by the time I'm done with the sandwich my hands are a chocolatey mess.

Same. I've started forcing odds on myself to try and break the habit. Prime numbers still irritate me too much, though. One step at a time!

Another one: If there's a vegetable I don't like, I explore all manner of recipe until I find something I can work with. Then I eat it 'til I like it. VEGETABLES WILL NOT DEFEAT ME.

Current project is beets, which I can stand in a vinegar-based coleslaw. Otherwise they taste like a very rich, fresh dirt.

Have you tried making borscht? Beets also pair really nicely with goat cheese.

or pickled beets since the op likes vinegar

Ooh, good point. I guess I didn't think of that because most pickled beets I've had are the gross sweet kind. But a vinegar brine with savory spices sounds fantastic.

I have a sneezing problem and I always just feel awkward when people say 'bless you' and whatnot, especially since I tend to keep sneezing after they've said it.
