Anne, I have sweaty feet syndrome, too, and not just when I’m nervous! My family teases me mercilessly about it. Unfortunately sweaty feet syndrome also leads to “stinky” feet syndrome, so I spend most of my time in sandals and flip flops to avoid that! My children have inherited the trait, too, darn it. When you strip the socks off my 4-month-old, you are graced with sweaty (but adorable) chubby feet. :c)
Not really gross, but when I get frustrated or angry I turn red and blotchy on my face, neck and chest and this happens long before I verbally lose my cool, so it’s a dead giveaway of what’s to come. Ask Jarrod, he’s experienced it often! :) Now he just says “Uh oh” and leaves my office in a hurry.
This may not be totally gross but it is strange…when I get one hand wet, I HAVE to wet the other…and, when I wake up in the middle of the night, I cannot lay back down on the same side, I switch sides…EVERYTIME!
I don’t have a quirk that I’M WILLING TO POST ONLINE (LOL!), but I do have to say – how the HECKY HECK have I missed your blog all this time? Great stuff!
Linked you…

Tamara, I can’t have one hand wet and not other, same with feet. Can’t stick one in a pool while sitting on the side, and not ther other. Also can’t put on a sock, then a shoe, then the other sock and shoe. Have to put on both socks, then both shoes. Maybe I should see someone about this…
My quirk … I HATE feet — even reading this makes me a little sick since sweaty feet are even grosser than normal ones :)

i can’t stand my jeans or anything to touch my bellybutton. sometimes my kid will catch me by surprise and stick his finger in deep as does my husband.
I don’t think I have any gross quirks… but I do have quirks and I do have grossness. :) Quirkiness- When I’m stressed, I organize things. There’s nothing to battle stress like a nice, cleaned out closet. Grossness-When I’m pregnant my feet stink – not b/c of sweat, they just stink and it’s only when I’m pregnant. (hm… or maybe I can only smell it when I’m pregnant… nah, I don’t think my husband would lie to me over stinky feet!)
My twin sister has that half-yawn thing going too. Always bugged me, like she was bored when I talked or something.
I suppose my quirk, though you probably couldn’t tell, is that I constantly analyze people to learn about them. Everything is free game, from voice inflection, posture, eyes, self-grooming, feet wiggling and direction they point…you name it. The goal for me is to figure out what makes them tick, and what they really think about so and so, or this and that. Not exactly sweaty feet, but since i do it often, even when nervous, maybe it counts. Who knows, maybe one of you will tell me I’m normal!

When I’m nervous my brain goes blank and my mouth says things that don’t make sense…blah, blah, blah…and then I have a nervous laugh…I’m such a geek! :)
When i date guys i most always throw up because they make me so nervous. I used to carry around a plastic bag so i had something to throw up in. Now i just wing it. For real.
i really don’t know what might be gross, but I crunch ice alot – which I’ve been told is very annoying. (by my husband) and I also cannot STAND for anyone to hold my legs down. I am very claustrophobic, but only really in this way. So no tickle fights for me – I go rabid!
That wasn’t nearly as gross as I thought it would be. Feet aren’t that gross. My big toe had the toe nail ripped off and now its all bumpy no matter how much I file it. Thats gross. But sweaty feet not all that gross.
This isn’t gross, but when I pour a drink from the tap I always leave a little bit in the bottom and tip it out into the sink. Even if I then pour myself another drink because I’m still thirsty.
I don’t have any quirks. I’m perfectly normal. However, for you sweaty-feet people, I’ve heard that if you soak your feet in like 4 bags of tea for about 20 minutes, it helps reduce the sweatiness. Not that I would know from actual experience, but I just wanted to bless ya’ll with a little help. You’re welcome.
It’s not that gross but it’s annoying. I’ll be mid-sentence and my voice catches in my throat – all ackkkk – and then I get the word out and move on. It happens at least twice in all high-intensity conversations before I get control of it. I can’t seem to break it. It’s a dead giveaway that I’m anxious or upset too – no hiding it from the husband. Dang.

i’m w/ you on that–that’s why flip-flops rock! =)
I eat White Castle… and love it!
when i get nervous i have to take a #2
When I get nervous, my armpits sweat : (
Hence the reason I wear black almost every day of the year.

My feet sweat as well…kind of lame.
but a funny one (not so gross) is when i am nervous i yawn…but never a full yawn, just the start of one. and you saw that first hand.
Sometimes, when I get nervous, I stick my hands under my armpits and than I smell them like this! (aka Mary Katherine Gallagher)

Slow news day? I guess my deal would be “grouchy”, when i get nervous i become easily irritated and snap at loved ones.

I guess this would be a quirk. When I brush my teeth, I always sneeze big time afterwards!
When I am bored I peel my toenails. I stick my tongue out when I am very focused. hahaha

Let the liberation continue!

My wife thinks I should have been a coal miner the way I pick my nose. What can I say?
Nasty noses make me sick.
(I can’t believe I just shared that…)
When i date guys i most always throw up because they make me so nervous. I used to carry around a plastic bag so i had something to throw up in. Now i just wing it. For real.
I can’t leave zits alone. Gotta pop them.
i have no problem giving a quick farmer blow if my nose is clogged… even in the shower…
I ramble and my voice gets louder and louder and louder and then I blow. ABout twice a year. And I am done for this year!
Every group needs a nose picker…but never in public.
I think that my big toes look like rosie odonnell
One of my armpits sweats more than the other.
My toes have been compared to both hot air balloons and chicken nuggets (and I can interlock them!)

Nope. I refuse to participate. Stop it. Willnotbedrawnin. Nope, not gonna happen.

I pick my nose too darn much. In public!
When I get afraid of heights, my palms get sweaty. It’s kinda slimy.
I used to eat my boogers. They tasted like chicken.

Why do you think pastors want their own bathrooms near the stage. It happens every Sunday I’m speaking. Nervous poops.
I’m just a nail biter….
Pleae wear socks on your first day to the office :)
I pick my nose in the car sometimes. Okay,okay, often.

I’ll deny it if asked, but my wife catches me picking my nose in traffic.
Did I over-share?
there’s a bunch of nose-pickers here…
home at last :)
Along with nose picking(privately), an art I learned to enjoy during my pregnancies, I am a belcher. Bigger the better.
When I preach and I think I am making a really good point, my nostrils flare.
