I don’t like stickers on my books, either. I also don’t appreciate it when stores put stickers on books that are so hard to get off that they take bits of the book jacket with them (Sam’s Club, are you listening?). So, I don’t find you quirky in that way at all. The ketchup thing my daughters do and it turns my stomach every time. When they do that with butter, it’s not much better, either… I used to scrape all of the toppings off my pizza, eat the crust and then eat the toppings separately. It drove my mom crazy. I’m still not sure exactly why she cared, but I do eat my pizza like a civilized adult now.

I always enjoy reading these; a friend of mine thought my answers were too personal when I did this meme a few months ago ... I didn't think they're too personal, but they are ME! curious? click here

I use cruise control to keep my speed down when I’m out in the middle of nowhere, so I know what you mean.

Those are some quirks alright. I always have a very strong urge to remove all the stickers from my books as well. But I don’t do it for the fear of spoiling the book.

I do not like cheeseburgers either, even though I usually only like cheese melted over things. I found it odd when I moved to Chicago that ‘burger’ seems to mean cheeseburger here, not hamburger. In California, even though lots of people liked cheeseburgers, the default was hamburger. We asked “who wants cheese on their burger?” Here, when they remember, they ask, “who doesn’t want cheese?”
