This is true! I usually set my down to 20 but if I'm using this older TV that's now in my bed room games have to be set to 10 because even 20 is too loud.

I love quirks! I just read this entire thread and was hugely fascinated, you guys are so interesting

I guess I have a few.

When I'm getting into the shower, I have to turn the hot tap around a certain number of times (5, I think it is on my current shower) and the cold tap a certain number of times (1 and a half) to get the perfect temperature. When I first moved in I had to figure this out and now I have to do it every time. If I lose count of how many times I've turned the hot tap, I turn it off and then start again. When I shower in different showers I am very annoyed that I don't know how many times to turn the taps to get the perfect temperature and am constantly adjusting it. Ha.

My hands always have to be warm. In winter this is a problem. If they are cold I feel like I can't do anything with them. So I always have a hot drink or heat pack in my hands. Often I will make a hot drink just to warm my hands, not to drink. I also compulsively apply hand moisturiser.

I dislike being barefooted. Can't stand it.

I also talk in my sleep on a nightly basis.

I also get restless being in the one place for a long period of time. Hence my constant traveling overseas! No idea where that comes from.

I also have a very extensive obsession with snow.

I don't have a perfect temp. like you do but I agree with you about using other people's showers. I have to adjust it far more than I do when I'm using my own at home.

Maybe you were a Gypsy in your past life. You are a rolling stone baby!

I do as well. I don't know if it's an obsession though but I really love snow and much prefer winter as opposed to summer.

Definitely. I hate summer!

Haha, yes quite. Although where I permanently reside there is no snow, ever. But when I do visit places with snow I make sure to wear warm fuzzy gloves
