My DH has "favorite cups" to drink from. Both of them are free plastic one - one from a football
game and one from a movie theater we went to in college. He insists on using them even if there are 30 other clean cups. I'm pretty sure he's convinced water tastes better in them

Makes me laugh!

Anyway, does your DH/SO have wierd quirks like this?

My DH has a similar cup thing. Except it's with jugs the size of your head. For some reason he has to use this jug he got at a geek convention for his water a few years back, probably because of the old labelling that has since long worn off. It holds like a gallon of water at a time. I don't get it. He has also got a ceramic mug with WoW branding on it that also holds a good 40ozs of fluid and weighs a ton...he likes that one quite a bit too. The man is going to get carpel tunnel syndrome from drinking water in these things.

I think it's ridiculous, so when I clean up, I try to hide them. We have glasses and 1 litre water bottles for a good reason.

He collects Star Wars action figures...Boxes and boxes of them. Enough said.

I'm LOL'ing over here Jess. My DH is a serious hobbyist and so I feel your pain. He plays a game called battle tech. He has collected these miniature figurines for this game that he has to assemble and he paints them...well at last count he had well over 1700. I swear it's as bad as having a 5 year old addicted to hotwheels. He is planning our next house purchase around being able to set up a table big enough to support the terrain maps so that he and his buddies can play...ugggh.

I'm embarrassed to tell you what "big enough" would actually translate into.

dh is a perfectionist..... he has to have cookies that are circles. when hes working on the house it has to be perfectly level...(even though every temperature change the house shifts and NOTHING is level.) it gets frustrating to watch him get something perfect (like installing a replacement window) to only have the house shift a week later and its no longer perfect but noticeably not straight.

I think most of my DH's weirdness comes from being a cop. It's a common issue among law enforcement called "hyper vigilance". DH has to sit facing the door when we go to restaurants (I don't even question which side of the table I will sit on any more). He always knows where all the entrances/exits are. He can usually give you a pretty solid estimate on how many people are in the room after only a minute or so. There's more, but you get the point. Sometimes it just feels like he's ALWAYS on duty... I know me & the kids are probably safer because of it, but sometimes I just wish he could relax.

He has this one Oakland Raiders baseball cap which is faded out to gray and stained, and he loves it! He refuses to throw it out and insists on wearing it in public, saying that all guys "understand".
