Put your shoes on, its time for dinner

We all have our own unique quirks, things we do that others around us might think are weird or downright strange and odd. One of the interesting things about living with someone, is learning all about their different quirks, and discovering whether or not you can live with those habits, and if you find them endearing or not.

For me, I have a thing with the bathroom. I cannot, under any circumstance, bring food or a drink into the bathroom, and then eat or drink it. It will automatically go in the trash. I am convinced that once said food item or drink is placed on the counter it will be attacked by nasty bathroom germs.

Now, I've noticed a few things about my fiance, little habits, that are nothing as retarded as my fear of the almighty nasty bathroom germ Nazis, but last night I discovered something I never knew before:

Me: "Dinner is on the table, baby"
Him: "OK" (Gets up and slips on his shoes)
Me: (Looking perplexed) "Um, why are we putting on our shoes?"
Him: "Don't you know, I can't eat without my shoes on"
Me: (Laughter)

Looking back, I realize now that his shoes have been on for every meal we've ever had, even if he is eating something in bed. When asked if he can ever eat without his shoes on, he says he can, but he feels weird. Of course I gave him a hard time about it, in a joking, loving manner, because it is kinda cute, and really, I can't say much after my bathroom phobia. It just goes to show that no matter how weird you are, there is someone out there just as weird.
