To fortune man is just a pawn,
And till from earth he's dead and gone,
A happy life he hasn't led
For Dest'ny cares not where we tread
In life, she is a terrible judge.
If you're at peace she'll give a nudge
Then soon you're wealth she'll confiscate
And leave you poor to speculate
Why fate has been so cruel

Of Idiosyncrasies

OK, I need some good character idiosyncrasies. Please comment on any weird little anecdotes, strange personality traits, or anything other odd things you can think of in people you know (friends relatives. And no need to mention names. Of course, you could... but...).

I would greatly appreciate it.

Well, someone I know used to check the doorknobs of our house like five times before we left for church...if that is weird(I think so)

Another person I watched on tv used to get ketchup packs from restaurants and then squeeze them into a larger ketchup bottle to save money.

Oh...a funnier one.
Some guy I know, his wife got rid of a pink purse and told him to throw it out. Anyways, she looks at him walking across the street and he was carrying the pink purse! He used it to hold his tools in, but I think that is pretty funny, especially in a 70+ yr old man.

Hum well I wonder if you ever watched Catch Me if You Can?Probabaly not.Its actually based on a true story about a guy who is basically the best faker ever.So you probably do not want to watch it.But I loved it!It is like one of my favorite movies!Okay so anyways this guy fakes it big time, lets see he writes his own checks and he impersonates all these different people(oh yes and I love how naive the people are..Its so great).First hes a pilot(?)I think and then a doctor and then a lawyer(yes he passed the bar exam without studying(and this is all true)),And then theres the police guy who keeps trying to catch him but he actually lets him go at one part of the movie since he didn't know how he looked!Yes, he just let the guy walk out (WITH all his stuff that he needed to make his fake checks and name tags) and make a fool of him.Anyways so he is finally caught( by the French I think) and then he WALKS OUT of the prison!Impersonating a guard of course.Anyway this is basically the best movie ever.Oh yea and when the American police catch him he ends up becoming there check fraud guy for the FBI.It was so so so good!

Anyways I'm not sure you manted all that information but you should watch the movie sometime.Oh and I may not have all my facts right since I haven't seen for like a year but that is the jest of it and the thing I can not get over is that this guy was for real!I mean this actually happened. Anyways...I love it!

um

that's why I watch the pretender :|

am I missing the point, or did that not have anything to do with my questions...?

btw, thanks a lot Amanda. Those are great (the purse sounds like my dad... lol). Some good ideas. I'm using the doorknob one right now :)
Thanks

Hmmm, If this helps (maybe its to late), I know this guy that is into the gold market, and he hides his gold and other type of coins (and this is true)In the bottom of small trash cans around the house. Its etremley strange.
