I am the only person in the whole world who... →[More:]...eats a deli sandwich with a knife and fork if it starts to get too messy. Or a hamburger if I'm out dining with friends in an actual restaurant.

...gets into the shower and then turns the water on. Yes, even if it's just a shower stall instead of a shower/tub combo where you can get the temperature to the right level and then turn the shower part on.

...coughs and it sounds like a sneeze.

You?

Six billion people. Whatever comes after the ellipsis, the answer is no.

I kinda agree with Wolfdog, but it still feels like I'm the only person in the world who...

... wears a party dress as a nightie.

... has fond memories of eating an entire pint of pistachio ice cream with her fingers.

... asked for pothos cuttings as a wedding present.

...gets into the shower and then turns the water on. Yes, even if it's just a shower stall instead of a shower/tub combo where you can get the temperature to the right level and then turn the shower part on.

Oh, no, you're not. Greetings, my shower-sister!

Truly enjoyed the 109°F (43°F) temperature and 40 mph (64 kph) winds at Death Valley the other day.

I sniff every bite and every sip of everything I eat and drink before it goes in my mouth.

How is it even possible to turn the shower on if you aren't inside it?

posted by gomichild 15 September | 14:31

You reach in and turn it on.

I am the only person in the world who planted zucchini and didn't get any. Twice.

Your shower doesn't have a remote starter?

Sometimes I wonder if I'm the only person in the world who doesn't believe in solipsism.

Am I only the only person in the world who doesn't know what "planted zucchini" is a euphemism for?

I think I am the only person on the planet who gets.any.of.this. And before you go asking what 'this' is, don't bother, because you obviously don't.get.it.

Um, TrishaLynn, are you sure you're not me? Because I must be the only other person in the world who does all three of those.

I've heard of you step into the shower then turn the water on types and I have to say, I think you're a bogglingly brave and adventurous bunch.

I am the only person in the world who wishes that "planted zucchini" was a euphemism.

Woo hoo! I'm shower buddies with Elsa and casarkos! I am also pretty sure I am not casarkos. I think.

...may be the only person who wears overalls AND a sport coat.

... may be the only person who hosts a radio show dedicated to Appalachian murder ballads AND downtempo electro/glitch/house music.

... went on a first date ON THE OPPOSITE COAST. Using a one-way plane ticket.

... went to college for Filipino Studies, is white, and was asked by the Filipino Society of said college to be President of their organization.

... who cleans beaches of syringes, shotgun shells, dogshit and tampon applicators for fun.

I am the only one who hates the bands, movies, and books you love. It gets old.

...is not IRFH's sockpuppet.

Elsa...I wear a cute party dress as a nightie at times. You're not alone!

Cat Pie Hurts...a friends' husband smells everything before he eats/drinks it too. And now has a son who does the same thing.

LT....I applaud you on your cross-country first date (and how well it worked!) But I did have a guy fly across the country after meeting me on the road ONCE. And I mean fly TO me, not away! :^)
