Eccentricity.

(1 minute read.)

Yeah...

We all have our little foibles… the slightly strange habits or characteristics, the harmless quirks.

I've often found them to offer insights on the nature of a person, and useful in business deals.

I certainly have plenty, some of which embarrass me. Others, I quite like; for example, my recent bathmat purchase.

I bought it for the kids?

Hardly… my youngest moved out years ago. He's 38.

No, I bought it for myself… I like it, it makes me smile.

In a particularly ridiculous episode of my Asperger's behavior I was struggling to make a decision on what bathmat to buy as a replacement for the no-longer-sensibly-useable one I'd retained for too long (I don't like, and struggle with, change).

Many of those available (often white or avocado color) resembled something from a hospital, or the 1950s. Perhaps even a hospital in the 1950s.

I ummed-and-ahhed, over several days (remember, I did say earlier that it was ridiculous) genuinely desperately trying to be sensible. And bought the frog.

So yeah, it's here as another example of me.
