When eating a banana
I always have to pull of any of the little strings that have slightly come off. Did it since I was a child, and have never stopped...I don't think I could if I wanted to.

The black bits at the end
I can never eat those.
But thats down to being told when i was about 10 or so, that the ends were black because thats where the big tropical spiders laid their eggs

Ah yes, I avoid those as well
But that's an amazing reason!

They're called phloem bundles, and you're not alone.
