Fans like to learn little details about their favorite celebrities. Maybe finding out more about their daily interactions helps solidify the sense that they are genuinely nice people — we’re looking at you, Keanu Reeves. Maybe it’s just interesting to get a glimpse at some weird habits that make their personal lives work.

Whatever the case, finding out those tidbits of trivial information about our favorite celebrities is an exciting way to feel more connected to their world. When it comes to Kim Kardashian, there are definitely some quirks that make her unique. One of them has to do with her reaction to coffee sleeves. 

Kim Kardashian has come a long way 

Kardashian rose to fame in an unorthodox way. Back in 2007, the Kardashians weren’t really known for much other than a passing notion that the patriarch of the father had worked on O.J. Simpson’s defense team. They certainly didn’t have the name recognition, fame, or influence that they do today.

The catalyst for their reality TV stardom was the leaked release of Kim Kardashian’s sex tape with then-boyfriend Ray J. Some fans are even convinced — and a more than a little grossed out by the thought — that Kardashian’s mother, Kris Jenner, was behind the leak. Regardless of the details of how the video got to the public, it’s definitely the start of Kardashian’s long rise to fame. 

After spending years in the spotlight of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kardashian has increased her visibility even more by marrying megastar Kanye West.

Kardashian remains one of the most powerful social media influencers on the planet. She used that reach to launch a successful shapewear business and has ambitiously set her sights on a new legal career that will feed her passion for criminal justice reform. She has definitely come a long way from her sex tape scandal days and is now primarily known as a hard-working mother, wife, and businesswoman.

While Kardashian is undeniably successful, some fans also find her to be a bit weird. Her marriage to West has definitely been a central focus for several of the things that leave fans scratching their heads. Many people see their relationship as odd.

In particular, fans have been perplexed by the efforts West has made to control his wife’s appearance and public persona. They have also been baffled by the pair’s “minimalist” style for their house, which fans find off-putting. 

It’s not just big things like her marriage and her style that have people raising their eyebrows, though. Fans are constantly on the lookout for tiny details about Kardashian’s life, and they’re quick to pounce on oddities when they arise. When people found out that the star sleeps with her eyes slightly open, they were freaked out.

Adding to the ever-growing list of Kardashian’s odd quirks is her reaction to cardboard coffee sleeves. Many disposable coffee cups come with a cardboard sleeve to help buffer the drinker’s hand from the heat of the cup. Kardashian is apparently very put off by these devices. 

According to Stylecaster, she can’t even be in the same room when the sleeves are removed from the cup. “I leave the room for someone to take it off for me because I cringe from the sound. It’s like nails on a chalkboard for me. I hate cardboard,” Kardashian explained.

Hey, we all have our pet peeves, and at least Kardashian has the resources to have someone else take the sleeves off her coffee cups for her. Problem solved, it seems.
