Odd things you do that nobody else does (or so you think)

Remove all ads!

I also abhor the idea of toilet roll going underneath

I talk to myself and answer myself

I have to have music playing to fall asleep

 

Oh, another one: I hate modern transport and avoid it unless it's absolutely necessary. That is, I walk everywhere. If I only went to and from college all week I'd still be maxing around 30 miles walking a week - it's quite a distance to college. I know no one who walks as much as I do... which is why I think it's a bit odd.

 

Sign me in for bhoring tp that goes the wrong way...

When I eat, I need to chew everything evenly - it makes me feel annoyed if I can't feel "balanced".

I don't like wearing clothes unless I have to

 

Good for you, Sir Farivald - walking is great. There are too many cars on the road around here.

Arabwel, please stay dressed whilst on the Boards.

 

Haha, Susi, that is true, that is true...

Well, Fel, some women like 'em sweaty.


As for me:

I can't have pictures taken of me up close, and I only do that when it is absolutely necessary to.

I rip my fingernails and toenails off (not completely, but shorter than they should be), and I can never have them grow out so that I can see more than a millimeter or two of white.

I need to click the caps of highlighters (by pulling it off and putting it backon rapidly), and it is very difficult to try not to)

I air guitar and air scream randomly.

I air-baseball all the time (pretend I have a baseball bat or ball in my hand, and windup or swing with it)

No one except my closest of closest friends can touch my food with their hands, or anything thats been in their mouth. So, I have to grab my pizza myself!

 

Other things I thought of after posting:

I keep my hung up shirts with the fronts facing west. I don't know how I know it's west, but it feels right.

You face the stock at the grocery when employees aren't around.

I sleep on the south side of the bed.

@HB - Weird is better than boring! I'm happy I'm not so boring.

@Jigga - I do the dishes.

 

I also find the urge to eat junky food after seeing it in movies - chinese food, hotdogs and fries, that kind of stuff...

 

- The sound on my discman must always be on an even number, no matter what.
- I put water in a glass, add uncooked rice and eat it with a spoon
- I eat cold pizza
- I drink an even number of cans of Coke Zero every day

 

- I do that 'pop' or 'crack' bone thing with my neck almost every half hour; my girfriend keeps telling me everytime that someday I will get my head off because of the 'noisy' sound it does, but hey, I feel better after doing it.
- Whatever I'm doing at home, I have to listen music, if not possible in the... how you call it? the thing that has radio, cassette/cd player? then I use my Zen.
- I can have pizza or a sandwich for breakfast, but I don't like coffee or the usual thing you have for breakfast.
- Very annoying for everyone else watching a movie with me: I find the mistakes, the continuity shots, and many time I spoil the plot because to me, is too predictable (sp?).
_ I don't watch reality shows, and here, believe me, is very weird.

 

I never watch tv

 

I wish I was like you, Lynadin. Most programs suck, anyway. I'm normally only interested in weather forecasts, so I still watch less than 10 hours of TV per month. I prefer reading or gaming.

I feel sick if I sleep a number of hours that's not divisible by 2.

I talk to myself when I'm thinking.

 

I almost never finish anything I do.

I sing to myself quietly in public, which tends to turn heads and gather disapproving looks.

I sing to myself with huge volume and gusto when I'm certain that nobody's in the immediate vicinity, which tends to drive the neighbors to a brink of rage.

It's not that I'm a bad singer, but when I do go off key, I burst out laughing. Need I mention here how much looks this gathers?

Since I watched too many musicals when I was little I'm still affected by them, and sometimes I do a little dance in public places. This usually includes a bit of singing as well. I'm not a good dancer.

 

Last time I turned on my TV was in March

 

- I own no music, nor do i really listen to music

- I somehow really dislike celebrities

- On photos I smile like mad ****

- I always write 4-5 in german tests although I read about 400+ pages a week :/

- oh yeah and that toilet paper thing

 

When watching something with subtitles in two lines, I can't help but try to mentaly equilibrate both lines by moving words from one line to another (keeping them in the correct order for the sentence) till they are as close as possible to equal in length, without splitting words.

I can't regulate any volume without at least 2 pushes on the button. For the rest, there are no real rules as to which exact number I want, except I don't like 14 and 17.

And I agree, if the toilet paper is going under, I turn it around. I never use it that way. Toilet paper should go over.

 

I can't stand under inset lights in bathrooms, since they always seem to have dead bugs in them. Even if they don't, I avoid them.

My mp3 player cannot be at volume 7 or 13. They are the numbers I hate.

I talk to myself.

I call people n00bs, but only since watching Pure Pwnage.

I get annoyed by incorrect spellings of everything except licence/lisense/lisence/license and embaras/embarrass/embarass/embarras, which I can't spell myself.

 

More:

@DotW: Ah, right. The sound on my audio system always ends up on an even number, too. Preferably 8 or 12.

@Lynadin: Same, same.

And sometimes I wear suity shirts on turtleneck shirts for parties.

And I don't watch porn.

@Alavin: If you're American, it's license everywhere. If not, it's license everywhere as a noun (then it's licence). And the other one is embarrass -- two r's and two s's. Now you can start hating all people who misspell anything.

 

I can only sleep with one sock on.

I tend to stand around outside in the snow wearing shorts and doing nothing.

I can't sleep for more than 2 hours without getting up and walking around.

I own all of the Balders Gate games/expansions and have NEVER played past the first couple minutes.

 

The volume on the TV has to be in multiples of 2 or 3.

I pop my joints often. Specially neck and wrist. I don't know anyone here who can crack their shoulder joints as loudly as I can.

I deliberately walk on cracks

As far as possible I try to keep the lights to my side. If they are behind or in front of me, I get a headache.

I prefer tea and coffee cold.

When counting, I count in multiples of 3 or 5.

I never finish a game the first time I start. However I will always read a book from first page to last. Unless I get my hands on another book, in which case I finish that first.

 

- When I go alone somewhere, I walk, no metro, no bus, I walk almost 8km everyday.
- I can be awake for hours, without light or noise, but in the moment I put my headphones to listen music, I fall asleep in about 2 minutes, and if for some reason the music stops, I wake up. (I hate it)
- My mobile company charges me 9€ just for having the mobile, but I just spend about 3€ per month while most kids I know spend that 3€ in about half day...
- Even now in winter, and temperature is about 5º, I wear just a t-shirt and walk barefoot while girfriend/relatives look at me in despair for not catching cold or flu. (If something is not well written, sorry.)
