Why do you do that? or The Strange Behavioral Quirks or Unusual Habits Thread

[knowsbleed]

Ok, well, everybody should avoid sitting on bare public toilet seats because of herpes... but I knew a woman who admitted to me that she squats on them in order to urinate. Feet on the seat, squatting. I think that's infinitely cool.

When I go shopping, I have to have a shopping cart that is in good rolling condition. If I get a shopping cart that veers to the left or right or has a wobbly wheel, I put it back and shuffle through them until I find one that meets my standards.

My food cannot touch each other... I have an utter hissy fit when it does. Full blown crybaby style.

I eat mayonnaise on my omelettes. It's good with fries too. Creamy.

In order to get a song un-stuck from my mind, I sing out loud the Transformers: The Movie (1986) Theme Song performed by Lion. Works any time, all the time.




What are some unusual things you do that you think are unique to you?

 

[steintym]

I check that stove/oven is off every night even if we haven't used it in weeks.

Even though I watch the garage door shut, I have to take a peak when I get towards the end of the block.

I blow my nose in the shower.

My veggies have to be in a separate bowl.

I like it absolutely freezing when I sleep. I open the window even in the dead of the winter.

I'm sure I can think of more.

(Some of mine are OCD related)

 

[Erzengel]

I need ice in every drink.

Even in the winter.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

i put french fries on my pizza, something I picked up when I traveled abroad to Italy.

I do the bolded. The shower is the best place to clean your nose... I can't think of a better place to do it aside from a place where you get to sit behind the person you hate the most.

I need ice in every drink.

Even in the winter.

I do this as well... you're not special.

i put french fries on my pizza, something I picked up when I traveled abroad to Italy.

Any particular kind of fries? What kind of pizza? What part of Italy? What's your social security number?

 

[Erzengel]

I don't have to take my clothes off, to have a good time, oh no.

 

[knowsbleed]

Sex with clothes on? Anything other than a quickie is too constrictive. See, now you've got me reminiscing.

 

[POWdER-man]

I have to sleep on a cold pillow (no matter what Season). I will continuously flip my pillow until I fall asleep. Even in the middle of the night I will wake up briefly to flip it again.

I like order so I am always doing things like reorganizing the can foods with the label facing out.

I am very anal with my razors where I clean and dry them completely after every use. The benefit of this I could use one blade for 3-4 months or more before it starts getting too dull to use. A package of 6 would probably do me for a couple of years if my wife didn't steal mine.

I sometimes tug on my hair as my scalp feels so tense and tight, it gives me a brief relief.

My doors in my house are always locked, no matter if I am awake and/or near the door. I constantly check them to make sure they are lock throughout the day and before I leave.

I hate wasting things, so if something breaks in my house I bring it to my workshop and see if I can fix it, if not I try to see if I can use some of it for parts or use it for another purpose. I hardly ever throw anything away if I can help it, although my wife sneaks behind me and throws them out instead when I am not around.

I used to have to keep my feet out of my covers no matter how cold it was but recently I have found that I have lost that obsession.

Certain things I cook/make have to be done a very certain way or I won't like it. I will still eat it but it won't be right in my head.

I am sure there are other things I am forgetting but there is a start.

I've started using this method after reading how it's much healthier due to being our natural position to take a ****. Not having to sit bare ass on a public toilet is nice too.

Let me guess: you're a struggling wannabe actor, who used to be a psychiatrist, or more accurately an analyst and a therapist, otherwise known as an ....

 

[Mace Dolex]

-everytime I used the fawcett I would sometimes tighten it too much just to make sure it was off, I've stopped doing it now.

-when buying a comic or magazine I usually go for the 3rd or 4th in the back since I know the first one has fingerprints and creases from browsers.

I do the same thing. I also don't like to drink from the same glass that another person is drinking from.

Some toilets in Japan force you to squat as well. Maybe you should move there.

anal-rapist?

 

[Steyin]

-I bite my nails for the sole reason of not liking their appearance; they must be even
-I pick my hair for dead follicles
-I rip out arm hairs that are deformed/stumpy (they are similar to split ends)
-I pull out eyelashes when something gets in my eye or they irritate me (it makes them feel better, at least that's what my brain thinks)
-I pick my nose instead of using q-tips since its healthier
-I won't eat broccoli unless it is the appropriate shade of green
-I won't eat chicken & broccoli from a Chinese restaurant unless it has the right sauce

I'll add more if I think of them, since there are more.

 

[Piper Maru]

1) I prefer even numbers.
2) I double check doors to make sure that they're locked.
3) I find small talk intolerable.
4) I frequently wash my hands.
5) I think out loud.
6) I have to have a television or radio on to fall asleep.

 

[steintym]

I eat peanut shells and sunflower seed shells ... Mmmmm!

 

[Colossal Spoons]

1)3) I find small talk intolerable.

Well this is understandable. Find me somebody who enjoys small talk...and I'll punch 'em.

 

[Quasimod0]

I kill every single cayote I see

 

[Bruce Banner]

Volume level in the Jeep will always be put on an even number.

I put BBQ sauce on my fish or anything seafood related.

I pack a duffel bag with a change of back up pair of clothes and toothbrush everyday. Just in case.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

-I write down every movie I see (being doing it since 2006 in a red hardcover note book).
-I put tissue paper around the toilet so my bum will be warm when I sit down.
-I need something on while I sleep (podcast, tv, dvd etc)
-I shave my back. I hate back hair. I love the feeling as the razor cuts it away.

 

[Duran Man]

I regularly have conversations and argue with myself.

 

[Soapy]

I eat mayonnaise on my omelettes.

 

[Lunar_Wolf]

Hahaha!

 

[bullets]

-I put tissue paper around the toilet so my bum will be warm when I sit down.

I started doing that with public toilets to avoid germs , but now it's a force of habit no matter which toilet I use.



Sometimes while eating I get a strange tick and shake my head. I started making a daffy duck sound with it to be funny and that stuck. So I'll do that every so often and people will laugh at me.

 

[TheAQU4M4N]

Whenever i get a new phone, I ask them to leave it in its plastic wrap.
