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

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)

 

I need ice in every drink.

Even in the winter.

 

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

 

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

 

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 ....

 

-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.

 

-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.

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

I kill every single cayote I see

 

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.

 

-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.

 

I regularly have conversations and argue with myself.

 

Hahaha!

 

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.

 

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