Weird things you do just because

I say potatoes, you say potators....

Apparently.

:p I shall leave it, as you have kindly recorded it for posterity. :D

So, you're saying it's a quality vs. quantity debate? Let the big vs little endian wars commence! :p

:D

I am indeed, and there's nothing better than a crispy little gravy-soaked roast potato as the last mouthful. :cool:

Funny - of all the weird things in this thread, this is the only one that seems weird to me. Someone broke up with you because you close your eyes while kissing? Maybe if you close them, oh I don't know.. 5 minutes beforehand, fair enough!;)

Yeah, or make a face of disgust when you touch their lips.

And I'd be freaked out if someone looked at me while they kissed me. Sometimes I take a peek, but never for more than a second or so.
 
Ohhh, I thought of one. When you have something like 'Yeah... Right' It always has to be 3 dots, don't know why but it has to be 3

I always close my eyes when I kiss too. My GF does too, but sometimes I catch her taking a peek, which means I guess I do too... lol

That's grammatically correct, I believe, so at least your compulsion is right. :p

haha, you see, every day really is a school day. That I did not know, I just thought it was a me thing. In quite a strange way I think im dissapointed.

Maybe you started it? :D We should call them Marklesharkmarks :D
 
Thanks guys. I'm feeling quite normal now. :)

On the other hand, just as someone who's mad doesn't know it, maybe I'm the crazy one...

:(

:confused:

:eek:

Ooh! Ooh! I just thought of another one:

I always savour the last bite. The last crisp. The last chip. The last biscuit. If I eat the last one without noticing, it spoils the whole eating experience - I'm still hungry!
 
You people are weird! :D

The best I could come up with is...

I hate leaving food on my plate. Even if I'm so stuffed I'm about to explode, I keep trying to finish what's on my plate. It takes strength to give in and not finish.

I wash my hands every time I enter the house.

Often after I say something, I subconsciously mouth what I just said again. I have no idea why or when. My cousin pointed it out to me years ago and sometimes I will catch the tail end of my my silent re-utterance and think "dang, I did it again".

When I'm given a fork or spoon to save for dessert, I will place it in my sock (like army guys strap knives to their socks in the movies). This is less an OCD thing and more a habit I developed over years of being a silly counsellor at summer camp. Also a habit from camp, I always sing our national anthem "O Canada" half in English and half in French.

I am creeped out by dark basements.
 
I love how people post here saying "You guys are so weird" and then follow up with some bizarre obsessions of their own. I think you're all certifiable.

:D
 
I believe there was a OCD thread a while ago but here goes...

I have to click on the button on the E-Brake for the car even though i know its released

I will check a minimum of 2 times after rolling up a window that its actually rolled up. I've had to replace a relay switch in 2 cars from doing this.

If the car has a alarm i have to hear it make the locking noise at least a couple of times. On my current car i just have to stare at the door in a locked position since its all keyless.

door locks freak me out, i have to check them a couple times to make sure its locked.

If im at a burger place i have to eat my fries before even touching the burger.

I'm sure there is more but this is enough weirdness for now :D

I have a habit of making sure the car windows are always up, so I play with the switches.

I also eat steaks the same way every time: cut through the center to make sure it's cooked properly, then eat the left side (I cut it vertically, so there is a left and right side) from the middle out, then I eat the right side from the middle out.

Really? How bizarre. I don't like it when people kiss with their eyes open. It's creepy.

same here. you gotta have your eyes closed. :cool:

and this is a hilarious thread. :D I have plenty of weird habits going on, but I have never actually thought about them until now...but I do alot of things JUST BECAUSE! I am going think some more about this before making a list!! And I want to keep reading other peoples issues!! :)
 
It's a fantastic thread. Good shout to the OP.

I don't think this counts, but sometimes I get realllllllly frustrated with my GF when she touches me. Not anywhere inpaticular, just when she touches me. I gets really bad. I never want to say anything coz I sound like a bit of a w****r but it gets so bad that I end up winding myself up because its winding me up if you know what I mean, it gets me soooooooo mad! Strange!

Hmmm...
You're never going to have kids.
 
I cannot stand working with my back to a door or someone looking at my screen. My wife comes in my office and checks her email on my laptop next to me and I just lock up, brain stops working and I go blank till she leaves again. I am fine if she is standing in front of the desk. This isnt a problem most of the time when I work at home, but I get bugger all done when I go down to the main company office for the day.

When washing up my daughters bottles when she was a baby I always had to wash them and stack them in the same order, main bottle section, screw on bit, teets, lid. Wife used to wind me up about it as they were always lined up on the draining board.

The windows on my desktop when coding also have to be perfectly lined up with a firefox window on the left half of the left screen, 2 full length aterm screens one on the right of the left monitor, one on the left ont the right monitor, both taking half a screen each, then the last half of the right hand monitor is split between another 2 aterm screens which both take up half the horizontal height each.

I say 'Pardon' all the time even tho most of the time I actually heard what the person said. Its just habit as I do have crap hearing.

I keep 3 lots of training logs for my triathlon training in 3 different pieces of software and keep them all up to date.

I cant sleep on a warm pillow. I have two pillows and when one side warms up I flip it over, when that warms up I swap the pillows. If both pillows warm up I am buggered and cant get to sleep for ages. I keep meaning to invest in a Chillow.

Prob loads more, it isnt till you start writing them all down that you realise how freaky you are.
 
Here's something I just noticed myself doing: I play guitar, and often find myself chewing on my guitar picks and/or fiddling around with it in my mouth.

Ha *Doesn't care* I drink like 1-2 pints of milk a day. Who cares? Me? Nope... I love cows, infact I love dairy and will until the day I die, milk, cheese its all good. I don't smoke, don't take drugs either. I am sick to **** of this nanny state!! Don't do this, its bad for you, don't do that think about 500 years from now and what that'll do, don't do that, don't do this. Bored of that! Sick of people telling ME what I can do...

Vegans? They piss me off the most... Must conserve the planet. Stop eating the bastard then!!

Here here! Agree with all your points. Anyway these are some of the things I do
Have to eat with certain cutlery with certain meals
Have to eat at exact times of the day or I get upset
Dress in a certain order
Eat in a certain order
The milk I drink has to be drank in a certain order so that every second day when I make breakfast theres a tiny bit left to drink out of the carton

I know! I figured that out earlier because as I kept reading some of the "weird" things started to become things that I do!!! It is funny! :D
