What I mean by "strange" things, are actions/tasks/thoughts you have/carry out that you think to be unique, or that do you do subconsciously only realising on reflection. Usually you may think to yourself these are weird, and don't discuss them... only to realise others do similar things and most can be laughed off, as opposed to people thinking you're a psychopath
These can be related to life, technology, food, music, people, ect... anything really.
I'll kick off with a few things I do/think...
* When im out (in a club/concert/ect) I sometimes get small "clouds of paranoia" where I think I've lost my phone/wallet/keys/jacket ticket and check for everything I have in every pocket on me - Alcohol could help spur this on, but even when im out and not drinking, this can still happen.
* I sometimes hit "pee block" when im at a crowded urinal, and then further get frustrated through trying harder to start peeing (I try to send mental thoughts from my head of PEE PEE PEE to my man), which in return causes things to start up even slower/not start at all, and then that makes me worried that others around (the guy who started and finished before I even started) will think I just decided to come stand at the urinal to hangout... *phew*
* Before I go to sleep at night I usually make sure my bed is perfectly made, the sheets are tidy and the pillows are plump, just to get into it and mess it all up - I usually spend more time once in bed moving everything around again. Unless im drunk though, then im lucky if I even make it under the covers before crashing out
* Related to peeing again...
* When im going out, and im the last one out the house (have to lockup), I sometimes start worrying 5-10mins after I've left the house (in my car, on a bus, on the train) if I locked the door?... then it goes to did I turn off iron after I used it this morning?... to did I turn off the grill after I made my bacon sandwiches for breakfast?... ect. Then I usually go "oh well, &%^* happens" and forget about caring if any of the above could of happened
* When I was younger (12/13), I used to deliberately watch scary movies when my parents were out to scare myself... but then afterwards regret it and end up turning every light on in the house/putting every TV on till they came home
* Sometimes when I have a dream in which I "invent" something, or come up with a cool idea, I think to myself "while dreaming", when I wake up im going to write this down and become rich/famous!
* I have an issue with any electrical device being low on battery - By that though I mean ipods/PSP/DS being at like 25-30%, where in reality it would last another few hours, I get paranoid and have to charge it back to 100%
* I always seem to run up stairs.
* Never set dials to uneven numbers - Like a volume nob, it has to be even. 2/4/6/8/10, ect.
* I pee on the sides of the toilet as not to create a loud pouring noise.
* I usually wake up 5-10 mins before my alarm goes off.
* I tend to spend a fair amount of time stroking my chin shortly after I've shaved to ensure it's smooth as. Likewise if I haven't shaved in a while, I like to stroke my beard every now and then to check progress.
* When I take the lid off a new marker, I sometimes can't help smell it.... No, I don't get high off pens
I have lots in my head I could write down to humour everyone, but there's a few to kick us off. I'll add more to the topic over time.
I posted this topic on NW and it went to 11 pages of crazy shit. Good laugh haha. It was an even longer topic on the site I originally seen it posted (Waffles).
ps. I am in perfect mental health for the record
