Full Version: The "strange" things that you do in real life...

I seen this topic on another board, and it's quite funny to see what everyone posts. A lot of things, you think only you do, but lots of other people do them as well laugh.gif

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 lick.gif

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* laugh.gif

* 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 laugh.gif

* Related to peeing again... ermm.gif When im playing a game/watching a TV show/movie, or doing something im enjoying/is important, I usually force myself to wait till im about to explode in the bladder before going and relieving myself - Too lazy to pee??? laugh.gif

* 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 laugh.gif

* 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 laugh.gif

* 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! laugh.gif I don't know if im actually sleeping when I think about the "write this down in the morning" part of it - Probably not sleeping, but drifting in and out of sleep - In other words, my brains still in cuckoo land laugh.gif

* 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 laugh.gif

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 wink2.gif

ME TOO!! lol

* When peeing, I get a shiver that never happens at any other time during the day.

* You know when a TV is on even though you cannot hear it or see it. (Tube TVs)

* Start thinking of a song and either your friend/family member thats humming it or it comes on the radio at the same time.

* I sneeze in 3s. Each time is worse then the last.

Your not alone with any of these!

* I always 'run' up stairs two at a time.

* I've had 'pee block' so bad I just gave up and came back 5 mins later. Thinking about running water does help though, but after going to many festivals this isn't much of an issue. Your generally peeing with 40 other guys at once there.

* I always dream that I am getting ready for work, then wake up to find I'm not dressed!

* I dream that I am late for work, I look at the clock in my dream, see that I'm late, wake, then rush around getting ready, only to find that I am now early for work.

* Pee shiver here too.

* Tube TVs and crappy equipment on standby drive me mad. Transformer hum also does my head in.

* Music gets into my dreams, and when I'm concentrating on stuff at work I don't hear a song on the radio, but I do start singing it after its finished.

* I love sunlight. I can't seem to function right without it. My brain just can't wake up without some intense light source like the sun. I can sleep for 12-20 hours at a time in a darkened room.

About half of those are practically from my list.
pee shivers, stage fright (pee-wise), tube tv sense

*I don't only have to skip a stair here and there, but I can't step on the last one going up or down.

*Internet taught me how to juggle.

*I talk like an idiot to animals. the cuter the animal, the dumber I sound.

*I too love 'warning' smells. markers, gasoline mmm.

*Favourite smell however, wet cement. just after a quick sun shower is the best.

*Shinier/fresher currency > old money. I'll trade all coins and bills for the new stuff when I get the chance

*I have this insatiable urge to put baby feet in my mouth. weirdest feeling ever. (hands feel weird too -but baby claws will slice you up)
