...or at least I think nobody else does:
1. I don't put my sugar in the coffee. Rather, I sip my coffee separately, while I empty sugar packet directly into my mouth. The theory behind it is that this allows to experience taste of bitter coffee and sweet sugar separately and introduces more enrichment in our lives.
2. When I see a dead animal on the road or on the street I hold few of my hair with my fingers until I see a living bird somewhere in the sky. Weird, I know. There is a theory behind that too, but I will spare you that.
3. I think I am the only mid-aged healthy male who can manage to hurt the ankle of his foot with the heel of his shoe from his other foot while walking casually on the street.
4. The joint of my right hand thumb feels differently when I move it compared to my left joint. Ever since I was a little kid I moved my thumbs every time when given directions consisting of "right" and "left" sides of my body.
5. I always look for the most beautiful female face in any given setting, almost automatic "beauty" contest my eyes and brain conduct when I enter to some room with many people. Almost obscene, I know, but thaaaaaats me. Other body parts matter too, but much less when I silently crown the winner in my mind.
6. Any casual use of F words in both public and private setting always feels like a direct assault against normalcy for me. Never been able to be close friend with any otherwise great guy who routinely uses profanities. Or call names to promiscuous females. Yes, even if latter "deserve" it.
7. Intake of any synthetic chemicals not found in nature (except hidden in the form of food) -- was always highly objected by my brain ever since I can remember myself. Cold pills or even vitamins included. Relatives almost force me to take drugs even when I lay down almost irresponsive with high fever. I dread the day I will be placed on regular diet of pills to control my blood pressure or fight other condition.
8. Movie or sport violence, even when I know no one gets seriously hurt in the end always had an effect opposite to enjoyment for me. Never understood the excitement from boxing, UFC, and Spartacus: Gods of Arena. The only odd exception from this rule is forceful physical contact between consenting adults done within BDSM setting. So yes, not everything is black and white, there are 50 shades to everything in life.
9. I drink socially any forms of alcohol, even 70% Mulberry Vodka, with the sole exception of beer. When I was 22 or so I suddenly realized that I never tasted a single drop of beer in my life. So I decided to make it my funny weird "personal fact" and fatefully abstained from any beer (even non-alcoholic), opting for wine instead.
10. Whenever I meet new Chinese friend and he/she tells me their European name, I always insist learning their actual Chinese name and become almost the only White person who opts to call them by their first Chinese name. Sometimes to learn the name I ask for the meaning, which usually has an interesting or even poetic story behind it.
