Weird Quirky Crap You Do

[Nylan]

When I'm walking around in my house, I don't use my heels

when going down stairs i NEVER step on the bottom stair except on Tuesdays

 

[Perfection]

I enjoy razor burn.

Why limit yourself to George Washington? I've explained the basics of humanity's history to the aliens from one book or another.

I've done aliens once or twice, but George Washington is the most common, probably because he was one of the founders of our country. That's what I wind up explaining to him the most, is how much our country has changed, and how it's done so.

Does he have a deep voice?

I imagine he'd be a bit bewildered...

To be honest, the best I remember is that is sounds an awful lot like the guy who plays Sam Adams in the respective beer commericals.

That's actually pretty awesome.

More quirky crap: I like to have many calendars. There are four in my room right now, and I still never remember what day it is.

- - I'll walk a good half mile if doing so avoids a phone conversation

I take it you don't carry a cellphone with you, then -- and every time a phone rings elsewhere and it's for you, you promptly go for a half-mile walk?

Putting barbecue sauce on fries isn't quirky is it? I was told it was a couple days ago, but I thought nearly everyone does it.

Barbecue sauce is not only yummy on fries, it also goes nicely on the fish (in reference to the cod in fish and chips -- I'd never put barbecue sauce on any other kind of fish).

Me, too! I'm glad I'm not the only person around here who has a calendar obsession! I can't seem to remember what day it is unless I can remember what I watched on TV the previous night (I watched "Survivor" last night, so it must be Friday now...).

A couple of my own quirks:

If I'm on hold with customer service and they don't have any music in the background, I'll sing something.

I absolutely MUST have more than a half-bottle of water beside my bed at all times.

I talk for myself and think on english somtimes... It's pretty weird

 

[RubricousMidget]

I used to dream in English before I really knew the language. Stumbling English, where the dream was put on hold every other word as I rummaged about in my vocabulary. And sometimes English subtitled in Norwegian.

 

[Sashie VII]

Sometimes I unconsciously think in English (not my 1st language) and then speak it out in other languages.

 

[azzaman333]

I hum the music from F-Zero X to myself.

When eating a bag of Skittles or M&Ms at my desk I'll empty out the bag and separate the colors, then eat the color groups one at a time.

I do that too, and then I have to eat even amounts of each color.

I do the opposite. I seperate into colour, and then eat in order (must have the same amount of each colour at any given time) until I have one left of each colour. And then I eat the red ones FIRST, just to piss them off.

Wow, I'd forgotten that I used to do that with Smarties. I haven't had any for years, though, but now I want some just so that I can colour-sort them and eat them in patterns.

Ditto, except that I would do that in French and Spanish, when I was first learning them.

I switch between languages without knowing. The sentance (not exact, words somewhat changed, but still) Watashi (I in Japanese) aime (like in French) et (? [no meaning really] in hebrew) Civilization (English) I did this without knowing. A three word sentence (ie I like Civilization), in four languages.

I got stared at, and didnt realize. I also am more than fluent in FreeBrew (not free beer). It is when I talk hebrew and use french words or talk french and use hebrew words. I remember in Gr. 9 French class, when my teacher yelled at me for asking "est-ce que je peux aller au sherutim?"

I like to sleep with a fan on, but I recently went through a week of self-induced torture without the fan, now I can use it at will, and it turns out, I sleep the same with or without it.

To think easier, i aimlessly walk around in circles.

I always do that when I`m studying for a test, though usually when there are people around, I won`t speak aloud, but repeat whatever I`m trying to learn in my thoughts.
And while doing that I always unconsciously rearrange the sentences so they have a regular metrum, which matches the rhythm of my steps.
And since my dog usually starts following me around with a ball/stick/whatever she wants me to throw, I usually end up playing with the dog while studying.
So when my family sees me wandering through the living room aimlessly, muttering to myself and being followed by the dog they know a test is coming up and they had better not bother me

Something else I do is, when I`m driving and think a traffic light I`m stuck in front of has been red too long I insult it.

When I want to go to sleep, it bothers me if
- my TV and PC are still plugged in
- Light is coming in through my blinds or
- my bedroom door and/or closet door are open
Unless I`m really tired this bothers me to the extent that I "have to" get up and fix it before I fall asleep

And somehow I can never, ever, sleep longer than 7.30, even if I was up and awake until 5 in the morning I`ll wake up at that time at the latest, unable to fall asleep again.

Walking around when thinking is weird and quirky? I thought it pretty normal behaviour ...

I use to put on my socks as the last thing i do in before i go in the morning

Same here. I just think "I want clean socks when I leave", go figure.
