Weird Quirky Crap You Do

[R.B.]

I can never remember something unless something relating to it appears/occurs.

 

[BCLG100]

I keep my gf waiting to finish sending civ4 pbem saves

 

[Kennigit]

I always have my clock 10 minutes ahead of the actual time.

 

[warpus]

i spit in the toilet/toilet before i can use it.. and it if doesn't land in the middle or if my spit breaks apart, i have to do it again.. sometimes when i get it right i force myself to do it 3 or 4 times.

hey, i know, that's weird.

 

[Ansar]

Uh, I have a bit of OCD, but in the sense that my work must always be neat.

I'm pretty sure I do weird things, though I can't think of any.

 

[The 777 Hoax]

It is impossible for me to sit when talking on the phone... I always pace.

Ya, I do that one, although I don't repeat it if I miss (note: I never miss).

Yep it's wierd, why don't you put a rubber duck in there and try to sink it LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

I have a junk short term memory. What were we talking about again... oh yeah French kissing. Anyway my wife askes me to kiss my mother in law frequently. Nothing too freaky has happened yet, but sooner or later, in the nanoseconds between the request and the action, I'll totally forget that I'm not kissing my wife and my hands will do something regretable. It's only a matter of time........

Does anyone else worry about that?

No, but now I worry about what you think of your mother in law!

 

[Sashie VII]

When I'm trying to solve a problem or situation, I talk to myself as if discussing with another person. Only, the other person is also me, so I'm answering my own questions.

Crystallises my thinking, I think.

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

I derive perverse pleasure in beating the crap out of kids less than half my age

I laugh in the face of context

 

[IglooDame]

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.

 

[kuukkeli]

I always have either window open or computer on (at times both) when I sleep to generate some background noise.

I do conversations in my head (sometimes me and imaginary person, sometimes just fictional characters).

I always check that the door chain is on before I go to sleep, even if I've put it on myself just a moment ago.

 

[RubricousMidget]

I also discuss with fictional characters. Showing them my home town and debating the merits of the present vs. their timeframe (I never read or watch anything set in the present) are favourites.

I also sort stuff in my head. Letters, numbers, symbols... And I always try to make them odds, because I want them to "hinge" on the "center". I even have a personal ranking system for letters based on how "tidy" their sizes are. The letters a, b, c, d, e, g, h, k, n, o, p, q, s, u, v, x, y, z, ø and å are my favourites, and I dislike the letters f, t, r, I and J utterly. My second favourite "class" consists of A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, K, L, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, X, Y, Z, Æ, Ø, m, w, æ, and my second least favourite is M, W and Æ. I also hate duplicate letters and instances where the letter order breaks the consonant, vowel, consonant format, and I try to order them so that each side of the word has equal "weight". This makes the word "wotalyrem" a perfect word. Or I rank them with the consonant following a pattern of equal descending order: "Mawonutel". Also permissible would be "moti".
I also order all numbers up to try to make them into the numbers 6, 10, 15 or 21, or to become a number like 737, 757, 666, 69, the current year or any other "significant" number.
In addition, I order all patterns of symbols into circles, hexagons, lines or other shapes hinging around a central symbol.

Weird enough yet ?

I also pour milk over my ice cream.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I have these weird conversations with "George Washington," sort of daydreaming, imagining how I would explain the world, and the past two hundred years to him, if we could somehow bring him forward in a time machine or something. I actually do it a lot, and sometimes dont' realize that I'm doing it. I give entire history lessons without it occuring to me that I'm talking, much less that I'm not actually talking to anyone.

 

[Love]

I use my room only to sleep in...

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

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

I do that too, but to different people on different subjects of progress. Maybe it's a handy way to recap and reinforce stuff we've learned?

 

[jeps]

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 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.
