Really weird stuff people do that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

I think it’s ok to do odd things like put a remote in a bag as long as you realise it’s a bit odd (does sleeping in the hotel bed not bother her?) it’s when people do odd things but don’t realise it, like a friend of mine won’t let you dry your hands on a tea towel, apparently they’re only for dishes, so you’re supposed to walk from the kitchen to the loo to wash your hands if you’re cooking 🙄

I once got an absolute bollocking in a Home Economics lesson in the 1980s for doing this. The teacher went absolutely bananas and screeched 'would you dry your hands on tea towel at home, I don't think so!'
I thought 'well err yes I would!'
Apparently I was expected to dry my hands with paper towels and not the tea towel.
I've roundly ignored that for the last 4 years and dry my hands on tea towels with impunity.

My neighbour goes out and moves his car 10 feet every single time someone has the audacity to have parked outside his gate - as soon as they depart, he’s out - even if it’s pissing down! Why?

I have to finish my book each night on an even number, have the volume on the car radio on an even number and have the light switches facing down where there are two-way systems.
Surely someone else has a numbers thing 🤞😲😂😵‍💫?

Who doesn't?

I think the squash idea is sensible! We used to make a jug of squash and leave in the fridge so people can just pour from it. Why is that weird? 😂

Fear of fire?

Three. I do it too. I turn the microwave and oven off at the wall so that there are no red lights winking away in the kitchen at night. It's not OCD, it's just habit.

My next door neighbour pegs her washing out a couple of items at a time, walks back down the garden, goes back in collects more, pegs that out, goes bk in gets 2 more items over and over ( no disabilities ect ), same with getting it in. Better than the other side whose washing has been hanging out for almost a month.

My inlaws have no kitchen bin. Any rubbish, recycling or food waste has to be taken to the outside bin after every meal. This is out through a back boot room, across a patch of grass, and into one of the garages. At least 3 times a day every day.

Some people won’t use hotel kettles as apparently people piss in them or worse. Don’t know how true but it wouldn’t surprise me 😂

Can't believe I am posting this at 1.20 am but mushroom peeling is something I find quite satisfying. Seriously. Flip out the stalk then the loose skin peels off perfectly. I haven't bought mushrooms for ages but think I shall have a mushroom omelette tomorrow.

🙂🍄

I also have a numbers thing but it's a bit too complicated to explain at this hour and I'm tired 😴

People who drive excessively large cars when they only use their vehicle for commuting and errands (there are valid reasons for owning a larger car, such as being disabled or being a handyman character who moves lots of shit around, but these reasons do not apply to the overwhelming majority of people).
There's rarely a valid reason for owning a large car- people think it's normal to sink huge sums of money into cars, just because they think they are impressing people that they don't even like.

Some people sit in their cars with the engine running. Why? The AA and RAC have advised this damages the car's engine, and that car engines should be switched off when vehicles are stationary. So why leave the engine running?

Personalised number plates. Or people putting that stupid plane wing on the back of their car. Getting "twat" tattooed across your forehead would achieve the same thing.

Lying sprawled out on the grass, or on a beach, on hot days. This quite literally serves no purpose. It is something that people only do because they have seen other people doing it.

Men taking photographs of themselves. I'm ugly. Most men are ugly. Taking a photograph of yourself doesn't change that.

The really weird duckface pouty-lip facial expression that people do in photographs. This one is disgusting.

Seeing dozens and dozens of men flocking to a woman's photographs on social media and all of them telling her how wonderful she is. Cringe.

People listening to shit and generic music in the charts just because everyone else listens to it, and they think that's what they are supposed to like. There's nothing wrong with liking different music.

I rinse dishes and give them a quick scrub before putting them in the dishwasher, which seems perfectly sensible to me, but my DW and MIL think I'm odd.

I'm not am I?

I do this I thought everyone does

My neighbours sit outside their front door almost every waking minute. They have put a little table with two chairs there and it drives me and DP crazy because it’s next to our front door.

They both work opposite shifts with weekends off together and one or both of them is outside no matter what the weather conditions are with no shelter.

I get up in the night for a drink and they will be sat there, DP goes to work early morning and one or both are there, I get up to go out STILL there…
They occasionally go inside to eat but then come straight back, I had to mute my doorbell notifications but I worked out this weekend apart from a brief period between 3 and 5am the space was occupied.
They have young children who visit on the weekend but they just stay inside whilst their dad and stepmum sit at their table smoking and on a weekend drinking all day.
It can be pouring with rain but they don’t care, I have no idea why they pay for a property and don’t just live in a tent with a portable table and chair set, I saw a huge tv delivered once which was a waste of money.
On a separate random note I’ve never seen them bringing their shopping in, or any other neighbours.

The weirdest thing about this is that there is a huge beautiful garden they could sit in and have and give privacy, they don’t entertain that idea though!

I have many little quirks including - rushing into the house shouting “I came as soon as I heard!” Whenever I return home and DP is in.

Lifting the cat up and singing “circle of life” and presenting him to DP when he comes in for his dinner in the evening.

Both DP and I do the “cha cha slide” together sometimes randomly in Asda.
We both occasionally get Alexa to announce disrespectful phrases or quotes from films “keep the change you filthy animals” or “your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries” when we are in separate rooms or out of the house to make each other jump.

If DP pisses me off I put random little things in his shoes like buttons, little stones or gravel, potpourri etc…
It’s my little passive aggressive revenge so when he puts his shoes on he knows he’s wronged me.

I have OCD (diagnosed) I’m very conscious about germs but I wouldn’t wrap a hotel tv remote in a plastic bag because the rustling would drive me crazy. I do take a pack of antibac wipes to a hotel though and wipe down the remote and a few other areas.
I take any cushions and top covers off the bed and wear slippers instead of walking barefooted on the carpet. I’m usually drinking if i’m staying in a hotel though and too busy having fun to bring cleaning equipment or worrying about the kettle or doing my washing like some people mentioned!
