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

My microwave doesn't have a clock.

My dear old Grandad used to take all the batteries out of his clocks when he went away, and pulled the pins out of his watches unless he was wearing them. He also punched lots of holes in the bottom of a pot noodle, rather than buy a watering can. He was otherwise very generous and kind, but he really watched those pennies and hated waste.

Me too 🤣

This is my ‘weird things people do’ too!

I know several people who on paper are probably millionaires or close to it and all they go on about is shopping at Aldi, and how the air fryer saves them electricity and how they make sandwiches on a day trip because they don’t want to pay to eat out…

Does my head in.

Yes, I do that.

For me, it's the people who park right next to you in an otherwise empty car park/sit next to you in an otherwise empty cafe/on the seat directly beside you an otherwise empty bus or train.
That's just safety in numbers

Oh. I literally do that.

Hotel remotes are never cleaned properly, lots of studies have repeatedly shown so. I started doing it during the Swine Flu pandemic of 09 and never stopped. Makes no odds to me though whether you think that's weird. Whatever floats your boat, eh.

I don't use the clock on the oven for anything so I just press the button that stops it from blinking when I switch it back on

I worked with someone who used to travel with her own bedsheets. I asked what she did if she was an away for more than a week and she said she just washed them in a laundromat. She would also use nearly a whole roll of loo roll and hover in a public (as in any toilet that wasn’t her own). First thing she does in hotel rooms is clean the whole room and bathroom.

Those of you who turn the oven and microwave off at the plug, doesn't it mean you have to reset the clock every day?

@Changingplace Instead she has a carrier bag hooked over a cupboard handle, fills it and then takes it to the bin, why that’s preferable to having even a small bin is beyond me.

I used to do this because my kitchen was so small I had no space for a bin. I actually preferred it, meant I didn't have to occasionally wash a bin.

My dad has always switched everything off at the plug or even unplugged it, I think it comes from his mums mistrust of anything electrical, if I ever stay over il go to switch the spare room lamp on, only to realise he’s unplugged them all. Or get in the electric shower, which only gives out freezing water, then have to get out and realise he’s turned off the isolator switch for it, this can go on for most things, I’m surprised he hasn’t unplugged the bloody fridge 😂

Another was my mum, there were certain radio programmes she didn’t like on radio 2, so I told her other stations she could switch to, then switch back when someone she likes comes on, but she wouldn’t in case she couldn’t remember how to get back to the original station, she had literally been using radios her whole life, but now she wouldn’t dare touch it, so I got them an Alexa, had to explain you need to talk quicker with your request and don’t have to say please and thank you! Alexa kept giving up at their long winded declarations of ‘Alexa, could you please play for me…….’

Having worked as a chambermaid in the days when they were still called chambermaids and not Housekeeping staff, people are disgusting.

However, it’s the cups and glasses that would make me shudder to use them, not the kettle.

We have both a tea towel and hand towel in the kitchen. I never understand when people say they don't. I don't think I have any weird habits. I do switch the microwave off at the wall but that's because we don't use it very often.

I wipe mine with anti bac befire using

What's wrong with that? I do it too!

I know what you mean! I use a spoon to fish them out along with any blood bits 🤮

I remember a friend of mine washed her knickers in one on a residential school trip. I didn’t learn a thing on the trip other than people are gross.

I really don't understand the thought behind so much stuff but I am neuro diverse and find so much confusing :-/

Recreational drug use- the exploitation involved in the supply of drugs and the horrific effect on your health.

Attending diet clubs run by overweight people - to be weighed in public and advised by someone clearly not following the instructions.

Those who post cryptic attention seeking posts about their love life who are over the age of 15, despairing one day and devoting their life to him the next.

People who get absorbed by anger and seek revenge, I am very much cut people off and then I am done.

Reading the same book twice - but I can watch a film over and over

Watching sports but not training / competing yourself,

Well I don't go that far, but I do boil a full kettles worth, empty it, rinse it then boil again for my cuppa. I'd never trust a kettle!

Turning electrical gadgets off rather than leave on standby- advised by brother, fire-fighter. He said he’s been called out to fires started by items left on standby.

This isn’t turning stuff off at the wall, which of course makes sense for energy use purposes; this is a big red, hard to pull down, switch. It’s an Aga Mate so no blinking lights etc.

I wash fruit and vegetables, even more carefully after my small niece got e coli from unwashed veg.

I have a washing up bowl. My sink doesn't hold water otherwise. No dishwasher so I wash all my dishes by hand, but the sink plug lets water trickle out and there's nothing left by the time I get to the last bowl.

But what if it bursts into flames during the night 😰
