Things you do when no one is looking

Sometimes I think I’m strange or childish because I do these things when no one is around but surely people do things when no ones looking either šŸ˜‚

Dance in the house
Make all sorts of expressions in the mirror
Lay on the floor after a long day
Put the bread knife back in the draw because bread is ā€˜clean’ 😳

your turn.

Make up songs and sing them loudly or just make loads of weird noises

lift my top over my bra and walk around like that for a bit

Furrybutts · 22/06/2022 22:48

Talk to myself. I find this very cathartic.

Talk to the radio presenter when I'm driving, to correct his bad grammar.

Dress my dolls and brush and style their hair. I find this really relaxing.

Pick my nose.
Steal DC2's blanket whilst I work from home so I can stroke the silky edge.
Lick the knife.
Use my finger to wipe around the bowl of ice cream/yoghurt.

sparklyelephants · 22/06/2022 22:51

I lick all the flavouring off my crisps when no one's about (do it in front of dh but he doesn't count he's married to me now)
Pick my nose, search my face for good spots to squeeze, fart

Everyone does the knife thing surely?
Although I did it in front of my mum with her bread knife a few weeks ago and she was utterly disgusted

Talk to myself. Masks were great because I could do it in public. Have had to retrain myself not to do it.

šŸ˜‚ This all day long!!! Thought I was the only one.

Furrybutts · 22/06/2022 22:54

Use literally anything I can get my hands on to scratch my back.
Have used all kind of kitchen utensils when needs must, but big kitchen knives have freaked people out, so I only do that when alone Wink

SagittariusDwarf · 22/06/2022 22:58

Sit around with hands in pants
Twerk (badly)

Rosiepeta · 22/06/2022 22:59

When cooking I pretend I'm on my own Cookery showšŸ™ˆ
Sing and dance...very badly

ALongHardWinter · 22/06/2022 23:00

Skinnermarink You go DOWN the stairs on all fours?! How?!

ScruptiousBears · 22/06/2022 23:00

Great big rippers of burps whilst I'm working in my conservatory at home. Thing is I forget the door is normally open and the neighbours probably hear.

Pull the face that the character in my book would be doing.

🤣🤣 and me

IrishMama2015 · 22/06/2022 23:01

Open my jeans button
Pick my nose
Eat Nutella from the jar

Yup, I do this too! Also I tweeze leg hairs. Oh and ballet dance (I never did balletšŸ˜…) Oh and I pinch my stomach to make the ā€˜belly’s gonna get you’ belly. And I pick my nose!

courgettigreensadwater · 22/06/2022 23:05

@Furrybutts I wfh now and have a spaghetti spoon, disher upper, whatever it's called, specifically for this purpose on my desk for emergencies. It's a new one. Not from the kitchen. For me and my back. Smile

WithRosesAroundTheDoor · 22/06/2022 23:06

I am also an all fours stair climber, especially when tired.

Bread knife gets a wipe on the arse of my jeans/trousers before being put away.

I sit with my hands down my pants on the flabby, stretched but oh-so-soft part of my c-section overhang.

I argue with my long-dead but absolute nightmare mother in law. And win.

Fart, knicker de-wedge, burp, nose pick, dance provocatively very badly.

Make myself cry and watch in the mirror. Really weird and I don't know why but when I'm feeling a bit sad, it sort of gets it all out.

LidlMissSunshine · 22/06/2022 23:07

Fart with abandon.

Have conversations with the cats.

Watch old 90s music videos on YouTube.

Daniel2008 · 22/06/2022 23:15

@ChagSameachDoreen Ingol CP School?

KingChanter · 22/06/2022 23:16

Pretend I'm winning a Bafta, complete with full 'thanks' speech.

MrsAlfredShropshire · 22/06/2022 23:36

Lick my plate.

I may change my name after this post.

CheapNcheerful · 22/06/2022 23:45

This thread has got me howling šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜­ too funny!

Full disclosure
I dance in front of the mirror sometimes naked pretending I've got an audience.
Talk to myself
Pick my nose
Scratch and sniff 🤣

SunflowerGardens · 22/06/2022 23:46

When I see insects I just brutally squash them instead of pretending not to hate them like I have to do when DC are here.

DuckBilledPlattyJoobs · 22/06/2022 23:48

XenoBitch · 22/06/2022 21:34

Have a full on treasure hunt in my nostrils.

Me too (mine, obvs, not yours)

Hawkins001 · 22/06/2022 23:49

Talk out loud to myself, as a form of self therapy and it helps me to strategize ideas.

Shunter350 · 22/06/2022 23:50

Mumsnet at its best! Wonderful, wonderful human beings..
love you all!

Agapornis · 22/06/2022 23:59

The bread knife thing, pick my nose, fart, knicker de-wedge. Also:
Dip the sharp pointy knife into the peanut butter and lick it, it must be sharp and pointy.
Squeeze the crap out of my nose pores after a shower.
Hold a pringle in my mouth until it goes soft.
Fondle my pubes.

I also lick my plate but share that with people I live with, hard to stop myself in restaurants.
