Weird things you love that other people think are awful....

[NutSmeg]

I have two:

One:
Our dog has started getting up at sometime between 5am and 6am every day.

Me and DP have started sleeping in separate bedrooms so her early wake-ups don't disrupt both of us.

DP complains vigorously about the whole situation.

I secretly love it.
I love sleeping separately from DP.
I love waking up with the dawn.
I love having a brew in the early morning when it feels like the rest of the world is asleep.
I love early morning walks with the dog when the streets are empty.
I love having long mornings when I can get all my jobs done before 9am.
I love feeling like I've woken early so I deserve extra tea and biscuits.

Having said that, I really hope its only a summer thing. Five in the morning on a cold, wet January morning isn't so appealing.

Two:
I do a personal training session in our local park twice a week.

I love it when it rains. I especially love torrential, hammering rain. Its cooling and refreshing. The park empties and I feel a wave of optimistic isolation come over me. I feel powerful. I feel dedicated. I feel strong. I feel completely alive.

Last night I got caught in a thunder downpour and it was wonderful.

What awful things do you love....

Mondays.

Although I love my weekends, I always like getting back to the structure of work, getting paid to do the thing I love.

Crows. There’s one that comes into our garden - so handsome and impressive. I love watching them. And I like rats too, think they’re cute.

I love injections/having blood drawn.

I like the feeling of the needle going into my skin and the squeeze as the blood is pulled out.

Seagulls

Crispy, salty chicken/salmon/duck skin. The best bit. Maybe it’s just my family and friends that don’t like it though!

Going home from a holiday. I like to be away, but going home is the best! I love packing to leave knowing that it has an end to it.

@Peaceandquiet3638 you can get crispy salmon skin sushi in good Japanese restaurants 👍🏻

Defo with you on the rain thing, also love wind, (Not the flatulent male smell) 😁
People think am a proper weirdo 🙄
Love sleeping beside my dp though
Scooping peanut butter on a blue riband biscuit and pouring milk on chocolate gateau

Me too. I feel a sense of relief that we made it through a holiday and I like coming home.

I enjoy the school run

Biscuits directly from the freezer 😳

@NutSmeg

totally with you on the daylight early
morning. Love being up at 4:30-5am BUT NOT in winter!!

& strong weather!!

I don't know what other weird things, because it seems normal to me. I'll come back if I think of anything else!!

I can't relate to the needle going in part, but I absoultely love watching the blood coming out into the pouch thingy/test tube!

I'm enjoying my ds getting older. He's 10 and just starting to hit puberty. I know lots of people feel sad about their babies growing up, but I don't. I feel quite accomplished we made it this far with no deaths and no major injuries. Pride in the cracking boy he's become. And nothing but excitement for his future

I also quite like finding an opened can of coke, especially when I thought I had ran out (as long as it hasn't been open long enough to go bad)

I love it, you're all such oddballs 😂

Love early summer mornings. I had done an online shop and a load of washing by half six this morning.

Crows are beautiful and clever!

I loath clothes shopping or high street shopping but I don't mind a supermarket. Bigger the better to have a browse.
I also like giving blood and was upset once when I was turned away for being low in iron and my last session was cancelled on the same day for reasons I'll never know :(
Seeing the bag filling up with my blood is just amazing.
I like banking apps to check what's going on.

Waking up super early like 4/5am.

I love the peacefulnesses when everyone else is still asleep and it's dark outside.

Also crows, I'm determined to become friends with the ones that visit my garden and have my own murder.

Another of mine is storms, the types that bring hurricane winds, power cuts, flooding, torrential rain, lightning, thunder, being snowed in...etc, absolutely love it

Cleaning the dishwasher filter. I love finding that filthy, lardy buildup.

Bargain Loving Brits in the Sun.

Answering the phone
My neighbours

Oh yes, I also love doing the food shop at the supermarket! I'd never get online deliveries for that reason.

I really like being outside in a thunderstorm/deluge of rain OP so I totally get that.

I love the feeling of having my blood pressure taken and the tight squeezing round my arm then the release.

I keep my crisps in the freezer! They’re so much nicer.

Mornings. I am much more productive and happy in the morning. I'm useless after lunch. I am one of those dreaded, cheery MORNING PEOPLE
