What's your weirdest habit?

[mumbunz24]

Just starting this thread for a bit of fun—I’ve got this weird habit of chatting to my plants as if they’re listening. Anyone else got any quirky habits?

I pat my car after I've parked it and tell it to stay put

I time my wee, it’s completely compulsive

I slways throw salt over my left shoulder when cooking. I also leap onto my bed at night so the demon hiding under the bed can't grab me.

They might come in through the air conditioning unit though 🕷 or on your clothes or bags 😱

Love this 😂

I do it too… just one less thing to do in the morning! lol

I eat my hair too! I pull it out and crunch it and luckily I have a lovely understanding hairdresser.
I have a made up language of mainly just noises for my dogs too.

When I'm watching TV my eyes have to be equal distance on each side of the TV. So my eyeballs measure the left and right distance and it needs to be the same.

I empty the kettle every night before bed. I hate the thought of old water sitting there all night. Mum did the same.

I play with my hair constantly. It must be a comfort thing, I don't know.

Figures like little clay men (like Morph) control my dreams so if I am having a nightmare they distort my dream if I am having a good dream they leave it alone.

This started in childhood. I talk to them (silently) before I go to sleep when I am planning out my dream for the night.

They wake me up when I need a wee too 🤣

Same!! And with plates. Can't eat off a dark plate.

All desserts have to be eaten with a small spoon.

I love vicks inhaler's.

Same! DP thinks I'm mad!

I count everything and it drives me mad.

I memorise numbers I don't even need to know.

I used to have to have the volume on the tv on an even number but forced myself to fight it but now it has to be on 13 and I know it's supposed to be unlucky but it's not an even number so it's ok I suppose.

My life is ruled by numbers.

Rescuing tiny flies from cobwebs, watching them fly off and feeling powerful. Poor spider I know. If they’re still wriggling I can’t help myself.

Also, when I switch the light off for the kids I pull a stupid face or do a karate kick or something daft so it’s the last thing they remember before falling asleep. It makes them laugh but they often make me switch it back on to see my “normal” face.

I finger brush my hair till i get an stray one then tickle my nose with it. Started by a tassle blanket on the settee in the 70s apparently when I was very small.

47 and still suck my thumb

I just tried this, it was fab!

If I am using block butter for cooking or preparing food I have to cut a piece off and pop it in my mouth. A friend saw me once and was horrified.

Me too and have to check inside the kettle in the morning in case any spidery creatures have wandered in overnight.
Another of my habits is last thing at night while cleaning my teeth (electric brush) I wander from room to room doing a little tidy so tend to dribble little spots of toothpaste onto my hard floors. Next morning I find them and wipe them up.
🙄

When I make a slice of toast I butter a corner take a bite then butter the rest. I've always done it
If using cash I have to have all the notes facing the same way in my purse
When I make a fresh bed I have to be the first one in it to the point of actually closing the bedroom door when my kids were small to stop them diving in it
I never eat and drink at the same time
I eat first, then drink

This is brilliant

If I’m sat watching tele and my hair is up in a pony tail, I section my hair out and do little plaits, like I play with my hair to find natural sections and then plait them
But it’s almost as if I can’t stop myself! I end up with really achey fingers and arms cause I’ll go on for absolutely ages
