Lighthearted- weird things you do?

Bored this morning before I head out and wondered what weird or strange/odd things you do? Or like? Could be anything!
I sometimes like to watch the tv with subtitles on and the sound really low and music on.
I sometimes deconstruct sandwiches and eat some of the filling last than in the sandwich (gherkins etc)

I wave at the squirrels in my garden, they look at me when I go to the window and I always have to wave😜

I get my kids to give compliments to random strangers. It makes their day and the kids love it!

Our front garden has a wall and a gate. Every day I do a fancy hop/spin over the wall and envision myself being an olympian for 0.002 seconds, every day. The gate is not locked, it's just a normal gate 😅

I have about 14 silly nicknames for my dog
Also have loads for my son..

I often have a conversation with the dog too about all sorts while she stares at me bemused

Whenever I visit the cemetery to put flowers on my relatives graves I say hi to the other graves nearby and say their name.

I have a really weird thing where I've actually got 7 refillable drink bottles on my bedside table - a plastic, a glass and 5 metals.

Glass and plastic are full of water, 1 is full of fruit juice, and the others are various fizzies.

I'm always drinking, always guzzling and get up several times in the night for drinks, including mugs of PG Tips.

When the bottles are about 1/2 way down, I just HAVE to fill them up. I know it's strange, but I sort of panic if they all run out, even though there are taps full of water and a fridge full of juice and fizzies!

I walk half a mile 6 days a week to get a paper for my elderly neighbour, no one delivers papers around our area.

I say thank you to ATMs after I take out some money. I feel weird if I don't.

That’s such a lovely thing to do, bless you!
