To ask what things you do, that you think are completely normal, that have caused others to be shocked/disgusted?

[HappilyChatterly]

Sat in the staff room tucking into a kiwi, like you do, or rather like I do...chomping it like an apple. Everyone was horrified! Apparently you eat it with a spoon like a boiled egg... I can see why, the skin is minging but I alwa?s thought it was worth it for the delicious flesh. My family all eat it that way, never occurred to me there was anything odd about, I thought it was just the way it had to be done.

I'm really paranoid now there are other things I'm doing that are weird and disgusting. Please post your own experiences so I can tick them off the list.

I can only get out of bed when the minute hand is on a multiple of 5 - 6:05 or 6:10 etc
If I miss the moment I have to wait for the next multiple of 5. I've actually been late because I kept missing the moment - I knew I was going to be late but I couldn't get out of bed at 7:08

I too read bits through book to have idea what's going to happen got kobo no good for this

Phone in elastic.on waistband of knickers if no pocket this is ok as long as remember to pull out before joint for pre soon learn after falls into loo first time

Tissue up sleeve or in summer when wearing t-shirts in bra

I haven't read the whole thread as I shall devour it when I have more time. But just to add, apparently eating raw sausages is Not.The.Done.Thing.

It's no skin off my nose (deliberate pun ) and I won a bet from it once. Easiest £20 I've ever earned

awww yes to the guineapig and fresh hay smell sometimes go into Pets At Home to have a whiff as no longer have piggies

piggies and bunnies smell lovely

I tend to only use tissues once, and get through loads (watery eyes and nose); even if tissue has not been used but the layers have separated shudder , it has to be chucked, yet will happily use the same makeup sponge or foundation brush for weeks months and wonder why I'm getting spots from not cleaning or changing them... I am terrible at changing bras too.. luckily I'm not a very sweaty person... but sometimes forget and get spots from my bra straps.. yet in other ways am very clean and hygienic..

I do the stair sprint thing too! I sometimes do it at work if I think no body is looking. I like dipping toast in brown sauce, oh and chocolate for breakfast. Yum yum!

Saving the gravy from a roast to have the next day on toast for lunch.
Lunch of champions to me, but a little odd to pretty much everyone I know.
Leftover roast potatoes grated and fried with onion into a rosti and topped with a drizzle of leftover gravy is the posh version.

Vlad that sounds delicious!!

I too can only get out of bed at the 'right' time. If I miss 6.45 and it's 6.46 am i have ti wait anxiously til 6.50.

I can't eat ANYTHING in one bite, not even a small chocolate or something, I have to bite it in half.

I always wash first in the shower then wash my hair. If I'm particularly dozy and wash my hair first in have to then wash and then wash my hair again.

If I go upstairs at night I am sure there's a murderer directly behind me and have to run upstairs then compose myself at the top of the stairs.

I record films, watch the first half hour in order to understand the plot, then fast forward to the end of the film in order to see the resolution.

I don't like drama

I prefer to see the problems, understand the situation and proceed directly to the solving of the issue.

For this reason I HATE films that don't actually end. There will be something right at the end that indicates the issue is not resolved. It pisses me off.

So I started googling the film I intend to watch, reading the full synopsis and then I don't have to watch it at all.

This does not work for new releases, obviously, which is why I don't go to the cinema.

It seems perfectly sensible to me, but others appear to think it is odd.
