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.

Jam and cheese is not to dissimilar to quince. I wouldn't think that was odd.

I do the tissue up the sleeve thing. Dbro thinks I'm a complete loon.

I can't get over how many people use their bras as extra storage space. What size norks do you all have?!

I can't have a drink with lunch or dinner and only just tolerate wine.

I drink huge amounts of full fat milk. Even more so while pregnant. We go through about 16 pints of milk a week for Two adults and a toddler.

I also can't stand cold milk in hot drinks. Tea has to be at least 1/3 milk.

I like to come down the stairs gripping both handrails and jumping 2 steps at a time. I also do the stair sprint thing.

I do this too. I also like choc buttons or Minstrels in crisps.

I use trainers instead slippers: put on a pair as soon as I am out of bed, without socks, while I'm still in PJs. Many trainers have soft linings, so why not? I choose them carefully when I buy them, so see if they look comfy on bare feet. I try them on as such, if the shop allows it.

I much prefer cold tea to hot, ideally made normally then left to cool.

We eat the prawn skin too, it's where all the flavour is. Mmmm crunchy prawniness.

If a bright light catches one eye, I have to turn and let the other side have the light too.

If I squeeze a finger, I have to then squeeze all my other fingers in turn.

I can not only tickle myself but can think myself tickled. I've been told its impossible to tickle yourself, I can wholeheartedly confirm its bollocks. My clothes can tickle me, it can be a nightmare.

I don't sleep properly unless I've had a poo before bed.

Jam and cheese is a mining thing. Very common where I'm from. I think it's because jam was cheaper than butter and less likely to go a bit yuck in the pits.

Thank goodness I am not the only one to do some of these things. I do the tissue up sleeve one and let dog lick plates. I wouldn't eat something the dog had licked though. I do read in the loo too but try to be careful about it.

I eat museli with milk and natural yoghurt. My DH says this is disgusting!

People change their sheets more than once a week? Mine get changed once a month. Less if I don't accidentally bleed on them.

But those who keep everything in their bra, doesn't it give you a very lumpy look? Or does it all go in your cleavage? Isn't it uncomfortable - keys?! Spare change? Do you rummage around for it when you buy something?

Struggling to conceptualise here I have v small boobs and bras and anything in there would show through my clothes

Also aghast at those who spoil themselves for the endings of books , at the raw bacon-eating person and the uncooked pasta

I always thought I was moderately weird, but having read this thread, nope, I've got nothing!

I have big bras (30G) so can fit quite a bit down there. Sometimes though I've thought I have lost my phone and then got someone to call it and felt the vibration against my boob and realised where it was.

Bathing dc once a week, I must stop admitting this to people because most seem to think its grim! (They do get topped n tailed tho in my defence!)

Dh finds my tissue habit gross, I buy expensive soft tissues and think one usage is a waste so have a bad habit of leaving them lying around.

The stairs thing made me really chuckle - is it just for your own entertainment? I love that! Do you do other similar things?

I also eat out of date food

I can not just eat one blackberry or raspberry. I have to eat the punnet.

I hate the taste of coffee but swoon over the smell.

the toddler eating toast that the dog has sucked is grim beyond grim.
Loving the sugar crust on double cream and salt + pepper toast though.
My favourite thing to eat, ever, is rolled up milk skin. Mmmmmmmmm...'rumpledmilkskin' it's called in our house.

I eat the whole kiwi too, but I also eat oranges and satuma skin even my DC think thats weird.

However DS2 chews his cod liver oil capsules, it makes me feel

The brain of the prawn is the best bit!

I also run upstairs on hands and feet (or used to when had stairs) and look forward to doing it again if we ever move to a house.

Also eat gravy granules and cheese and jam sandwiches. Defo going to try chic buttons in crisps.

I used to lick roll on deoderent and eat chalk when small.

Last one sounds really odd but I used to imagine pulling a thing out of the centre of a pie and writing words with it with the gravy, and had to keep repeating it until did the word right.

I read on the loo too - hate to be caught on the toilet without something to read to be honest (but then I read everywhere). Also used to use our dining table to change nappies as we lived in a tiny house and it was the handiest place. Always used a changing mat though that I kept down the side of the table for that purpose if that makes it any better!

DH put milk and orange juice on his musely

Have long legs and used to change ds nappy on my lap for the entire time he was in nappies.

I dip cheese and ham toasties in a cup of tea, lots of people have told me this is gross but they are wrong. It is DELICIOUS

I eat peanut butter and also Nutella straight from the jar with a spoon.

If I want chocolate and there isn't any I will eat a spoonful of honey (not always able to get to the shops).

My built in wine rack now houses the dc shoes. I don't keep wine there since a visiting child pulled out a bottle and dropped it, smashing it over my slate floor. My bf thinks this is weird as she always has a stocked wine cupboard and has known me forever and knows that pre dc I would open a bottle after work for us whilst cooking dinner.

I sleep in a gum sheild made by the dentist because I grind my teeth in my sleep.

I refuse to eat anything out of a tin except sweetcorn and coconut milk. I won't even buy tinned soup. We're never going to survive a disaster. I will need prior notice to hole myself up in the supermarket.

Apparently my penis beaker is weird. Who knew?

Joysmum - can I infer correctly from this that you have sex every night?

I only shower every other day.
apparently I must stink (I don't) I wash pits and bits in between, as my skin would peel off if I would shower more often.

I was wondering the other day if you were still around suzietastic

I used to eat the corner of the page of whatever book I was reading to mark my place - even library books :/

I tend to know what will happen in an episode of a show or movie etc a long time beforehand - my dad used to just announce how magic tricks were performed or plot twists when I was a kid so I guess I just got really used to analyzing shows and find them very formulaic. Usually it drives my husband insane as i can find it hard not to say what I have seen... But the other day he asked me who was going to be the shooter in Dexter and I told him and a few episodes later there it was and he wasn't mad for a change.

I love sticking my nose in the dog's ears and having a good sniff as they smell wonderful and intriguing (but I only let DP see me do this). This habit stopped when I had terrible morning sickness but normal service has resumed now

I suck the wrapper from stock cubes after I've taken the cube out sometimes I eat some of the cube too
