To ask what you're 'weird' habits are.. Just for fun

[Alwayssearching]

Don't kit weird is the right word.

One of mine is.. I can't eat a yoghurt or cold dessert with a metal tea spoon. It has to be a plastic picnic one. Not the disposable ones the thicker type.

gggrrrargh I did the same, as a kid with any sweet that had multiple colours. Like smarties etc.

Pretending I'm a bomb disposal expert by stopping the microwave when it's got just one or two seconds to go

I absolutely LOVE this and plan to start doing it immediately 😁

I dissect my food and eat the items separately. Can't eat the cream and the cake base together, have to have it separate.
I also hate soggy crispy stuff so no curry or cheesy chips for me. Only exception is buttered toast. But beans on a plate of full Irish, God help me, never. Any sauces, mayo or ketchup, the same.
I also hate stuff sticking out of a pile or something, it's just awful. And anything cut in a weird shape.

OK so from this thread I'm not ocd. I check that the oven is off more than once and that's about it.

I don't think there's anything that I "can't" do (apart from things I physically can't do). I definitely prefer even numbers of biscuits, unlike a previous poster. I feel like if I have an odd number I'll keep going back for more - but I don't actually feel panicky or anything like that.

My biggest eccentricity is probably that I hate the thought of always doing something in a routine way, so I sometimes go out of my way to vary it even if I don't like the other way as much. I sometimes find myself sitting on the same seat in the bus several times in a row and then my brain goes, "oh no, can't let this become a habit that's hard to break, sit somewhere else today!"

reading this post made me think oooh there are some unusual habits out there , I dont have any . Then picked up my once a week treat a danish pastry wheel and un rolled it and broke it up into bite sized bits before I started eating it . and realised I do this every time without even thinking about it , Can I join your club please .

i press the skin around my finger nails on every finger every so often - im talking daily. Probably more if i'm nervous or not paying attention. It is a bit of a routine. Not sure why or when it started - i've always done it as far as i know.

My shopping list has to be in the same order as the supermarket aisles - to the point where, if I'm listing what I need from the tins aisle and I suddenly realise I didn't put lettuce etc in the right place on the list, I have to start it again ! Sometimes it can take me longer to write the list than actually do the bloody shopping !!!!

I would have to draw a grid of the aisles with the category of each aisle written in each box, then write in there. It may save time.

MyMarmitePurrs That actually makes so much sense. I’m forever running around the aisles (no shopping list) trying to think of what I need then forgetting once I’ve passed etc. Although I do most of my shopping online if I’m doing it in person and could remember the layout this would be a good way to write the list.

I rub the fabric of my coat whenever I'm wearing it. Love the coldness and texture. I'm constantly feeling it up! Must look weird.

I hate glass mugs, especially smoked glass shudder I'm also deeply suspicious of mugs with coloured insides yuck

You're all complete weirdos!!!

I can not yawn silently, I always, always end it with a little operatic encore, drives DH mad.

If I start to stretch it nearly always every time ends up as a full 5 min body stretch accompanied with almost very orgasmic sounds. I like love stretching.

Always have to walk on DHs right, it just feels all wrong the other side.

I do the syllable tapping thing with words too, I also find the opposite happens e.g. you know that jingle they sometimes put on in lifts or if you’re on hold? I find the syllables and make words/a song, though it has to be on topic e.g. if we’re in a lift it has to be ‘I’m in a lift, going up’ etc.

If I’m wearing a certain colour e.g. blue t-shirt, I need to wear blue shoes. If I have no colour that matches I have to wear that colour knickers and socks to counteract it.

I have to have subtitles on while I watch Netflix. Volume must be at a multiple of five.

Another one hear that doesn’t like wet food. If I have a fry up I have to have the beans in a separate ramakin.

I like to put chocolate in my mouth then take a sip of hot tea to melt it.

Any volume gauge has to be on an even number or it drives me mad.

I like to dig my fingernails into the gum around my two front teeth.

If I take a drink of anything cold I do 13 swallows and count in my head as I go.

I hate pyrex cups/mugs. We were on the Norfolk Broads once, and the boat came with pyrex cups and saucers. Had to buy some china mugs in a nearby market.
