That I have to use the “right” cup for the tea I’m making, according to what time of day it is and who I’m making it for, and if I don’t, then the tea-drinker’s day will be slightly off-kilter and the cups will be cross. Sometimes I have to touch all the cups until I find the right one.

@MydogWillow As long as you know you’re wrong, that’s fine. Wink

I always think that if you've been lucky in love you'll be unlucky with money, and if you're doing well financially you've probably got a rubbish lovelife.

A couple of times in my life I met people that I swear I already knew in a "oh it's you" sort of way. Always known them, always will..

That a few people (I could count on one hand) are completely lit up from the inside - even though very human and flawed like the rest of us they just sprinkle fairy dust and magic..

I am totally unrecognisable when wearing sunglasses.

Wait. This is the Bad Place?

JANET!

I have a thing about mugs. If I'm particularly worried about someone then I'll use a mug they got me and somehow that will ensure that they'll be ok.

If someone has annoyed me then I will ignore their mug as a sort of snub.

That parallel universes exist, and that every single moment in time, past, present and future is happening simultaneously. What we perceive as time is the gap between these events.

I've always believed that after death, evil people go to a place of unimaginable horror but as part of their punishment, still see the living and also see the good people living in blissful utopia.
And that's how they live out eternity.

That my house looks after me because over the years I've tried to look after it by making improvements to it, ( new fire, windows, boiler etc) plus created 2 gardens almost from scratch.

I killed princess Diana. I was at a party, I was a mouthy 16 year old and people were talking about the royal family (they all loved them) and specially how wonderful Diana was, so me being oh so edgy I announced that I hated the Royals, Diana was nothing special and they should all be gotten rid of.

Next day came the announcement that Diana was dead. My friends all said it was my fault and I was some kind of witch. At the time I genuinely believed I had cursed the royals somehow and they were going to start dropping dead one by one

That every thing, every inanimate object, has a little personality. Whether it's a lolly stick, a whisk, or whatever.

SwimmingOnEggshells · 26/08/2021 22:53

That I have a magnetism that effects computers. It only happens when I'm stressed or with other people. The internet literally will not work when I'm beside someone.

Watches also don't work on me.

SwimmingOnEggshells · 26/08/2021 22:55

@fluffythedragonslayer something similar happened to me - I was talking about Amy Winehouse and saying she was going to kill herself with her lifestyle, or otherwise. Three days later she was dead. It was horrible.

JackieCollinshasnoauthority · 26/08/2021 23:07

TV licence enforcement is a big conspiracy.

Dilligaf81 · 26/08/2021 23:51

fancysomechips that's what I came on to put. I have an uncanny skill of telling when people are pregnant. On two occasions I've told friends to test and they have been pregnant despite having no clue themselves.
Someone once told me it was a change in their smell that some are really perceptive to. Not sure I believe that as I have an awful sense of smell but maybe that an unconscious smell that my brain processes that I'm not aware of.

I killed Jon Pertwee. I met him at a convention, and he was so rude to me. His name was mud for ages. Exactly a year to the day later, he is dead. My fault!

That karma exists. When someone has been particularly shitty it does seem like something bad happens.

@coodawoodashooda

That photocopiers and computers sense that its me.
😆

That this is the afterlife - we are living in hell.
👏

That eventually, somehow, I'll either be with my first love again, even if only for a short while or meet and have mutual love with someone who surpasses him.
All evidence is to the contrary.

Bortles · 27/08/2021 00:15

Oh and dreams or very strong visualisations about things that will happen and then they do.
And the cuddly toy one, I get that totally. Grin

Is its anything like my experience, he'll contact you under the guise of congratulating you on a major life event then send you a dick pic and ask you to send back a picture of your boobs so you block him because Envy
