What stupid things do you do that no one else knows about?

[FancySomeChips]

I used to be a party animal. LOVED clubbing every weekend (multiple times a week as a student), would dance for hours and laugh and laugh and laugh.

Tonight I am sitting in my cuddle chair putting chewits down my bra to warm them up before I eat them.
I’m home alone.

How life has changed.

Make me feel better, what weird stuff do you do that no one else knows about?!

@Kissboxouting that is truly adorable 🥰

I play hopscotch in my head everytime there's a crack on the pavement. If I forget whether I'm on a hop or a scotch I have to go back to the last one I remember

These are so very cute

I also hate mirrors at night, it’s ok to look if the lights are on but if I see a mirror in the dark I won’t look at it.[/quote]
I can’t sleep in a room with mirrors or look at them in the dark either! Probably the result of watching dodgy old horror films as a teenager. Makes no sense as vampires don’t have reflections anyway. It’s not a secret though, my family cover any mirrors in the bedroom for me when I stay with them and I take newspapers and tape to cover mirrors in hotel rooms. I have a mirror in the bathroom that you can see as you enter, so have to go in there with eyes closed and wave my hand around to find the light pull. Thankfully the car mirrors when driving are fine though!

My secret one is similar to pp. When popping out my tablets I have to make sure that I do it in way that means each tablet has a partner still next to it and I feel really guilty when there’s an odd number and they have to have a threesome.

@ShinyMe

I used to walk a dog called Kadi, and for her I'd sing Tom Jones. "She's all you ever want, the kind you want to walk and take to dinner. She's a Kadi! oooooh woahoh oh she's my Kadi!"

That's excellent! 😂

I 'have' to have 2 wee's before I go to bed. I can't sleep if I don't. It annoys the hell out of DP

@janj2301

re police sirens, my DH and I look at each other and both say "he won't sell many ice creams going that fast", do the reverse with ice cream vans "they won't catch many crooks going that slow". Kids think we are nuts of course

Lol at this. If a police car goes by all sirens blazing DH and I always say "his bacon sandwich is ready for him back at the nick'. On a particular journey we pass under a very high road bridge and alway say solemnly 'this is the worlds highest EVER viaduct'. Our children have heard us repeat these so often they have accepted them as fact leading to them having some very embarrassing conversations with friends and teachers as they grew up.

DH was equally embarrassed when he visited a supermarket and asked where they kept the happy eggs only to discover that more mature adults call them free range.

I have to be fair to my large collection of linen tops. This means they each get a turn of being worn in rotation.

Not me but my daughter always buys the food cans with a dent in because she feels sorry no one will want them. She also does as PP and buys two items rather than leave one on the shelf alone.

@timesachangin.I do the opposite; if there's only 2 on the shelf I leave one for someone else. I very seldom take the last of anything.

I talk to myself a lot when I’m alone. Mostly running through my to-do list, sometimes talking about things I fee anxious about.

I also talk to my cat and answer “as” her. She’s a mouthy little madam.

I’m only slightly mad, I promise.

My french bulldog has a french accent and pretends he can speak French, even though we all secretly know he's from Southampton and never been to France. My grown ups kids and partner indulge me doing his voice for him .....

But what if no one buys it until the next day? What a long and lonely night (would be her argument) I also just remembered she puts things back "with their friends" that have been left in the wrong place in a shop.

Supermarket trips are fairly long and stressful

I say thank you to my bed each night before I go to sleep. Thank you bed, you're so soft and comfy. (I sleep alone so no one else can hear)

Haven't had a chance to catch up on the full thread but was driving just now and realised another one that I think may be common...

I have political debates in the car with myself. I quote statistics. I tell my imaginary opponent, "with all due respect to the honourable gentleman, there is indeed a precedence for this and to deny this sort of crime exists and claim there have been no cases of conviction is simply incorrect. The gentleman is deliberately misleading both the House and the public. In fact in 2019, just in my consituency there were 3 cases brought before the courts all of which led to conviction and imprisonment."

No interest in becoming a politician. Or even joining a committee or anything.

It can get very heated and I always win the debate .

If I have cooked a chicken and there is a bit left, I eat the whole lot because I feel otherwise that the poor chicken died in vain only to be binned

(Obvs if its a fair bit of it then its covered and shoved in fridge)

@MrsLCSofLichfield
I'm glad it's not just me as well! If you're on FB there's a group called 'For The Love Of Crows', it's full of people who love Corvids.

The superstition comes from the rhyme, I think. 'One for sorrow'. because they mate for life, so seeing one by itself is assuming it's mate has died.

I've known people who think crows are scary. they're not, they're beautiful and intelligent, and we should show them the respect they deserve.

It's coming back to me now @Ameanstreakamilewide!

"She's got style, she's got grace, she's got whiskers on her face, she's my Kadi!"

Aw, I miss her, she was really sweet. Must be 2 or 3 years now since she died.

You sound like my kind of person

@ConsulTremas

I have a secret, shameful love for Fray Bentos pies. I don’t do it often but sometimes if I’m home alone and I know everyone will be out for bit, I go buy one, cook it and eat it. I then dispose of the packaging so no-one will ever know.

Hahah I do this with rustlers quarter pounder burgers!

@StorminaBcup

We also have voices for the cats in our neighbourhood - the local Tom cat is Ray Winstone but our cat sounds like Freddie Flintoff.

My cat is Sam Smith 😂

I talk as if I'm voicing my cat's thoughts, she has a northern accent & swears a lot 😂

I sing to my dogs too! Latest adaption is "lying in the paws of Barney" to the old song "lying in the arms of Mary" - I call him Barney Boo so he gets "wake up Boo" and "me and you and a dog named Boo" - I thought this was normal.

@Neron

If there's 2 items left on a shelf, that I only need to purchase 1 of - I have to take them both. Can't leave 1, it will get lonely...

I can't cope with the loneliness.

I also have to sit up all soft toys, I also rescued the poor old Ted that was tied to the front of my neighbours van, I removed it when I saw then parked in Tesco as I was too worried they had a ring doorbell to do it when they were at home. He is washed and now sits on a shelf with his friend's.

I don't like sleeping with the bedroom door open in case the mad axe maniac arrives in the night. My husband humours me with this one.

@LadyMonicaBaddingham

I sing to my cat. About my cat. At the last count, there are 7 different adapted songs and 4 originals. I may need help...

Oh yes me too. But you have to do this with cats. 💗
