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?!

Not me but my dad
He comes over to do "important DIY"
Really he's sat on my sofa drinking coffee, watching top gear and eating a fray bentos pie which my mum won't have in the house
He also takes out his hearing aids when mum annoys him

To my dog: "Oh Bear-ey, you're big and you're black and your hairy, and when you bark you bark you sound scary, oh Bear-ey...." to the tune of Barry Mannilow's (sp?) Mandy.

@Nayday Well hello there

There are four huge conker trees that I made friends with during lockdown 1 walks. I still pat them every time I pass them now. at least I've stopped hugging them

During lockdown I started a daily walk around the estate where I live. It’s about 3 miles in total. I still do it most days. I made friends with all the local cats and talk to all of them if I see them.

Goodness, I chat to the cat all the time!

I can’t sleep if my wardrobe door is slightly open, in case the witches get out. However cosy up in bed I am, if the door is slightly ajar I have to get up to close it.

I have conversations with my cat also. When she enters the room i ask her how she is and what is she doing. She is also part Siamese and she answers in a variety of ways.

DH will not sit on his armchair if the cat is there first, he sits on the floor at her feet. Sometimes she nibbles his hair and he feels pleased she has acknowledged him.

As for singing to your cats, when my friend comes to feed my cat if we go away she will write a song just for her.

I thank inanimate objects.

"Thank you washing machine" as I'm taking my washing out.

"Thank you Barry" (the cars name is Barry obv)

"Thank you hair tie, you held up my hair all day. Well done.

I can't have any part of my body hang over the edge of the mattress when sleeping. I am worried someone with an axe under the bed will chop off whatever overhangs.

I am 49.

@Neverfightamanwithaperm

Love that song. Your version, that is, not Barry Mannilow's

I have silly conversations with my dog.

Obviously, she can't actually answer me so I speak for both of us.

Sometimes I catch myself doing it when we're out on a walk; thankfully, no one's ever been near enough to overhear me - I live in a relatively quiet place - but it can only be a matter of time before I turn round and there's someone behind me.

I have more then one dog and I do their 'voices' and conversations with me and with each other.

Doesn't everyone with a cat chat to them?
I'm always "Oh hey, how are you? Do you want out? You don't want out, it's wet out there. Oh, ok, if you really want out " (opens door) "Do you want some dreamies?". (closes door)

Me and DH have a trio of stuffed animals, with distinct personalities, voices, likes and dislikes.

It’s almost like a running soap opera

Some days I have to really concentrate not to talk like a teddy when I’m out and about

So pleased I'm not the only one who does my pet's voice.

Makes me feel quite normal.

I talk to the kids' teddies and then answer myself in their voices.

haha, I used to sing 'you are my sunshine' to my lovely old collie!
Don't sing it to the dogs I have now, I make up wee songs for them!

DH caught me earlier sitting chatting to our rabbit. She's old and her legs are not working, we're going to have to put her to sleep soon before she suffers.
I was just talking quietly while I brushed her but he heard and now thinks I'm nuts!

If I'm using 'ok Google' or Alexa, I always say please 😳

Also my cats both have a variety of nicknames. Some of them include 'PeePee' TabsyToo; Fathead; Whingemonster; fluffyhead etc. They know their nicknames and answer to them, no matter how many variations there are.

@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...

I do the same thing! I've been caught a few times and not lived it down

Can totally relate to this. Ever since I watched Jaws as a child I can’t let any part of me hang off the bed in case a shark gets me……..even though there is obviously no water!

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!"

Also my cats both have a variety of nicknames. Some of them include 'PeePee' TabsyToo;
Fathead; Whingemonster; fluffyhead etc. They know their nicknames and answer to them, no matter how many variations there are.

Well of course! Ferg is officially Fergus, but is usually Ferg or Fergface. But also Bobsie, Bobsical (that has its own song too, to the tune of 'A Musical' from the Shakespeare musical - "a bobsical" A bobsical! He's a furry tosied hunking bobsical...") Pudding, Frogs, Frogface, His Lordship, Sir....

I used to say hello twice a day to Trevor the tree on my way to and from work... until he was blown down in a bad storm 😢 Now Trevor is just a stump 😦

Talking to animals is fine, loads of people do that, it's the voice I do for her when she 'answers' me that's the problem and the things she says

Haha! This made me really chuckle as I have always done this. All my pets ( usually Dogs ) have different vocal 'conversations' with me too. One of them 'instructs' me to give him a massage first thing every morning ☺️

I can’t eat kitkats or bounties in public as I nibble all of the chocolate off them first and then just eat the middle.
