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?!

On my regular dog walk, there’s a horse that I hug. To be fair I think he’s just that kinda horse as last time I saw him there was another horse also hugging up to him 🐴

@Nayday

I talk for the dog as if she's speaking to me - and she has an American accent.

I have to stop myself from doing it when we have visitors.

Leaving the country now I've admitted how weird I am!

Yank here. What region is the accent? Neu Yawk? Baahston? 😁

I blow raspberries in my cat's tummy.

It's a bit hairy, to be honest.

@BikeRunSki @4BlueTowers

There were monsters under my bed until I was 24. Then one of my pet rabbits died so I brought his brother in from where they were living in the shed and had him as a house rabbit, so he wouldn't get lonely. He mainly lived in my room and I was confident in the knowledge that he would savage any lurking monsters. He passed on years ago but the monsters never did come back! So I recommend getting a bunny to sort your witches and axe murderers. True, it will destroy your furniture, carpets, houseplants, cables, anything you leave on the floor, doors, skirting boards, duvet, blankets, and may attack your feet when you get up for a wee in the middle of the might, but worth it to be guaranteed monster-free, I'm sure you'll agree!

I used to chew a few mini cheddars , then spit them out and make a sandwich by putting the chewed up lush between two new ones... So good...Blush

Pollythecat15 · 25/09/2021 22:09

I sing a (very cringey) made-up song to my little boy.
He loves it and joins in with it, but if anyone ever heard it I'd die of embarrassment!!

TillyTopper · 25/09/2021 22:10

I dance round the room to techno with a heavy beat when I'm by myself. I'd never do it in front of any one, I'm morbidly obese.

DoncasterHombre · 25/09/2021 22:10

I "gurn" and pull really ugly faces at myself in the mirror in the bathroom and do OTT/ridiculous karate moves in the hallway.

@sobercuriouskind

I weirdly enjoy it. Especially if I get one with a bulb.
I do this too. Not just armpit hair either. The hairs with bulbs are the best!
RahRahRa · 25/09/2021 22:11

Imfinallyhappy1 how many jobs have you been offered? 😆

Frostine · 25/09/2021 22:11

If I'm home alone I will eat a packet of 10 ( ! ! ) jaffa cakes .

I do that too! I’ve never known anyone else do it before

@KingdomScrolls

I don't actually think this is weird but DH tells me it is, I say please and thank you to our Google home hub thing. For example 'ok Google, play radio 4 please', Google says playing BBC radio 4 then switches the broadcast and I say thank you. My argument is that good manners are always important, his is that it's an inanimate object and the Google lady is not a person.
I was just talking to my dd about this after the previous op mentioning they say thank you to Alexa and Google. I think it could be a slippery slope where by people get used to asking for things and getting whatever they ask for and so if they then ask a real person to do something they might felt they don't need to be polite. I hope I am wrong and that isn't the case and people can differentiate between them.

Similar to the OP, I used to put funsize Mars Bars between my thighs when I was watching telly of an evening to warm them up to the perfect almost-melting point.

"Leonard, can you..." "I can't get up, sorry, I've got Marses warming." Blush

ilovecardigans · 25/09/2021 22:14

We're all perfectly normal. It's the rest of the world that's bonkers. Wink

Theworldishard · 25/09/2021 22:14

@Famousfrays really?! It's amazing isn't it...I said I used to, but I still.do.now.Blush

XenoBitch · 25/09/2021 22:17

I also bite the ends off Wotsits and smoosh saliva into them, and join them together to make a super long Wotsit.

FangsForTheMemory · 25/09/2021 22:18

Also, one of my friends, a cat person like me, listened to me once talking to my cat. 'Izzy a cutesiepie puddytat?' etc etc. When I saw the look on her face, I said 'Don't you talk to your cats like that?' She replied:

'Not in front of other people, Fangs!'

Have you learned the entire Single Ladies dance yet? It's a great "project". Available on Youtube at half speed for ease of learning.
Just sayin...

I have a week off of work in the beginning of October, why would you tell me that?

Bounce55 · 25/09/2021 22:21

I secretly watch Rastamouse on Youtube.
I love him!

TheGonnagle · 25/09/2021 22:21

@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...
Oh wow, me too! I thought it was just me. No pineapple shall be left alone...

Because I think it's time for a new challenge.

And I need to know I'm not the only MNer who has done this.

RockingAmadeus · 25/09/2021 22:22

I change the words and sing “Copacabana” to my cat every day
