say thank you to cashpoint machines?

say excuse me if you rumble?

open your mouth when applying massacre?

steal sample some of the meal when you're plating up?

read the end of the book before the rest?

shout at the television?

talk to the animals?

pretend you're a firebreathing dragon on a frosty morning?

wear pants in your hair when you can't find a bobble?

shove a few dirty things in the dishwasher and rewash clean stuff, to save emptying it?

Obviously these are pretty rhetorical, please feel free to add your own queries.

Thought of another, although this is more 'sad' than weird ...

I go back through my diary and smile/grimace/whatever to be reminded of social and other occasions and what happened/how they went. Blush

Have I killed this, then? Please come back, people; this thread has really made me giggle!

I also do the singing along to the radio in the shower / bath and pretend to be in a music video. I also do it in the car when a really good song comes along and I pretend to drive seductively with one arm on the steering wheel and pretend my wing mirror is the camera recording my amazing video!!

I have arguments in my head with my DH about totally random stuff, I always win of course Wink

When i'm mopping up in the kitchen and listening to my ipod at the same time I dance with my mop and also use it as a microphone on a stand!

I'm sure there's many more I just cant think of them at the moment!

I am very superstitious about magpies and fear doom if I see one on it's own.

I was told as a child that spitting cancels out the bad luck, but as I couldn't bring myself to spit I got into the habit of letting out a tiny bubble of spit when I see one magpie. I still do.

Recently, I did my usual little spit bubble at the magpie, only misjudged the amount of saliva in my mouth and dribbled all down my chin, just as a couple of the Alpha Mummies from the toddler group walked past. They've avoided me ever since, so every cloud, and all that... Grin

0891, could you salute the magpies instead? Less messy ...

0891 · 05/04/2011 09:40

saluting? that would just make me look like a crazylady Grin

Personally, I'd probably rather salute than dribble down my chin ...
