    Following on from "Who's the biggest weirdo you know?"..the tables have turned!

    What weird habits do you have? Explain!

    -I LOVE, LOVE LOVE soggy cereal. If I have a bowl of rice crispies or cornflakes, I pour the milk and have to wait at least 10 mins before I eat em...when they're all nice and soggy mmmm :)
    Bran flakes have to be warm...ie..soak with hot water than add milk in.

    Everyone thinks it's weird...I think it's perfectly normal..

    I stand in the middle of a playground with my hands shaking in my pockets, muttering.

    It's quite relaxing.

    I put cold water in my coffee to cool it down. People think I'm strange :confused:

    I wash my pots before I eat the food I created in them. Figure I might as well since I'm there, and whatever's in it is easier to wash off because it's still warm, and it gives my food adequate time to cool to the perfect temperature.

    Flawless system tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 881 ✭✭✭Chocoholic84


    Oh I also hate really hot food...I try to leave things to cool for a few minutes before I eat them...people think I'm strange..why am I strange for not wanting to burn the mouth of meself? :confused:

    I like trains!!! Seriously a good day is when i see 5 or 6 trains. They have to be moving passenger trains, motionless freight trains are boring!!

    I Like to watch them from level crossings, and the new trains on the dublin cork line are the bomb!! Even my OH though it was weird at first, But now if im driving he'll point them out if he sees them. so if your on a train, look out for the person in the silver Hyundai Coupe and wave!!!

    Same as and it's great. Food tastes much better knowing you have little cleanup left. Plus I have no choice! :D

    I know what you mean I think... I cant look at them either, it kind of reminds me of bacteria or something. The worst would be loads of warts really close together..ughhh, but Im sure everyone hates looking at that. Whats to like!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,378 ✭✭✭Borneo Fnctn


    I can never find clothes I like but when my brother buys something nice I say to him "I want that". Then I bargain him to swap something for it. Also, I'm a bit mental.

    Make a cup of tea and leave the tea bag in the cup whilst drinking it. I get looks in work for doing it it.

    Ive always had a habit of counting syllables to see if a sentence has an even or odd number of them... I get some weird satisfaction out of knowing. I used to count the syllables with my fingers until people started to notice.

    'au' sounding words like staunch, flaunt, taunt, make me kind of nauseous

    I like the smell of my dogs ears, and often smell them if we're just sitting down together, watching tv and stuff

    Odd superstitions... if I'm going for a job interview or an exam I'll set myself a challenge - e.g. unless you see three red cars on the way/ pass three coffee shops/, things will go badly. No idea why but it matters at the time.

    I do this too, it's great because the tea gets stronger towards the end.

    Pee in a bottle. If it's late at night and I can't be arsed going down to the toilet I'll find a bottle near my bed, if there is one, and piss into that and empty out in the morning. A friend was staying over one night and in a my groggy just woken state I forgot he was in the room and pissed into the bottle only to wake him and have him stare me in the eye* when in mid flow. He says it haunts him to this day.

    *Not those eyes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,556 ✭✭✭Nolanger


    Read all right side pages in newspapers/magazines and then start again on the left pages - it's just faster.

    I did this a few times too.

    Also, I stayed in student accomodation for 1st and 2nd year, the toilet was all the way up a cold, dark hall. There were sinks in our rooms. What do you think happened??

    I can't fold the page corners on book, it drives me crazy when people do it. I think it ruins the book. With burgers I have to eat around the edges, then eat the middle, the middle is the best part.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5 EllenJamesian


    I put a handful of pasta into my mug of tea, drink the tea and eat the pasta after when its been softened slightly. Yum!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,942 ✭✭✭missingtime


    My ex girlfriend used to think i was weird, probably still does but thats a different issue, when I used to dry myself in the shower (shower off obviously) instead of stepping out.

    It so warmer in there though...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I eat uncooked spaghetti out of the fridge, leave my tea bags in the cup (Which I don't think is that weird, the tea is just stronger), count syllables in sentences and if someone drags their feet I will loudly give out to them about it. Lift your feet ffs :mad:

    Also when I was little I used to eat my hair

    You keep uncooked spaghetti in the fridge?

    Weird.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 182 ✭✭magenta73


    bananas and cheese and onion crisps sandwiches
    yum

    but also some people think I'm weird because I am absolutely terrified of balloons----and no, I didn't have a scary experience with a balloon when I was younger!:(

    I went through a phase of reading books on cartography, I've got a little collection. I know how boring that sounds, and I would agree if it was someone else, but it is interesting. Really, it is.

    I also must drink my first cup of coffe of the day in my pink mug with the little hearts around the rim, or the day is just guarenteed to be disastrous.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 337 ✭✭Ash_M


    Dessert first, then din dins.
    Used to do it as a kid when I could sneak it, and I still do it now.
    I dunno why, sugar puts me in the mood for dinner or something.

    I wonder how many of us poor souls are passing each other on the street, searching earnestly for that last good-luck-bicycle or lucky red car.. normal folk just don't understand the implications!

    For some reason I've always had a preoccupation with my future wife. If I'm bored, I close my eyes and click something on the internet or open a random page on a magazine - the figure looking back at me will be what my future wife looks like, or she will have similar features/ hair color/ level of prettiness. I have no idea why I do this weird thing, it's just a frequent habit:o

    Sometimes I'm pretty chuffed by her looks, sometimes not - those are the bad days.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,228 ✭✭✭bluto63


    I love the smell of my own BO. No one elses, just mine


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 269 ✭✭m3llowship


    I add every collection of numbers up to the number 11 by using each digits singularly. I've been doing it as long as I remember?

    I thoroughly enjoy the feeling of slowly pouring a bucket of water over my hand and letting it run through my fingers.

    There are little comforst as good as sitting watching TV with a towel folded up and placed on top of your head.

    Certain noises I find really good. The noise at the end of the Doug theme song is right up there. Also, a very crunchy crisp.
