Strange Habits?

Bonavox · 2009-07-12 21:59:16

I'm just wondering what strange habits you have that other people find strange? A few of mine: Reading out load to myself Making "hmm and ahh" noises as I eat Sucking on toffees until they're reallly small and spitting them out. Yours?

I sometimes thing of funny things in my head which cause me to laugh out loud a lot. I tend to get some weird looks as people can't work out what I'm laughing at.

I always blow into a glass before pouring milk/juice/beer into it.
Don't ask, I haven't clue why

I make noises when I eat and drink too, usually along the lines of 'ararararargh' I thought everyone did it... Oh and I open bottles really slowly and listen to the fizz. (Did you know different drinks make different sounds?)

I'm sorry but somebody doing either of those around me would wreck my head.

My strange/annoying habit is getting into bed and reading for about an hour and then getting up again to brush my teeth etc. before I go to sleep.

Before pouring a drink into a glass, I have to rinse the glass out twice (or to extra-clean it, four times, with a break in between two... yes I'mvery strange)

And singing to myself. I do it alllll the time; people must think I'm talking to myself because I do it quietly but my mouth moves a fair bit

Whenever I finish a can, I flick off the ring and put into the empty can...

Don't know why, can't remember when I started.

About a year ago I started jokingly referring to shít as poo poo and piss as pee pee. So if I was heading to the toilet I'd say I was heading for a poo poo. The problem is it's kinda stuck and now I do it without thinking. Around my friends it's grand but I think I said it a few times at my sisters wedding around my aunts and uncles.

This isnt a funny one or anythin, people wouldn find it amusing but it annoys me. When im concentrating i stick out my tongue and make a farting sound. I dont even know im doing it. I do it workin, playin sports and as pointed out by herself, filling car wit diesel wit people lookin. How do you stop something you dont realise your doing? Am i a freak?

Ah now seriously. This is about strange habits, not lunacy!

I'm actually guilty of holding sh1t in and farting so I can smell how bad my sh1t will be

And does it make you wonder how their liver might taste with some fava beans and a nice chianti? :eek:

Or is that just me?

Haha! I do that too!

If i'm walking somewhere by myself and i'm thinking something,
I'll spell out my thought in steps (in my head) until i get to the place.
eg "I need to buy credit" would be "*step* I *step* N *step* E *step* E..." etc
That's a bit strange i guess.

I like to take daynaps in the toilets at work. I've worked out I can stretch them to 20 minutes before anyone wonders where I've gone.

I sort of tongue my lips when I'm concentrating, no farting noise though I'm also flossing at my desk (often do), I guess that would be considered strange.

I bought a combination lock a couple of months ago. I didn't need to lock anything, but if I'm watching telly or listening to the radio, I will sit there and open and close it for hours at a time maybe.

I had to replace the lock a couple of weeks back though. The first one was a noisy one and it annoyed my family :pac:
