What's Your Weirdest Quirk?

    After watching the Inbetweeners with my ears covered and my eyes closed as Will made a tit of himself and having to do the same at any other mortifying comedy (The Office is torture for me!), I got to wondering if anyone has any quirks as odd as mine?

    I paint pictures of flowers on naked women. What do I win?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I have sex with horses. Only female ones mind you! I'm not sick or anything! :mad:

    I put a towel on the toilet seat before I take a shit, it's both a comfort and hygiene thing

    A flowery woman. As in a woman with her "flowers". Be warned: your prize may yell at you and cry for absolutely no reason. :pac:

    For a few years while in primary school, I used to avoid walking on the cracks/lines on the footpath during my 10 min trip to the yard. No idea how it came about, or how it disappeared. I had forgotten about it completely until I watched Jack Nicholson do it in As Good As It Gets. Seeing that made me go :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,836 ✭✭✭TanG411


    I make poos in Paul's bathroom.

    Doesn't everybody avoid stepping over the cracks? Isn't it like seeing a crunchy looking leaf on the footpath and simply having to step on it?

    Please tell me everybody does that.

    I still stomp through the leaves in Autumn and I'm 26.

    When I'm on the Bus or the Luas, I have to sit facing the direction of travel.

    Can't bear traveling backwards with people looking at me.

    I hate that too except it's not because people are looking at me. It just feels weird or something. :confused:

    No hygiene there for the poor fool who dries their hands in the same towel after you've left the bathroom!

    I blush at sex scenes in movies.:o

    Before a fight I say a prayer that me and my opponent will be safe, then I spend the next few minutes trying to beat the crap out of him.

    I also spit into my hands, rub 'em together, crack my knuckles, stomp my feet then tie - untie and retie my belt.

    I've a fat, happy buddha who's belly I rub every day.

    It's not really a quirk, more a......****, can't remember what they're called....anyway

    People eating with their mouth open. My brother does it, but really, really loud, like he's trying to share it with everyone. Drives me insane!

    It's not really a quirk but from watching too many scary movies i refuse to look in any mirrors or look out windows after it gets dark. I also try my best not to go into any bathroom....I'm deathly afraid of seeing a person pop up ! It can get quite tricky when I'm going to bed but I'm quite used to it at this stage :rolleyes: !


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


    OP, that's not weird and that's not a quirk. Just so you know.

    From some of the reactions here, it's definitely proven to be both!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,076 ✭✭✭✭bnt


    My voice, apparently, has two settings:
    1. too quiet
    2. too loud
    :rolleyes:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    sometimes I walk backwards as it saves time turning around. Just around the house mind you as I don't want to seem too odd.

    walking towards pigeons in the street to make them fly at other people. always makes me laugh.

    hm - walking behind fat people in busy streets as I hate dodging people as I walk e.g. Graften street. - you just have to get the timing right or the person will think you're following them - then switch to following the next closest fat person - it's a form of crowd surfing i guess? people always move out of the way of fat people when walking fast.

    I don't consider it a quirk either. Both of the comedies you mentioned, The Office in particular, rely very heavily on the viewer feeling squirmish. My mnd and stomach actually feel repulsed by the cringiness while watching The Office (U.K one mind you, the American one just doesn't seem quite as brutally painful to watch).

    Peep show and Curb your Entusiasm are other shows which would would probably cause you to squirm while watching them; the people who produced these show want this to be the case.

    I've never had a problem with Peep Show oddly enough but enough people have commented on the reaction being strange that I was starting to think it was just a quirk. So maybe not such a weird quirk after all. :) Glad to know I'm not the only one who reacts so strongly!

    Chickens. Not going into any more details, but... chickens.

    I bed hop in my sleep sometimes. I don't think that could be classed as a quirk though, maybe more of some sort of weird disorder.

    I do the crisp packet thing too. It has to be opened the right way up. And I put bottle caps back on top of empty beer bottles. And I have to tap my spoon three times on the side of my cup after stirring tea/coffee.

    I can't tell left from right. I have to stop and think about it. Bloody embarrasing!:o

    Ooh I can't either. I have to hold up my hands sometimes to figure it out.

    Same here. Apparently it's because our dominant eye is on the other saide from the dominant hand/foot. If you're right handed, then you're left-eyed. It's a rare and exclusive club. Welcome!

    I know some people who do this aswell, so maybe not that strange, but the volume on the tv has to be on an even number ie on 14 definitely NOT 13
    (think some people do it in 5's... the wierdos)
