Silly habits.... But I just can't help it!

    When I drive into a carpark with a height restriction barrier, I duck to make sure it doesn't hit my head.

    Yes, I know I'm in a vehicle..... But I just can't help it!

    Even though it's just out of the dishwasher, I still blow into a glass before pouring anything into it.

    Every time I arrive home or at the house of a friend I always take my watch off without even thinking about it. Always losing that fecking watch!!

    I don't have any silly habits, I'm perfect in every way possible.

    I always have two spare loo rolls in the bathroom (not including the one currently in use). Was only thinking that today weirdly enough. No idea why. No-one needs that much ever in one sitting :D

    Biting skin off my lip and grinding my teeth.

    Errrrr Why?

    Picking my hole.

    I blow in my tea after I've put milk in it, eventhough that should be enough to cool it down.

    I say 'owww' when I hit myself off something, even when it doesn't hurt, or if I just hit an object I was holding rather than any part of myself. And sometimes I 'meow' instead, which is even more weird...

    I have to check I have my hall door keys twice before I leave the flat, and that I've locked the door twice before I can go off happy. Its a bit ocd I know.

    I have to have the coffee machine set before I go to bed every night, it ruins my mornings if I don't.

    I never let the car go under a quarter tank of petrol.

    Errrrr Why?
    Because its a silly habit. :)

    even numbers on the microwave.
    even numbers on the t.v volume.

    Ah, but what happens when you reach for the loo roll, and there's none left?

    Murphy's Law dictates this will happen after a particularly scuttery, smelly, and burning sh*te.

    That's when the spare bog roll makes sense, and you thank yourself for doing it.

    I have been known to scour out the inside of my nostrils whilst driving to/ from work, 45 min journey, that's some picking. I love every minute of it.


    Also, I scratch the inside of my ears with matches, very relaxing, dangerous too, apparently.

    That's odd. And what if you're microwaveable meal says 3 minutes or 5?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,512 ✭✭✭Oh_Noes


    Getting out of the car, locking it with the zapper.

    Turning around in about 30 seconds and locking it again because I did it subconciously the first time and don't remember doing it.

    Always walk around ladders never under them,


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,562 ✭✭✭✭Sunnyisland


    Put car keys in me pocket and then start looking elsewhere for them.

    I always says thanks to ticket machines etc :o:o

    I used to have a low washing line strung out above two sections of my 'garden'. Ye had to duck ye head maybe an inch and half to pass under it.

    For a year or two, my mate and I would duck under that fcuking line. In the end, it drove me so mad ~ ducking ~ I took it down.

    Then spent a good year, my mate too, ducking beneath this non existent barrier!!! Walking along. Side by side. Like a right pair of cnuts, we'd suddenly dip our heads, in perfect unison.

    God, that was annoying! :mad:

    I like to leave a nice ripe 'King Edward' slumbering in the pot if I visit friends.

    Timing is important and the load needs to be backed out just before leaving.

    Like to think of my hosts face when 'King Kong's thumb' confronts them after the guests have left.

    If one can get two in a row it's great, the hat trick attempt might be a bit dangerous.

    If I'm playing any type of racing game on a console I lean with the turns.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,826 ✭✭✭phill106


    picking the skin around my fingernails, and peeling/picking at my nails with my fingers or teeth. Nasty!

    I'm like that with any keys. Every morning going to works a nightmare. I lock up, 2 minutes up the road I convince myself I didn't actually lock the back door or something and contemplate returning to check:mad:

    I jerked off to a Derval O'Rourke photo.

    I'm constantly trying to rewind live radio:o

    I'll be driving along in the car and miss what the DJ has just said, or want to go back the good part of a song, and I put my hand out to press the non- existent rewind button!!

    I blame sky+


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,201 ✭✭✭languagenerd


    Running for the Luas even if one isn't coming...

    Never watching where I'm walking and banging into things/people, as well as accidentaly putting one foot through the loop of the lace of the other shoe while walking (leading to many embarrassing falls :P)

    Oh, and covering my ears (not my eyes) if something scares me.

    Careful you don't bore a hole in your cap pal :cool:

    • At completely random times I get into a panic thinking I've lost my keys and have to check my pockets for them. Even when just in the door. Happens twice a day.
    • Going to the pub and taking off my watch and glasses, and taking out my phone and placing them on the table in front of me. Don't know why....
    • Bringing something to read EVERY time I need to take a dump. Have done this at a session while plastered. Got some weird looks when I start asking the girls did anyone have todays paper.

    + 1, always get the pish ripped out of me for this one :o
    Same goes for bowling, I insitcintively lean my whole body to the left/right/whatever way I want the ball to go, when the ball is already well out of my hand.

    Also, if I have an itch on one arm and scratch it, I have to scratch the same place on the other arm or I feel all off-balance.
