    What is your strangest habit?

    Mine is probably the fact that I often grab a small ice-pack and put it under the pillowcase before I go to bed. I tend to get very warm in the night, so it gives one of my pillows an instant-cold part, which I find nice indeed - was particularly handy in the recent heat-wave!

    I often sleep curled up in a ball at the top corner of my bed.

    I rub my face with the back of my hand (unawares) when I'm anxious , it's very soft.

    I brush my front teeth more, because they show.

    I also like to drink tea while in the bath. From a cup, not from the bath.

    In an order that would surprise us?

    I'd say that's quite a nice combination actually!

    I'm right-handed, but at night after my wife and kids are asleep, I seem to use the computer mouse with my left hand for some reason.

    Just as I'm nodding off to sleep my body will do a weird jolt thing. I'm half conscious I've done it. But my boyfriend always gives me a little squeeze when it happens and I fall asleep smiling. :o

    Wow, reading that back made me cringe.

    OP, that's genius! Mine is probably talking to myself while trying to solve unusual problems. My thought process is rather rapid, meaning that I essentially stare into space muttering seemingly unrelated sentence fragments, mostly along the lines of If I did this...but then he'd do that...and I forgot to factor in this...of course, that's it!...but that would never work...
    For some reason people say its disconcerting.

    one of my strange habits, I have many, is that when Im having a bowl of cereal, I can only use milk from an unopened container.

    Even if there is only a little bit gone out of one, I must open a fresh one. Oh and I hate milk jugs. Wont use one.

    Drives himself nuts :o

    I hold my breath going past graveyards, even it means basically going blue in the face!

    Had a weird thing since I was child where I thought I would breathe in the ghosts. It must work because, as far as I know, I haven't breathed one in yet!! :P

    I'm a bigger man than that!

    Yeah my boyfriend does that. I just dig him in the ribs, freaks me out !! I can't have my breathing restricted at all so it bothers me when he's struggling to breath!

    I drink so much from 2 litre bottles (cheaper) that I now have marks on my hands from pressure of the neck digging into them.
    Might count as a habit.

    It's sleep apnea and it can be fatal, go to a doc.

    A colleague of mine eats his earwax and snot.
    Hes been pulled up on it numerous times by management and colleagues but still wont stop.
    He starts tucking in after his breaks in the canteen(dessert) and doesnt give a fcuk whos watching him either.
    He alternates between his nasal/aural orifices sucking the contents from his fingertip like a chef would a fine sauce.
    People have become so used to it ,nobody bats an eyelid.
    The dirty bollix.

    I like to click the mouse buttons constantly, really fast.
    I'm always doing it with my 2 fingers. I always find a blank part in the screen when reading something, or when watching a movie etc and just clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick

    When running across the road I do this weird "ay-yay-yay" (think frustrated Italian) to myself in time with my footsteps

    I noticed it a while ago, tried to stop, then started doing it ironically when I couldn't stop, and now it's here to stay.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,257 ✭✭✭Love2love


    Can't eat with a door / window open. I think it make food taste different. Especially eggs ands bread. I can eat outside no problem though!

    And I turn the shower on about 10 minutes before I get in so the room steams up nicely. Won't be doing this for much long when the charges come in!
