    any'' odd'' eccentricities or quirks that others raise their eyebrows at, but are normality for you?

    I like to shower in the dark. its relaxing and saves electricity yet the others in the house find it odd and ask me about it as if its a weird fetish.

    when I was younger during a picky phase I used to pick all toppings and cheese off my pizza and eat it bare. and when I could I would get a small customised pizza with just tomato sauce to myself.

    I like to film my unsuspecting housemates in the shower. Except for one weirdo who insists on leaving the lights off.

    The roads are not a sports area.

    What about marathon runners and road bowlers? And the Isle of Man TT is some spectacle.

    Don't drink tea or coffee

    Have never once tried either, have no desire to either


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,449 ✭✭✭✭One eyed Jack


    Talking in my sleep apparently. I dunno what that's about myself, but I also talk to myself when I'm awake, it simply helps me think when I verbalise my thoughts.

    I sometimes read words backwards. Especially if it is,eg, a name of a hotel or something. I'll say the name in my head as it is spelt backwards.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 134 ✭✭animum


    I read the names of towns. and names of buildings in that towns accents...I would say Dooblin, or clondaawwkin...

    killarneh, Kerreh

    but only when I am actually in the place,
    like I want to be accepted by the locals or something
    haha

    very strange habit, probably annoying.

    The roads when not expressly reserved for a public sports event are not a sports area.

    I expressly reserve the right to cycle on the road whenever and wherever I feel like it (except through red lights of course), so no problem. :)

    And isn't it nice how us cyclists are now willing to share the road with car drivers even though they were originally built for bicycles and trams? http://www.theguardian.com/environment/bike-blog/2013/apr/16/roads-not-built-for-cars-book

    Because no cyclists also own cars. Or pay into central Govt. taxation which also goes to pay for road building and the upkeep of roads. Right.

    If I'm doing any research, I take handwritten notes. I find that it helps me retain information a lot better, and I can organise it better as I go along. To give an example, for my MA dissertation, I had about 150 A4 pages of notes, which I then typed up, before I started drafting. People thought I was crazy, but fcuk them, I got a first :D Downside is that I've developed a kind of personal shorthand that's more or less unreadable for anyone else, I forget to write longhand fairly often.

    Nearly 30 and still watch the big WWE Events. I don't follow it as much anymore but still know what's going on. I don't take it as a sport but as a form of (fixed) entertainment.

    People think I'm strange when they find out that I floss my teeth every day for some reason! I'm more disgusted that they don't!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 477 ✭✭The Strawman Argument


    I feel like I'm missing some stranger ones, but here's a few I've gotten stick for:
    • Break foods into their individual sections which I eat one by one (most disgusting example is Snickers)
    • Mentally construct pop-up versions of random objects I see in rooms when I'm bored (e.g. lectures, waiting rooms, boring conversations)
    • Fill a flask full of hot water each time I boil the kettle so I don't have to boil it again for the next few hours of tea of coffee
    • Cut my own hair very erratically, just take chunks out of it with a scissors on a whim every week or two
    • Fall into a sleep pattern of getting up at about 2am and going to bed around 7pm any time I've a really strict 9-5 type schedule
    • Make an attempt to clean a public toilet somewhat if it's just wee on it
    • Put post it notes all over my room with important information or reminders about things on them
    • Wander off by myself just about anywhere without telling whoever I'm with
    • Buy shoes from Penney's


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,035 ✭✭✭✭J Mysterio

    I do this too. It's not as strange as you may think.

    When I'm out running I always throw a stone into old house ruins, just to acknowledge their lives and work, and to say hello, like.

    Does this mean like, disasembleing a Snickers bar? Like eating the nuts, chocolate, caramel (whatever,) seperate?

    Yes

    ...I haven't had one in ages, and as a rule wouldn't consider eating one in public anymore, for obvious reasons :o

    You're not alone in this oddly. Myself and the lads go to Scamrepus anytime we're in Galway after a night out.

    I like to drive in total silence, no radio, no banging tunes, minimum conversation. No matter what time of year, or weather, I like to have the car window open a little.

    I read things backwards also. Most of all when the name of a TV programme comes up at the ad break. I have to read it backwards in my head.

    I talk to myself in the supermarket, it helps me to remember what I need, even though I have a list too. It's like "what do we need next, Cat? Ah yes, down this aisle here". I also have to make a neeeeyooooomm sound as I go round corners with the trolley .

    No interest in sport period.

    Say this to other heterosexual males & they look at you with as much shock as if you just fondled their groin area.

    I'm the same. "Did you see the game last night"?

    I literally haven't the faintest clue what game they're talking about.

    That IT Crowd episode is an absolute must-see for anyone in our situation.

    When I hear a tune I often sing along in my head spelling out the melody: A AA Beeee! C# Deee!!! Etc.
    It used to be awkward when I went on dates. If there was music on I hadn't a clue what they were talking about!
