Does anyone have a weird habit that they do?

    I noticed one of my mates seems to always snaps his fingers whenever he laughs it's very strange.

    Judge people by what they are wearing.

    My colleague gets a good laugh out of something I do. When I yawn in work, after the yawn has finished, I say "Yawn" in a very deadpan way. I don't do it intentionally, but I'm aware that I have said it afterwards. And it only happens in work (I think).

    Another yawn-related thing is that I don't do the contagious yawn. Apparently it's supposed to mean that I'm a sociopath or on the spectrum, but a different colleague noticed this and made it his mission to make me yawn-through-contagion. He failed.

    sort of collect & don’t throw out old charging & usb cables.

    Pays off. Left the charger for my dental flosser in the hotel last holiday I was on. Had a spare charger off the previous flosser..cost €18 euros from memory for a replacement cable.

    Sometimes after I burp, I'll slap myself on the chest.

    I shall not be answering any questions about this.

    I always found it amazing that contagious yawns can be transmitted between species too.

    I'm pushing the ambit of the thread here, but when I see people brushing their teeth, my own mouth twitches uncontrollably in a big way.

    My laces have to be the exact same tightness on both feet. If one feels a bit looser than the other I have to untie and tie again until they both feel the same. I combat this by when I buy shoes I tie them once and that's it until I'm finished with them.

    I make sure that the toilet paper on the holder is over. If I see it under I have to change it as it does my head in 😂

    I'm autistic, where do I start? Rubbing my hands together rapidly as if I were cold (but I'm not) or rocking my legs when sitting.

    Everytime I yawn I apply pressure to my jaw to stop it from locking.

    Stealing my hot babe neighbours thongs of her clothes line! Is that weird?

    That's not a weird habit, that's a requirement 😁

    Anyone who doesn't do that is an absolute monster.

    I can crack my big toes, knees, thumbs and jaw on demand - usually do it in quiet environments (mass, work meetings, waiting rooms, etc) for maximum effect!

    Not sure if it counts as a habit, but I regularly browse through the google maps layouts of towns/cities that I see pop up on telly or in a book or whatever.

    Most recent one was Jackson Hole, but have been known to look at random Alaskan backwaters and Pacific island settlements too. I need to know if there is a bar if I ever find myself there!

    When I use the word ‘Repeat’ in a sentence, I use the word twice.

    For example,’ that programme is a repeat repeat ‘

    I count to 64 continuously, either in 4s or 8s, I do it by tapping my toes or my fingers. Have been doing it for as long as I remember. I also move my eyes to focus on a light where I imprint the numbers 3 1 7 5 9 on my vision when I close my eyes, it fades, obviously. Again I've been doing it for as long as I remember

    Love doing this. Some of the northern Canadian spots are fascinating for their remoteness.

    I also have to check the population numbers for every place I talk or hear about.

    i had to move home to my parents for a few weeks a year or two ago while my house was being rewired.

    the one thing my dad did which drove me nuts is he eats pringles wrong. stuffs six or seven of them into his mouth in one go. that's just freakishly wrong. you eat them one at a time.

    While watching Room To Improve, finding each house through Google Maps and taking my own tour of the area and making pass-remarkable comments about every aspect, all while sitting at home with some unfinished DIY jobs around my feet and a very wonky patio.

    When lying in bed I have a habit of grinding my teeth and wiggling my toes. As far as I know it’s a symptom of overthinking. I also find cracking my elbows to be weirdly satisfying.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,613 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    Yeah , I have to check that I have done and posted wordle every day .

    I got into habit of deleting messages after it's sent on WhatsApp if it's got typos ( and for some annoying reason I've experienced this more on the app) and I follow up typing it all again ensuring there's no typos. Even for obvious typos which wouldn't make difference if I didn't correct it people would still understand it
