Does anyone have a weird habit that they do?

I talk to myself a lot.

Not just mumbling expletives when I'm annoyed, but holding near full conversations with myself when thinking out loud.

When taking a No. 2 at home or in any other clean toilet with a clean tiled/marble floor, I take my shoes and socks off as I really like the feel of a cold floor on my feet whilst I relieve myself. 🚻 🚾 🚽

Bathroom carpets, therefore, really disgust me!

Well, I'm still posting on boards.ie in 2025, isn't that weird enough, lol.

Must admit, I'm old fashioned in the sense I prefer old skool traditional discussion forums on the net, never entirely bought into the whole reddit/Twitter/Facebook thing.

Nope, you are not following the "paper trail". its a one-handed operation. The forearm of the "tearing" hand locks the roll in position, and you can take a "sheet" if you have already, well, you know, taken a sh**.

I have this habit where I always have to double-check that I locked the door, even if I literally just did it and watched myself do it. Sometimes I go back twice just to be sure. Not the weirdest, but definitely feels a bit odd when I catch myself doing it again.

I do this a lot. I once read if you say "badger badger badger" when you lock it the first time, it will enforce in your mind that the door is locked. I do it when I remember and it does work. I have no idea where badger badger badger came from.

Every time i park my car i always mutter to myself "Handbrake Check" - before i get out of the car. I have often walked back and double checked to make sure handbrake is on. The reason i do this is because 20 years ago, i was distracted getting out of my car, left the gear stick in neutral and forgot to apply the handbrake while i went into the local credit union - 5 seconds later someone came running in to say "is that your car rolling down the road? - sure as hell, i ran outside to see my car rolling down in the direction of another parked car - only to be stopped when it the wheel hit the kerb first. A close shave which made me paranoid about my handbrake ever since…..

Does it relate to this perhaps?
