Irrational things we do....

everyone does some irrational things... what strange things have you done?

I slipped one day and thought I broke my ankle... I crawled, sobbing from my bathroom to my bedroom and painted my toenails cos the polish was chipped and I didn't want the potential Dr McDreamy in A&E thinking I was a skank... it hurt so badly... :eek:

Oh and I've just built a fort around my bedroom door cos I'm home alone and creeped out about house being burgled... I've kitchen table against back door and my bedroom door locked and my study desk in front of the bedroom door so nobody can kick it in.... (lets hope there isnt a fire)

YES I am mad... how mad are you....

I don't let my feet hang out from the bed in the dark, because I'm afraid a disembodied pair of hands will grab and tickle them and never stop.

I drove from Limerick to Cork a few years ago with a broken foot, cos I knew if I went to hospital in Limerick and they put me in a cast it'd be very difficult to get me and my car home to Cork

That's the opposite of irrational.

I always have to check that i turned off the Iron even though i know and remember turning it off. Checking doors are locked also.

Every time i go on holidays i check the car is locked in the car park, but once i'm in departures i'll doubt myself.

I did this also with a fractured left wrist, changing gears was a painful experience.

One of the most irratating things that gets me is people in cinemas. One night this lad was munching away on his popcorn with his mouth wide open while coughing out garbage to his mates "n da hoodz". Couldnt get into the film for 30 mins because of those tools. So I think people eating with their mouths open is the most irratating.

Let's hope they don't cut their way through the ceiling - or the floor - or the wall. :eek:

I always sleep with my back facing the wall in case someone sees an opportunity and acts upon it:(

I am forever doing things like this, especially with the car and hair straightener.. i will lock the car door then tug on the handle 4 times and say its locked then when im walking away i will forget that i have locked it and go back and check LOL it gets annoying if im ever going out to get food

Kold · 09-02-2009 01:46AM

I wash my hands a good 20 times or so a day. I hate having charcoal in my hands even though I use it pretty often. After a painting session I'll be cleaning them for a good 10 mins. I also wash them when I know I'm going to be getting them just as mucky in 2 mins. I also avoid anything to do with fish as much as I can.

MIN2511 · 09-02-2009 01:47AM

1.My clothes are folded and facing a particular direction. My clothes hanging in my wardrobe are in this order shirts, dresses, jackets and coats... Why because i have to balance the length! Plus they are arranged by by colours too, if anyone touches anything in my wardrobe even after a week i always notice(my house mate hates this, cause i always know when she's taken something from my room)

2. I fold my underwear

3. I have a ritual, i always make my bed every morning, sometimes i end up being late for work but i have to make my bed!

limericklady87 · 09-02-2009 01:52AM

yep i have also stayed and done my nails after breaking a bone in my foot...but the doctor was a hottie!

i hate to say it but if i was going in to have a baby i probably would do the tan too..there would be lots of photos taken afterwards after all!

MIN2511 · 09-02-2009 01:58AM

If and if i ever have children(childbirth freaks the **** outta me) i promise to get my bikini waxed, toes painted and manicure done!

Riddle101 · 09-02-2009 01:58AM

I always look things over 3 times to make sure i know it off by heart. It's more of a compulsive disorder tbh but it's pretty irational to me even though i might check something withhin a minute of checking it before but When I was doing my Junior Cert a couple of years ago I had a Geography exam one day, and I thought the exam started at 2:00pm like most of my exams in the afternoon did, but it actually started at 1:30pm. Needless to say i didn't look the timetable over that day and just when it turned 1:20pm I actually decided to look at it just to make sure. I almost killed myself getting to the school, and i managed to get there in time(Although I failed the exam anyway)

Also if I hurt myself and someone near I always make sure to get away from them before I deal with the pain. I know it sounds stupid but the last thing I want is for someone coming over to me to help me when i'm in pain. i blame my dad for that because he's supposed to be a tough guy and if i show my weakness to anyone i keep thinking of him inside my head and how i've let him down. I think i've said too much:o

I do that. But only cos if anything touches my feet during the night that I'm not expecting it frightens the life out of me. Always have to cover the back of my neck with my duvet so no-one can attack me in the dead of night.

I also have to have my wardrobe doors closed or something will crawl out of it and kill me.

Stupid terrifying wardrobes...

Irrational things we do....
