    It's not really a quirk, more a......****, can't remember what they're called....anyway

    People eating with their mouth open. My brother does it, but really, really loud, like he's trying to share it with everyone. Drives me insane!

    ok mine is really wierd....i hate packets of things to be opened upsidedown....crisps, boxes, bags of veg anything with words on it has to be opened the correct way or i throw it in the bin. Don't know where it came from. my fiance thinks it is hilarious and will do it on purpose which makes me leave the room to calm down, now he has the young cub doin it to and she waves it in my face with an evil little laugh what you think of this mammy aaaggggh drives me insane......hopefully someday like the girl with the cracks on the pavements it will frig off....hopefully i say

    It's not really a quirk but from watching too many scary movies i refuse to look in any mirrors or look out windows after it gets dark. I also try my best not to go into any bathroom....I'm deathly afraid of seeing a person pop up ! It can get quite tricky when I'm going to bed but I'm quite used to it at this stage :rolleyes: !

    OP, that's not weird and that's not a quirk. Just so you know.

    From some of the reactions here, it's definitely proven to be both!

    My voice, apparently, has two settings:
    1. too quiet
    2. too loud
    :rolleyes:

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.

    sometimes I walk backwards as it saves time turning around. Just around the house mind you as I don't want to seem too odd.

    walking towards pigeons in the street to make them fly at other people. always makes me laugh.

    hm - walking behind fat people in busy streets as I hate dodging people as I walk e.g. Graften street. - you just have to get the timing right or the person will think you're following them - then switch to following the next closest fat person - it's a form of crowd surfing i guess? people always move out of the way of fat people when walking fast.

    I don't consider it a quirk either. Both of the comedies you mentioned, The Office in particular, rely very heavily on the viewer feeling squirmish. My mnd and stomach actually feel repulsed by the cringiness while watching The Office (U.K one mind you, the American one just doesn't seem quite as brutally painful to watch).

    Peep show and Curb your Entusiasm are other shows which would would probably cause you to squirm while watching them; the people who produced these show want this to be the case.

    I've never had a problem with Peep Show oddly enough but enough people have commented on the reaction being strange that I was starting to think it was just a quirk. So maybe not such a weird quirk after all. :) Glad to know I'm not the only one who reacts so strongly!

    Chickens. Not going into any more details, but... chickens.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    I bed hop in my sleep sometimes. I don't think that could be classed as a quirk though, maybe more of some sort of weird disorder.

    I do the crisp packet thing too. It has to be opened the right way up. And I put bottle caps back on top of empty beer bottles. And I have to tap my spoon three times on the side of my cup after stirring tea/coffee.

    Ooh I can't either. I have to hold up my hands sometimes to figure it out.

    Same here. Apparently it's because our dominant eye is on the other saide from the dominant hand/foot. If you're right handed, then you're left-eyed. It's a rare and exclusive club. Welcome!

    I know some people who do this aswell, so maybe not that strange, but the volume on the tv has to be on an even number ie on 14 definitely NOT 13
    (think some people do it in 5's... the wierdos)

    Whenever i switch on a light i have to do it twice. On - off - on again.

    Heres the weird thing, i didn't realize i was doing it till i was asked a few years ago as to why i did it. I was like; do what?

    If I'm in the city and I go to my bus stop and there's a bus waiting there but it seems to be too crowded I will wait for the next one so I can get a window seat. Even if I really want to get home. :o

    Clothing has to be put on the right side first - coat, socks, jeans, shoes etc.

    The right curtain has to overlap the left one when closed.

    I like all the doors in my house to be closed otherwise I think some murderer is going to jump out at me.

    Oh I have plenty.

    I cannot sit down in a room when there is a press/cuphoard open. And likewise curtains. Everything needs to be shut up tight.
    And thats probably because I'm in witness protection

    That makes a lot of sense. My mate is right footed and left handed and took a lot of stick over left and right. Hmmm.

    when i sit down anywhere, chair, couch, on the bus or wherever, that split second where you let yourself go to fall back into the seat i make an old man noise like i have a stiff/sore back or the weight of the world on my shoulders. same thing when im getting up from sitting down. i never noticed it until mates in college pointed it out, it always gives them a giggle.

    I can't ever tell a story without going off on a mental tangent for a while in the middle, forgetting the story I was actually trying to tell and getting annoyed when my friends/co-workers look like I've lost them.
