    I'm constantly messing with the tags on my clothes.:oThey have to be the soft type though!None of those crappy papery ones!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,528 ✭✭✭foxyboxer


    I refuse to drink soft drinks because I think they have too much sugar/calories.

    Yet, I'll quite happily drink pint after pint which is probably far worse health-wise.

    :rolleyes:

    I can't touch bathroom door handles after I've washed my hands :eek::eek::eek: Lets face it some people don't wash their hands after using the bathroom so I can't help but think about all the germs on those door handles.

    If I'm using the toilets at work or a public toilet, I usually wait for someone else to open the door :o:o:o or if I have to open the door I wrap my hand in toilet tissue so I don't have to touch the handle. :o:o:o

    hate to break it to you, but you also have to use three smileys all the time.

    If I have the cold or I've been sneezing, the roof of my mouth gets itchy. I try and relieve the itch with my tongue and it makes a weird noise.

    I used to lift my feet up off the accelerator when driving through puddles.

    I'm also very prone to static shocks so I've developed a bad habit of knocking on metal things with my sleeve pulled down over my hand before touching them properly.

    I say "I'm gone" out loud whenever I trip (which is quite often) even if I'm on my own. Did it on Grafton St the other day and got some funny looks.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    I talk to objects in my room and ask them questions.

    I have this dance I do throughout the day, kinda involves clicking my fingers and wiggling a bit. Have another dance I do when I get out of the shower to dry myself.

    I make up songs to convey my feelings and sing them out loud when nobody else is around. Most common one is one I sing at the bus stop asking why the bus is not here, I'm very cold.

    Otherwise I'm fairly normal, probably.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,564 ✭✭✭✭whiskeyman


    Sometimes when talking to someone, I imagine in my mind inflicting crazy pain and violence on them - like ramming a pencil I'm holding in their eye or slamming their head on a table.
    I've never carried out anything like this and happens even to people I love dearly.

    I probably need help.

    Yes. Do this all the time.

    Say and occasionally wave goodbye to my poo as it flushes down the loo.

    I generally take a look and 'rate' my output. For example yesterday I dropped a 'BFL' - a Big F***en Log, or earlier this week I dropped a Rough One.

    Also the odd scratch and sniff.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 158 ✭✭cassElliot


    i have to count stairs when walking up or down them. even if i'm with someone, i cant follow their conversation because I have to count.

    i like counting when I brush my teeth too....


    ..... i wouldn't mind but i'm sh!te at maths :pac:

    Another one for the even number volume thing but 15; 25; 35 is ok, 11 too obviously!

    Also duck the head going under barriers, etc.

    When on the web at home I have four tabs that I always keep open in a cetain order. Browser must always be on full screen.

    Weirdest one is probably this:

    Make sure not to step on the lines in the footpath and count the steps in between trying to ensure it's an even six or whatever each time and having to take an extra large or extra small step in order to keep on track!:eek:

    When I am sitting on the loo I imagine the weirdest scenarios, such as if me and my friends all gained superpowers...

    I must watch the trailer on the DVD before I watch the movie (which really annoys my friends as often it gives away the best bits of the movie)

    I must always sleep on the right hand side of the bed, and always must be big spoon

    I cannot look at left handed people writing

    I must always put in my left contact lens first, and put on my left sock and left shoe first

    I say the word elaborate far too much, as in many times a day...

    I abuse the word "like" far more than anyone else I know (and I know a lot of people who are always doing it), to such an extent that I put it at the end of my sentences in texts and on facebook, and boards like

    I also whenever mind mind wanders, no matter what I am thinking about, or how inappropriate a situation I am in, even if I am terrified walking through a dodgy alleyway, I sing "Build Me Up Buttercup" out loud without even realising I am doing it... Only was informed of this when I started working in an office and was told that I was singing while I was working all day and asked do I actually know any other songs...

    Whenever I fill up my car with petrol, there is this little part of me that worries the car is going to blow up when I turn the key to start it again.

    TV sound has to be on 46 or 54, depending whats on. 46 for programmes, 54 for sport and films.

    Surround sound has to be 23.

    Can't be late for anything, ever. Get anxious if being late is a possibility.

    Have to sit on the far right. Everyone else in a room has to be on my left. If at a meeting and dont get my choice of seat if will effect how much I interact at the meeting. I will arrive for meetings as early as possible to get to pick the best seat.

    Tea break at 09:55, lunch at 12:55. Go past 10:00 or 13:00 and I may skip completely (Someone might have taken my seat!!!).

    Can only drink out of a pint glass at the part where there is no logo. Did this subconsciously for years until someone pointed it out to me.

    I see the number 52 everywhere, but 8 is the best number. 4 is ok and 16 is also quite good. I add numbers up to see what they finish at, i.e. 12345 would be 6 which is no good.

    When I'm in the car and bored I always talk to myself in Ian Paisley's voice, have it down to a tee now.

    When I'm walking, my right foot has to step on the surface I'm on before my left can touch a different one. That makes it really hard walking along paths that have been ripped up over and over again and replaced with a different type of thing. Also I can't step on drains, even the fully covered ones.

    I count syllables in sentences, and they must always be an even number.

    Numbers on dials have to be even, also.

    I have to spit in the sink of every lavatory I go into, even if it's just for a quick moment to get a tissue.

    I collect wads of my hair that I brush out and skin that I peel off.

    I construct detailed events inside my head of how I want reality to be like. It's always really normal, only better because life in my head is pretty awesome.

    And I always use two emoticons.

    There's more, but it's annoying counting a post this long.
