Only have the volume on the tv on an even number,cos it sounds mad if it's on an odd number !

I do it 5s

As a kid when in the back of the car at night, I used to squint my eyes and pretend the street lights coming towards us where UFO's and I had to shoot them down with my imaginary lazer beam

Does anyone else count the letters in a sentence you've just heard to see if it's an odd or even amount of letters? Then, if they're odd, make it into two piles, one odd and one even and then say the sentence again making sure to pronounce the gap in between the piles? I also feel very frustrated of its not an even number if letters :rolleyes: I literally do this about 60 times a day and it can get really distracting, especially during exams :L

Am I mental? :L

Oh I always count the amount of letters in a word and then spell the word in a certain rhythm over and over again depending on how many letters is in it. I dunno...

Started years ago and still do it,if i hear a sentence or am talking I will count the letters in the sentence and see if its divisible by three,if not I try to re-arrange it so it is,starting with changing you're to you are etc to gain an extra letter and vice versa

I used to try and get the two sets of numbers to be the same, using addition/subtraction/multiplication/division.

So I'm not alone then.....

I can't have tv volume on a 3, 7 or 9. Has to be even or 5.

As I'm talking to a really boring, annoying or agressive cuntomer at work, I am secretly working out ways to kill them or just escape myself. All while keeping a placid face.

I found out I can cry underwater, did it while I was swimming and depressed at same time. Got a real laugh from the oddity of it and it cheered me up no end. I can cry while cycling too, which I also found funny enough to cheer me up. :o (one has to be careful to do it in secret tho)

As us Irish say...No offence but you are fúcking weird!!

Ah jaysus indeed!

I popped back into this thread hoping for more car window runners and laser beam street lights - what I got instead was a load of OCD nutters :pac:

When i was young and in a car looking out the windows i would imagine myself grabbing onto telegraph poles as we passed them, once the next pole came into sight i'd let go and spring (catapult style) to it.

Perfectly normal i was.

You've reminded me of another one of mine (I'm know there are loads but I see them as normal so they're not presenting themselves immediately for posting here), from when I was a child.

To pass the time in mass, especially if I was in a different church to my usual/local church, I used imagine I'd somehow got stuck up in the rafters/beams of the ceiling and would work out my monkey-like escape route up this beam, across another, trapeze swing to a window, hold on tight and then somersault to another beam etc. This worked a lot better in big churches with elaborate beams in the ceiling but there was always plenty of scope in any church.

The other thing I'd do is pretend I had something amazing and interesting in my pocket that I'd forgotten about and had just found again. I used wonder if anyone else, as bored as I was, was thinking "I wonder what she's found in her pocket that's so amazing". I'm sure they weren't...but at the time I thought it possible.
