What's your wierdest thing?

Everyone has a thing that just makes other people look at them like they have 17 heads when they find out. For instance a friend of mine doesn't really like music?????

My own thing is that I can taste colours, popcorn for instance tastes grass green, steak tastes royal blue, there is a name for this, I am a synesthete.

What's your weird thing?

Some people spell weird 'wierd'.
Freaks the bejesus out of me.

I associate numbers with sounds and remember them way too easily ( know my parents and some of my best friends credit cards and PINS)

I pet bumble bees. have done since I was a child. Never been stung. When you do it the back leg starts to twinge.

I don't drink tea. I don't think it's weird but anyone that finds out does.

ghogie91 · 09-12-2013 05:08PM

Mine has to be like total over doing/thinking things, kind of consume myself in topics or hobbies

As in if I get an idea I research it and go full steam ahead into it until I literally cannot find anymore information on it.

I dont know I have done it until I either have run out of anything else to search on it or when I have finished and someone points out that 'you have done it again'

Its kind of annoying that I litterally pull the good out of everything but as I said I only realise it when I have done it, dont sleep or anything

Character defect i believe its called

Apparently it's weird to put cheese in tomato soup. It's the most natural thing in the world! :P I mean it's a classic!

That's not weird, that's genius.

I don't take milk in tea. This is usually greeted with shock by people.

I get ASMR from people talking softly or brushing my hair. I call it 'human purrs'. Only one other person I know in real life gets it. If I've had a stressful day I'll pop in my earphones and listen to whisper vids on youtube, better than valium!

Edit: These things apparently replicate the sensation pretty well

Waitsian · 09-12-2013 05:18PM

I make cream cracker sandwiches using mature cheddar and peanut butter - yet to find anyone else who would even try it much less like it. Washed down with tea - MMMM!

Specialun · 09-12-2013 05:19PM

I dont like U2

I just think its noise and waffle combined to make a headache

I'd try it- I went through a phase of cheese and honey and mayo in sandwiches. Another classic ....

When someone brushes my hair I am so relaxed and happy. I'm going to make my boyfriend do it later. Been really stressed so its perfect

I love receiving parcels so I send myself about four items a week from Amazon

jimi Hendrix saw music as a colour puzzle and the guy who has the record for reciting pi see's pi as a color jigsaw...are you a genius by any chance?

I don't drink tea either. Gag reflex at the stuff.

But apparently I make a superb cup of tea for others, and have done for years

My weird thing that makes others recoil? On the same theme, I drink strong black coffee. Minimum 2 heaped spoons of Nescaf' per mug (when there's no real coffee/nothing better around). No milk, no sugar.

rovoagho · 09-12-2013 05:43PM

My thing.

gobnaitolunacy · 09-12-2013 05:46PM

I dunk choc chip cookies in strawberry yoghurt.

I used white pud as a pizza topping when I was running low on stuff in the fridge.

I like airplane food, cos it comes in little boxes.

Its not that unusual but a number of people have recoiled at it over the years, I eat the entire apple including core, the only bit I dont eat is the stalk.

I dont like showers so I usually have baths. Even if Im in a hurry Ill run a shallow bath rather than take a shower. If theres no other choice I will use a shower, like at the gym, but given a choice, always a bath.

So do I. The seeds have a nice taste to them.

The thought, sight or sound of submerged shipwrecks makes me feel physically ill.

Can't watch the bits of Titanic where they're exploring the actual ship.

Couldn't cope with the photos of them raising the Costa Concordia. I was literally nauseous.

Eoin247 · 09-12-2013 06:16PM

I sneeze when i think of something sexy

Dr. Kenneth Noisewater · 09-12-2013 06:17PM

I can lick my elbow.

In hindsight, thats more of a useless talent than anything.
