One person's norm is another person's weird

This Fat Girl Runs

I don't have (or want) a television or a microwave which seems to shock most people when they hear it; they think it's weird.

What's your norm that people find weird?

When I open a new jar of mayonnaise, I often eat a spoonful. My wife thinks it's weird. But...it's Hellman's...it's just so damn good.

- Don't drink tea
-If I'm ordering at a deli it'll always be a white roll, with all the dough scooped out, and just mushrooms on it.
-I mush my dinner together so it's puréed. If I absolutely have to, (when I'm eating in public or at someone else's house) I won't do it but I don't enjoy it.
It will be completely smoothed over, with proper lines made with the fork going down and across and I'll eat it with a teaspoon.
- I only leave my toast in the toaster for 23 seconds. It should be still white, but not soft and fluffy. Butter it when it's cold.
- I only eat fruit when I'm hungover. It's literally the only time of the week I eat healthy.
- sometimes I feel like I can predict awful things that happen to me. I can't obviously, but I def think I've the ability to jinx myself. I remember once when I was driving, was speeding along a quiet road thinking to myself, wouldn't it suck now if I met the guards. About 5 mins later, in my rear view mirror, there's a guard behind me on a motorbike.
It's happened so many times that now when I think something bad it makes me panic because I feel like if I think about it too much I'll make it happen.
I know it sounds ridiculous but, I'm a paranoid foo'

I'm a night owl and I think my body clock runs on a 25-26 hour cycle rather than 24.

If I'm not working and don't have a fixed schedule to stick to I'll gradually go to bed later and later until eventually I'll just end up skipping a night's sleep altogether.

I'll try the sleepless night if you eat a spoon of mayonnaise? By the way, that's a table spoon.

We'll then compare what it was like to walk in the others shoes!

Done deal!

I use the squeezy bottles though, so I'll have to estimate a tablespoon-sized squeeze :pac:

If I don't set my alarm on a Saturday morning I could easily sleep until 5pm even though I went to bed at 10pm Friday night!!!!

I don't eat butter,

I enjoy living in Dublin.

Trying to explain to people back home in Donegal that I actually like living in Dublin gets me a few strange looks. You'd think I was living in Syria or something.

I've won money on it. Pub talk, "I'd suck down those sachets of mayonnaise/Bet you wouldn't" variety. Have never collected, it'd be like taking candy from a baby taking money for something I like...

What sort of wimps wouldn't eat mayonnaise to win money?

Your friends need to up their game Conor74!

Not randomly no, but people talk about what's on tv a lot so when they ask 'Did you see that advert/show/episode?'' I can't say I did. Seeing as how I don't have a tv. You know.

So what's the story about the microwave?

It's too easy to collect. I can't say it happened often, we usually have better conversations...but when there's a lull...mayonnaise looks tempting...

I don't have either myself. I do watch things on my pc though which would otherwise be on tv eg sport or episodic dramas. I don't have anything against microwaved food per se, just never owned one.

When I used smoke id rarely have much when I was drinking

But if I was out and not drinking I used smoke like a train

AMKC

I don,t wear a pajamas to bed unless its really cold like -6 or more

CollyFlower

I smoke real cigarettes..

MadDog76

I refuse to wear anything other than boxer shorts and a t-shirt when at home, within 10 seconds of closing the front door I'll strip off and I won't put any clothes back on until just before I leave the house .......... not that weird (I think?) but it upsets my wife when we have visitors etc.

Also, I can only ever sleep on one hard pillow and no duvet regardless of the temperature/time of year.

Miss Demeanour

Not sure if these are weird but....................
I can't eat a sausage unless I cut it length ways and scoop the hard bits out first.
Also I can't eat a sandwich etc unless I clean up the mess first.
Also if I buy a sandwich in a shop and see it being made, I still have to take it apart to check it before I eat it.
I hate the inside pips of tomatoes too....normally scoop them out.
Last one I think.....if I accidentally put a bit of eggshell in my mouth I get sick.
So yeah.....as I said....prob not weird at all

Do people still think boiled sausages are weird??

Yes, because it looks like you're eating soft mickeys. :P
