    What weird things happen to you that prob don't happen to anyone else?

    For me...whenever I eat an apple part of my gum bleeds at the top and I always see a bit of blood on the apple...a few tiny bits...always stops after the third bite though and only happens with apples!!! :eek:

    How about you?

    Sorry but you're not unique and they do happen to other people

    Ah yes, the blood apple issue, former sufferer myself.

    Weird things that happen to me and not others? When I feel up Angelina Jolie she gets pissed but when Brad Pitt does it it's "ok".

    All the weird **** that happens to me is unique to me,;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,058 ✭✭✭✭Abi


    Well its rare enough, but I get random nose-bleeds every now and again. It was far more frequent as a child, but only happened in the summer.

    P.s. Happens to me too. Only take small bites from apples, that seems to sort it out.

    I molt (sp) like a snake twice a year. My skin peels back from my face and scalp, you can actually lift it back like a scene from V

    its quite strange, possibly not unique

    Had a motorcycle with a broken "petrol is low" warning light once. Generally I'd see the gauge needle on the low side and remember to tank up. But sometimes I'd forget and head off to/back from work.

    When the bike ran out of petrol it'd splutter for about half a mile or so then the engine would cut out completely and you'd roll to a stop in a few hundred yards.

    I ran out of petrol 7 times on that bike and each of those 7 times I rolled onto a garage forecourt!

    I got a maths expert to figure out the chances of that happening (given mileages to work, garage frequency on my commute route, etc) and he reckoned chances less than 1 in a zillionth of a zillion (or some such Very Large Number)

    I keep stumbling across stupid threads... Sorry...

    If someone gets a slap in the head or an electric shock..I get a big mad shiver through my head and then down my body. I have a weird nervous system (That also doesn't allow me to touch ice lolly sticks)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭Slidey


    I 'went down' on a new gf at the time and got a random nose bleed when I was down there.

    I was waiting for someone to say that.


    My right index finger has some sort of extra bone in it that clicks and wiggles when I bend it. Pretty sure I'm alone on that one...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    I get this horrible weird thing whenever I go to the barbers...

    You know when they get that razor type thing to shave round the back and sides of your head? Whenever the barber uses that, I get a proper shock/shiver right down my spine.. a really sharp pain, I physically twinge (And have to try and hide it)

    I really don't know what it is :/

    Ehhh....that's not some cute quirky little thing you've got going on there, that's pretty much a classic sign of gum disease or at the very least unhealthy gums, and the "it only happens with apples, go figure!" thing is because apples are kinda hard and, you know, white, so blood shows up on them.

    Anyhoo, I have a lucky number, 23, and I see it so often it's freaky, I even won $180 when I put $5 bet on it on Roulette in Vegas. It comes up on flight numbers, assigned seats in planes, assigned Airport Gates, fortune cookies, addresses of places I've worked, it's weird.

    It's linked to my dead grandmother, like to think it keeps me safe :)

    *sits back and waits for the fine people of AH to ruin this for me in some harsh harsh way*

    Of course he is! Everyone is unique.

    My thought trains are extremely unpredictable and random. I always end up thinking 'I wonder who else if thinking this at this time?'

    That's bound not to be unique, but its pretty weird to me, and I couldn't think of anything else better to say...

    Actually, when I'm writing things down really fast (writing not typing) I always throw in wrong letters or if i'm writing 'or' and the nest word begins with an 'f' I'll end up writing 'of'.
    Thats probably not unique either, but meh. It's not dyslexia, because it only starting happening recently, unless dyslexia strikes at random points in peoples life.

    Woah, EndRant sorry!:pac:

    parts of my arms and legs will go stone cold, for example my wrist to my elbow on the outside of the arm will go cold or one part of my leg. Its happened since i was a child.

    It will be stone cold to the touch, bloody painful also. Never happened though when sitting with a doctor though.

    Everytime I sit in my sisters car and get out I immediately earth and get a fair old static shock. I have taken to closing the car door by either touching it with a sleeve if in a jumper or else the glass of the window to avoid shocks. Also when I was on holidays in the US last year I kept getting them. I really don't know why put I am very prone to static shocks! You should see me handling RAM I am fairly nervous as one shock and its down the tubes for the ram sticks. I usually ground myself of a radiator pipe first.

    Birds also like to take aim on my head!

    Got hit by a train and walked away from it.

    The hit by a train part has happened to a lot of people
    The walking away part, not so much.

    Not much of a maths expert if he used the term "zillion"

    Anytime I take a sip of coke or any other fizzy drink, I get a huge & pretty violent hiccup that makes me almost choke if I drink a few sips in successsion. No matter how small or large the sip is. It's fierce annoying. Doesn't happen with beer.

    Walked into Rathmines post office (the one that had the knitting shop at the back) a few years ago and a robbery takes place. Only problem was it looked like they were all acting. Followed the guy out of the shop but lost him. Went back to the PO and the place was full of guards - at least 25 cops. Then had to go to the station to make a statement and suddenly realised that it wasn't a robbery but some kind of set up/training exercise/movie set experience. Had to play along with the whole thing as if it was real. This definitely has never happened to anyone else :p
