Things You Do That You Think No One Else Does

CastorTroy

When sleeping in a bed beside the wall, I always have to face away from the wall. Think it's from when I was a kid and having fear of suffocating.

Also to make people question the workings of my mind, when driving alongside bushes, at least when I used to be a backseat passenger, I used to think(Will put it in spoilers in case people are squeamish:)) a great way for gangsters to get information from people would be

to put the victim's arm out the window of the car so it's in the bushes while driving along.

When im walking down the path i try to get my right foot as close to the crack as possible, like am doing the long jump

After watching a movie, I would always pretend that I was a character from that movie and I would imagine the whole story again in my mind.

The first time I seen the original Star Wars trilogy, I watched them all in one sitting, I then went outside and looked for the perfect stick to replicate a lightsaber, not too heavy but not too light and brittle, I then pretended I was a Jedi for weeks or possibly months even years, heck I still do today and i'm 19.

Play football manager on the PC

I conduct interviews with myself at the bathroom mirror when I'm taking a break
Justifying team selections and transfer targets to my imaginary journalist

Bit like Jimmy Rabbitte in The Commitments

Can relate to ALOT of these, ones that I still do like try to get every foodtype on the fork before putting it in my mouth or the oldies like racing passing cars to imaginery finish lines, making the smudge on a car window dodge opstacles or squinting at lights to play with the beams.

One thing I always do that I rarely see is if I'm walking somewhere and there are berries growing on a bush or a tree (usually those inedible red yokes) I grab a handful and try to flick or throw them at select targets as I walk along.. Stop signs (more points for getting them in the 'O'), drainage grates, cans, bricks, anything really.

when reading a magazine i always start at the back page and work my way to the front ,dont ask me why

Whatsisname

When waiting for a notification on Facebook/Twitter, I always keep blinking almost as if I'm going to be surprised by the comments appearance?

When walking up the stairs or down the hall in the dark, I always have to keep looking behind me so I'm not attacked by some vengeful monster.

Whenever I hear this particular song, no matter where I am, I always do this sorta doggy paddle like movement with my hands and I have absolutely no idea why.

If I'm ever looking for something to eat, I always need to ask my dog whats her opinion.

If I score a late winner on Fifa, I celebrate almost as if it was a real life scenario, but to me, its a matter of life or death.

Before we had a dishwasher at home, when I was drying the cutlery, I use to pretend I was working in a really busy restaurant kitchen and the demand for clean cutlery was huge.

So i'd throw the dried cutlery into the drawer as fast as possible, with imaginary staff shouting at me "quickly, we need more forks!!" and i'd dry the forks asap. Ah yes....

Post on this thead, and secretly hope that someone thanks the post cos they do the same thing.

I used to pretend that there was a steering wheel on the back of my dads carseat and that I was a rally driver driving the car

When out drinking and go to the jacks and I'm the only one in there, I always look at myself in the mirror, smile and say "Jaysus I'm locked"

Make sure my toothbrush is wet, put toothpaste on it, wet it again with the toothpaste on it, then brush

Isn't that how everyone does it?

When I was younger, if there was anything left on the stairs I would have to skip that step when going up or down, sometimes I'd have to miss 2 steps in a row and jump over them. Sometimes I still do this when I'm home!

Sometimes I used to get changed for school before I went to bed so that I could sleep in and get up and go!

I have to have the TV volume on 13 when playing FIFA

If I'm watching a bad film I have to watch it to the end I can't turn it off.

Well friends of mine just take the brush, put toothpaste on it (maybe wet it then) and brush, they convinced me I was strange...

When asked to clean the blackboard in school, i used to leave that little bit of chalk on the board.
I know there were some in the class who couldnt stand that.

I'm a lefty, and never read magazines/newspapers backwards.

When I was younger I'd stare into the speakers of the old record player thinking there was a little band in there playing.

That was when I was around 22, I eventually realised how ridiculous it was, they could never fit in there.

I play a particular mind game when I'm bored or sometimes when I'm trying to get off to sleep. It involves a nine letter word, one of the letters must be e" and I make up as many words as possible (four letters plus) as I can.

Even when not drunk - when I'm alone in a jacks with a number of urinals I often try to use all of them in one visit. Takes a bit of bladder control but it ensures all the urinals get a piece of the action. Alternatively when there's a "wall type" urinal I like to piss along the entire length. This sometimes means having to move but often it can be done from a standing position.

When I'm going somewhere, I usually have my Ipod on.

When I get to my destination, I can't press 'pause' 'til the song I'm listening to ends.

That does prevent the song from getting stuck in your head

I don't eat any red sweets, when I eat dinner it's a specific order, veg, carbs, meat, never mixed on the same forkful. Even when I eat currys I'll hunt out all the veg first.

CastorTroy

Was down in the shops today and remembered something I did when younger, though I'm sure others did it as well. Trying to sneak up on automatic doors so they won't open.

Of course these days when you get up to them and they don't open, it can just be embarassing

username_x

pretending you're in a film when a meaningful song comes on in the car. No, just me? Okay then.

Catari Jaguar

Squint at lights/ candles so that they look like lasers.

Used to do it at mass when I was a kid to pass the time....

I'm right handed. I do this with everything except novels. I also read lists from the bottom up, even if it means scrolling down the page and then back up to read it all.

Yep. 'No Easy Way Out' from the Rocky soundtrack is the best for that!

If I ever get a bus and get one of those paper tickets, I have a habit of folding it and re-folding it repeatedly.

I make a smiley face out of them, sometimes stick them on a window or seat.

My sis says I've OCD but any number I see I add, minus, subtract to make ten, seat numbers, busses, regs, dates...really anything,
I can only stop reading a book on a page that makes ten, ie. page 82. 8+2

Oh n have to use last or first cubical in toilets and then stick to which ever one for the night

Sometimes when a song comes on on my ipod, depending on where I am, I'll pretend I'm filming the music video and look out the window looking depressed (especially when I'm in the car)


I'm such a loser.

crfcaio

Create music videos/movies in my head for every song I listen to.
And I'm always awesome in these movies.

IvySlayer

I do a lot of weird things as already written already.

- Imaginery bullet bouncing off things in the room.

- If I'm watching TV and I make something to eat/drink I will not eat/drink if there are ads on.

- When walking up/down stairs I MUST finish with my right foot.

- I can't relax in a room if there's a door open.

- When I'm on the phone I do laps of the house.

When I'm walking down the street or queuing or sitting on a bus or anywhere really Ill suddenly remember something embarrassing, doesn't matter if it happened yesterday or in senior infants in primary school but Ill involuntarily either suck in air sharply or else groan loudly or mutter ****/Fcuk/Cnut and people will turn around and look at me

When this happens to me, I say the word "chicken" out loud, as if that somehow negates the embarrassing memory.
All it does is make me appear like a nutcase to anyone who happens to hear me, who could not possibly be reading my mind and know my secret embarrassment.
But logic does not appear to matter in these situations.

When I'm eating my dinner I eat all the different portions separately . No mixing what so ever . Usually I'd save the meat till last . I do get some strange looks

When someone pisses me off and I can't eat the head off them/punch them, I will them to die in my mind. Glad it's never actually happened though.

If I'm driving and there's a near miss crash, or someone does something stupid in front of me, I think "what if they hit me?" and picture what I'd tell the judge in court.

When I'm walking on a footpath and there's traffic coming against me I'm always analysing it and thinking to myself what would I do if they turned and tried to hit me. Would it be better to try to run up the front and over the roof or try and dive out of the way. Its going to happen some day and I'll be ready...
