    Plug out all devices in my flat before heading off to work.
    Kettle, toaster, TV, computer, everything


    Also all albums in my itunes must have cover art, so does every podcast.
    I can't stand to have something with no cover art and so if it means I have to fix my daily podcasts everyday then I'll do it
    Only takes a minute

    Sometimes when I can't sleep I try counting sheep, but my ADHD is a nightmare.
    One sheep, two sheep, dog, pig, old McDonald, Hey Macarena!

    Quick tip: Just turn off the power, it's faster and safer.

    If i nip the inside of my thighs i can make myself sneeze. it's weird. Sometimes i nip them in the wrong place and get a slight pain in my face?
    Are there any doctors on boards? Can they tell me if there is any connection between these body parts or was i just built wrong.

    Count peoples fingers when I first meet them.
    Saw a documentary as a kid about people with a genetic mutation, which causes them to have more/less fingers than the usual number and it freaked me out.M

    I always cough after eating ice cream.

    If I choke on something, e.g. a bit of food goes down the wrong way, I will always, always sneeze when the choking/coughing is over or almost over. Try coughing and sneezing at the same time :P
    To be fair, these are not just me, my sisters do the same.

    If I wake up in the middle of the night, I can't go back to sleep unless I completely soak my stomach with cold water.. Have no idea why, I can't lie in bed completely with the feeling of a dry stomach if I start thinking about not being able to sleep and then having a dry stomach? So I have to wet it and get myself comfortably stuck to the sheets and then I always fall straight into a nice deep sleep.. Definitely don't know anyone else who does that.

    Clearly popular with the ladies this one.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Things you do that you think no one else does:

    That when you're pi*ssed that you think you're going deaf and turn up the volume on the stereo (twice what it was when you're sober) and wonder why the neighbours have started banging on your floor (their ceiling)..

    I sneeze whenever i eat a mint sweet.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,810 ✭✭✭Calibos


    If I lightly rub the inside of my elbow I can feel a tingle on the side of my tongue. Its a similar thing to what another poster described. I think its something to do with some crossed neurons in the brain where the part of the brain controlling the arm is right beside the part controlling the tongue.

    Things other poeple do that they think no one else does?

    Picking the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 in the lotto. These people think they are awful clever. That they are some of the intellectual few that understand the laws of probability better than Seamus Blogs. That understand that the aforementioned number sequence has the exact same probability of being drawn as any other. They think that those that don't understand probability would never pick such an 'unlikely' sequence and thus chances are they won't have to share the jackpot should the numbers come up.

    The problem is that there are 2000 other such clever clogs that play those numbers every lotto draw. To rub salt into the wounds of these people when they win and find out they have to share the jackpot with 2000 other people, because the jackpot prize fund is ring fenced from the price fund for match 5 and down, it turns out that in all likelyhood they will win less money by getting 6 numbers in that draw than the people that only got 5 numbers! :D

    I get a runny nose when I eat spicy food.

    I always count the stairs going up, but never when I'm walking back down.

    I'm one of those avoiding-cracks-in-the-pavement people.

    When I'm eating my dinner, I always eat the vegetables first, then the meat, then the potatoes. They're rarely mixed. I also prefer if different food items don't touch each other either (except with curry, pasta etc).

    Eating apples is a methodical process as well.

    If I clean out my left ear with a cotton bud I start coughing and if I put it in a second time I start to gag and get the gawks

    once I was drinking cheap beer and the ring pull fell off as I was pouring it into the glass, big gulp later.. realised Id swallowed the ring pull, but oh no... it was stuck in my neck... tried to cough it up or swallow it down.. no go, then I got the feeling I was going to puke... made it to the toilet and puked a barrowload.. saw the rogue ringpull floating amidst my puke, fished it out and still have it on my keyring (after washing it) been careful of ringpulls ever since

  • Registered Users Posts: 621 ✭✭✭dave3004


    I act out spontaneous multiple character plays in the shower.

    I make short snippets of me playing piano and singing and send them to my whatsapp friends. I usually include their name in the song lyrics somewhere for humour purposes.

    When I do press ups, I pretend I am in the missionary position with the girl of my dreams so I try do as many as I can or else its over.

    I just realized because of this that I do the same bloody thing! :)

    As for the food thing - don't do that. You may as well not bother going to a nice restaurant otherwise! :)
