Strange habits

    I have to take a tea bag out of the cup using my fingers. Try to grab a corner sticking up out of the cup. Only a habit ive picked up in the last few weeks. If I cant get it the bag stays in the cup.

    I like to click the mouse buttons constantly, really fast.
    I'm always doing it with my 2 fingers. I always find a blank part in the screen when reading something, or when watching a movie etc and just clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick

    I do this constantly at work. If I'm reading an article and stop to think about something click, click, click, click. I actually annoy myself at times.

    I always have to make sure the kitchen counters are clean. The rest of the house can be a tip but the counters must be clean.

    I also put smarties/skittles/jelly tots into groups of their colours, eat them till there is the same ammount in each group and then eat one out of each group till they are all gone.

    This always happens to me. Not sure if its related to sleep....but sometimes i lose all strength in my hands. I try and do something easy like open a lid and they just won't do it. I feel like a baby. It lasts about 15-20 seconds and I actually like it. MAkes me laugh.

    Anyone else? I know its not a habit :o

    Cant believe no one mentioned the volume on the TV yet, always has to be an even number!

    I count the steps when I'm going up/down stairs, especially in familiar places for some reason.

    I hate wearing shoes in the house, and wearing a jacket when eating is an absolute no-no. So they all come off as soon as I get home.

    Nope, mines an odd number, and can't be a multiple of 5. So 1,3,7,9,11,13,17,19,21,23 etc!

    Do that too, used to be 13 steps, moved to a house with 14 and tripped up on a daily basis.

    If I ever get a new piece of technology like a game console or laptop or whatever, I can't use it until I unpack it, then put all the packing back neatly in the box, put the box away, and have a cup of tea beside me when I first turn it on, it's my little ritual :pac:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,973 ✭✭✭RayM


    Also cant beleive nobody said

    "I avoid the cracks on the ground"

    That's not a strange habit - everybody does it.

    Don't they?

    And meticulously go through all the bits, accessories and manuals to see what's there before turning it on.

    When talking on the phone I walk around the kitchen floor tiles like a knight on a chess board.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,223 ✭✭✭Michael D Not Higgins


    I'm a smoker so on my walk into work in the morning I always light up at the same spot so that I finish beside a particular bin. Sometimes I forget and remember when I get to the next set of traffic lights but if I light up there I'll get to the next bin.

    I blow into a glass before I pour liquid into it, even if it's straight from the dishwasher.

    I scratch my left bum cheek while brushing my teeth in rhythm.

    I used to do this all the time walking around my house! You've probably brought it back again now I'm scared to walk into the kitchen cause there are tiles in there :(

    When I was playing too much Assassin's Creed, I'd plan climbing routes up real buildings.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,981 ✭✭✭[-0-]


    I blink my right eye sometimes.

    What is your strangest habit?

    Mine is probably the fact that I often grab a small ice-pack and put it under the pillowcase before I go to bed. I tend to get very warm in the night, so it gives one of my pillows an instant-cold part, which I find nice indeed - was particularly handy in the recent heat-wave!

    Nice idea, I might use that one as I suffer from warm pillows as well. I even had a cool idea (pun intended) a long time back about creating a self-cooling pillow and was going to call it a chillow. Unfortunately someone already had that idea.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,047 ✭✭✭GerB40


    OP, that's genius! Mine is probably talking to myself while trying to solve unusual problems. My thought process is rather rapid, meaning that I essentially stare into space muttering seemingly unrelated sentence fragments, mostly along the lines of If I did this...but then he'd do that...and I forgot to factor in this...of course, that's it!...but that would never work...
    For some reason people say its disconcerting.
    Ha ha my friend does the exact same thing. It's gas when he's playin poker and he's on a tricky hand. He could sit there contemplating his next move and just blurt out "I have queen six" to himself. At first he didn't even realise he said it and we certainly weren't telling him. He copped on to it though and now he uses it as a double bluff kinda thing. The bástard..

    Sometimes when sending a work email I convince myself I sent it to the wrong person and have to check my sent folder. Whew, right person (even if the email is completely mundane).

    Most people do a wee whilst having a poo. I often do it the other way around.

    Better a seated piss than a standing shite, as my old ma used to say.

    Stay away from urinals then.
