Inspired by the wierd things your pet does thread this is a thread about wierd habits or other stuff like that about you.

Me, i sweat like nobodys buisness, and can only concentrate properly in utter silence. What about you?

I talk to myself and imagine myself in third person constantly. Literally everything I do is looked back in retrospect in third person.

I play Warhammer 40,000.

I blame victims.

If I'm eating one of those yoghurts where you add chocolate loops or chocolate coated cornflakes, I have to go through the chocolate bit and remove any pieces that show any imperfection.

I take pride in my farts and I always consider mine to have superior smell over others.

As sort of a stress management, I flip my tongue upside down (yes, completely) and bite on it.

I have yet to meet anyone that can do it like I can, pretty weird.

I have a constant twitching in my right hand...
Kinda annoying sometimes...

Whenever I come upstairs I have to close all the doors, don't know why it just bugs me.

Sometimes when i cant sleep i cant get the thoght of omething being open out of my head. Is the fridge open? has my brother left his paint pot open? have i? RRRARGH! Very often i have to get up and check, and jet I've never encountered something that was actually open...

I Talk to my car. Trying to coax just another few miles out of her thirsty fuel tank...I even do it with the significant other in the car.
"Come on babes, just a few more miles"
"Please please please start"
"Yes! I fething love you!"

Oh lord, I've got a lot.

I run obsessively.

Under sedation, I lick walls, swear like a trucker, rant and I am very open to suggestion. Oh, and it makes me strong. I noticed this after getting my wisdom teeth pulled.

Random muscles in my body, usually my biceps, start twitching randomly.

I read Obama's facebook posts.

I have long arguments in my head with anyone who appears in a newspaper that I'm reading... if I disagree with them.

I STILL sleep with my head under my covers, against a wall so I form a little cave...

When I'm doing something, I don't say, "I can do this", I say "We can do this."

I have no explanation for why this happens.

I named my calculator Sasha. When I get a car, I'm going to name her Natasha.

A lot.

Combined with my rather disheveled appearance, I imagine a lot of people who see me walking down the street assume I'm homeless.


...and I watch My Little Pony.

I don't get as much as you'd think...

I like adding Bovril to food to see how it tastes; 90% success rate.

I like to combine random food to see how it tastes; around a 70% success rate.

I randomly switch off and start straying into my thoughts, until one pops up reminding me that i'm daydreaming and to gtfo out of my head.

More when I think of them...

Oh yeh, i add ketchup to everything, dont really know why, but thinking about it, they are often dry foods that taste the best with ketchup.

That's not weird.

I can't be in a room with the door open. If it is open, I always imagine 'things' outside the door

I can't sleep in a room with the closet open. (when you wake up and see the closet open, and its pitch dark, even in your semi-light room, its wierd.) I blame horror movies etc

I wear my outdoor work gloves when I take out the trash/ recycling.

When I sleep, 9/10 times I will be continuing from what happened last few dreams. I make my own stories. Pretty in depth too.

I pretend my hand is a pistol and pull back the slide, slam in a mag, and release the slide at random times in the day. Most of the time I pretend to shoot it once or twice

Also, I try to think of my Halloween costume the day after Halloween. Its the one day of the year I can dress up and enjoy myself without being 'weird'

I still think being Rorschach was great fun. I was dancing at a party and someone knocked off my hat and whipped off my mask. Everything stopped, then two girls (99% sure who were drunk) both said "Look at his hair" and proceeded to touch my hair.
I ended up giving one of them my gloves because they really wanted them

Mr. Self Destruct wrote:I talk to myself and imagine myself in third person constantly. Literally everything I do is looked back in retrospect in third person.

I do this too. The third person thing came about because of sports, the talking to oneself due to being an only child.

I also mix grape Gatorade with vodka. It tastes like Dimetap, and reminds me of childhood. Also, no hangover.

I talk to myself all the time. Specially when doing something, it just starts rolling out. Also, the REALLY weird thing I do, is when playing RPGs like Elderscrolls for example, Ill make up a monologue about the character while playing, and if it doesnt mesh well with me, Ill delete the character and start the process all over

The only person who really listens to me is myself, and even then I sometimes ignore me.

Oh god, I do that too KC
I also do things even though only I will ever see them in rpgs. In oblivion, I made the Chorral house's dining table a replica of the table of madness in the shivering isles, and duped a bunch of w/e the evil tome in the Anvil house's basement, and hid them all over the world, with a skull watching each. One place was this cool burned down store, one was the island Fingleam was underneath, etc etc
In morrowind, I took the boat at Sadrith Mora as my home, and made tons of awesome things. A shrine to the bittercup, for example

I do a lot of stuff only I will see, especially with modding. I do it and then realise "hmmm, nobody else is ever going to see this..." and "I highly doubt any NPCs are scripted to recognise anything i've done..." and finally just become disheartened and wait for Oblivion to crash.

Avatar 720 wrote:I do a lot of stuff only I will see...

Don't we all.

Yea I do things like that in games as well. Who cares no one will see it, it immerses you into your character. Infact way back when Oblivion first came out, I had a 360 and when I got bored of it, I sold it all on Ebay. The person who won it, wrote me and said how excited she was (yea a female gamer!) to get it and play Oblivion when she had free time at her dorm (man...if I were single right?) So for kicks, I wrote her back and said Id leave a map in the box with info on which character to load and to follow the clues on the map I made to get her into the swing of how to play the game. The riddles ended up leading her to a clam shell in the water just outside the docks in the white city with a gak load of gold and such inside it.

She wrote me back later and told me she had a blast following the riddles. It made my month

I love Zoidberg, just throwing that out there.

I may be mistaken, but I believe Zoidberg is a lobster...

I thought Zoidberg was a lesser reflection of Cthulhu.

Let's see....

When holding my mouse, my middle Finger clicks every so often, without me meaning to.

I can't sleep with my closet closed.

I hold open doors for the ladies, even if it's totally out of my way/I hate them.

I mumble.

I stare STRAIGHT ahead, down a 70* angle, which unfortunately means I am "Staring" at a fair few people's bums.

But he has the squid mouth and he seems somewhat crazy.

I also hold doors open for the ladies. Sometimes for an unreasonable amount of time (walk to where you are going, THEN text!)

And slarg, why would you want your closet open

Battle Brother Lucifer wrote:I also hold doors open for the ladies. Sometimes for an unreasonable amount of time (walk to where you are going, THEN text!)

And slarg, why would you want your closet open

I agree with the unreasonable time; some ladies are halfway across the store, and I will hold the door open for them if I know they are heading through it.

When I was little, I saw a couple horror movies where something scary came out of the closet. I somehow convinced myself that "If the door isn't closed, they can't come creeping out of it." And after a couple weeks of sleeping like that, when I finally got over my fear of the Closet...... I was too used to sleeping like that, I never could change.

I also hold doors open (although I don't discriminate between men and women ) and it can take an awkwardly long time for the person i'm holding it for to reach the thing.

Then there's the 'let through a long stream of people, and yell "You're welcome." after them when you don't even get recognition, never mind a thanks'...

Sometimes I think it'd be better if I just trolled people and slammed the door at the last second; they'd be all too willing to recognise it when it flattens their nose.

Having the door held open for you is not a right, but people like to damn well behave like it is.

The only people who seem to have manners are older folk, although that's probably because barely anyone cares about them anymore; that said, I dislike the few elderly people who like to try and push the limits of the 'age card', and dismiss all the empty bus seats they've just walked past just so they can stroll up to me and stare, waiting for me to give up my seat; newsflash, walking past empty seats forfeits your moral right to guilt me out of mine.

I get j-pop songs stuck in my head.

I crack a smile when things get too difficult for me.

When I get mad, I start switching my languages mid-sentence from english to russian.

When I go to conventions without my fiancé, I sleep with a plushie in my arms.

I pace when I'm on the phone, and I'm a dedicated Miami Dolphins fan.

I scare people.
Usually without even trying. Without even thinking about it.
When I'm trying I cause terror.

I make people think Im crazy but in reality I am.

I mumble to myself

Talk to myself outload

Space out when people are talking to me (Just like Joey, just worse)

I love cleaning my ears with a.. What the hell is it called on english? Cotton Stick? No, i don't belive it has such a lame name... Hmm nevermind i think you guys know what i mean.

I ehh... I have a weird walk? I don't think so myself but people can see it's me even if i am far, far away just by my walk.

I can't stop myself from eating it if there is chips in arms reach!. My worst weakness...

I think that's it funny thread buddy. Keep it going!

I make references to popular pop music songs accidentally in casual conversation.

It's only really awkward when people get it.

When I talk to people I usually slowly make a cicle around them/ pace in a semi circular fashion if Im thinking about what Im saying a lot

Thats the worst, after that long stream of people, and nobody says thanks
To be honest, I hold it open for everybody, but 'holding it open for the ladies' sounds better

I say "bless you" to people who sneezes, even if I don't know them.

I make rhyme jokes out of people's names (What would Battle Brothet Lucifer be called if he was a cow? Cattle Brother Lucifer).

I am a word fascist. And despite this, there are words where I cannot accept the way they are pronounced.

I don't like mixing rice with Curry.

Thats about it really.

I click my fingers. It drives my sister insane, unfortunately.

I laughed so hard at this that I started crying and stopped breathing for a few seconds. I apologize if this offends you.

Which brings me to my oddities...

I stop breathing when I laugh really hard.

I have to do things in even numbers, ex. when I eat I have to take an even number of bites from what I'm eating. Each bite must be chewed on the opposite side of my mouth that the previous bite was chewed on ending on an equal number of chews for both sides. Any volume (tv, stereo) must be kept at an even number.

The dishwasher must be loaded in a very specific way or it really bothers me.

I talk to my truck and I have also named it Panfry.

I'm sure there's more but that's all I can think of right now.

I cannot even go downstairs here, I made the mistake of looking up horror dilm plots and now I am scaed that a monster is around the corner. I'm almost 16 for christsakes!

I can never sleep with the window open even a bit. if WWZ happens, I will NOT have zombies coming through my widnow.!

I love it when it rains, I am so vary happy when it rains for days.

I can not sleep without a clean room.

whenever I RP...egad this is embarrassing...I act it out. Many times my cousins have walked by my room (I keep the door open a lot) to see me jumping around with a cardboard bolter/lasgun/melta/flamer/plasma gun, making sound-effcts.

My car's name is Brunhilda. Oh silly Volvo...

I also realized I do something odd. I'll write up a post, and then delete it, citing that it's irrelevant bs most of the time. I've deleted entire 5 page Fluff posts because I thought it was slightly off.

I do that all the time chowder.

Good. I'm glad it's not only me.

me too. it is not only you.

Hey! it rhymes!

I do this too, but so does everyone likely.




When I want to think through something well, I kind of do so from roughly 3-6 different perspectives in the form of a conversation in my head. Fun thing is I don't know what the conclusion of these discussions will be, yet obviously I do at the same time cause the conclusion is reached.

The hard part is trying to keep unique perspectives and ideas in order to more thoroughly and swiftly reach the conclusion as they should all have the same perspective and ideas by default.

Chowder...how do you have a car? Aren't you 15 or something?

I talk to myself and argue with myself outloud. I even explain things to myself that I already know.

I love to go out in really heavy rain, but hate going out in drizzle.

Sometimes I forget what I'm talking about mid-sentance.

I pick my nails all the time.

I drum along to my music while sitting on a train or a bus even doing the double kick pedals.

There are probably a few more things too.

I whistle. A LOT. It made my classmates really, really annoyed... But I love to whistle... I can whistle in three different ways, even.

I bite the sides of my fingers - the bits next to my nails, I often end up bleeding without even realising Im doing anything...

I've got a good one- I sometimes spell weird wrong. Like in the title of this thread, I spell it wierd.

I tend to pluralize things when I speak "I'm goings to the stores", and occasionally while I'm typing aswell, even things that can't be pluralized. Ever.

If I touch something really hot or cold with my right hand or just any place on the right then I have to replicate the feeling on the opposite side or it will bother me for hours.

I tend to do things in odd numbers such as blowing my nose on 1 or 3 tissues, clicking my tongue at people 3 times in rapid succession, always clapping in multiples of five that end in five...

If I say something that seems really stupid, or something like that, I'll mutter it under my breath until it sounds right.

I have to pace while I'm on the phone unless I'm in a tightly enclosed environment(like a car).

Just like a few of you other guys, I can't sleep with my door open, but my closet has to be open.

Whenever I'm out in pitch black in the woods I always have to have a knife in my hand, if one is available. Too many horror movies when I was little... >_>

I always have an urge to switch tabs to something less "conspicuous" like a forum whenever someone walks past my computer(which is very often, as it faces the dining room where everyone works), even if I'm only doing something like Facebook.

As some others have said, I space out tons. I do let people know when I do it, because it's usually the kind of spacing out where you respond to everything they say, and then go, "wait, I didn't get any of that."

I tend to totally ignore the obvious and remember extreme details very well. For example, I was out riding my bike with a friend and we stopped by Subway for him to get a bite to eat, and I still remember precisely the color of the shirt of the guy sitting in front of the pizza shop, what he looked like, what jeans he was wearing, the fact that they were ripped, how many people walked into the Subway while we were there, as well as what color clothes THEY were wearing. Ten seconds after we left the place, when he started talking about the group of "gangstahs" that we passed right by(I guess?) I didn't know what he was talking about. I still am convinced that there was no group.

I have an absurd fear of bungies.

I do this as well.

I have random episodes where I think I'm a Velociraptor.

I find it impossible to have tiny things wrong with my surroundings, books slightly askew etc. yet I have no proble with big things like open doors or boxes out of place.

When I am out walking I like to imagine what the area I am walking through would look like after a nuclear apocalypse.

I can click my fingers just by bending them.

I prefer cold and rain to warm and sun.

Is this weird things we do naturally or on purpose?

I have a tendency to break out in song or to start speaking in random voices while at a work. I spent a week singing the Backson song from the new Winnie the Pooh movie. Now I have a song from MLP stuck in my head. I go around singing that...

i hang out with a insane lunatic who knows way more than he should.

i have a slight "chapstick addiction." then again i live in texas so...

if something happens,like say i finds a dollar,i will think really in depth about future events that it could cause,sometimes making up entire stories based around this event. i do it with lots of things.stuff i read,stuff i see,people i see,etc.

i still sword fight with my friends. real metal blades too. its caused lots of bruises and some bleeding

i prefer the heat,except when im in my room,then i have to have the fan on.

My wierdest thing is probably that I zone out in the middle of a sentence, I will literally stop halfway through a sentence, start staring into space, and someone will have to snap their fingers/nudge me before I will come back to reality and finish the sentence (if I can remember what I was talking about).

Speaking of oblivion/fallout etc, my biggest pet peeve with all the games is that the PC-homes aren't that great, they always lack at least 1/2 of the features you want in a PC home and cannot have the furniture customised, I always end up quitting on the games for no reason other than my PC home is not up to my standards

Everything should be done in prime numbers.

So, besides the above, I never really look where I'm going. Had an ex tell me that it was really disconcerting to see me deftly avoid objects on the sidewalk while never actually looking.

I can honestly say I am yet to find a mod that appeases me, they either make for a god-mode style PC home, or don't fit how I want it to look. My time is too precious atm to mod my own. What I really want is Fallout New Vegas, but when you choose a PC home you get taken to a Sims-style UI where you can build and place furniture etc, then once you are done go back into the normal game...

and don't feed them after midnight.

I talk to myself. Constantly...
I will only drink soft drinks through straws. I always have at least one straw on my person at anyone time.

Very subtle drop there

I LOVED THAT BOOK! '

I am obsessed with minihammering.

I even made a tiny-hammer RPG here on dakka, big success until WARORK's tanith blew up my garage...

If a lamp has a twist knob as i turn it off i have a vision of my house on fire and i turn the lamp on again and back off to properly seat the knob in the off position. If i miss i turn the knob anywhere from 2 to 7 times on/off/on/off.

I drum with my feet and fingers when thinking or just wasting time. Ive become rather good at it TBH

I have a lot of strange little habits, which I mainly attribute to my ADD:

My main problem is an extremely low boredom threshold, which leads to a lot of behaviour that some might consider odd. When I get bored (which is often), I tend to 'affectionately antagonise' people - touching/hugging them, singing to them (usually including the person's name), making up weird little nicknames for them, talking in strange/foreign accents (usually an Ulster accent), generally taking the piss. I am usually a total pain in the arse on long car journeys, so I usually take a book with me wherever I go. I often make outrageous/offensive statements. In fact, this goes some way towards explaining my posting habits here - I have difficulty focusing for long periods of time, so that allied to the other stuff means that most of my posts here are short and offensive/outrageous/sarcastic. When I'm bored I like to shake things up and see what happens.

Strangely, drinking alcohol seems to lessen it. Smoking pot makes it worse, though it does help me focus, which is surprising.

I'm also a check/re-checker. The worst thing is my alarm - I check and re-check it over and over again before going to sleep. I also check and re-check that I've locked doors, turned taps/gas off etc.

I talk and sing to myself, especially when performing manual tasks.

I hate talking on the phone. It often makes me extremely irritable.

I obsessively spray myself with deodourant/cologne during the day, as I am paranoid about body odour.

I hand-write in block capitals.



Yep, I'm a bit of a nightmare. I do usually make a big effort to be polite IRL though, as any Dakkanauts who have met me will attest to.


P.S. To further illustrate my focus problems, I had to have a short break in the middle of writing this post.

Oh, and KC? I do the drumming with my fingers thing too. I put that down to being a drummer for such a long time. It's actually a good way to practice patterns.

Sounds like you have an OCD alby, (I have one too)

thats short for 'Obsessive Compulsive Disorder'

I have ADHD, ie. bouncing off the walls a lot.

I somehow manage to turn off alarms while asleep, whether it be by pressing a button or unplugging the clock.

I make up little songs about everything.

I salivate excessively, and so I need to keep paper towels next to the bed and change my pillowcases frequently.

I paint and read with my glasses off even though if I held the item in question at the proper distance, i wouldn't need to. I just have to have them right in front of my face.

I obsessively pull out my nose hair. One of these days, I'll get all of them, I swear!

I drop F***-bombs with no consideration at all for anybody's delicate sensibilities. F***!!!

I drool in bed a lot too.

Any volume (tv, stereo) must be kept at an even number.

Ugh, blasphemer.

Everything should be done in prime numbers.

As stupid as this may make me sound...I can never remember what the prime numbers are. Never could in school, never can now.

Prime numbers greater than 11 are the bane of my life.

I have a deep disliking of candles. They're tricky little buggers, infernos waiting for happen; as soon as you turn your back they're strike and torch everything.

Every candle needs to be throroughly contained, never left unsupervised, and always lit with a long match, and even then i'll stare at it to make sure it doesn't wobble or try anything.

you know when you melt wax on a hot plate? like those scented candles? i like sticking toothpicks and the tip of my finger in the melted wax.

My main problem is an extremely low boredom threshold, which leads to a lot of behaviour that some might consider odd. When I get bored (which is often), I tend to 'affectionately antagonise' people - touching/hugging them, singing to them (usually including the person's name), making up weird little nicknames for them, talking in strange/foreign accents (usually an Ulster accent), generally taking the piss. I am usually a total pain in the arse on long car journeys, so I usually take a book with me wherever I go. I often make outrageous/offensive statements. In fact, this goes some way towards explaining my posting habits here - I have difficulty focusing for long periods of time, so that allied to the other stuff means that most of my posts here are short and offensive/outrageous/sarcastic. When I'm bored I like to shake things up and see what happens.

I do this too, now that I think about it, minus the singing, and plus compulsive smart phone usage.

I hate talking on the phone.

I also drum my fingers and feet.

I drool when I sleep.

I pick at the skin of my finger-tips when I'm bored, have caused them to bleed at points.

I like to make dialogues in my head about various things, creating characters and adding accents. Sometimes I say them out loud to entertain myself or others.

I doodle on my tests to jog my memory(computer tests and scantrons are my worst performances).

When I have the radio on, the volume has to be at increments of five. My taurus has a radio with circles and a square to represent 50% volume, I have to keep it at the square.

I like looking at pictures of dead bodies because I like to see how many possible ways people can be killed or mangled, and more importantly I like to see how people try to fix them.

I don't cry when watching war movies, but watching documentaries will bring a tear to my eye.

I've talked myself into believing that there are no such things as 'regular' shapes..... Spheres can't exist....

I was having a debate and realised with practically all shapes there will be a minute error on at least one length or angle if not them all...... As far as I'm concerned regular shapes and especially Spheres dont exist, False Spheres do and one day- due to the laws of probability the perfect sphere will exist. How sad is that?

Habit wise, I tend to tilt my head to the left when i'm thinking and right when i'm annoyed. I will never order a moche, as Im never satisfied with my pronounciation, even though its my favourite and I hate using 'thaw'- my accent destroys it. Oh and I won't eat a parmo in a burger bun.

i need to be ten minutes early for everything, its gotten so bad that i'm now twenty minutes early just so that i can be ten minutes early being ten minutes early

I fire arrows into a foam deer target whenever the "Lawn Patrol" comes around. They give you a "Lawn Fine", and if you don't fix your lawn, you don't get invited to the Tea Socials (That's what they call them. Idiots.)

They've stopped coming, but the target is still being shot at by me on the day where they used to "fine" my family. It's good practice.

Thats funny, so do I! It just pains me to turn it up or down to the volume that I need, instead I watch the number and place it at increments of 5 then listen to make sure it's loud enough or not.

...were the hell do you live? are lawn is always either dead or overgrown,and no one says anything to us.

I think about murder all day... murdering telemarketers. LEAVE ME IN PEACE!

Nah, but they are annoying. This kinda comment gets me weird stares.

I tend to make inappropriately timed comments, usually fairly dark ones.

I'd love to have the space and ability to fire arrows at something; as it stands, I can't afford the equipment or any club memberships I need. Being able to practice in my own time would be sweet.

I stare at chicks through aviators.

I also like to look at myself in a mirror. And smell myself.

I stare at you through aviators.

Mmm. That's what daddy likes.

I judge people from behind aviators.

@ Klimino: I live in Up-Mid class Suburbia. Just to give you an idea, the Lawn Police come in pastel colored dresses and hats like they're Jackie Kennedy.

@Avatar: That's why I love the states. 14th birthday, I got a 25 pound compound bow.

13th Birthday, I got a .243 Rifle.

im surprised they didnt scream at you for owning arrows. is it a private neighborhood or something? cause otherwise dont know how they could charge you. either way,keep shootin those arrows

I keep an emergency clown nose in my coat pocket.

I keep a pair of emergency pants in my backpack/briefcase/locker at all times.

I'm sometimes pretend to be an extremely patriotic American when playing online video games.

lol thats funny, I used to do something similar when I played MMOs but Id pretend to be a Brit that relocated to America because of my job. Id just make up gak and people would believe me ALL the time. Hilarious. Once I made a guild mate believe me because I typed out my accent WTF how stupid are people

For some reason, certain textures drive me crazy.

Terracotta pots?

GAME OVER MAN, GAME OVER!

For one, I hate ponies

I could go on and on about weird gak I do or own (I collect coconuts that have been carved to look like monkey's-for one)

I'm constantly staring off into the distamce offten getting in trouble with my fiance because she thinks I'm staing at a girl or something, and all my friends who see me do this all say they think I was a Vietnam vet in a past life as they all say I have the thousand yard stare. I am incredibly paranoid of helicopters, but not airplanes. I constantly wear sunglasses in public so nobody can see my eyes, for some reason it bugs the gak out of me If I make eye contact with someone I don't know. I laugh at the word Gumballs anytime I see it, hear it, or say it lol this is because of some mushrooms I took once a few years ago though.

Ok, this is easily top5 of the weirdest on here. Seriously? A terracotta pot?

I also hate the texture of terracotta pots, velvet and solid foam.

I dont do wierd things i am just normally wierd in my own way and proud... kinda the wierdest thing i do is not sharpen a pencil i just throw it away but thats not that wierd. now im just confusing myself.

i always wake up before something would wake me up. alarm going off soon? wake up groggy 2 minutes before it does. mom about to walk in? wake up 3 minutes before.

i think in that case you wouldn't be at home. well,if you were smart. if anything the space in between the houses would work fine.

I dunno, I just exist. I guess that counts as weird to some people...

When someone tells me smoking is bad for me I always gasp and act completely surprised.

I twist my beard. Im talking seriously addicted to beard twisting. Sometimes Ill trim it down to a length that I cant twist...just so I dont twist it anymore. Right now....1 hand typing, because of beard twisting. I guess those years as a beardless teen + home alone + internet really helped out for this though
