Quirky things you do...

Re: Quirky things you do...

I don't do the "tap", I reach in my pocket and see if I forgot anything. Probably shouldn't do that in public, though if I ever realize that I'm doing that in public and someone might be looking, I'll pull out my keys as if I meant to be reaching in my pocket to pull out the keys.

Though no matter what, I'll always have that "did I forget something" feeling, even if I'm literally waiting to go somewhere and have all the time beforehand to get stuff.

That's why I sometimes do the "if I go with nothing, will I be fine" game. If answer is no, I'll work my way backwards from there and make sure I got whatever I need before leaving.

I took obsess over checking my pockets for wallet, keys, and phone to the point I'm surprised my pants don't have my hand impression worn in on them lol

The TV volume and thermostat must always be on even numbers for me.

You put your volume up to 60+?

Re: Quirky things you do...

I double knock on walls in hallways and doorways. Walking and knock knock, quick low hip tap tap. I do it outside too. It is very strange, my late father used to do it all the time and I always noticed but never did it.

Now, I do it. Makes my wife crazy! So, I continue

Haha! I meant to say I keep them on even numbers, not that I keep them even.

Re: Quirky things you do...

I'm typically a guy who has to have the volume on my tv on a 5. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 etc. If that's not workable, an even number is a must.

In my car, the volume must be an even number with the exception of 13. 13 is ok. (Jason Voorhees reference)

I like my iPhone volume at 8 which is exactly halfway to max volume. Lol

Re: Quirky things you do...

I dont know why but I can deal with criticism better than praise.
I can just ignore criticism but high praise is awkward.
Inside, I'm like ''what do you want from me?''. I cant distinguish if thats a genuine heartfelt compliment and condescension. I dont know if its quirky or not but there it is.

I'm sort of the same. I deflect praise and I'm horrible at receiving gifts. Whether it is the greatest gift I've ever gotten or not, I feel like I'm putting on an obvious, awkward, fake display of excitement.

Maybe with the praise, I don't like someone thinking that I need their approval? Maybe it's just a bit embarrassing? I don't know.

Criticism? If it's just, fine, thank you. If not, go **** yourself. Much easier.

Re: Quirky things you do...

Right before I go into a store I always take my wallet out and check to make sure I have some cash on me. Even though I already know that I do because I just checked at home before I left there also.

Same here. High praise, especially in front of other people, makes me uncomfortable. Even if I know it's coming, I can't stand it. I just always feel like whatever it is, I'm not deserving of it...like it was a fluke or something way too simple and I'll get found out.

At least with criticism, it feels deserved most of the time. Or at least like I can take it and improve somehow.

Ha, similar. I get about a block or two away from the local coffee shop and I have to start getting my 2.25 out then. I can't do it in the drivethrough line. I have to have it done by the time I pull in.

Thermostat has to be 68. Or 72. There are absolutely no other acceptable numbers. None.

I'm the exact same way.
