Quirky things you do...

Re: Quirky things you do...

When I cook something in the microwave, I usually take it out before it hits 0:00 because I don't like to hear it beep. (the same thing if I have the timer set for something in the oven)

When I get out of my car , as I walk into a building , I look back several times at my car to make sure my lights dont stay on (even though they automatically turn off) and I look at the driver side door to make sure it doesn't look like its proped open so the overhead lights don't stay on and run out the battery. I am always paranoid about my battery dying on me...

If I am driving down the road and I have a thought that bothers me, I turn down my music and verbalize the thought just to get it out of my system.

I tell myself jokes out loud while I am driving too and I will bust out laughing. LMAO!!

Expiration dates. If it's even remotely close to the day or the day of, keep it away from me.

I get so nervous having dinner at my mother-in-law's house sometimes because she always has out-of-date food. My wife always has to check out what we are having when we go there to make sure it isn't expired.

Last month we were there for dinner having burgers and the ketchup on the table was expired. Wife had to get me a new bottle from the fridge. I'm one of those "if I eat it on the day it expires, it will make me sick and kill me" kind of guys.

I second this one, only I go so far as to not eat/drink things (especially milk) within two days of the expiration date.

When brushing my teeth, I always have to finish on the right side of my mouth

And after showering, my hair has to be completely dry before I even step out of the shower (ie shower's off, but I'm still in there drying my hair.), those are probably the strangest things I do.

- Any numerical settings need to end with 5 or 0, but should end in 0 as much as possible.

- Money in my wallet needs to be all facing the same way, and in order of value smallest to largest from the inside.

- Things put in the cabinets/refrigerator need to be label out. (This came from being a night stock associate in a grocery store I think.)

- Light switches need to be in the down position when the light is off. (If you have two-way, three-way, etc switches it can cause the switches to be in the up position when off by turning the light on at one switch and off at another.)

Re: Quirky things you do...

I do the last 3 on that list. I fail to see in what world it is alright in that a light switch in the up position can be considered off.

Re: Quirky things you do...

I stare at lights when I'm thinking about something. Been doing that ever since I was little apparently.

Re: Quirky things you do...

My little sister would bang her head face first into the pillow continuously while trying to fall asleep when she was very little. Its was the oddest thing ever, but I hear its not all that uncommon.

Just thinking about the visual makes me laugh. She claims she's grown out of it...but I doubt it.

Re: Quirky things you do...

- This might sound extremely weird, BUT I'll say it anyway. I usually always put my TV volume at 18 because of Peyton Manning(don't remember when I started this LOL). Also, I never put it on 12 because that's Brady's number. Although Luck's number is 12 so now I'm kind of screwed there.

- I check my alarm on my phone multiple times before going to sleep to make sure it's correct.

- Everytime I close my garage door I wait and watch it close before leaving/going back in the house.

- My favorite number is 4 and a lot of times when I do things I have to do it 4 times. No seriously weird stuff, but for example if I'm walking down the hall and I tap my hand on the wall I make sure to touch it 3 more times to equal 4.

- I never mix match my food, as in I eat everything one at a time.

- When I play FPS' video games, I always wash my hands before playing and wash my controller because I feel like it gives me a better grip on the controller and will allow me to play better(even though I know it doesn't).

Can't really think of any more right now.

EDIT: Thought of one more. This might be the weirdest thing I do. Whenever I'm watching TV before I go to sleep, before I shut it off I ALWAYS have to shut it off to where the last image I see is something good I guess I should say. Really just as long as the image isn't something bad. I don't know, it's hard to explain. If there's a commercial on that I hate I'll wait to see something I like before I shut it off. It's really weird. I guess I'm just afraid of having bad dreams since that's the last image I see before sleeping.

Suggestion: watch porn before going to sleep. Well, maybe not certain kinds if it has to be a good image, but yeah.....

My toilet paper has to come off the top. Never from the bottom.

Re: Quirky things you do...

Whenever I'm driving long distances I like to do calculations with how far I've gone, how far I need to go, and what kind of pace I'm on in accordance with what my ETA should be. So if I'm 380 miles from San Francisco and driving 75 MPH and then I see a sign twenty minutes later that says I'm 354 miles away and now driving 80 MPH, I'll consider whether I'm making good time under some intense in-my-head math (which kills a considerable amount of time lol).

I do this kind of stuff, too. I'm a big math geek I guess and am constantly just solving different math problems in my head when I get bored.

And I always have my TV volume on an even number.

I always put the Air Conditioner on before I go to sleep. It doesn't matter if its 30 below it will still go on. The noise lulls me to sleep

Whenever I am shooting free throws, I dribble 3 times and roll the ball in the air before shooting.

Re: Quirky things you do...

I see numbers as patterns/designs that evoke certain emotions and have unique physical qualities. Many times, I'll look around at things, then find a way to make a math problem out of what I see. Usually the answers has to equal zero, so let's say I see a 26 and three 23s of something on opposite sides. 26 - (23+3) is 0.

Hell, even when I listen to music, I'm always counting the measures as they go by and how the vocals fit the music.

Also, I really enjoy watching people talk/communicate. It just fascinates me; it's like free TV.

Re: Quirky things you do...

Have a fan aimed directly at my face when I sleep. I love the noise it makes. Sounds like I'm laying in a breeze. I cannot go to sleep without some sort of white noise. Whether it be a fan or the TV low. Laying in complete silence is like torture.

Also, I do this weird thing with where I pop (snap) the skin in between my fingers. Really strange.

same with me....i like to look at the license plate on.the car ahead of me and work out the numbers and make a "solution".

say i get 7321 this leads to 7*3 = 21 or 7-1 = 3*2

3563 becomes (3*5) ÷ 6...remainder is 3

or 3÷3 = 6-5

entertainment on the road....

Re: Quirky things you do...

I find that I chew on my shirt collar (t shirt only) when im laying down on my back and watching tv or on a laptop.

Similar thing with headphone strings, and pens. its not like chew with force like Im eating a tough piece of jerky. more like a teething toddler. They call it an oral fixation.
