Re: Quirky things you do...

So what are some of your quirks?

For me, the temperature or volume in my car must be on an even number. This also holds true for volume of TV's in the house too.

So I am not the only one. Now I will take this one step futher. I have a higharchy; multiples of 5 and even numbers > odd numbers but it must always be lounder not quiter. So if say I have my stereo turned up to 14 I will move it to 15, but if it is at 16 then it stays at 16. If it is at 17 then must be turned up to 18, etc...

There is definately something wrong with me.

You all are a bunch of weirdos...

I have a couple of weird food related quirks. I eat multi-colored candy like M&M's one color at a time, starting with my least favorite color and moving to my favorite color. Also if I'm eating pizza or something in slices, I eat from smallest piece to largest.

Re: Quirky things you do...

I do a lot of these also so I won't restate those. I do have a few others though.

- After I burp, sneeze or fart I always say "excuse me" even when I by myself.

- I always take my shoes off and drive with my socks on. Even when I'm in the car with my clients. They make fun of me about it all the time.

- When I'm watching TV, I have no problem sitting on the couch. However, when I play a video game at my crib, I have to be lying on the floor, against the couch with a pillow to prop my head up.

Just a few off the top of my head. I'm sure ill think of more later.

When Im walking in the mall aimlessly, I break out in spontaneous coreographed dance numbers. Dozens of other people usually join in the same dance rouitine. Then observers look in astonishment and take video to which they upload online and becomes viral. Thats a normal saturday for me.

Weird... I have the same hang-up. EDIT: After more reading I see this is fairly common. Still odd.

-I keep all of the receipts to my video games in their cases along with the manual.

I do that too.

As do I. Separated at birth?

Re: Quirky things you do...

Some of these are very interesting and funny (no offense)

I must watch all DVD's with subtitles (I have this fear that I miss something important).

My electronics have to be organized perfectly, games, wires, controllers, etc have to be in a specific way and placed back after each use (my relatives call me names about this one).

I never split a pole when walking with another person; I either step in front or step back behind them.

If someones foot hits mine, someone steps on my shoe, or vice versa I have to shake that persons hand (a superstition that if I don't that person and I will become enemies, and it freaks people out when I shake there hand and explain why, lol).

Re: Quirky things you do...

I actually just started the reciept thing in my games a few months ago. Seems much more tidy and organized that way. I don't have it in my wallet, and I don't have to fish for it if I need it.

Re: Quirky things you do...

When reading articles online (or OS threads, etc.) I have this quirk of tapping the left and right keypads a whole bunch, shifting the lettering all of the time. That or I'll double- and triple-click text and highlight it for no apparent reason other than to do it.

The former quirk becomes a problem when reading articles on Kotaku (among other sites) because pressing left and right changes the article you're reading. The latter quirk is problematic when things like keywords become links or definitions when you highlight them on some sites, etc.

Re: Quirky things you do...

I highlight text that I'm reading on a computer screen line by line (or sometimes a few words at a time)


I also count steps a lot

Re: Quirky things you do...

Funny you mention this actually, I don't necessarily count steps but if I'm climbing or going down stairs I will engrave in my head (if I used them a lot) whether the number of steps is even- or odd-numbered. So if I'm skipping every other step on a staircase (which I do commonly) and there is an odd number of steps, I will start on the first step instead of skipping it so I can end up skipping the last step.

I also tend to not "step on cracks" while walking if the sidewalk tiles are large enough so that I'm not walking too awkwardly.

Re: Quirky things you do...

I write essays about almost every single movie I have ever watched.

I agree, that is a quirk of yours.

There now, at least it's more informative than someone who just reaches the ten character threshold by only typing "Fast Five."
