Weird Habits

PitBull · December 2nd, 2009, 01:43 PM

Someone posted this morning asking what your guilty pleasures were. It got me wondering...What are some of your weird habits? I'll start off:

1) When turning off my car on a rainy day, I have to make sure my windshield wipers are in the off position. Otherwise it will drive me crazy if they are stopped in the middle of my windshield.

2) When playing solitaire I have to keep playing until I win a game.

I do everything counter clockwise, if there is a choice.

addy126 · December 2nd, 2009, 03:51 PM

On my work logs I will "never" end pre-numbering them on # 13. It will either be 12 or 14...... never page #13... ever.

Wife also has to turn the wipers off.

it feels weird for me to walk on the right side of someone....i have to be on the left....

rockingmtranch · December 2nd, 2009, 08:32 PM

Counting stuff. All the dang time counting stuff. Augh!

Ash · December 2nd, 2009, 08:37 PM

I am oddly addicted to Slurpees from 7-11. I get one for lunch 4 or 5 times a week all year round...

bdavison · December 2nd, 2009, 10:14 PM

Ive got a few.

Toolchest...sockets in perticular. They must all be in order with the size etchings facing out. Drives me crazy if they arent perfectly aligned straight and in the right order.

Dishes, bowls, glasses in the cupboard all upside down. So no dust settles in them.

Cut the tags out of all my shirts...I hate those itchy tags on the back of my neck.

backinthesaddleagain · December 2nd, 2009, 10:17 PM

used to see license plates, here in RI they for years have been mostly 2 letters followed by 3 numbers. I would often see a plate and think of a name that the 2 letters represented. So JS432 would be Jerry Seinfeld. Weird huh, finally broke it. I think it was an ocd issue.

I have this strange urge to ride a bike when I have three perfectly good cars in the garage.

I have this urge to chase party hostesses when I am married to this former swedish model. Oops thats not my habit its Tiger's.

Snake · December 3rd, 2009, 01:35 PM

Given the choice I eat left-overs before making onother meal otherwise I feel guilty that the left-overs will go to waste.

ninjabadger · December 3rd, 2009, 01:43 PM

When I'm driving I'm always unconsciously playing a game of "what model car is that." It probably an outgrowth of scanning for police cruisers and unmarkeds. My favorite is trying to determine what car is following me at night based solely on the headlight pattern in my rearview.

Me and my girlfriend do the same except with tail lights at night. GM makes me mad because chevy and GMC trucks are so damn alike!

mmmm left-overs....the best is pulling out everything from the week and having a bunch of stuff that doesn't seem to go well together on one plate...love it

ztrack157 · December 3rd, 2009, 04:16 PM

I pull eyebrow hairs out when stressed. Really easily to tell when midterms are coming.
GF refuses to use a microwave for any reason.

miks · December 3rd, 2009, 05:11 PM

Only use you my left hand to hold my girlfriend's hand, and my hand has to be on top. Seems to work.

emt250 · December 3rd, 2009, 10:04 PM

After locking the car door I always give the handle a little pull.

If I walk past oncoming people in a hallway or sidewalk, I always go to the right, seems like other people do this as well, I think everybody is being conditioned from driving.

that's how it's supposed to be...it's irritating when someone messes up the flow

I always have to double check any door I lock.

tapdiggy · December 4th, 2009, 08:02 AM

I am incapable of blowing my nose with my right hand despite being right-handed.

CloneA · December 5th, 2009, 09:57 AM

I HATE it when my food touches. Like my dinner plate has a few different things on it, they CAN NOT touch eachother. I dont like mixing foods either.

i've been doing this for over 15 years, nice to know i'm not the only one...

BlueRaven · December 5th, 2009, 10:29 AM

I get a 2 way remote car starter installed on all my vehicles with the pic of a car and a lock on the remote to see if I locked my doors. Otherwise i keep going to my vehicle to make sure it's locked even when the vehicle i have already came with a remote car starter factory installed.

Snake · December 5th, 2009, 10:29 AM

Before I leave the house I pat my pockets to make sure I have my keys and wallet. Kinda like the police pat you down.

About the same length of time here. I picked up most of my driving habits from my best friend who drove like fighter pilots flly -hypervigilant and aware of everything going on around the vehicle. Everything was a constant threat assessment, but in a very clinical sort of way. My favorite was something he said once: It's not the cop hiding up ahead that you need to worry about, It's the one that drives up the onramp and sneaks up on your six.

eddiekay · December 5th, 2009, 01:12 PM

When I cook something I wash the pots before I eat what I cooked.
My wife of 26 years has never sneezed more nor less than 5 times in my presence.
ALWAYS 5 times.
achoo-achoo-achoo-achoo-achoo

BlueRaven · December 5th, 2009, 01:14 PM

That talent comes in handy when something happens and you have to tell the police what kind of car it was. It helped me once when an idiot cut someone off and caused an accident that he wasn't aware.

I never tell someome "bless you" until the 2nd sneeze becuase for me and most people it's always more than just once.

I'm the same way about this. I have to hold my husbands hand with my left hand & mine has to be on bottom.

conchwanab · December 13th, 2009, 08:45 AM

CloneA I drive my wife out of her mind with the same thing!!I need those plates that have the seperate spaces!!And I've passed this on to my daughter to really make her nuts!!!!

I do something similar. I scratch my eyebrows, mostly my right, when I'm thinking or stressed. It's a bit bare on the inside of the brow now

I never even did it until one day at my grandparent's house I was sitting there not really thinking about doing it and by the time I left it was really messed up.

Delta107 · December 16th, 2009, 10:32 AM

With out reviling all of my crazy weird habits when im a passenger in a car I count telephone pole clinch my jaw left, right, left, and so on! It pisses me off when the telephone line ends on the left. It drives me insane.

Toilet paper has to dispense over the top not hang from the bottom.

I hate when their isn't a dog poop bag on the leash.
