Your weirdest habits?

Post » Mon May 14, 2012 12:26 am

This. I do it with fridge doors, car doors, house doors, anything really.
You have a lock on your fridge?

I used to be a nail biter, but then after I had braces I had to have plastic retainers over my teeth all day for a year or so. I was really careful not to do it the rare times my retainers were off, and with that I managed to kick the habit. My nails are still pretty messed up though, years down the line - I used to bite them until there was nothing left and then bite the skin until it bled, and then sometimes keep going until it really really hurt...

What can I say? It's grim down south :P

Nah, I just meant that I have to keep going back to make sure it's closed.

I always smell if the glass is clean at home. Even though I just too it out of the washing machine, that I put on 50 minutes ago, and the glass is still hot.

Why? That's the weirdest think I've ever heard! Whenever I play I purposefully move things to my liking, sometimes just for a 'creepier' effect.
Why thank you, haha :laugh:

I don't know, it's just this thing I have where I feel as if moving things from where the developers originally placed them is "bad". Which completely goes against me being a modder anyway. However even with mods, I always try to change as little as possible, only add.

When I walk into my kitchen I never step on the door sill. While there is nothing bad there, it always feels like there are upside down spikes or something that would go thru the foot.
I have a similar behavior. In addition to not stepping on the door sill, if I'm walking down a hallway or something with tiled floor, I do my best to not step on the outline of the tiles, and only step in the center. Luckily, I'm not too obsessive about this, and if it'll make me look crazy if I do these things in public, then I have enough self control to just walk normal and ignore it.

I also do the locking-and-checking thing, but that seems less of a weird/obsessive-compulsive habit and more of a practical behavior. It's smart to check!

Another one I have is that if I see something hanging half-way off of a table or other flat surface, I'll be bothered by it until I'm away from it or until I'm able to slide it fully onto that surface so none of it is hanging off. I also have a ton of other habits like these, but I could never remember them all.

The only normal habit I have is that I crack my knuckles. But then, I also crack my neck, wrists, elbows, ankles, toes, and knees. I don't consider it a bad habit.

Good target acquisition in games, so for example Ill know which target is the bigger threat go for him then work my way down. Its really effective for sniping in tf2.
I also put my braces on my lips and rip the skin.

- I always check every inch of the shower and shower curtain for spiders before I use it.
- I always set my alarm clock to random times (like 7:12 or 7:26) but it's always an even number. Same thing with the microwave.
- When I'm really tired, I tend to run my fingers through my hair a lot.
- I sometimes pick at my cuticles when I'm deep in thought.
- I've recently developed a bad habit of falling asleep on the couch with the TV on.
- I seem to sleep with one or both of my arms extended above my head, which makes my shoulders hurt during the day. I try to correct it, even sleeping with my arms underneath me, but I always end up like that when I wake up in the morning.

When I'm in my bed, I lie on my left side but ultimately turn to my right side when I want to sleep.

I do the exact opposite, when I'm laying in bed I lay on my right side and then turn to my left when I want to sleep.

I do that too, except the exact opposite; lie on my right, turn on my left.

Something weird I do, is in Fallout 3/New Vegas whenever I killed a Human enemy that either really pissed me off/was a problem to kill/I just didn't like, I would get their corpse and put it in sixual positions with other corpses just to put them to shame in death. :3

I smashed their heads, myself. I figured, "if I survive a bullet to the head, anyone can. Better remove their heads".

Okay, heres a weirder one.

Whenever I purchase a new video game, I make sure my room is clean. It stems back from my mother holding a new video game she bought me hostage until my room is clean. It was her way of telling me that she still had power over every little aspect of my enjoyment.
Fast forward a decade and a half, and I find that a messy room is kind of distracting when you're trying to relax because you know theres work to be done.

Okay that doesn't sound so weird now.

I always check for snakes under the toilet seat.

Even though i live in scotland which i believe only has Grass snakes and adders, which ive never seen either of. And i dont even know if snakes would hide under toilet seats.
But im not taking any chances...

This payed off one time in which i seen a frog in the toilet before i sat down. Not quite sure how it got there,must have came up the pipes.
But i dont really know how i developed this habit.

I have to check my pillows before I go to bed almost every night to make sure I don't have an unexpected visitor :shakehead:

I always take out my shirt whenever I go in a bathroom. I always check for signs of weight gain or flab. And I always chest flex to see if I gained less or more muscle.

My body is "ungodly" so I have to check it alot. I'm not fat, but not entirely ripped.

Other weird habits is randomely trying to do a dance move or grinding. Whenever I do physical exercise at home, I always dance like I am grinding on someone haha. Don't know why, but I guess having a good workout reminds me of the rewards I will get.

When you explain it, it doesn't sound too bizarre. I have something similar: whenever I walk into a room, I'll clean, straighten or clear away something, even if it's just dusting a shelf, righting a chair or removing a mug. It prevents chore pile-up.

Oh yeah, I crack myself a lot. Especially the knuckles and the toes, but other parts too.

I do this, but the opposite. When I read or play on the DS I'm on the right side and can look out thru the bedroom door or the window, and when I want to sleep I turn myself so I have nothing but a wall infront of me.

Whenever I lock a door, I try to open it just to make sure if I really locked it.

I do this a lot. Sometimes I lock a door, and walk away and forget I lock it because it is such a habit.
If I'm listening to music I find it hard not to play along on assorted air instruments.

I play the drums on my Chevy Blazer's steering wheel, sometimes while driving. :tongue:

My biggest OCD: Numbered volume can't be on an odd number except for a 5, so I like volume in intervals of 5 or even numbers. For example, If the volume was 19 on the TV, I would put it down to 18 or up to 20. It it was 23, down to 22 or 24 or 25.
