Quirky Human Behaviors

Post » Sat Oct 08, 2011 3:57 pm

Alright, first let me explain. One of the things that often fascinates me is the everyday behavior of my fellow humans. I don't mean outlandish or extreme behaviors, but the behaviors that many of us do without thinking about it, especially when it is behaviors that we usually developed entirely on our own without being taught by another. Whether this is because the topic is of a sensitive or embarrasing nature, or simply it is seemingly so minor that many of us never give it a second thought.

I will sometimes conduct these polls with friends and they always find them amusing, so I thought I would share one here. You might be surprised how many people experience or do certain things similarly even though its not something you usually are taught.

Please feel free to participate in the poll, even if you don't choose to comment your answers. I know some people will find the subject matter embarrassing are perhaps even 'disgusting', but its all in good fun.

As to these 3 questions. They pretty much came up in random discussions...(yes, sometimes topics do actually stray into these areas), and we started asking our friends these questions and was amazed by the answers.

1) The first question was because of myself. I always shut the bathroom door before going to the bathroom. Even if no one is home. It was never a conscious thing to me, until it was pointed out to me after nearly 30 years by the wife, who doesn't seem to care if the door is open or shut(in acceptable company at least)
2) The second question is one that she asked me and it shocked me that someone else knew about it. We have found over half of people experience these sudden full-body shakes when they either first start to pee, or immediately after stopping.
3) Lastly, this again came up in an odd conversation. Do you sit or stand when wiping? We haven't polled many people on this one, so I am interested in seeing the percentages.

Please try to keep this in the spirit is intended... A humorous and eye-opening snapshot into simple human behaviors.

1. Your answers lack middle ground of "rarely" and so forth.
2. Your wiping question... besides sitting or standing what other possibility is there? (levitate?) Or what if someone doesn't sit while going #2?

Just fulfilling my need to poke at every poll for not ever being satisfactory to me...

Ok, I fixed #1 to give it a middle ground option. The other two pretty much have to be one of those. I left the Other option there, just in case I get anything I might not have encountered or thought of before. Of course, I am hoping those will comment.

I pee with the door open most of the time, even if there are people around. Why? Too lazy to close it.
