Strange Habits

[knock]

This thread is for those behaviours that are normal for YOU but other people think are weird and mock you.

Here are four of my own:

1. I dry myself thoroughly after a shower. When I stayed in a houseshare my pal looked at me in shock when I came out the shower, saying "You're bone dry!" as if that was wrong. Well yes of course I am bone dry, I have just dried myself!

2. I am OCD about almost nothing except washing the dishes. I do the cutlery first, I steep them in hot soapy water for 10 minutes then wash with a cloth, putting them on the drainer to drip dry. When washing forks, I use a brush to clean between the prongs, then use a cloth as normal. After I've done a "soapy" wash, I rinse them in hot water, change the water, then move on to the glasses, and so on. I do not dry dishes, dishes rinsed in hot water dry themselves quickly and there are germs on dish towels.

3. I refuse to wear odd socks, and I refuse to wear clothing inside out. My ex breaks these rules on a frequent basis. She also failed to follow the dish washing routine laid out above. All part of our downfall.

4. My street forms a loop with the main road, I always go round the loop to make sure my car is pointing towards the main road:

I wouldn't sign you up to the loony bin quite yet. Drying yourself after a shower is standard surely

Can't eat food during the adverts, has to be while the programme is on.

I also push the toilet roll slightly up my bum to get in propa nice n clean after a shit.

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Your ex sounds cool.

Is what I thought, but I've noticed many people don't dry themselves quite as much. Like, going about with damp hair after a shower

I also push the toilet roll slightly up my bum to get in propa nice n clean after a shit.

I use those wet wipes and I polish about an inch inside until the wipes come away clean. I've managed to stop flushing myself out with syringes

Your ex sounds cool.

By implication I'm a fascist :D But yeah I reckon I have good taste in people.

 

[The Liberal Media]

Not me but Steve Jobs used to put his feet in the toilet and flush the thing.

Guess it takes that kind of thinking to be a "visionary"

 

[mydrugbuddy]

i m trying to keep my head down on here and keep a low profile as i want to avoid the piss continued being ripped of of me, hence not contibuting much to this, lets just say i do indeed have many strange habits.

ok, i'll give you the most boring one - i always wear my socks inside out, that way the seam does not rub uncomfortaby against your toes all day long. In theory that is the correct way to wear them IMO.

you sure he just didnt just flush the toilet with his feet/shoes, for hygeine reasons ?

ID But yeah I reckon I have good taste in people.

couldnt agree more

I understand the logic, but in practice I've never experienced any seam-rub discomfort :D Have you ever tried wearing the seam-side in?

 

[StoneHappyMonday]

Nah, just a bit anal. I'm sure we all do weird shit, tis all relative. I line shit up, not actual shit, things, OCD style. We love patterns, everything's a pattern, so we create our own patterns.

 

[The Liberal Media]

Nah, he actually put his feet in the bog and flushed

Of course this will never be mentioned in the new fangled biographies and the upcoming movie
Its documented in the book " The accidental Millionaire" by Lee Butcher

 

[Marmalade]

Your ex sounds cool.

^ This. I'll follow my own washing up regime, don't like it? GTFO

Do you consider yourself a 'nagger' knock? Doth thou nag?

Ha. No, I'm absolutely not a nag. When we lived together, once I'd worked out she was a filthy midden, I said I would do all the dish washing as I knew I was a bit weird about it. She didn't accept that. I never nagged her but I did frequently have to redo the dishes, at which she took great offence. Despite admitting she had poor vision and often missed bits.

On the other hand she was (still is) a dab hand at nagging. Stupid things though, like getting the car MOTd and taking the cat to the vet.

This fits in nicely with your Location :D

 

[jancrow]

Stop using wet wipes to clean your ringpiece. They don't dissolve and fuck up all the systems downstream from your lavvy, both mechanical and ecological.

I can't have knives or other sharp objects pointing at me.

hah! all the trivial stuff then

and she's an absolute dafty for not taking you up on the washing up offer, seriously mad. Unless you liked leaving them for days on end or summat and left em hanging around for ages. I'd much rather do a set job that I'm good at and like doing it and do in a particular way, than let someone else do a half-assed job of it. I take back my GTFO comment now that I know you offered to do it yourself all the time.

I use em but I put em in the bathroom bin, so there!

Wipe first with loo roll to get main poo removed tho, and that goes down thee loo, obv.

 

[mrcientist]

Concur with the thorough arse wiping.

I wear socks inside out, but roll the tops down slightly such that they aren't inside out. Anything else makes me feel like there's something in my shoe

 

[knock]

Oh yeah it probably didn't help that I can quite happily leave the dishes for three or four days then do them in a big batch. To me that is simply efficiency, she thought it was some kind of problem.

Anyway my cock was (presumably still is) always cleaner than her fanny.

Almost brothers in inside out socks arms mdb, you just need to try rolling the tops down!

Edit: wtf happened to my quote of mdb? Never mind, the point is clear :/

yeah, I thought there'd be more to it than that. no woman in her right mind would decline to accept a permanent holiday from doing the pots unless there was a catch.

She probably left the bits on the pots deliberately just to piss you off for not getting the pots done for a few days. I understand her frustration.

When masturbating, sometimes I like to press the soles of my feet together.

I know, she IS cool. Also a twat.
