Can we have a fun thread now? Stuff you do that's weird

Spending my off hours working cases that don't fall to me....i.e. working sex crimes instead of terror/espionage, for free, instead of going out partying/relaxing/family/ect.

It just grabs me by the balls and has me locked on the computer, or hitting the streets.


I should get off BL before I embarrass meself more.
 
i watch "sex and the city" over and over even tho i probably have seen every one atleast 10 times to help me sleep

i watch any film i like over and over til i am sick of it then i watch it with the commentry

i am scared to death of anything that bangs.....i cannot be in a room with balloons

i hate mashed potato's but when i eat a baked potato i mash it up

i will only eat cheese if it is melted and i wont eat anything else dairy.

i dont like tinned foods.

i make circular movements with my left index finger when i am thinking

i refuse to take perscribed medicines but i will take any drug (e's speed or coke) off the street and take it with out a 2nd thought.

i correct everyones spellings.....even though sometimes mine are not perfect. its actually how i became friends with my best friend. i corrected the word stereotype.

if i like an eminem song i will fall asleep with it on repeat and wake up knowing the words

i have urges to climb things that look cool

i look in peoples fridges for no apparent reason....even if i dont know them that well.

i have to sleep with the covers on my feet through fear of someone grabbing them (even though i am the only one in the house)

i use hair grips to clean my ears (disgusting, i know)

if i like to eat something i will eat it everyday for months til i am sick to death of it....i will then repeat this process with other foods.

i can only sleep lying flat in a bed and it has to be on my side.

when i walk i go into my own little world and often stare into space.....my legs go on auto pilot.

if i have a spot or blemish i will pick and pick at it til it is raw and bleeding, wait for it to scab over and do it again until it turns into nothing (this is my worst habit)

i say 'yeah man' all the god damn time

i sit refreshing the page on facebook at 3 am knowing damn well no one is online.....i can do this for hours.


i hate all green foods! i do not know why but i hate them......even green sweets.

i sing stupid made up songs when i am in a good mood. usually about cheese on toast.


i sometimes scare myself if i catch a glimpse of my reflection when i turn of my laptop or look in a window when its dark. it scares the life outta me.

once i have sent a text message i will read it over and over to see if it sounds ok (i have this thing about texts being read out of context and people taking them the wrong way)

i cannot tell a lie. i go a horrible shade of red/purple and become blotchy with my own guilt.

i drink far too much diet coke

i cant drink coffee or anything that contains caffiene (other than diet coke). it makes me jittery yet i am a stimulant freak at the weekends.

i cannot pluck my own eyebrows or put on eye liner.....maybe due to the fact i am petrified of anyone/thing touching them.

i refuse to go to the dentist yet i have tattoo's

i am fascinated by needles although i could never inject anything myself. (weird as fcuk)

i hate when people use words like lv or luv.....its so false and annoys me. i am the same with hun or babe.

i love the fact that i am a little strange.....it's who i am. i could go on all night writing these but i wont.
 
Whenever I'm close to scoring some Oxy, I start to go completely OCD with the number 3. If I bump into something like a table, i would have to bump it twice more to make it 3 bumps.

If I walk up a stair way, I would avoid every other step till I get to the top. I would sometimes touch my tables or keys 3 times before I go and get my stash.


Weird... but only happens when I'm in the process of getting my oxy.

Oxy doesnt give you OCD does it? lol
 
I absolutely MUST take a shower facing AWAY from the showerhead (so that the water is striking my upper back). I get really uncomfortable if I turn around and face the falling water. I think it's more of a habit that I've been doing since a kid than an actual phobia (aside from the fear of change in this instance), but it's kind of a weird one.

Man oh man, if I started going into the weird things that I do as a result of being OCD, I could write a short novel ;)
 
^I used to get VERY upset when I would get my face in the water stream during a shower- I would wash my face when the water was coming out of the tub faucet- and in the sink of course.....but the shower used to bother me a lot. Now it doesn't.

Another strange OCD type thing I used to do is...... wash my hands only in the bath tub. I was afraid of germs from the sink. NEVER in the kitchen sink.
There have been a few other quirks-

But....... I will spare you all.
 
Along the lines with showers, apparently I'm one of few people who turn the shower on before I get in the tub/shower.

Whenever I use a microwave I put the timer on before closing the door, but that's mainly because I have to do that for my own microwave and have gotten so used to it that I do the same for all microwaves now.

I also have to smell a (clean) glass, rinse it out, and then smell it again before I get a glass of water. I've mentioned that in a couple other threads on BL though and was surprised to find a few others around here that do that as well!
 
^
I definitely do the first two as well (I mean do people not??), and the third...well I have my own routine with glasses. I seriously have to go over them with a magnifying glass to make sure I cannot see any visible food particles on them, which may have survived the most recent wash. I often do my own dishes by hand and THEN put them through the wash. I <3 OCD.
 
^haahaha maybe those are the people...... 8(


I'm trying to think of something else weird I do.... I know there are 101 things.....
I should ask my hubby. He'd probably have a list-
Um......I don't know if I have said this already but I talk to my kitties like they are people and when they meow back I pretend they are speaking words and respond to them :)
 
When I'm eating a meal, I always eat the least tasty items first, leaving the yummiest food til last :)
For example, if I've got a plate of crumbed lamb cutlets, creamy pasta bake and broccoli, I'll eat it in the order of:
*broccoli (don't get me wrong, I love broccoli!!)
*lamb cutlets
*pasta bake
I never change around mid-way through the meal. I've always done it, dunno why! It's probably not that weird, heaps of people probably do it...

omg I thought I was the only person who did this. If you eat the good stuff first, what do you have to look forward too? :)
 
I wash dishes before I use them, even if they've been in the dishwasher. Habit from childhood, could never count on anything being clean.

Short text, whatever you call it, annoys the fuck out of me. Dnt tlk lyk dis if u wnt to b understud, yo. Takes more effort to write and read it than the normal english language.

I'm a spelling freak. I will correct your spelling, don't care who you are, and don't take it personally or as an insult to your intelligence, it's just a pet peeve. If I can't spell a word right myself, it seriously pisses me off to a degree you don't understand.

I won't eat alot of things with a thick consistency.
 
^great you just made all those with OCD around here have to go take a shower facing away from the water washing every part of their body 3 times
 
I too take showers facing away from the showerhead (and I ALWAYS turn on the water before I step in, to give it time to warm up). I thought that was normal!
 
^Same here!

Hmm ... I can only fall asleep on my back.

When eating a bagel, I take a bite and then go around in a circle (not sure where that came from)!

I have to pee before I go to sleep. If I've been up reading or whatever, I still have to pee again before sleep.

I sleep with a mask. If I don't have it, I usually cannot fall asleep (I am so used to the weight of it - which is practically nothing, but it is cushioned so it has a little something in there).

When I drink from a straw, I always take 3 sips - one on the right, one on the left, and one in the middle.

I HATE it when people touch my ears or bellybutton.

I always want to have socks on (I think if my feet are cold, I'll be cold).
 
^ I can never fall asleep on my back... only in the fetal position (I guess I never really grew up). :)
 
I used to get bored at night and would think it would be funny to follow a random person late at night in their car for a real long time, making every turn they make, etc, just to freak them out.

And that was BEFORE drugs!
 
Haha I love this thread too :D

1. As someone else mentioned, if my housepartner did not own a microwave I would not and never have when living on my own. I know how they work and why they aren't dangerous, but it is a personal phobia and for some reason or another they freak me the fuck out. Yes, all they're supposed to do is excite water molecules, which creates friction... but I feel uncomfortable around them. I will never cook or heat up anything in one, which is a pain in the neck, but throwing something in a pan is enjoyable - not scary.

2. I take impeccable care of my hair and skin. It freaks me out if either is less than perfect, even if my hair is put up with pencils (not uncommon). I wear almost no makeup, so if I'm forced to conceal a flaw, I have an OCD-like tendency to concentrate on that flaw to an unhealthy effect. I don't spend much time on it, so people never know unless I tell them. I examine every label, test every product... and enjoy many things aesthetic.

3. I am annoyingly anal about pens and pencils. I MUST use either of high quality and have favorites. If I'm not writing with one of them, I feel almost uncomfortable. I also, when signing papers, insist on everyone using the same pen and that it be a blue one so I can tell the authenticity.

4. I am horrendous at all higher math but I can do long division in my head and arithmetic is no problem at all.

5. I love astrology and may do it as a career someday. Not predictions, more like consulting. I actually may get a degree in this stuff, so don't think me nutty. Such things exist, and credentials never hurt. :)

6. I will fight for the underdog in general and not give up on what I believe is right and fair.

7. I am not intimidated one iota by people older, smarter, and/or richer than me. I am fairly fearless in general, which can get me into trouble but also out of it.

8. I will be 30 in 2 months yet I still sleep with a stuffed animal when it is not intimate time. ;) It is a baby dinosaur.
