Society & Culture Things you do/did that you probably think no one else does

This was also a favourite of mine for long trips.

amazing how similar the human species are.

When I'm kicking a football I always need to have the laces facing up. It shits me to no end when I see someone just pick up a ball and kick it with the laces upside down, freaks.

i do this subconsciously.

Great Thread here are a few I kind could think of:

• I scream "bus w***ers" like Jay from the InBetweeners at poor innocent bystanders at bus stops when i'm driving with my mates.

Once I was walking down the street with a pizza, and some guy from a car yelled at me: "Nice pizza, jackass!"
Massive WTF moment

lold

when we were 17 and had cars but nowhere to go we used to drive around and yell dad/mum at people.

I sometimes let my dog give me head, and let a naked mate take a pic and then let it be posted on twitter.

I made up my own character that I pretended played for Port Adelaide after being traded by Melbourne. He was an awesome player, played centre half back mostly. I even got to the point where I would plan out what year he got drafted and how many games he played and how many goals he kicked for each club. I soon got bored with him circa 2003 and in came his 18 year old nephew who came through the rookie draft who quickly became the next best thing.

Pretty much did the same thing in my own "league". Had a version of me in there, was pretty much the most dynamic player in the comp. And then in the later years I ended up bringing in another player who was that guy's cousin. They were more rivals tho.

I was the only one who could kick a goal from the hatstand to the sofa. Had a lounge-room brownlow in the bag, until the three-strike policy came down hard on me. (Three household items broken = no more game.)

My favourite thing to do was to get injured mid game but stay on and play, being a hero for the team. Generally I'd do this with Gaelic games, for some reason the prospect of playing in Ireland in itself led to fantasy.

I did something similar, with a mark on the windscreen, and trying not to touch any trees.

This, or try to "hide" them by looking through it to something the same colour (e.g. a small speck of white bird shit - look through it at a white building).

Canberra can be a boring place...

w***ers shouting things from cars is one of the things that shits me the most.

like, the other day I'm walking from my bus stop and these two tools come by and start frantically waving at me. wtf?

 

[Notorious_29]

Probably one for the confession thread, but I'll admit I'm a car window shouter. "Look magpie", always gets a few laughs.

 

[Homer Jnr]

We usually just shout out 'Gary' and see how many waves we can get. Usually played when there is 4 in the car*

*No female drivers allowed, they can't multi-task with the yelling, waving and not crashing.

 

[crackedlogic]

*When its my turn to cook dinner i pretend its a cooking show and im some awesome chef.... sigh pretend

*Ditto with the walking on cracks thing i try to avoid them making me look like a complete idiot.

Oh whoever said he "capa'ed his brother on the bed" that has a whole new meaning nowadays.

When playing basketball in the backyard as a kid I created an imaginary league in my mind, complete with original team names and player personalities that were better/worse than others.

I would play out games myself acting as if there were defenders, and passing against the walls would enable me to change into a different offensive player. I would even dribble/shoot left handed for players who I had assigned to be left handed. I hope there were no neighbours watching because it would've looked pretty stupid when I would block myself every now and then.

When I couldn't be stuffed playing out a game or maybe wanted to speed up the season I would act out the highlights of games with ESPN style commentary (summing up stats, showing clutch plays down the stretch).

If I didn't play for a while, the next time I was out there I would imagine that there'd been an off-season, with some trades and even a draft, which pretty much just meant giving the shitter teams a decent youngster to play with. Players also aged, got injured, fell out of favour with coaches etc....

.....Surely someone else did this kind of thing?????

I've done the exact same. Use to do it all the time. Funny enough it was only ever basketball

 

[lewigie]

I try and count the dotted lines on the overtaking roads. I just do it when i'm bored.

 

[grimlock]

I imagine that my teeth are keys on a piano and I play tunes on them.

 

[ajsuperstar]

ok this is the height of laziness but when I am in the kitchen and feeling thirsty (with my hand comfortably nestled down my pants) i pull a drink out of the fridge, tuck it under the arm that is currently unavailable and open it with my other hand, then pour it etc... All in the name of not sacrificing my manhood!

Just remembered another. When padding up for cricket it must go in this order-
left pad, right pad, box, thigh guard, right inner, left inner, helmet, right glove, left glove.

If it doesnt go like that i don't feel right batting.

When waiting in line at the supermarket or shop I visualise myself beating the shit out of everyone around me like a ninja. I'm pretty much unstoppable in my imagination. Most bystanders are disposed of with an elbow to the face or an uppercut, the unluckier ones have their arms snapped over my shoulder, Steven Seagal style.

Sometimes my fantasy will culminate in the hot shop assistant wanting to sechs me because of my ability to indiscriminately bash and cripple strangers of various gender and age.

Sometimes when driving past a bus stop where people are waiting I'm unable to resist the urge to flip them the bird. I don't know what it is exactly but sometimes it's almost completely impossible for me not to do it. I think it's the look of shock on their faces and their sudden realisation that they will not be able to avenge this disrespectful act because of their poor choice of transportation.

seriously been pissing myself laughing for 10 minutes over these 2. I had to close my laptop screen and explain myself to the rest of the people in my team, which of course was impossible. Even if I explained, they wouldn't find it funny anyway.

Great stuff

I always wondered what people were daydreaming about when they aren't paying attention to actually purchasing their groceries! Hopefully they're all as exciting as this!

Every single time I go to look at pr0n, just as I get it up (the page ), I always think about dying and the shame of someone finding me dead with my dick in my head, listening to hits from the 70's on the radio, whilst someone gets a load in their eye on screen. So I ponder whether or not to look.

Then the thought dissipates and I find some ****ed up shit to watch.

 

[Hellgood]

I highlight just about everything I read on the internet. Never even noticed it until one day at school I was researching something with a mate he just said WTF are you doing?

Can also put my hand up as one of the few who play the games on the car window with the dots and trees.

I make up raps in my head based on events that I am doing, I'll just say I'm glad I don't talk to myself.

Also have noticed now after watching some cricket today at how I make up the worst jokes about player names in my head "Virender Sehwag... more like Surrender Sehwag"... "Brad Haddin... more like Bad Haddin"... "Nick Maxwell... more like Dick Maxwell" and on it goes... I'm a riot.

That is wierd.

When I was younger and had to walk long distances I would pick a point in the distance like a telegraph pole or a letterbox and estimate how many steps it would take me to get there and then count my steps to see how close I would get to my estimate. Then pick another point and so on.

Pretty stupid game but it used to help make boring long walks a bit more interesting.
