I play Tetris on my phone, a lot. Like 20 times per day. My Tetris obsession started in like year 9 at school (I'm 23 now). When I'm lying in bed or just sitting around I'll subconsciously play it and visualise how the tiles fit together.
If I'm on a roll I'll imagine that I'm in some sort of Tetris championships and I commentate my game "Hows he going to get out of this one? He looks finished, Mike" "HE'S CLEARED IT! HE'S CLEARED IT! WHAT A COMEBACK!"
I'm not that bad but that has happened before playing tetris before so you're not the only one!

Up there with the FIFA manager mode press conferences. "Look we were happy with the 1-0 but it shows plenty of decencies, it's a long season so you've always got to improve, but it's also a long season so there's time to become a better unit." Those nights of watching the Premier League highlights show and the cliche-espousing of some red faced Geordie really helped me there.

Did anyone else used to use their trampoline to dream things up? Ie, think up footy jumper designs, just create and think up alternate things in general? It'd also go with some random commentary of "and then the sash goes up and curves a bit..." and weird hand movements.

Honestly, that was the worst part of us selling the tramp. Terrible times.

I get blisters on my feet a lot from work. I love peeling them back, letting the skin dry out till its quite hard and sitting on the couch with a razor blade, slicing bit by bit.

At home I'll sometimes piss whilst sitting, especially if I'm really tired. I think Neil off the inbetweeners said it is 'like a little treat' haha

I have never had to get up in the middle of the night to piss. EVER. It always perplexed me when I'd go to stay and friends places and their mum would tell me where the toilet was 'incase i needed to get up during the night'. What the hell people? Control your liquids. I can even go to the pub, have a few schooeys and go to bed without pissing.

Gross kid/teenager stuff...

If I was blocked up and had a lot of phlegm, I would hock it and spit it at the side of my bedside table, it would dry up and I'd pick it off a few days later.

I had a bit of acne when I was a teenager, used to pop my pimples then wipe the head/puss on the frame of my mirror. I'd let it build up and after a while I'd get a bit of toilet paper and wipe it all off at once, was pretty gross how much would build up on it after a couple of weeks.
re: tetris - im like that with candy crush now. sometimes after a long slog on the game i look up and see candies everywhere and imagine forming combos.

bodily stuff - blackheads. love squeezing out blackheads and seeing how large, bulbous or long they are.

I had to go cold turkey from Tetris. It was beginning to be a problem. It was just everywhere in my brain, whatever I did. I had a game on my phone going for 67 hours or something.
That was about 2 or 3 years ago now. Haven't played since.

Well if people put peanuts then why not celery? Both are incongruously crunchy and hard in comparison to everything else on a pizza. I'm not doing it but I can see it happenin

When I'm in the comfort of my own home and am wearing EAP (easily accessible pants, ie, tracksuit pants) I often have one of my hands in my pants and I fiddle with my diddle. The other hand has to control the TV remote, type on the keyboard, browse the mobile.

I especially love doing it when it's cold, find it's the warmest place to go. My girlfriend hates it...I always tell her 'who said men can't multi-task?'

Women just don't understand the need to fiddle. If they had external genitals they'd understand

I wear socks to bed (unless it's a warm night etc), and I tuck my pajama pants into my socks.
This is hands down the oddest thing i have ever heard, Serial killer level

I mean, I know its small, but what the hell man?

Defs do this.
Just to have a scratch and feel around. Even keeps your hand warm which is a major plus too :thumbsu:
Couldn't do it while typing though. Need two hands for that imo
