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

Origami out of old metcards on the train.
Mostly just boxes, maybe the odd crane, or something.

Would be cool if others did it.

I've just read through 25 pages of this stuff - addicting. I can safely say that I do probably 80% of these things, including;

1- Highlighting everything I read online.

2. Sleep with a pillow between my knees. Excellent for people with back pain too.

3. In the car, I used to 'bounce' in my mind over the reflector lights on the side of the road.

Here's a few of my own.

1. I read all magazines and newspapers from the back to the front.

2. I sleep on my wife's side of the bed when she's not there.

3. After getting out of the shower I always dry myself in the same order. I can't tell you the order, but I know it's the same every time.

4. When I was a kid, I used to stand somewhere in my house with the right-side of my body against the wall. I would then walk the entire way around my house with my right-side touching the wall, weaving in and out of furniture where required. Eventually, you end up back where you started. Then go the other way.

5. Not sure if this counts, but at least 4 times a week, I will look at the clock when it is 9:11. I did this for years before September 11 too.

Enough from me - many more pages to wade through.

This, happens to me too, even now. Everytime i look at my phone clock, computer clock or watch even if its day or night i always get 9.11

Alway been told all the spit is at the bottom. Not sure if true and never stopped me before anyway.

Go spit in a beer and see what happens. I believe saliva is slightly more dense than most beers, so it would probably end up on the bottom of the glass over time. Not that I know too many people who dribble in their beer.

Yeah I was always told the last 5% was backwash.

When im on the train, looking out the window, I imagine a little Mario running over buildings, fences, etc, and jumping over the gaps between them.

I had two numbers that always haunted me 10:27, and 11:11 (dammit just looked at the clock now).

Never could work out why. Mentioned it to my mum when I was about 12 or so. She completely freaked out.

My great-grandfather died the day I was born, literally in the next ward of the hospital mum was in. He died at 10:27. I was born soon after at 11:11.

Its weird how everyone has their special times. Mine are 7:47 and 3:16.
I was born at 3:16, and its ridiculous how often I see the time 3:16 when I check the time.
The Stone Cold is strong in me.

3.34
after Tubby Taylors innings I saw it tons.

 

[Caesar]

I saw a show called Food Detectives once where they tested the backwash theory. IIRC the saliva content of the last sip was something like 1 or 2%, which is pretty negligible in a few mil of liquid.

 

[tigercass]

What's the logic behind leaving a cm of drink left in the glass?

I don't know I just never want that last little bit, unless I'm skulling a pot then I finish it just to prove a point............

 

[bigpapagman]

I leave 1 cm of whatever I'm drinking in the bottom of my glass.Also at work we have 15kg bags of sugar and flour, every time I walk past them I punch them, secretly hoping my fist will go straight through..........

Too bad for the poor old sap around your joint always having to pick them up and tip them out........

I have a mate who does this all the time and it's ****ed! Morning after a big night the joint smells like an RSL because of all the stale piss left in the bottom of his bottles.

And you always get caught when grabbing an armful of empties to take to the recycling bin. One of his dregs invariably gets inverted, spilling all over your invariably clean shirt.

When a website wont open for some reason, I press the mouse button a little bit harder to try to "convince" it to open.

[Juddy88]

Probably not overly unique but always sleep facing away from my girlfriend. At my house I sleep on the left and face the left, at hers I sleep on the right and face the right. She does the same thing, but obviously facing the other way. For some reason it just feels more comfy.

Also if I crack a bone/joint on one side I feel the need to do it on the other side and even it out.

I do this as well, as you said it's comfier.

I collect my boogers and keep them in a scrap book.

When I see a plane flying across the skyline I make my hands into the shape of a gun, aim in front of where the plane is flying, make a shooting sound with my mouth and when the plane reaches the point I was aiming at I imagine it exploding and falling toward the ground in the distance.


No terrorist.

I furiously click repeatedly hoping just one of thosemany clicks will convince it to open

When i go up stairs, i go up on all four.

 

[Ebert80]

When i clean my teeth, I put my arm I'm not using to brush, behind my back.

I blame my Slurpee obsessiveness on my birth weight. (7 pounds, 11 ounces)

I also walk to the other side of my bedroom so that I can throw my clothes into my laundry basket.

 

[proka123]

- If i turn around in a 360 while doing something i always have to turn 360 again in the opposite direction so i'm 'even' again.

Yes this for me too. Also do the left hand side of the car thing about 90% of the time....it just feels so natural.

 

[TheNextBigThing]

When im on a crowded train i turn my bluetooth on and look for new devices to see what names some people have, don't wanna find out their real names but you come across some pretty funny ones
