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

[LadyPants]

Probably about 85% of what's already been said. But also when playing GTA on ps3 or footy in the backyard, I make up scenarios all the time. i.e. ten seconds to go in the GF...

I got a little carried away doing this with an imaginary Australian cricket team. I literally wrote down imaginary scores for hundreds of test matches. Players would fall out of form, come back years later, I'd work out their statistical averages. I went through about five "eras" designated by who was my Australian test cricket captain at the time - so probably about twenty years of cricket. I had to add teams to the test calender like Kenya, Portugal, Nepal and Botswana to keep things interesting, and then I'd need to research and find 12-13 surnames for each test team.

I did this as well. There was this awesome board game with 2 dice and a board with tokens to put fielders in and all. Different/better batsmen were harder to get out (eg, no.3 was rank A, no.11 was I think rank E) Spent a lot of my childhood playing it.

If I could find/remember what the board game was called I'd go out and buy it again. Wish I didn't lose the one I had.

EDIT: HOLY SHIT I REMEMBERED IT! It was called 'Go for the runs!'. Now to find myself a physical version of it.

You guys must have had insane memories and imaginations to carry that all around with you.

When I was shooting hoops in the backyard on my own I used to try and reenact every single shot from the Larry Bird: a Basketball Legend documentary- at one point I think I even brought the vcr and tv out there to make reference easier- the one at 6.20 took a heck of a long time to perfect-[YOUTUBE]O4rIorKmA4Y[/YOUTUBE]

I did the same with my Tony Modra video. Not quite to the lengths of taking the vcr out into the yard though.

I take the backstreets to my destination wherever possible, because I enjoy driving alone & not stopping at traffic lights.

When I was younger I used to play a lot of monopoly by myself, left hand vs right hand. Things got pretty intense once I started putting houses on things and traded myself for properties, complete with negotiations. By the sounds of it there were a lot of kids like me who were happy to create their own version of what would otherwise be multiplayer games.

That's a lonely kid.

How could you negotiate with yourself? You can't bluff or anything

Gonna assume these negotiations were biased towards your pleasuring hand

Turning down the music in the car so I can find a place/street easier.

Folding your arms in the shower and tucking them into your chest, then watching the water fill up in your arms, then letting go and releasing a colossus water bomb.

Placing both feet on the drain hole in the shower and watching the water fill up the shower.

Trying to make a lightswitch stay exactly halfway between on and off.

Brush my hand across those nice-feeling sofas and watch the texture change shades.

Always eat orange lollies last, as they taste the nicest. Probably the same with most food, seeing as why I eat veggies first. haha. probs not all that rare though.

Someone mentioned this in the first couple pages of the thread, but when I played cricket I also put my left pad on first. Felt weird putting the right one on. Didnt give a shit about the order of the rest. haha.

Running up stairs like a monkey.

Draw things on the foggy shower glass with my penis.

When kicking a rock while walking, trying to guess which foot you're going to kick it with without breaking stride.

When on long driving trips, look for good places to snipe people from. (this one scares my mum haha)

I also played cricket in the hallway of my house.

Hahah I do all these except the drawing with the nob, sniping locations and running like a monkey.

I used to have conversations with my food in my head before it went in my mouth before I ate it. And then I would think they'd meet up in my stomach.

When I am on the computer, Firefox, windows media player, and MSN have to be open in that order on my toolbar. If they aren't I get agitated and feel compelled to change it.

I also listen to the same three songs every morning, in the same order, as soon as I turn on my comp.

With my clothes on my coathangers, the hook has to be facing the right when it is put in the cupboard.

Whenever i am either watching TV or listening to the radio the volume must be on an even number. I am tense if i see it on an odd number and must change it before i can settle.

What songs?

 

[Cruyff14]

All Springsteen songs. Backstreets, Growin Up & I'm Goin' Down.

Also, when I was a teenager, I would chuck on a Springsteen DVD, stand in front of the TV, pretending to be him, play air guitar and sing. And pretend I am playing to 20,000 people. I would mimic all of his actions.

I collected KFC refresher towels ever since I was 5. I'm up to at least 500 as I always ask for more than needed (i.e. about 5 each time.)
One day when shit gets messy...

After pushing out a set on the Bench Press, i stay laying down and punch the air so i feels like i have super speed.

Come at me fresh air.

Sleep the opposite way on my bed.

Sleep the opposite way on my bed.

I used to save this up for when I really struggled to fall asleep. It was like the Hail Mary of sleep manoeuvres.
