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

In the last couple of years I have developed an odd habit of getting musical biographies signed by Test cricketers. Currently I have a copy of Dennis McNally's book on the Grateful Dead signed by Bhagwat Chandresakar, and Barney Hoskyns' biography of the The Band signed by Viv Richards and Kepler Wessels. This year I shall take Dave Graney's excellent autobiography and see who I can find to sign it.

I lol'd at that Chinese bus crash.

I often look at what people have in their trolley at the supermarket and imagine them sitting at home enjoying their food. Like an old bloke with some Arnott's Milk Arrowroot biscuits, I just imagine him sitting there completing sudokus and dipping his Arrowroots in his cup of tea, rapt with life. I'm a little different. I also never grab a basket/trolley and end up awkwardly cradling twenty items and trying to make it to the register without dropping something, only to get to the car and realise I didn't even buy the f*cking thing I went there for in the first place.

Haha no luckily my mind only does it occasionally, and only for food items.

I thought it would be a good idea to be completely honest to a woman about how I felt about her. No one else does that right??

PS - It was way less effective than spinning shit. That spinning shit stuff works a treat.

I have a section under my desk with 7 custom pigeon holes in it. In each slot there is a rag. Each slot has a day labeled on it for whatever day it is that I'm masturbating. I then use the corresponding rag to clean up. For example today I'll be using the "mouldy Monday" rag. At the end of every month I then retire the rags and put them all in the same plastic bag so that they can communicate properly or do "retiree" things like shake hands or wave.

If I need to turn on or off the light switch in my pantry from the right hand side, instead of rotating my right hand and reversing it, to activate the switch, I swing around, activate it with my left hand, and end up doing a 270 degree turn.

I stand up when I wipe.

When adjusting the volume of radio in my car I like to have it on 5,10,15, 20 etc etc

I've discussed this before, probably here, but I, like some others mentioned, have similar traits. I have 17, 23,27,35, 37. I rarely go under 17 and rarely go over 37. I always go to 35, and it must go up exactly 1 volume level, not down.

• Avoid stepping on cracks in pavement
• I drink water straight from the bathroom tap rather than from a glass
• With the exception of turkey, I always finish my meat before my vegetables
• Whenever I'm carrying my wallet, I frequently check to make sure it's still there.
• Pull leaves off any low-hanging branches I walk by

I stand up when I wipe.

Me too. My mum tells me I'm weird.

You may be in the wrong thread (or maybe I am), all of those are pretty common?

Surely merely leaning to one side to provide access (the posture you might take when sitting down and ripping a fart) is the most sensible way of doing this, what if you stand up and poo falls onto the toilet seat?

Really? That's reassuring, I'm not as abnormal as I thought I was.

Same here. 'Cept for me, it's got to be multiples of 5, or 2. So, 2,4,5,6,8,10,12,14,15... I also have to have the volume turned down to 15, and make sure the radio, air conditioner, etc. are turned off before I will switch the engine off. I always lock the car, even when it's in the shed, and the shed's locked.

I tie my shoelaces with two big loops, and then cross them over. I've only ever met one other person who does this.

With the toilet paper roll, I have to have the sheet on top, not underneath. When I'm at someone else's house and it's the wrong way around, I have to fight the urge to reverse the roll.

When I make breakfast, everything has to be done in a certain order, otherwise it feels wrong and my day goes to shit. This doesn't happen for any other meal, though, I'm much more relaxed with lunch and tea/dinner.

I make lists. Lots of lists. And then I make sub-lists for my lists. Not everything always gets done off the list, but at least it's there on paper, and not rattling around in my brain. Which brings me to another point, I have to have a 'real' diary and a calendar to write appointments, etc. in, not some app. on a 'phone. And I dislike mobile 'phones; I have one for emergencies and for basic talking and texting, but it's under sufferance. I don't like being always contactable. And I only answer the home 'phone if I know the number, otherwise I just ignore it. If it's important they will ring back, I figure.

Other than that, I'm not at all weird.

- I leave my house unlocked even if I'm going out for a few hours.
- I don't clean my BBQ because I like the mixture of flavours.
