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

[Pistol Night]

When I get bored in the shower I'll tap my stomach like a drum, and the drum beat that I do the most is this absolute banger!

Must sound suss..

 

[Xtreme]

Must sound suss..

I don't even know how I got started doing it, the only thing I can think of pop culture-wise was Shannon Elizabeth tapping her own belly in the first American Pie.

It's not like I drum for minutes, it's more like 5-20 seconds out of self amusement!

As good a rock intro as I can think of, im ok with this

 

[Engimal v3]

I do a bunch of crazy tics or stims or something. Never took the time to find out why lol

 

[peternorth]

let laptop power run to at worst 20% before charging it up

 

[Cruyff14]

Turn my headlights off before arriving to where I am going so I don't forget.

 

[Madas]

Rev my engine 3 times before switching off to put charge in the battery
Something I picked up off my grandad

I double check they're off every single time I leave the car, whether I turned them off or not. First time I borrowed my dad's car (1999) I left the head lights on, RACV etc, it's scarred me ha ha

I have left my lights on twice at work this year and I have been able to get back home without issue. I was shocked the car even started.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

My car beeps obnoxiously at me if I turn it off while the headlights are still on.

 

[troybe]

My fridge beeps at me if I leave the door open too long like mate I’m trying to put food in you.

After locking the car i always go back to double check after some metres taken walking away. Even though I could press the lock button I still visually check.

Same with the garage door at night.

Same could go for a partner (male or female)

My wife is the ****ing queen of this. She'll lock the door, go back to double check, pull the car out and be like "did you check the door as well".

This is 100% me, I'm like it with the oven and the hotplates the most. And I get really nervous when leaving the house for a holiday, I check that much shit 100 times it drives me mental. Every single time we have us three in the car ready to go, I'll take the seatbelt off and Mrs interloper "THE BLOODY OVEN IS OFF OK"

 

[the_interloper]

Oh and I've reduced the microwave time for my son's cheese and Vegemite toast from 25 to 24 seconds. I did it for something different today and I detected no discernible difference to the integrity of the breakfast, I think I'm going with it from here, less carbon footprint and more efficient overall, win/win I reckon.

Yeh I’m with your wife here. On occasion we will leave the house and my wife will freak out about the back door, like mate, we didn’t go out the back, it will remained locked from when you triple checked it last night

Cheese and Vegemite on toast made in a microwave sounds like something child welfare should be looking into.

That's science, bitch!

To clarify I toast the bread first, then butter, Vegemite cheese and then nuke for said 24. Rereading that perhaps it sounded like it was on bread in which case I’d agree

I take photos of the oven being off, the heater flicked to off, the door locked etc and show them to HBF when he goes oh shit I'll just go check the oven for the 3rd time before we drive off (only when we go away, not every time we leave the house duh)

I have several photos over years on my own phone of the oven and hotplates. Let me tell you it doesn't stop the anxiety!

Is this necessary?

Does it work?
