Subject: The Weird Things That We Do...

Written By: ultraviolet52 on 03/27/07 at 3:46 pm

So, what's any random weird thing that you do (something you know is weird about yourself or that others have told you of, lol)  ;D ?




I do this weird thing, where I strip my Reese's cup of all the chocolate and just eat the insides (peanut butter - mmmm)

I sort of do that eclairs. I lick the chocolate off first, then eat around the sides and try to save the filling for last.

I can make my throat sound exactly like a heartbeat.  Sometimes I've fooled doctors with it, and I've often annoyed some co-workers, classmates and teachers with it, but whenever I hear 'The Heart of Rock and Roll' by Huey Lewis, I can't help but sing along with the heartbeat sounds in it ;D

Do you use the one-handed or two-handed smash?  ;D


Hmmmm, weird things that I do???  I crack my neck.  Is that weird? 

Oh yeah, I dampen the tip of a Q-tip before I clean my ears, I guess that's weird.

I'll drink a hot cup of coffee rapidly, 3 minutes or less.  My husband asks me how can I guzzle it that fast, and says I must have a steel-lined esophagus (sp?) ;D

Of course if it's not hot enough, it goes into the microwave, until it's heated up to "guzzling temperature"  ::)

Before I use my credit card I always wipe the magnetic strip on my sleeve or pant leg.  I have no idea why, maybe it goes back to my days working in the credit card dept. of a bank.  If the strip is dirty it might not work.

I can't eat a sandwich the wrong way.

I have to eat all around the crusts. Then level off each end so it's perfectly square, then fold it in half and eat it in 3 bites or less.

If I'm standing around I start tapping.. I mean, like one would on a guitar.. with my fingers on my palms. Very weird in an Eddie Van Halen sort of way.

In addition to the "Spock Hands & Feet":

-I can't wake up fully, without reading a book with fewer than 350 pgs. in it.
(I am a speed-reader)

-When reading, I see the entire page at the same time, not just a few sentences.

-I tend to extend my tongue to my chin, on giant yawns.

-In order to walk comfortably most mornings, my toes must be popped before starting any sort of physical terapy.

My kids are like that, too.  My oldest went in a "yearly" cycle: 1st grade was bologna, 2nd was turkey, 3rd was brown sugar ham (and it HAD to be brown sugar, not honey or smoked or plain), 4th was PB&J and 5th was turkey again.  My middle guy will ONLY eat a PB&J sandwich (no turkey, ham, bologna).  My youngest will eat almost any kind of sandwich, but has 1 hot dog & 1 slice of bologna every day for lunch (if he can).

AFA other weird things:
I also dry my hand before getting it wet again
I eat all around the crust of a sandwich
I can't stand for cigarette butts to be in the same part of an ashtray as the ashes....even if I'm out in a bar, I have to separate them
If I'm eating something on a bun with sesame seeds, I scrape off all the loose ones and eat them separately when I'm done, making sure each one is squished before eating it....I do this with tomato seeds as well

Carlos does this when he has bread and butter-he will put close to a half a bar of butter on it (ok, maybe not that much but he does love his butter), then fold the piece of bread over and squish it.

This whole germ thing is getting out of hand, I think. Yeah, I'll wash my hands after using the toilet and stuff, but flushing the toilet in public restrooms with your foot and sanitizing everything around you will NOT help. Just think of all the germs you're breathing in while shopping. Germs are good for your immune system. Ask Kin. He'll tell you.

I can't help the way that I am...I feel very nervous if I don't do the things that I do....I told ya I was odd. ;) :D  But as far as the public bathroom thing...I've seen the nasty hogs that go in there sometimes...and they flush the toilet with their hand, use the door handle with their hand..and btw, don't wash their hands....so of course I am not going to touch the things they have touched, right after they just got finished wiping their butt, or who knows what else with their filthy dirty hands.

It's not.  A lot of people do that so they have nice ice cold water to drink without trying to squeeze ice cubes into the bottle.

I always take paper towels in a public bathroom in fours, and I always put four squirts of shampoo/conditioner in my hair whilst showering. I also like to eat snack food in fours, but I try not to if they're fattening. >_<

I don't know if this is weird or not, but I can't stand it when people bite on napkins or touch styrofoam... or rub foil against ceramic plates.

Um... I know there are more, but they're just too normal to me to be thought of. :P

This is kinda silly, but a big one with me involves songs. Why, I don't know, but I've always liked fadeouts/endings as long as I can remember. Back when I regularly made mixtapes (I still do actually, just not as much because of CDRs and my Ipod) I made sure I let each song fade at least most of the way out before cutting it off.

So, like if I'm listening to my CD Walkman and I reach where I need to be when a song is just about over, I'll want to wait for it to fade out, almost as if to be "respectful" to it. :D

That ain't weird. I usually fill up a bottle of water, stick it in the freezer and drink it the next day when I'm out. Rather than having warm water to drink. At home it is not an issue, as tap water is cold enough.

Yeah, it doesn't have to fade every note away, but I always like to let it go, say three quarters or more. As if to say goodbye. It has always been one of my pet peeves that radio stations often talk over/cut off song endings since they need the airtime. If I was a DJ (or if I ever am), I'd manually fade it out early.

AFA the germ thing, I'm not really anal about them since I saw a couple of news reports saying that germs are not altogether bad.  There is so much antibacterial stuff out and people use it so much that some are becoming resistant to it and kids that are compulsively kept from germs actually end up sicker than those who were exposed in small doses as a child.  I still wash my hands, but don't worry about much else......

Yeah, it musta really hurt bad, and this other guy I play against in the fall, well he got hit 2 years ago and lost teeth and had to have his jaw rewired. It was horrible. The dang composite bats are just too juiced & hot and are dangerous to pitchers standing 50feet away & having a line drive launched back up the middle at your face, at speeds over 100MPH.  Of course those are the bats that I use, but I don't go middle at pitchers, although I've buzzed the tower a couple of times and had them ducking  ;D
So you don't like Bonds?  you're in good company. I'd like to see him get plunked, but then I'd like to see a lot of players get beaned, especially pitchers that pitch inside. see how they like it.
