name one, really random, strange fact about yourself

chyloet

Ok, if you thought the trypophobia was wierd, I have more ...

I type EVERYTHING in my head (like visualize a keyboard) and count the letters secretly hoping for even numbers (oddly both my first and last names have an even number of letters). In general I prefer even numbers. The radio volume in my car can only be set at denominations of 5. I also add up license plate numbers ... and I believe that I've found a pattern, lol!

Also, in relation to my trypophobia; when I experience it I have to rub my finger tips of my fingers against my finger tip of my thumb in a circular motion (if you can visualize that) it helps to ease the weird sensation that the trigger causes.

Even more strange .... My mother didn't even know about this until this past year and NO ONE but you guys know about my typing, even numbers, radio volume and license plate things.

:blushing:

I have another!

I do things in multiples of 7. I spray a bottle 7 times, I do something for 7 seconds, I scrub a dish for 7 seconds, etc.

and if I have to go past 7 I dont go up to 14, I start over at 1 and go up to 7.

I have never felt more normal.



Edit: I'm totally jerking chains. I can't imagine going through life with most of these quirks. Makes me wonder if there are things that I do without knowing.

You know that feeling when you put a shirt collar in your mouth? Yeah i hate that too, but enjoy the terrible sensation of tasting the cotton

I looooooove the smell of paper! Whenever I get a new book or a letter in the mail, I put it to my nose and take a big whiff. Additionally, copy paper that has just been run through the printer is de-light-ful! Sometimes I try controlling myself when in public places (i.e. bookstores and such), but there are times when it's a MUST.

So many to choose from?!!! I eat my cereal with a teaspoon and I'm addicted to favorite apps on my IPhone (like MFP & Facebook).

I like 7s too. I'm getting a new apartment soon and was really happy to find out I got number 7!

When i fill up my car with gas I have to sit in my car with the door shut. The smell makes me dizzy.

Sometimes when I am driving somewhere that I have been a million times I have a complete mental block and can't remember how to get there. It usually takes about ten seconds of thinking real hard before it clicks.

I will randomly hiccup very loudly and only once.

if the toilet has just been cleaned either at home or at work, i will flush it 5 times before i use it because i'm scared my pee chemicals and the cleaning product's chemicals will cause the toilet to explode. 5 times is what it takes.

I have OCD intrusive thoughts which cause me to act randomly and intrusively, hoping more would have compassion for me.

Addicted2carbs

i can only have the volume on the tv on an even number (ex. 12, 14, 16) or numbers that end in 5 (15, 25, etc)
if i'm at someone's house and they put the volume to let's say 13 or 17 it really bothers me and i keep thinking about it, sometimes i take the remote and change it

omg same here lol

cherdan

Yay.
When I was 3 or 4 years old, I was obsessed with this toy xylophone I had. (I was an only child for a long time, needless to say.) One day, I slipped and fell on it. It sliced through the bottom right of my lower lip, deep enough that my pediatrician told my mom to take me to the ER to have it stitched up. She opted not to and let it heal naturally. I still have a scar from it. Cool story

Ok I will reveal my Husband is related to a very well known Canadian serial Killer, they are cousins, and no he is not at all proud of it, it has caused his life to be sheer living hell because of the surname, and no I will not reveal who it is.
