That weird thing you do...

I can stick my shoulder blades about 4-5 inches out of my back, and it feels AWESOME. If I do it while walking on my hands and knees it looks similar to how a lion or tiger looks as they walk.

I hum when I enjoy food hahahah it's rather embarrassing when people are over my house eating and I start to really enjoy a meal and I start goin hmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMM like a animal an notic everyone looking at me then they burst out laughing boooo

OH I so do this as well. My sister does too. I was just recently in the US visiting her and we did a lot of cooking together and there was a bunch of mmmmmm'ing going on. Her boyfriend said it all sounded a bit pervy!

I do not think I have OCD but...

I have to lock my car door with my remote at least 3 times every single time I lock my car.
I have to tie my right shoe only after I get on the elliptical machine.
I mouth the words to songs (don't sing out loud) when I am working out listening to my Ipod.
I don't like for anything to touch my wrists or the middle of my back except clothes.
I never pick an item on the first row in the supermarket.
I brush my teeth and floss way more than normal people.
I weigh at least 4 times when I step on the scales.

Other than that...I am completely normal = )

I only use bookmarks for my books, I cringe if someone folds the poor innocent page.

All my books need to be lined up by color, starting with the darkest color and ending with the lightest shade and also by size.

All my food in my cabinets have to be organized. All peanut butter jars must be facing forward and all my protein bars stacked up neatly.

I pretend I'm in a movie and I'm that girl that everyone adores and I'll skip around my house and twirl

I have to brush my hair a certain amount of " strokes " or whatever you want to call it. I brush each side of my hair 100 times and then do the next side

I always put chips inside my sandwich..i like it crunchy

i never sleep with any body parts off of the bed because a monster will eat it off

I brush my teeth 6 or more times a day

If something smells bad I will continue to smell it just to remember how bad it smelled

I am obsessed with star wars

I can not make it through a conversation without inserting a completely random movie quote that usually has nothing to do with what I am talking about..usually from the goonies or back to the future..haha

i also do the chips in the sandwhich and the smelling thing. LOL also if i got a bruise or a cut. i press it so i can feel the pain.

LMAO! I too sleep with all body parts on the bed, and I press down on bruises or rub my palms when they hurt, and when I stock my fridge with water/cabinets with boxed or cans ALL of the labels have to be facing the same way.

I also tend to count stairs while going up them and go by twos. I bite and pick at the skin on my lips until they bleed sometimes. Other than that...nothing much else...I don't think! :ohwell:

I do these too!

my face scrunches up when i "peel" a head of iceberg lettuce. i have no idea why. it doesn't happen with other types of lettuce, just iceberg. it's involuntary.

i count things (to myself) to pass the time. if i'm waiting in a lobby, i'll count tiles, or the number of bricks in the wall, or whatever. sometimes when i'm at the post office waiting, i'll pick a letter and then look around the room to see how many times i can find on posters, or signs, or wherever. nobody knows i do this. until now nobody knew. now that i've confessed, you can decide if its weird.

i also check to make sure my garage door is closed at night. i have to check 2 or 3 times usually. same thing with making sure the gas is off on the stove. i check that 2 or 3 times. i'm not OCD, but i have this fear that my carelessness could result in something bad to happen, so i make absolutely sure it can't, so maybe i'm slightly OCD about those 2 things. there's one other thing... on trash day, i have to make sure i can see my wallet and keys on my desk until the trashmen come, otherwise i'm afraid i might accidentally throw them away, even though never once in my life have i accidentally put either in the trash. i guess it's the fear of doing something out of carelessness and the repercussions of it that worry me. but that's it for the OCD-lite symptoms from me.

This is so me! I count constantly and I cannot explain why I do it. I don't count things I just count in my head when I have nothing to think about.
I have to check (multiple times) the knobs on the stove to be sure they are off, my curling iron is unplugged, doors locked & garage door down. I have actually turned around half way to work to drive past my house to make sure garage door went down & stayed down. I feel like an idiot but I HAVE to do it. I can't imagine what my neighbors think.
I have my mouth open the entire time I am putting my make up on. I have no idea why???
I have to have the comforter and pillows lined up perfectly on the bed. My husband knows how I am about this & he purposely will go in and move them. I check them every time I walk past the bedroom & have to straighten them. I'm definitely not OCD either, I think I just have some weord habits.

i've done that too, but only when i'm just a short distance from home (1/4 of a mile or so). :embarassed:

after browsing the responses, my ketchup on scrambled eggs sounds perfectly normal now. thanks!

Yes I do all these too!

Adding to it....

I won't eat anything soggy.

I either have to sleep with the fan on and/or my body half out of the covers!

I thought of a couple more...

I have to eat pizza hot right when it comes out or I won't eat it cold.

I twirl my hair on end all day everyday...

I bite my nails and my skin daily.

I also like to meow at cats as wells as quack at ducks.

After reading this thread I guess I am a little weird...


1. My clothes in the closet go from Jackets -- dresses-- sweaters -- long sleeves-- short sleeves-- and spaghetti straps...
2. My jeans are color coordinated at the other end of the closet.
3. My shoes are coordinated in the closet as well... all my cowboy boots-- work shoes-- tennis shoes-- sandles and flip flops..
4. I bounce my legs while sitting at the computer at work..... 99% of the time my legs are bouncing unless I have them tucked underneith me while I sit. I have to be tapping something though if i don't bounce my legs im tapping my hands.
5. I have to carry something to drink with me 100% of the time even if i am running to the gas station 5 seconds away and don't plan to be there long.
6. Pronounce letters.... birthday is litterely pronounced birTH day and I say poem weird.
7. I eat one thing at a time on my plate, I am okay with them touching but I have to eat all my veggies, protein then whatever else is on my plate...
8. I sleep with one leg on top of the covers and the rest of my body under the covers. with a box fan and ceiling fan on and the ac at 70 ALL YEAR.
9. I snort when I laugh.... my sister honks when she laughs... get us together you have a zoo... seriously.

Hey, when a cat meows at you it's only polite to meow back. Me and my cat have long convos. He loves it.

2 words - BUBBLE WRAP!!! Also, not sure if it's a weird habit, but I have always associated colors with sounds - i.e., screams are bright red, I associated certain colors with certain family members' voices. I also associate colors with certain numbers. I read somewhere it has something to do with the signals in the brain being crossed ... ?

The weight room at the gym was horribly disordered early this morning.
I put all the weights back.
Even I think that is pathetic and weird.

It takes everything in me not to fix the weights, but still have to straighten the area around me

My goal every week is the gym 4 days a week and a minimum of 90 miles a week of bike riding. No matter how many miles I ride though, I have to end on a ten-mile mark, 90, 100, 110, 120.

I can and do talk like Marvin the martian when going through drive-thrus.

Adrian211

i sleep with a fan on (summer and winter)

Me too! ALL the time

Oh me too! Can't sleep without some kind of noise

ninam0603

LOL I bite my husband and kids. Not hard though. I just like the way it feels. We must have been Vampires in a past life lol.

laural007

I smell my upper lip. Well, actually, it's how I plug my nose when I'm going underwater. It makes the *ugliest* face. But hey cool, whatever, not many people can do this rare and strangely creepy looking thing I do. *shrugs*

I just did it as I was reading this lmao

I tried it too lol

BriskaPacojame

If its dark out I look around, and under my car, then hop in slam the locks and check the back seat.

I put ranch in my spaghetti.
and run and jump on my bed so no monsters can grab my feet getting into bed lol.

LoL, I'm not the only one who runs and jumps into bed for that reason?! My mom remembers me doing that as a kid. I fixed it by refusing to use bed frames for any bed in my house. Also, for the person who said no body parts hang off the bed because a monster will eat them, I hear ya! :laugh:

Dub_D

I chew on everything.

RobinvdM

I have to have the volume on the tv/radio/stereo/....etc on an EVEN number.

Wow, I thought I was the only one. Only for me it has to be a multiple of 5.

Other weird things I do - Count backwards from 297 to get to sleep. Always 297.

Gas pumping - the dollar amount or gas gallon qty has to be a whole number ($35, or 15g) no decimals. Yuck.

tracymat

If we are ALL doing these weird things, are they really all that weird????

Pnknlvr96

Pop my knees..Drink milk and Pepsi..have to have labels facing out in a pantry/cupboard..ummmmm lol dunk fries in my milkshake (all of one time per year), have to put my groceries up on the belt in order of cold, canned and boxed...I'm sure there's more..

I do the same thing with my labels and also when putting my groceries onto the belt. Sometimes I fix the shelves at the store too. Other weird things include having my car stereo volume on even numbers, double check the lock on my door every night, and rinse my ice cubes before adding the beverage (it gets the freezer taste off).

Oh, I also have two dogs and have distinct voices for them. We have conversations and they'll "talk" to each other.

AlayshaJ

Everything I do is weird.

i clean my bathroom 3 times a week, and if a towel falls close to the toilet, I can't use it.
I can not take a bath unless I clean the bathtub first..... even if I cleaned it the day before.....

makemewannadie

When I'm home alone I turn on all the lights so it looks like my house is inhabited, I guess because I have a paranoia/fear of being murdered. Haha.

Me too, I just live with my boyfriend and he always finishes work late (usually 11pmish) and I get so paranoid! Doesn't help that our flat had an attempted break in at 2 in the morning a couple of weeks ago when we were in bed, we woke up and heard someone trying to quietly unlock our front door, literally never screamed so loud haha
(and i'm sure this will help your fear )

_SpeshK_

When I'm talking with someone, I'll tap out the syllables to the conversation with my fingers. It's hard to describe, but I try to tap it out in a pattern where the sentences end on a pinky tap. lol.

When I'm the passenger in a car and we are coming toward a puddle I always picture the car doing a skateboard ollie over the puddle...hahaha...that's a weird one.

When I eat chicken sandwiches (it's been awhile) I eat the bread with mayo first, then I eat the chicken patty by itself..my friends always think I'm weird.

I take cold cans of soda and put it under my eyes because it feels good when I'm tired.

Querks from being a baton twirler: I always have to march/run to the beat of the music, left foot on the downbeat. If I'm on a sidewalk, my right foot has to hit the crack on the center of my foot (military marching band alumni will understand this one).

I lick my eyeshadow brushes before dipping them in the eyeshadow - makes it stay on longer.

I'm sure there's plenty more...I'm a weird person.

I do this too!!! I have no idea why either.

Dipping French fries in a shake...... Not anymore but it was a good combination when I indulged.

I won't take the last item on the grocery shelf or the first. I'll grab the second or third item behind the first.

I prefer setting my alarm to an odd number (5:57).... Just works for me.
