Human beings are weird.

So I am an avid people-watcher and today I was watching this man walk down the street. Something about him just struck me as funny. Perhaps it was because he was walking like a constipated penguin. I don't know. It just got me to thinking that the human race as a whole is just really bizarre.

So what little weird ticks or behaviors do you have?

For example, I pull my earlobes when I am trying to make myself stop laughing. It's probably just mental, but it works.

Of course people are wierd. It's more fun that way. Just look at Lunatic Goofballs.

Humans are weird compared to what exactly?

And I think about a huge diamond sitting on a purple cushion to turn me off (and it really works!)

Then again I do everything weird

I don't know if this is even weird, but..

I noticed that when I'm eating lunch or dinner or whatever, I always finish my food, then I drink my drink..

I also decontruct my food before I eat it..

Like butterfingers.

I eat the chocolate, then the crunchy part. Same with kitkats..

If you think the ladies are impressed when you lick your elbow you have some serious misunderstandings about anatomy on the whole there :D

Compared to a platypus? I don't know really. Damn you for making me think. :p

But... but... I don't wanna be weird :(

*sobs uncontrollably*

Why?

(:D)

I dunno - I find it kinda hard to notice my own weirdnesses and ticks. I'm often simply a nervous wreck, that's enough for me to deal with without having to think of how I behave weirdly, or even worse, try not to.

A word of advice, hon : Licking is good. Just try to stop licking yourself and start to get busy on the ladies :D

I think a lot of people have a "system" for eating their food. For the longest time I used to eat one thing at a time. Chicken first, then mashed potatoes, then peas. A lot of times I wouldn't even touch my food if I didn't have milk to wash it down with. Now I just get too hungry to care.

I dod that too, sometimes. Less so if whatever bit I eat first isn't that good.

I've got mild OCD, so I guess any number of things I do could be considered weird. I'm just happy that I don't have it as bad as some people do; it can disrupt their lives.

Humans can create something cool out of trash. Like when I found a very dark black sunglass lense on the ground, then placed it over my right eye so it could sit easily over my it, and it looked like some wireless eyepatch.

Don't even get me started on OCDs. I have several myself, some worse than others. I want to be one of those people who have to flip a light switch five times before leaving a room, but I just don't have the patience.

Those people should never work in photography, or anything that requires a dark room.

Yeah, it's pretty rough. I have the whole patterns of four and crap like that, and I let it go because it doesn't take a long time and I just want to get past it. I'm definitely not obsessive about cleanliness, though, I guess I'm too lazy for that.

I actually have like real OCD, so it's not even worth it getting into.

My friends have noticed that when I am listening to people I tend to cock my head to the right if I think they are saying something important, but left if I think they are full of shit.

now, how my friends know what I am thinking :confused:

well, it could be the fact that I don't seem to be able to keep my mouth shut.


oh and I eat my food in a certain order, meat, veggie, nightshade, legume, fruit, etc. if one is missing I just move on to the next.

and I sort my animal crackers, but I went into the process not long ago anyway, so I don't feel like I should repeat it.

*tilds head to the left* (/jk!!!)
*hears sound in neck* (/no jk :()
*doesn't do it again!* (ouch!)

That reminds me - I usually sort M&Ms by colors and eat them in pairs, same goes for Gummibärchen and Jelly Beans. That weird enough?

Oh, oh, here's another one... I usually carry a whole shitload of "equipment" in my cargo trousers. You know, kleenex, pens, a knife, shades, all kinds of useful trinkets that I grow fond of over the years and which have proven their usefulness time and again.

And I'm obsessed with correct spelling. Especially in English, since that seems to be the way I store the words up there... (As for German spelling - used to be close to perfect before some "smart" people decided to change a whole bunch of rules and now I don't know what's right and what's wrong anymore).

I'm an M&Mist. I only eat the blue and green ones. The other colors aren't good enought for me.

No. I do eat'em all. Just two of each color at a time. Either all of one color and then move on, or some of these, some of those...
Problem is - what do I do if there are single ones left? It's hard to match them then. (Like they "weigh" differently or something. God, I can't believe I'm that weird, come to think of it. GNM, what have you started???)

[Oh, and I'm GNM as well (from the days at the arcade where you could only punch in three letters... German Nightmare...)]

I pour them all out, sort them by color, then by quality, then can only eat the color if there are an even number of acceptable M's, the "waste" goes to my children.

my purse weighs 35lbs, then I have a rolling cart seperate full of other stuff, I am like 3 steps away from being a shopping cart lady........

Weird indeed. The only correct way to eat multi-colored food (as M&Ms) or cookies that come in different shapes is to pick out a group that contains all kinds exactly once, and then eat it.

If people from different backgrounds on different sides of this planet have similar behavior - is that still to be considerd that weird, then?!? It almost sounds as if we are supposed to eat M&Ms that way!

When I take my pants off (:eek:) I lose between 3-5kg, depending on the season.
You should see the top compartment of my rucksack - it contains everything I might need to stay away from home for about a day or two, including toothbrush, toothpaste, sealed deodorant cloth, other needful stuff...

All people are weird. Have you ever gotten to know somebody really well and found out that there was nothing out of the ordinary about them?

This is the essence of my signature: that there is no sane person, and we merely differ in how insane we are and in what direction we are insane.

Your priorities are really in order :p

My quirk isn't all that quirky. I just, have no filter. My mouth, to some degree has one, but my mind does not. Any subject you throw at me, no matter how disgusting and sickening it might seem, I will analyze it with the same thoughtfulness I'd give anything else.

I eat every M&M except for those of one color, usually orange, yellow or red. ?

Everyone I know is absolutely bonkers and they have no legitimate reason being on "the outside". That's why they're my friends.
