When I'm watching movies in which a character needs to swim underwater, I attempt to hold my breath for as long as that character does (I'm hardly ever able to; Poseidon, Star Trek IV? IMPOSSIBLE).

Sometimes when I check a clock for the time, I will instantly forget what time I saw, and have to recheck it. I guess I'm just programmed to reassure myself by looking at clocks?

When I'm a passenger in a car, and there is a spot on the windshield, I will focus on it and move my head so it will dodge around the other cars on the road.

I have more but can't think of them at the moment. Anyone else?

Ha, I do all the things you just mentioned :D

Sorting Animal Crackers:

1. lay out all of the crackers on a clean napkin, single layer o' animals
2. sort by broken/unbroken, throw away broken cookies
3. sort by animal, throw away odds
4. sort by animal group size, eat one of each of the larger sizes until all animal groups are equal
5. eat equal animal groups one animal at a time alphabetically

Eating M&Ms by color category
Talking to my cats - in preference to people because I can usually get a more intelligent response from the cats.

I watch blank TV screens a lot. I can sit in one spot on the couch for around six hours before I have to move to do something else. I'm working on eight.
I also count aloud when I do things. I can't remember what it's called.

I eat M&M in pairs, and the pair has to be the same color. If I can't pair the M&M up to color, I try to pair them up to complimentary colors.

I do those too.

Also, whenever I am in an unfamiliar environment or nervous (and if I don't happen to be preoccupied by anything else), I count things, everything. I count the number of lights (including counting out all of the different types of lights and weather they are burnt out or not) I count floor tiles, stripes on peoples shirts, windows, doors, all of the objects in various decorations (like number of pedals on the flowers on a floral print), etc. Also, I try to memorize all of the values.

I also snap my fingers in increments of 3 5 or 8, and I sometimes breathe in those ratios as well. I also like to twirl anything that I'm holding if it's light. I throw heavier things in an attempt to get them to make one full rotation and to catch them on the same spot I threw them from. If I spin around in any direction I have to spin in the opposite direction by the same amount. I arrange objects to form squares with things at right angles to each other.

I think that's about all I can recall.

That is pretty weird ... I also have this tic where whenever I see straight lines and square corners I imagine them to be curved inwards. So whenever I see anything rectangular I'm imagining it to be distorted.

When I'm in uncomfortable social situations I'll delete text messages on my cell phone, just to make it look like I have something to do. In extreme cases I'll even hold the phone to my ear and pretend to be having a conversation.

Me? Weird things? Wouldn't it be faster to just list the weird things I don't do? For instance, I don't tie all my socks together end to end and use them to make a lasso for rounding up the kids. ... Okay, I do that. Hmm...

I don't jump/climb out of open windows when there are perfectly serviceable doors. ...I do that to. Hmm... This is harder than I thought. *ponders*

Edit: Ooh! I got it! I don't video record Ifreann masturbating to posts on NSG! ...*looks at camcorder in hand* shit!

I also count aloud when I do things. I can't remember what it's called.

The first one is going to be an extremely useful skill when in gainful (but ultimately boring) employment.

The second one will only be useful if said employment either involves NASA, or working for an evil genius in their base.

I feel so left out generally to not have some weird compulsive behaviour...... :tongue:

I do that with jelly beans. Sort 'em by colour, and make sure none of the distorted ones end up in the piles.

Also when people ask me 'when something happened' (ie, when did we play hockey last?) I tend to look at my watch even though it only tells me the current time.

Haha, I think my neighbour might be curious about my doing that, but honestly, it's faster!

I do a fair bit of free-running, which means that I end up spending a lot of time looking at everyday objects and thinking about interesting combinations of ways I could jump off of them/run on top of them. I've nearly missed buses and subways dreaming up the perfect running line...

Also, I'm not sure if this counts, but I switch between languages without knowing it in conversation, which can confuse the fuck out of people who don't speak the same group of languages I do.

I had a teacher who did that. Additional maths is hard enough without your teacher slipping into Romanian in the middle of complicated explainations.

Inside the anime dreams of a few NSGer I think

Odd people.

(Kiddin', ppl. I know you're not a bunch of weirdos. NARF!)


I know what you mean, Fartsni-sama.:wink:

I have to have my wallet, phone, lighter, keys etc in certain pockets in my trousers otherwise I get confused and can't find them when I need them.

I also do that clock thing. I can look at my watch then instantly forget what time it is and have to check it or another one again.

Probably loads of other shit I do.

I think that the weirdest thing that I do is talk to myself.

Most people do that, though.

Crap, I'd go as far as to say damn near everyone does that.

Especially when trying to work something out or similar.

'bout the only time I find someone as inane as me to talk to.

I do that also. But my sister tells me to stop it. Dunno why.

Probably bad when it gets to the degree of constantly muttering to yourself like a crazy person.

Yes, and those talks tend to be intelligent and somewhat enlightening.:tongue:

It can scare people sometimes. They may think you're crazy. I actually think that talking to oneself is actually healthy. But I wear cat ears and I'm 28 years old so...

Yeah, they probably think so. But, weirdness is relative. I once got philosophical during PE class.

They call it fighter pilot syndrome when a guy talks to himself in the cockpit.

Doesn't everyone talk to themselves in the cockpit?

When I learned to fly gliders they'd tape down the transmit button in the rear on first solos, everyone sings an it's very funny to listen in. Apparently I was singing Oasis.

Doesn't everyone talk to themselves in the cockpit?

They tell me that it's a lot more common among instrument pilots as opposed to visual ones.

I sometimes start essays four or five months before they are due in, and usually have them done and handed in at least a week before the due date. Is that weird?

Bloody sensible.

But compared to what the rest of the student population do, it is weird.

:p

Well, physical strain and sweat can make one go philosophical.

Yes, it is. Try talking to me after aerobics or after that delightful thing we all like to do called ''sex''. I know the meaning of life.

I feel the need to wax philosophical.

Odd, for me its when going philosophical that I break into a sweat and physically strain!

Same here actually - it allowed me a lot of time to spend on NSG when I was back in college :p

Nothing like the fatigue one experiences after strenuous, physical diddly-diddling to go philosophical. I'm like that. :p

I had a teacher who did that. Additional maths is hard enough without your teacher slipping into Romanian in the middle of complicated explainations.

I have two other friends who speak Chinese and Spanish, and one other friend who speaks Spanish and Russian. We torture people frequently.

I tend to lick the tip of my nose, when I have to focus very hard.

Has to look pretty stupid, I guess.

I've been told that I twitch when I'm concentrating on things. Also, although I don't particuarly think of this is wierd, though it drives my wife insanse, I always have to take barcode stickers off of things. The first thing I do after we go shopiing is go through and remove all the stickers.

Well, physical strain and sweat can make one go philosophical.

I went philosophic, when some assholes laughed at me.

And you're surprised your posts are fapping material? Woman, get ahold of yourself!:tongue:

I group all my skittles into groups of five (one of each colour), then four, then three, the two, and finally, the singles - which are all, at that point, the same colour. Then I eat all the singles. Then I eat the twos, then threes, then fours, then fives - and while I'm eating those groups, I eat them in the order of preference, least liked to most liked. Therefore, it goes: yellow, green, orange, purple, red. (I had to actually think about that, since I do it on autopilot.)

Oh, any that are misshapen/cracked automatically go in the singles.

Uhm... I check my alarm clock upwards of a dozen times every single night. Every time I shift, I have to reach over and make sure my alarm is set. Paranoia, I suppose.

I cannot leave instant messenger conversations until the other person responds to my "goodnight". So if I say "night", I will literally wait there for half an hour until the other person "night" back. My ex used to keep me up for ages, knowing this. ;)

When I'm eating lifesavers, I can only chew them on the left side of my mouth. God only knows why. Oh, and finally, when I'm thinking, I do the "spirit fingers" thing with my hands - that is, hold them in front of me and wiggle my fingers really quickly. It helps me think, apparently; I actually didn't notice I was doing it until my coworker pointed it out.

since i threw away my television i now find that i enjoy listening to radio static/white-noise while driving and fancy that i'm listening to cosmic background radiation (in addition to the obvious vast amount of anthropogenic noise)...

take out all the big crisps out of my bag pf crisps to save for later

Nothing like the fatigue one experiences after strenuous, physical diddly-diddling to go philosophical. I'm like that. :p

Maybe thats why I haven't been philisophical, or creative, or any of the usual things...


I do a lot of wierd things I'll list a few of them, maybe more later.

I develope compulsive habits seamingly at random. For instance I once needed to scrub every toilet I used.

I can't use another person's bathroom to do anything other than pee.

I tend to stare past people when I talk to them.

I always clean my hands when I even so much as walk into a restroom.

I always wash the dishes in a particular order... Cups, Mugs, Glasses, Plates, Bowls, Silverware, Pans, Pots, and Baking Sheets, I always save crockery for last.

I say out loud what I am typing to people in IMs if I know them in person.

I read, and re-read everything I write, this includes posts on NS.

I tend to rock back and forth without knowing about it.

I sort candies by flavor/color, and then eat them according to how many of each there are.

I also talk to myself, and answer my own questions.

I cannot leave instant messenger conversations until the other person responds to my "goodnight". So if I say "night", I will literally wait there for half an hour until the other person "night" back. My ex used to keep me up for ages, knowing this. ;)


I do that too, unless they log off.

lol!

I remove logos from anything in my hand long enough. I'd like to say this is some sort of rage against the machine, lashing out at branding, but I did it long before I even had a concept of branding and corporate creep. I just do it. Any reason I could give you would be made up, I just do it. Bonus points, it seems, if I can remove the whole label intact.

I also disassemble cardboard boxes into their various parts, first along glue lines then folds.

I roll my socks sideways on my feet (like, press my foot down and push it to my side so the sock will 'spin' around my foot.)

My legs bend backwards. I make use of this often.

I do nothing weird, everyone else is the weird one.

I have more but can't think of them at the moment. Anyone else?

ooh, i do that first one quite often :)

i have to put on my ring the right way round every morning. being circular, there is no 'right' way round, of course... and it makes no difference, but it has to go with the join at the bottom of my finger and with the little arrow-like decorations pointing down the finger, away from my body. i feel like if i don't do that, a) the ring will rotate the wrong number of degrees during the day, and that irritates me; and b) the arrows pointing away from me somehow points bad things (like bad luck) away. i've only had the damn ring 2 years and already i'm quite paranoid about both these things :$

i also hate the sound of clocks ticking. i just can't tune them out... if there's one in the room i'm in, i usually just take it outside into a different room, especially when i'm staying round someone else's house and they have a clock in the spare room. however, i have been known to take the batteries out of them, which often pisses people off cos they have to re-set the time, as well as smashing them up with a hammer (only on our own clocks though!). the fucking ceaseless ticking drives me nuts! :mad:

Everything must be in perfecly straight lines.

Is Bad


Also when eating I allways eat all my veg, then my side food (potatoes/pasta/rice/etc) and then my meat/fish bit. It's more efficent that way. Mixing up foods is stupid.

If I have a food or treat I like I feel the need to share it with everyone who is with me; if I have food and someone else doesn't than I always offer some to them (even though I cannot ordinarily eat or drink after someone). If I buy something like say... Chips Ahoy cookies I will offer them to everyone; but I get annoyed of they take them without me first offering.

Oh yeah, and I split up the contents of snack mixes like chex mix or munchies and eat the pieces seperate of each other...

I approve of this. Have a cookie and a glass of milk. But seperatley.

I rock my head in a VERY obovious way when listening to music without relising it. Like my head goes all the way to the left then to the right and I tune the world out. For some odd reason I can't enjoy music without doing that. I also do it when I lying in bed and thinking about something before going to sleep.

And I USED to. But not anymore. Go like this with my fingers.

10
......8
6
.......4
2
Start with two go to the left,4 go to the right,6 to the left and when
go back to 2 and then go back to ten. I don't know why. But I fell out of
habit eventally.

I converse and with people that aren't there, and will go to extreme lengths to convince people they are, even build entire lives for them, just to convince them that imaginary people, places, and things, exist.

I am unable to sit still. If I'm doing something that involves physical movement, I'm fine, but the moment I am forced to quit moving (studying, watching a movie, in class) I start fidgeting. Most of the time, I play with my drink or a snack, failing that I'll get out a quarter and start walking it across my knuckles, or start taking drumming some pattern out with my fingers (I'm particularly fond of military beats).
It is weirdest if I'm reading on my bed, because then my legs just go nuts and started walking up the walls. At the end of an hour, I might be in a headstand with my feet reaching for the ceiling, or facing the foot of my bed when I started out pointing the other way.

I also talk to myself, and sometimes assign different characters to myself. For instance:
1: I could go out to eat tonight.
2: But we need that money to buy Christmas presents.
1: It wouldn't cost that much to get a nice meal . . .
2: No, but then, since you're already out, you'll stop by a bar and get a few drinks.
3: We really should stay in tonight, to finish off the vodka, cheese and hot sauce in the fridge. With some chips, we could have nachos.
1: But that's what we had last night.
3: And it was good!

Also when people ask me 'when something happened' (ie, when did we play hockey last?) I tend to look at my watch even though it only tells me the current time.

Me too. Also, when somebody asks me for the time after I looked at the watch, I usually have to look again, because I don't seem to save the time information.

I think that the weirdest thing that I do is talk to myself.

Well, or maybe

wearing cat ears...

The other stuff is normal :)

I could be in your dreams, as a giant, black cat ready to pounce and eat you. <.< >.>

Take care, ya'll.

My legs bend backwards. I make use of this often.

Pics or it didn't happen.

There is plenty of weirdness around me, perhaps one of the little things is this.

I can't doubleback onh my self. Say I leave he house and reach the bus stop to find I have no bus pass on me. Turn around and walk the 100 meters back to my house? No way man, cross the road, walk past the house, recross and then back to it.

Yep I'd rather go in a circle than doubleback. Don't know why, it just is.

Well, or maybe

Take care, ya'll.

Yes, I'll admit it. I'm odd.:tongue:

I find people facinating. I have a strange sense of detachment from humanity, like I'm an omniscient observer. If someone interests me enough, I will observe them, analyse them, pick them apart, then destroy them. I do all this without much conscious thought. It just happens. If a person interests me sufficiently I learn everything I can about them. I know their favourite food, their passwords, the directory structure of their website, the colour of their underwear, their daily habits. All this is part of my compulsive analysis and a lead up to my subconscious desire to destroy them.

I eat one thing at a time. I do not mix food. I eat potatoes first, then meat. Then anything else.

I occasionally kill people.

Things with books:

Try to read them backwards out loud.
Draw illistrations that don't make sense.
Try to rip it in the fastest time possible, if it's a book I don't like.
I can't think of any more now. Bye.
