View Full Version : Something u just 'do'
How Do.. As thr title says, but ill elaborate... Is there something u just do without thinking about it..? For instance, if i go to the toilet other than my own that has more then 1 toilet there i wont lift the seat up and find 1 that is already lifted.. Everytime i order a drink i make a point that ' i cant stress enough, diet coke!'
Is there something u do that comes naturally that u dont think about?
:)
lizzmobile 19-05-2006, 14:24 I always go into the most brightly lit loo, and then when I've been in once, I'll go into the same cubicle every time (unless of course it's busy).
WHAT is that?
Is there something u do that comes naturally that u dont think about?
Dont know, never thought about it.
But come to think about it, I always undo my flies before having a wee (Unless I am in the bath), I had never thought of that before.
Cheers *Brian*:thumbsup:
*Twinkle* 19-05-2006, 14:27 Before I got a car, I always used to sit on the same bus seat on my way to school... Heaven forbid anyone else was sat on it :hihi:
Hmmm I'm sure I've got plenty of quirky little ways... I just guess I'm the last to pick up on them, eh :P

Cheers man! That made my afternoon and made me laugh!
Another thing, i always have the same bowl for breakfast! Whats wrong with the other Ryan?:suspect: :hihi:
Totally gross... but when you wipe your botty *ahem* do you screw up or fold up the toilet paper before use?
I'm a screwer :hihi: but I learnt the other day that more than 60% of the population prefer to fold.
So it would seem I'm in the minority. Never even thought about it until I read that particular fascinating 'fact'.
Useing public lavs, i always use the first one as every one seems to avoid that one, most times it's the cleanest.
^^^i do that because its meant to be the most unused, therefore the cleanest.
My most weird thing is i have an order before i go to bed of things i do. I have to get a glass of water make sure the taps turned quite tight as it drips, turn the kettle of at the wall, check the microwaves off at the wall, check the cooker and toasters off at the wall, touch all the nobs on the hob to make sure there all off, then press the ignite (i dont know why, if theres a leak im aware it'd flame up) then touch the fridge and freezer make sure its shut properly. Then i go and check the doors locked and the chains on. I don't think i've got OCD though, lol as if i go to bed and i've forgot to do it i dont have to get up and do it or anything. But most of its just for safety...or am i abit mad?
Oh and i always seem to be checking my handbag for : purse, phone, keys, it drives me barmy, i know there still there, but i have to check! I've got this annoying habit from my mother who has always done it.
In the morning i brush with a whitening toothpaste at night i use total all round scrub followed by some mouthwash! Im such a freak:hihi:

Screwing makes much more sense. You're effectively increasing the surface area of the paper per wipe (ppw, pw^-1).
lizzmobile 19-05-2006, 14:51 sorry, disagree there! You can fold paper up to three times and re-use, I'd bet that it's more economical that way as you can only use it once when screwed up.

Kids :rolleyes:
I have to have the same number locker at the pool every time I go ( 11 ) and I go berserk if someone has taken it.:loopy:
bensonhedges 19-05-2006, 15:28 I can't leave the sink or shower without washing all of the suds away.
*Twinkle* 19-05-2006, 15:28 Lol yeah that reminds me, I always get changed in the same area of the changing rooms @ t'gym... Dont know why... Don't think I'll ever change my ways either!
I always occupy the exact same spot in the middle of the back row during warm ups at Karate.

I used to do Exactly the same Cap, int that strange?
And stand under the same shower head in the showers.
I CANNOT and WILL NOT buy the front or top one of anything!
Whether it be a newspaper, something off the supermarket shelf etc.
Not sure why? Maybe it's a deep rooted fear of everyone else having touched it or, as in the case of supermarkets, automatically go to the back for the more favourable sell-by-dates?
No i don't have OCD, but then again? :help:

I usually do that! particularly in supermarkets but i too reckon thats just a date thing, i always want the latest date.
syko1979 19-05-2006, 16:04 When I'm frghtened two very large flaps on my face open out.
On these flaps there is a patern that, when viewed from more than 5 feet, creates a image of my face whcih is in a slightly aroused pose thus highlighting my full pouting lips.
This hugely disproportionate face is designed to scare away would be attackers and attract females (yes females scare me).

i have a friend with OCD who does the above but normally more than once. i wouldnt worry unless you did it more than twice (like in a row) on a regular basis though.
Swan_Vesta 19-05-2006, 17:55 My borderline OCD driven lifestyle manifests itself in a variety of ways. I used to have to go to the loo before eating my lunch, wash my hands and then have a paper towel in my hand to provide a barrier between my now clean hand and the door handles. I always wipe down toilet seats and wrap a swab of bog paper around the front of the seat to avoid genital contact. When preparing food I look like surgeon scrubbing up pre operation (I do wash the entire of my forearms as well as my hands). I invariably have two showers a day.
As Nick2 once said, I'm in danger of becoming a bit Howard Hughes. Never mind, I've got to be the cleanest bloke I know :D
purdyamos 19-05-2006, 18:48 I scribble all my tasks 'to do' in my diary. Then every day I will write out a list of that day's things to do, from my diary onto a piece of scrap paper. This is handy if I'm out and about for the day, as I don't have to lug a book around. However, If I'm working at home, I'll still do the list and lay it so it's viewable... on top of my closed diary. :help:
Don_Kiddick 20-05-2006, 08:38 It's not without thinking but whenever I come to work I have to wipe surfaces down where I make a drink. I empty the kettle & rinse it out & refill it, wipe the mouse, keyboard & phone with babywipes.
This is because my collegue is a smoker & leaves ash/ tar marks everywhere she goes, and I have a strong suspicion she doesn't wash her hands when she's been to the lav. :gag:
Then there's the skin flakes off her psoriasis.......
EdnaKrabappe 20-05-2006, 11:55 I used to do Exactly the same Cap, int that strange?
And stand under the same shower head in the showers.
This is making me giggle. I'm the same. I favour bay number 3 in the car park, number 69 locker, Like the shower with a seat in it for disabled people as your towel doesn't get spray on it then, like the same cubby hole to put my drink in. I'm very routine like when i go to the gym.
At work we don't have designated parking spaces but i favour the second parking space in from the gate and if i get there a bit later than usual and someone has taken it, I feel a bit disgruntled. We were talking the other day about giving designated spaces but there are more people/cars than spaces available. Usually i'm one of first there so not a problem.
When i used to catch the train to Leeds I had a favourite seat on one of the red trains, the one behind the double seat. It had a heater and was warm during the winter months.
I do unplug things as well, drives people mad but uses lots of energy to leave things on standby. A friend had a fire from a kettle flex so that made me paranoid about leaving stuff like that plugged in.
Going to shut up now before i sound completely loopy.
syko1979 20-05-2006, 12:31 When I went round to my new house yesterday and found that the builder was showing someone round in order to sell his services to them I couldn't stop myself shouting "you idle *******, do you ever do any ACTUAL work".
dynamicdebz 20-05-2006, 12:50 I do the thing with the magazines etc.
Another thing I do which I know is stupid, is I always pull the flush when I go into a bathroom.
I might have gone to wash my hands, have a bath or shower or just to fetch something but I find myself pulling the toilet flush.
As soon as I've done it I think to myself "why did I do that".
I also find myself thanking people when I get out of a lift. WHY?
When I'm watching a good show on TV, I have a sudden urge to clap like the audience, foretunately I usually stop myself in time to stop myself looking a right twit.

:lol: i do that with tv shows too and OH always look at me funny, i get excited too easily :hihi:
I always go for the second magazine cos people usually had their grubby hands on first one flicking through it (im a culprit on that sometimes :D) and i always have one with no creases or rips and let the junk leaflets slide out of the mag:hihi:
When making tea it has to be sugar, teabag, water then milk!
Always go for diet coke or pepsi max.
Always put the toilet lid down at home as (if you believe in it) when you flush you dont flush all your fortunes away.
It was pointed out to me i always seem to take the right side of the bed whereever i am. No idea why?
Always put deodorant on and perfume before i go out. Put my watch on or im lost without it. It was agony when my watch battery went dead so i had to borrow one of the doormans watch for the night :D Looked massive on my wrist :hihi:
Never leave home without my cetirizine tablets or my adreneline

I use leaves to wipe mi batty! :gag:
I suck my thumb *drops head in shame and embarrasment* I only do it when im tired,but have found my thumb in my gob in some very innapropriate situations :(
Dont know, never thought about it.
But come to think about it, I always undo my flies before having a wee (Unless I am in the bath), I had never thought of that before.
Cheers *Brian*:thumbsup:
Ya dint when ya peeed ya sen in dinno club :hihi:
*Twinkle* 21-05-2006, 09:38 When I used to work at a cafe, I used to park in the same place every day! ~ Giving evils to anyone who got there before me! lol! It was my extra special place cos it was wider than the rest as it had a disabled bay at one side :)
When parking up normally, I'll drive around for a little while looking for a "Drive through" place... No, not a maccy D's, lol, I mean two parking spaces, one infront of the other, so that I can drive straight out when I return to my car :hihi: I'm much happier that way! :D

I've started to do that, only because my parkings atrocious though!
*Twinkle* 22-05-2006, 10:19 I've started to do that, only because my parkings atrocious though!
Mine's sheer laziness... Its far too much hassle to reverse :hihi: I like to get in the car and then just drive off :P aaah!
Another strange thing I do is first thing in a morning, before I get out of bed, I curl myself up into a ball but putting my knees to my chest... I have no idea why, it just feels good! :hihi:
GothicCharm 22-05-2006, 10:29 I always sit next to a fire escape on the bus

I had a friend in London who actually does that and gets all excited. The number of times she's been thrown a fish, I cannot tell you!
*Twinkle* 22-05-2006, 10:31 I always sit next to a fire escape on the bus
Lol my cousin used to do this when we were little! :P I bet he still does aswell :P
GothicCharm 22-05-2006, 10:32 I also always look behind me when I'm crossing a road... I've never known why... I probably look like a right freak lol!
I always sit next to a fire escape on the bus
Wouldn't recommend that in a plane crash! :hihi:
I always look to see if theres cars coming on a one way round! Im a freak! :(
GothicCharm 22-05-2006, 10:39 I always look to see if theres cars coming on a one way round! Im a freak! :(
*jumps about with hand in air* i do that
when im out shopping and people stop in the middle of the street gossoping and blocking the way i shout, "of all the bloody ignorant gits,theres plenty of room at the side,you dont have to block off the pavement" this usually gets me some strange stares but it usually clears the path and it gives other shoppers a laugh
*jumps about with hand in air* i do that
Haha cool! Its weird you keeping lookin for cars to come, but if they do, they gon crash! :hihi: :|
GothicCharm 22-05-2006, 10:44 lol depoix i can imagine
I always look to see if theres cars coming on a one way round! Im a freak! :(
I do this and im not a freak :D
GothicCharm 22-05-2006, 10:48 Haha cool! Its weird you keeping lookin for cars to come, but if they do, they gon crash! :hihi: :|
whats weird is when I look behind me when I cross the road... like a cars gonna come and run me over from the pavement?! :confused:
The Human being is a creature of habit.......
When I make my tea,I stir it 10 times clockwise and 10 times anticlockwise.Dont know where I picked this up and I have tried stopping but just cant.Weird aint it:confused:
GothicCharm 22-05-2006, 11:38 every time i butter bread i smooth it on and then spread it with the other side of the knife..
Sheff Chick 22-05-2006, 12:07 I have a habit of washing my hands before and after going to the loo, I also pull the door to check its locked and flush before and after Ive used it.
I also always carry tissues with me and prefer to use my own rather than pub loo roll. :loopy:
I do this and im not a freak :D
Says who exactly?:hihi: :P
it all sounds a bit like OCD to me folks, most people have a little OCD hiding in us all.
I always try driving without me glasses most days when i'm on the morning shift at work.
Then have to run in the house to get them.
God help the people of Sheffield if i broke me glasses and had to drive to the opticians. :hihi:
Sheff Chick 22-05-2006, 12:15 My work colleagues tease me as I have an obsession with Bleach,
I bleach absolutely everything. I bleach my kitchen floor at least 3x per day (I have a dog) I bleach all my cutlery every 2 weeks and bleach my cups every 2 days.
I dont think that this is strange but my work mates disagree with me! :confused:

that much bleach can't be good for you or the enviroment
funkymiss 22-05-2006, 12:49 I'm a bit scared...:shocked:

:o my mom:D

you definately need to calm down on the bleach, that aint normal - the floor i can understand but you dont need to bleach your cups every 2 days, that is obsessive

Theres nothing like motherly love is there:thumbsup:

:)
I make an effort to spell and punctuate correctly.
I tend to look on peoples left hand to see if they are married or not. Strange! :huh:
In the pub i always go to the same loo, and i always wipe the seat before i sit on it! I always put my make-up on in the same routine too.
I am sure that I (like other people) have some strange routines, but because I do them without thinking - I don't know what they are - maybe I need others to tell me what I do that's weird!
I'm deffo not guilty with the bleach, one bottle lasts me ages!
I am beginning to think I am strange, I can't think of anything wierd I do or do anything in any particular order. :confused: Except when I'm sometimes doing things on a computer like importing data, I go through the actions and say words in my head.Like...data view...file...import...mail format etc. I don't know why but just seems to be my way of remembering how to do things. Other than that I go to any toilet, pick up any magazine and park in any spot. :loopy:
I open loo doors with my elbows or a tissue covering the handle. I hate the feeling of touching them with my bare hands because of people who don't wash their hands after a wee or a poop.
And I have an old chickenpox scar on my head hidden under all my big hair that I scratch when feeling a little sad.
JBee - I am a folder of the loo paper.
Minesadouble 28-09-2006, 13:32 I'm afraid my house has to be tidy and all pots washed before I leave it ....Sad yes :rolleyes:
Loopy < OCD - OH Yes !!!! :loopy:
Sugar_Kiss 28-09-2006, 14:04 I CANNOT and WILL NOT buy the front or top one of anything!
Whether it be a newspaper, something off the supermarket shelf etc.
Not sure why? Maybe it's a deep rooted fear of everyone else having touched it or, as in the case of supermarkets, automatically go to the back for the more favourable sell-by-dates?
No i don't have OCD, but then again? :help:
same here!! i have to have one from the back, its fresher lol
CockneyMafia 28-09-2006, 15:03 Whenever I walk past a woman, the first thing that flashes into my head is what it would be like to have sex with them in the 'doggy' position.
Unfortunately, this happens with ANY woman, so you imagine it gets quite distressful at times.
I thought this was rather odd, but apparently it is a deep rooted instinctive human reaction which stems back to cave dwelling times.
The theory goes something like this.
When a man sees another man the first things he weighs up is
1.can I fight them?
When a man sees another woman, the first thing he weighs up is
3.can I have sex with them?
I am not sure what a gay man would think though?
I really am drifting off on a tangent here.
summer1955 28-09-2006, 20:20 when i make a cup of tea its always teabag, sugar, milk then water but when i do coffee its always sugar coffee water then milk.
when i go to a public toilet i alway wipe the seat first.
i do the same thing every morning when i wake. go and have a wee, wash get dressed turn on computer go downstairs open curtains give my late hubbys photo a kiss and say goodmorning to him then i go into kitchen make a cuppa tea dunk 6 biscuits leave the tea to cool while i let dogs outside.then i drink my tea feed the cats and then go on computer for about half an hour or so depends if its a weekday or weekend

fnkysknky 28-09-2006, 23:41 Only habits that I have are breathing and blinking that I'm aware of.
glittery 29-09-2006, 21:57 that bleach thing is certainly worrying.....please could you try and do it less? You're just making your home environment worse by helping to bread superbugs and oh yeah destorying the planet. If you insist on using so much cleaning product use ecover as their stuff is much kinder to you and the green planet we are looking after for the next generation
