Chewblaha Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 So I don't know about you all and shit, but I do weird stuff without realizing it until I do. Then I keep doing it. On tiled floor, I like to move like a knight would on a chess set. I either move up the one and horizontal for the two or vice versa. I have it down so well here in my house that you'll actually think I'm dancing at times because I spin when I get to my next step. That's fucked.

TheMightyEthan Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I don't move like a knight on tile, but I do still try to avoid stepping on cracks. I won't go much out of my way to do it, but I will adjust my step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dee Posted January 8, 2011 Report Share Posted January 8, 2011 I have to move my legs or rock at night to sooth this irritation/weird tingling sensation in the middle of my spine. It's weird and I've done it since I can remember. I'm usually also moving a leg, bouncing it up and down for instance, if I'm sitting.

SixTwoSixFour Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I generally do a lot of spins and contortions while moving, spinning on heel as opposed to turning gradually. I often chew toothpicks, especially at work, where they are plentiful. I also have some very strange gestures that mean "thank you" and "after you" and that sort of thing (not THAT strange, just not... what most people are used to, I guess)- my coworkers have them downpat, but whenever someone new gets hired, it takes them a week or two to figure out what the fuck I'm doing.

Chewblaha Posted January 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 I, too, spin on my heels only. If someone calls my name, I don't turn my head, I turn my torso. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTF Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I always have to lock the car twice. Hopefully it's not onset OCD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercurial Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I like to stepped on the colored tiles if there are any and certain types of plastic just bug the shit out of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorgiShinobi Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I don't do it often, but I too move on tile/squares like a knight and avoid cracks. I've recently picked up clicking, probably due to Fantastic Mr. Fox. Other times I'll make a "nothankyou.jpg" face if I think about something undesirable. At work, I get coworkers asking what the eff is wrong, and that's when I realize I expressed my thought "outloud." Oh, but I will talk to myself most often. I don't really think it's "talking to yourself" if you're not referring to yourself. To me, I'm just thinking outloud. I have to have some noise, and so my thoughts are vocalized.

Mr. GOH! Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I sing nonsense syllables interspersed with random sentences about what I'm thinking or doing. I can get quite loud. I only do this when I'm alone or when I'm intoxicated in very, very comfortable company. I've seriously startled roommates whom I thought were gone with my abrupt nonsense songs while going about chores or my routine or just puttering around the apartment. I guess sometimes I just feel exuberant and need to express myself or something. Or perhaps I'm going mad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it must be the house and trance music I've listened to, but I'll have a phrase in my head that I'll sing, repeat, and then expound upon. I really only do this at work because 1) It can be really slow and 2) No one can hear me sing, even if I'm loud. I haven't done this in a while, probably because there's more interesting people to talk to at work now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a pretty strong voice as it is and when I sing it just gets louder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirandello Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) I eat just about anything in one bite. Or as many big bites they can fit into. My parents and relatives have constantly asked me why I eat so fast. Most of the time, I don't even realize I eat that fast. Likewise, it pisses me off when somebody takes forever to eat something. Like that stupid punk-ass munchkin in 7th grade that took 17 bites to eat a fucking chip that was 2 inches in diameter.

Cybronx Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 (edited) Whenever I wash my hands before eating, I have to hold them in front of my face surgeon style, and if I touch anything exactly before eating I have to start over. I have no idea why. Maybe it's because I was diagnosed with OCD. Edited January 27, 2011 by Cybronx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kau_Kau Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 my hands need to be clean before touching food. Also I do things in 3, 5, 7, or 10. So if i drink some water it'll be in gulps of 5 or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enervation Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Whenever I wash my hands before eating, I have to hold them in front of my face surgeon style, and if I touch anything exactly before eating I have to start over. I have no idea why. Maybe it's because I was diagnosed with OCD. You sure you don't have a surgeon alter ego or something? Maybe his mind is bleeding into yours! As for me, I have a penchant to blow my nose... anywhere. And I have a crazy obsession with washing my hands whenever they feel filthy. They don't even need to BE filthy, all I have to do is think they are and I have an urge to wash them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thursday Next Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 All volumes must be even numbers and/or multiples of five. When out in restaurants I always stack the menus the right way up before handing the pile back to the waiter / waitress. I flinch if they pick them up and some are upside down or rotated through 180 degrees or what have you. My friends know this and will purposely mis-stack menus and refuse to let me have them so as to annoy me. I also stack plates when everyone has finished eating and always return emptie glasses to the bar when getting a round in or leaving. That last one is because I used to live in a pub. When in the UK this is normally acknowledged by the staff, but not considered "odd". When I did this in a restaurant in America the manager (who happened to be serving our table) asked me if I wanted a job. I'm not 100% convinced he was joking.

TheMightyEthan Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 I don't think it's weird so much as just that most people don't do it. I mean, so it's weird in the literal sense of "not normal", but people wouldn't think you were weird for doing it, they just wouldn't expect you to do it either.
