Strange Habits

[milly143]

What strange habits do you have?

My top 3 are:

1) When I change the volume on the TV it always has to be on an even number. I hate it if it doesn't show a number.
2) I always put exactly £20 worth of petrol in my car, even if I am paying by card so it wouldn't matter if there was a bit extra there.
3) Every time I open a can of drink I tap the top 3 times. I have no idea if it's just a myth about it not fizzing up, I just do it.

Obsessive–compulsive disorder comes to mind.

[milly143]

Quite. I just wish I was obsessive about doing the ironing or hoovering. You know, the useful, non-mental things. :o)

[andy-hughes]

Although right-handed, I peel oranges with my left hand.

I always put a round figure in pounds when fueling up - for no good reason at all.

I scratch my back just under my right shoulder blade because I have a patch of psoraiasis there that itches. I scratch so much and so hard that it wears a hole in my shirts eventually, and they have to be binned, even though they are not worn anywhere else.

I never completely finish a cup of coffee or tea: always leave about a mouth-full.

[micmak]

I always open packets upside down.

[woofgang]

I talk to myself....i only worry about it when I don't know what i am going to hear.

[mike11111]

That must be uncomfortable, having to stand on your head every time you open a packet.

[ummmm]

I do that Stewey....cannot finish it.

I always even up petrol as well...

Loads of little things I do that I'm not really aware of. Usually gets pointed out to me..

[milly143]

ha ha, you're an odd lot. Especially Woofgang.

I also have the two chip rule. Always make sure I leave two chips on my plate. I don't know why.

[lumination]

i have one which drives my boyfriend crazy and is quite strange.
if i go to sleep with clean hair, for example i have washed it that day then i sleep with the pillow opening facing right. if my hair is 'dirty', so i will have washed it yesterday morning, then i turned the pillow over so the pillow opening is facing the left side.
no idea why, makes me feel better.

[mazie]

I have to have sandwiches cut into quarters otherwise I can't eat them
I cant read a creased newspaper.

[ummmm]

I can't read a newspaper sitting down....

[mazie]

doesn't that make your arms ache ummmm ?

[ummmm]

No....I read it on the kitchen work surface...standing up.
