Everyone has little strange things about them or what they do and I like those little things about people. What are some of yours?
One of mine, I watch about 5 documentaries a day with the majority of them, recently, being about meth.

"Little" strange? I have brownish hair but my beard is reddish. What the hell is up with that? I'm afraid to have any children, since, ginger-ness might be in my genes and they might end up being gingers, and, as everyone knows, gingers have no souls. :(

It's very common for men with brown hair to have red beards, my brother has medium brown hair and has a reddish beard, whilst I have dark brown hair and a dark brown beard with some blond hairs, although I've never really grown my facial hair out to know what my beard actually looks like. Most of my relatives are dark-haired, but there were a few redheaded relatives a few generations back.

I pick up every piece of paper that I find in public places and often keep them, even if it's some random person's grocery list. And I also collect random things I find by the side of the road, even if I have no idea what the hell they actually are.
I shouldn't even start, because there's a lot of weird things about me.

I always eat the same dish at restaurants. Once I find something I like, I just won't 'risk' trying something new when hungry. In Stockholm and other familiar places, I can luckily eat at home or alternate restaurants, but..
If I'm in a strange city, this become much more obvious and monotonous, as I also tend to use the same restaurant for my entire stay. For example when I'm at the CWI summerschool in Belgium for week, I'll eat a small durum kebab at the same joint, every day - sometimes twice.
The people making the food must think I'm a major league weirdo. I also have other strange qualities but I'll have to think a bit.

I had a small hemangioma removed from the back of my head yesterday at the doctor's office.
Funny story: I was nervous that when they gave me the numbing shots on the back of my head that they were going to push it too far, so to see if I still had my memory the first thing I thought of was to recite the Internationale's english lyrics in my head.

I do something similar. Whenever I go to a restaurant that serves burgers I always get some kind of burger. I'm not really afraid of trying new stuff, I just really like them.
I can't stand silence when I'm around other people (unless we're watching a movie or something). Sometimes I'll just say whatever pops into my head to break the silence, and a lot of the time it just ends up being really weird.

I do this too. When I find a food that I really like on a menu, every time I go to that place I'll have the same food because I worry that if I order anything else, it won't be as good and I'll be disappointed.
Hmm, a strange thing about me... I watch Star Trek pretty much every night because it helps my anxiety and I really enjoy being a nerd about it because I can look for and get all the references to other episodes. Maybe it's not that strange, but most of the other strange things I do are mental health related.

And i drink about 1,5 to 2 litres of (diet) coke a day (no coffee!).

All of the above. I've found a support group:blink:! When out on the bike I have to turn around to identify stuff. If someone's on the street passing out handbills, or whatever, I have to have one; and if the situation is reversed, and someone refuses something from me I'm dumbfounded and think they are defective.

Ayah, this is the same with me. I'm going to try and stop in February, though, because it's really unhealthy (also the cans get all over my desk because I clean up only occasionally).
For whatever reason I usually hold my arm as if it were broken when I'm walking (as if it were in a sling, across my chest). It just feels really, really uncomfortable to have it hanging at my side.

Well I recently told my kinky story over here if it helps.
After me and my ex broke up (long story, maybe I'll make another post about it) I asked her to help me meet up with a girl that I had seen in school but was never able to talk to for more than three seconds (we never had a class or common friends so we just said hi to eachother while in the hallway). So after a bit of nudging she agreed and the three of us went to the park together. Oh and for the sake of visualization, both of them are short skinny Chinese and I'm a caucasian male (transwoman but I'm not out of the closet so I look like your average run of the mile male). You might think it's a bit weird that I tell you that now but I think it helps to visualize the whole thing
So we went to one of my ex's childhood playgrounds to meet up and at first it was really nice. The girl that she's helping me with, Lisa, is a really cute petite girl with muscular legs from swiming but a rather feminie frame throughout the rest of her body and she has the sweetest smile. So we're talking about our childhoods and playing on the swingsets until we start walking back to my ex's house and my ex mad the conversation take a turn for the creepy. My ex started to go on about what she would do to Lisa if she could lock her up in her basement. She went into very explicit details about giving Lisa the whole whips and chains experience (my ex is a pretty hardcore BDMS girl, the guy she cheated on me with wanted to circumcise her and she consented but luckily it didn't happen, again long story for another time) and I said that I'd give Lisa cupcakes if she was ever in my basement. Lisa didn't know about my fetish but my ex did so as soon as I said that my ex burst into laughter. Lisa being the little doll she is didn't understand my ex's laughter and sweetly said with a smile "that sounds fun, can I have chains too?" The best part about it was that we never even brought up fetishism at all, everything was just spontaneous curiosity and maybe a but more on her behalf.
So when we got to my ex's house we went straight for my ex's room (Her name is Kaixi by the way). Lisa was a bit curious about the stockpile of BDMS stuff she had in her house so we went upstairs to my ex's room my ex tied her hands back with a rope and taped her mouth with some lovely BDMS tape my ex got at a NYC sex store, and I have to tell you the smile in Lisa's eyes as her mouth was all taped up was the most precious thing I've ever seen. But unfortunately we couldn't take her to my ex's basement and have any more fun because my ex's parents were home. And unfortunately the both of them were going to China soon after so we couldn't have any further fun till at least august fifth. But the later that night me and my ex were talking on facebook and we hatched up an idea. It was a nefarious plan but one of the best plans that I have ever hatched yet.
After they both came back from China, Kaixi and I invited Lisa to come over to my neighborhood. We started off by going to a lake community near by my neighborhood and watching the sunset reflect off the water and later we took a hike in the local woods. It was a bit muddy from the rain so I ended up carrying both of them over a couple rivers and puddles but she enjoyed the scenery and I ended up taking alot of good pictures with her. But by the end of it Lisa was really hungry. When we left the woods she asked me "Are we going to eat soon?" and Kaixi replied "Oh yes, trust me you'll be stuffed". In her adorably innocent fashion, Lisa replied "good, I like being stuffed". Me and Kaixi both looked at each other and smiled without a word as we walked back to my house.
When we got to my door I put a blindfold over her eyes and my ex tied her hands behind her back and her legs. I carried her in my arms down to my basement where I tied her to a chair and force feed her cupcakes. What I didn't realize is that without your hands it is very difficult to eat something a bit bigger than your mouth so I had to help her a wee bit by pushing the cupcakes in a little. Though throughout the entire experience crumbs fell all over her shirt and needless to say it was cute as hell. She was like a little kitten with a milk mustache, except with crumbs and all over the place instead of just on her mouth.
After that not much interesting happened. We watched The Orphan and my ex confessed how much she wanted to fuck the main antagonist (my ex is also bi). Even I have to admit that while I wouldn't go that far I have to say that I sympathize with her a bit since she is really pretty, despite being kinda young in the movie. The next day I went out on a date with Lisa which went quite well, but unfortunately we weren't able to form a relationship because she got Leukemia soon afterwards. Ah well

When i was a bit younger (teen) i was always afraid to miss anything on the radio. I'd listen to the radio as often as i can, but still when i was listening to one station i was always thinking what i was missing on the other stations.
Shit spooked me! I was up listening to the radio till about 2 am, even when i had to go to school early the next day.
When i grew up i sort of grew over it, but it's a bit freightning that it's coming back a little.

I always have to have 4 writing implements on my desk at school. It changes based on the sort of desk I'm at/how long the pencil trays are, etc. Right now we just use tables and there are no pencil trays so I just have 4 and put them wherever. 1 blue pen (I always use the one that I bit the end off and taped it back on), 1 mechanical pencil, 1 regular pencil, and 1 highlighter. I used to have to have 6, or sometimes 8, and I would always have to line them up a particular way and I would only pair certain colors on the mechanical pencils with one another and I used to get laughed at for it. Even a little bit by teachers

lol! I mostly use the same pen. Not one alike, but the one with the clip broken off, the crack in the shaft and the plastic point (where the tip emerges) which my in-laws' dog chewed on. I have about twenty more of the same pens, even with the same print! But still...
I'm kinda particular in everything. At work i had been issued a toolcart, filled with tools. My collegue has the same cart, with the same tools.
I know all particulars about my tools. If someone switches a screwdriver, i get anoyed and will not rest until it's switched back. Seriously hard while taking care that noone figures out my quirk.
Shit, i even mark the spraycans i use with my initials! (i'm seriously not using someone else's!)

I have to do everything symmetrically, it gets really annoying. If I'm out and about, for example, and I step on a crack between tiles, a grate, a textured tile, a yellow line, etc., with one foot, I have to tread on it with the other foot too. When I was younger and I used to play the Sims I would always build symmetrical houses and decorate each room symmetrically :lol:

Food: When I am cooking something, like soup or some other thing that comes in a small can, I will just eat out of the dish I cooked it in instead of placing it in a bowl. In addition to this I will use small dishes forcing as much food as I can into that small space; I just think it is more psychologically comforting to have all my meal in a easily moveable space than have it be in a larger space.
Life: I often live life as a kind of meta-game where everything as some kind of consequence or reward. It is odd but it helps me get through some things and make it seem like everything isn't static or pointless, that I am accomplishing something.

When i'm nervous i keep blinking and squeezing my eyes...
I have something called BFS, one manifestation of which is that the little muscles around my eyes are regularly 'active' and twitch away - if I'm nervous it gets much worse, so bad sometimes that I can't focus. Fortunately it doesn't last forever and eventually runs out of 'puff' on any given day.
Drinking alcohol helps reduce the twitching, though it's not exactly a medically recommended 'solution'.

Have you ever had a particularly bad experience from not looking at what you're eating?
I've had a couple bad experiences, but one stands prominently above the rest - and I wasn't even looking away when it happened. I was a child in elementary school, and back then my mom would pack a thermos of hot chocolate with my lunch during the fall and winter seasons to keep me warm. One day, I noticed that my hot chocolate contained several white smallish objects. Thinking they were marshmallows I swiftly and happily drank the entire thing down. After school I commented on the marshmallows to my mom, who grew kinda alarmed because "That hot chocolate mix didn't have marshmallows..."
Turns out the mix contained maggots. Ever since that incident I haven't been able to not watch what I'm eating. If it looks even the tiniest bit suspicious I don't eat it.

Having grown up in a finnish immigrant community in Stockholm I speak (grammatically correct) swedish with a finnish accent, despite being grown up here in sweden. People point it out all the time, especially customers at work, after for some reason first asking where in finland I come from.
If I say I'm from stockholm they will gasp and ask why I have such an accent. Now, I was told when I was like 4-5 myself that such comments are extremely inaporopriate, which they are, and become furious. Day ruined really.
For this reason I've just started lying and saying that I'm from where my parents come from in Finland. Keeps the adrenalin level down but I can't say I like it.

That is exactly how I clap! I used to clap normally, but I found the clapping-sound too soft so I looked for ways to clap harder. This is what I came up with. I can now clap the hardest of all my friends and family. Quite an accomplishment, if I may say so.

But now that i'm older it kinda sucks. My two front teeth are in a small angle instead of inline. And one of my canine is a bit to the front because the teeth aside of it are too close together.
As a teen i realised i had weird teeth so i never smiled with my lips apart. That resulted in a really weird smile. More of a grimace really. Only a few years back i started to smile 'regularly'.
Now that i'm 31 i am still painfully aware of me smiling and showing teeth. Takes away a big deal of the fun when smiling...

I'm pretty good at completely avoiding pop culture that doesn't interest me. I've never read any of the Harry Potter books, not even a single page from them. I've never seen any of the Twilight movies, not even for five minutes. I've never exposed myself to anything involving Pokemon--never played one of the video games, never watched one of the TV shows or movies, never read one of the books or mangas (I had to look Pokemon up on Wikipedia to even write that sentence as I didn't exactly know what was involved with it). I didn't know the Super Bowl was happening until late yesterday after it was already finished, and I still don't know which team won it, or even which teams were playing in it (and I don't care to know either).

1) I collect jade.
2) I own a fairly large collection of right-wing literature.
3) There are few calibers of firearms that I haven't shot at least once. It used to be that I'd never shot a .50, but I accomplished that a couple years ago.
4) I've visited every continental US state.
5) According to IMDb, I've seen somewhere in the neighborhood of 500 horror films.

I need a social life, clearly :crying:
I experience something similar (the crying part). I can overwhelm myself emotionally to the point of tears if there's super epic/inspirational music playing in my head. Couple that with some mundane task (such as walking) or imagining a really powerful scene in my head, and I'm a wreck.

I had eaten that way for about twenty years when my girlfriend pointed it out.

Always was a righty. As an adolescent i have made an enormous amount of jokes of me being 'extremely right'. I just vote left.

Placing Flatware
setting a table
seven basic rules
Flatware is laid on the table in the order of use. A placement that starts on the outside of the place setting and moves inward toward the plate. Flatware is never laid on the table according to size.
Because the majority of people are right-handed, the knife and spoon are laid on the right side of the place setting and the fork on the left. The left-handed diner reverses the placement.
With an uneven number of people are seated, the oddnumbered place settings are laid opposite the middle of the even-numbered place settings.
The lower edges of the utensils are aligned with the bottom rim of the plate, about 1 inch up from the edge of the table.
To avoid hiding a utensil under the rim of a plate or bowl, lay it approximately 1 inch away from the side.
To eliminate fingerprints on the handle, hold flatware by the "waist," the area between the handle and the eating end of the utensil.
Fork tines may be placed downward, continental style, or upward, American style. In the continental placement of flatware, the fork is laid on the table in the way it is held, tines downward. In the American style although the fork is used tines downward to cut food, it is held tines upward to eat, and the fork is laid on the table tines upward.
dinner knife
The dinner knife is laid to the right of the plate, with the blade facing the plate.
At an informal meal, when salad is served as a side dish with the main course, the dinner knife is used to cut both salad and the main course. But at a posh event, if salad is served after the main course to clear the palate for dessert, and the salad is composed of thick-veined greens, a salad fork is laid next to the dinner plate, and an extra dinner knife is laid to the left of the regular dinner knife. At a formal affair, when a knife is needed for the salad course, it is presented to the diner on a tray.
fish knife and fish fork
The fish knife and fish fork are placed on the table in the order of use. When fish is served as an appetizer course, the fish knife is laid to the right of the dinner knife and the fish fork to the left of the dinner fork. But if fish is served as the main course, the fish knife is placed to the right of the dinner plate and the fish fork is laid to the left of the plate.
dessert fork and dessert spoon
The dessert fork and dessert spoon (or dessert knife), are placed differently at formal and informal affairs. At a formal event, the dessert fork is laid on the left side of the plate, and the dessert spoon (or knife) is placed on the right side of the plate. The diner lays the utensils on the table in respective order.
At an informal meal, when two utensils are provided for dessert, the utensils are laid on the table or presented on the dessert plate. The dessert spoon (or dessert knife) is laid on the table above the dinner plate in a horizontal position, handle facing right. The dessert fork is laid beneath the dessert spoon (or dessert knife), handle facing left. The dessert utensils may also be presented on the dessert plate in the same way as formal service.
fruit knife and fruit fork
The fruit knife and fruit fork are presented on the fruit plate in the same way as dessert utensils.
butter spreader
The butter spreader is laid on the bread-and-butter plate at formal luncheons and all informal meals but is not used at a formal dinner held in a private residence.
At a formal luncheon or informal meal, the butter spreader is laid on the bread-and-butter plate in one of three positions: horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. In the horizontal placement, the butter spreader is laid across the top edge of the breadand-butter plate, parallel with the edge of the table, an alignment that repeats the parallel arrangement of stemware. The vertical placement of the butter spreader echos the perpendicular alignment of flatware. The diagonal placement reiterates stemware aligned at an angle. Although the way the butter spreader is placed on the bread-and-butter plate is a matter of choice, the important point is keep the alignment the same for the entire table setting.
soup spoon
The soup spoon is placed on the right of the outside knife.
teaspoon
The teaspoon, after-dinner coffee spoon, and demitasse spoon are placed on the saucer behind the cup handle. The spoon handle faces the diner in a four o'clock position, ready for use. But when a teaspoon is used as an eating utensil, such as cereal at breakfast, it is laid on the right side of the place setting.
iced-beverage spoon
The iced-beverage spoon is laid on the table on the right side of the glass. But once used it is not returned to the table. Instead, the iced-beverage spoon is held in the glass while drinking.
seafood fork
The seafood fork is laid on the right side of the soup spoon. It is the only fork placed on the right side of the place setting. The fork tines are placed in the bowl of the soup spoon with the handle at a 45-degree angle. It may also be laid next to the soup spoon in a parallel position.
salad fork
The salad fork is laid on the table in the order of progression. When salad is a first course, the salad fork is laid to the left of the dinner fork. If salad is served after the main course, the salad fork is placed to the right of the dinner fork.
number of utensils laid on the table
The number of utensils laid on the table initially is determined by the number of courses.
Regardless of the number of courses served, and when the utensils are placed on the table, the cover is always laid with a knife and fork. The exception is when soup is the main course, then only a soup spoon is needed.
multi-course meals
A place setting for a multi-course meal, notably a formal dinner, is crowded with flatware and stemware; to alleviate clutter, no more than three knives, three forks, and a soup spoon are laid on the table initially.
For example, at a sixcourse meal with three appetizer courses, such as soup, fish, and pate, plus a main course, salad, and dessert, three forks and knives are laid on the table initially, one for fish, another for pate, and a third for the main course, plus a soup spoon. The seafood fork is laid on the right side of the cover, if appropriate. When salad is served, the salad fork is presented to the diner on a small tray. The dessert utensils are presented on the dessert plate.

as for why its a "woman thing" its prob because bare and smooth skin is synonymous with sexual themes and while its appropriate to caress and oggle at women's leg its unimaginable to do so to men. in short gendered sexual objectification.
on this note i hope to start waxing soon cos as YABM will see shaving hurts :scared:

something weird about me, i indent alot and prefer my sentences to be short and almost pictured? if that maeks sense to anyone... words appearing together more solidly and clustered like a picture? as opposed to line after line in a paragraph ex.
Like: quotes, subtitles, headlines, sentences, maxims
Dislike: paragraphs, pages

Haha exactly. I actually found out about an app for smart phones that seems pretty cool (https://www.zombiesrungame.com/). Stupid market, I want it but I want it for free. It is such a good idea for nerds like me to get more running motivation.

Waxing really hurts (although it's supposed to get less painful the more you do it). When I was younger I tried to wax under my arms and made them bleed. Ouch.
I'm surprised anyone would think "wow, shaving is so awesome, why is it only women who do this?" because shaving was always a big inconvenience to me and I only did it because I was afraid of other people's opinions. Maybe it's because you're doing it because it's something you want to do, as opposed to something you feel you have to do that you don't think it sucks.

I always feel the need to drive with the windows down, even if it's below freezing out. When I was younger, I'd never let my mom put the windows down while I was in the car with her because it hurt my ears, especially when I was trying to listen to music.

I have this weird phobia-kind-of-thingy where i am afraid my heart will stop or something.
It was way worse in my teens. I'd lay awake for hours listening to and feeling my heartbeat. I was terribly afraid to die (still am a bit). And when afraid of heartfailure, listening to your heartbeat isn't really working out. It started when my aunt (actually one of my uncles' girlfriend) died from cancer. I'd cry a lot over not wanting to die. I probably drove my mom crazy. It became even worse when my uncle (Mom's brother, but not the same) had a heart-attack.
"Wow, was that...nah...oh shit, that was a missed beat...or wasn't it. Is it normal now? What IS normal, anyways? It feels like it's pounding a bit harder now...or was it too soft earlier..."
Shit like that.
Got over it a bit, but last night it was back. So tired, but unable to sleep...
Hopefully i tired myself out enough in the gym tonight to go into a coma immediatly.

Everyone has little strange things about them or what they do and I like those little things about people. What are some of yours?
One of mine, I watch about 5 documentaries a day with the majority of them, recently, being about meth.
I sometimes yell at the T.V. only to realize later that Bill o'reilly and Rachel Maddow can't hear my seething remarks through the television.

I write like no one else I know and I have a callus on my ring finger from that. I hold my fingers weirdly.
I can also do something with my eyes that makes people go "ugh" and I actually don't know what I'm doing.
Also, I haven't cut my fingernails for some 8 years now because I bite them to a certain line.

i have an obsession with the numbers two and three. multiples of two are evil, multiples of three are good. multiples of six are supreme evils since they are an evil (2x) disguised as a good (3x). this system of numerical morality permeates nearly every facet of my life.
i am very attuned with bodily symmetry. if i'm walking down a sidewalk and step on a crack with my left foot, i HAVE to step on the next crack with my right foot, in the exact same spot on my right as it was on my left. if i'm off even a little, i have to repeat the off-step with my left foot, then attempt the correct-step with my right. i've gotten into loops this way that have gone longer than 10 unique steps i have to reproduce before i stop walking, take a breath, and very deliberately walk each step until all known iterations are accounted for.
i was horrible at math all through school, but now that i'm out of school i find myself solving things in my head that most people would require a calculator to work out.
i never gain weight, no matter how much i eat or how little i work out. i never lose weight, no matter how little i eat or how much i work out. my weight has been more or less constant for at least ten years (with the exception of times i've been deathbed-sick)
when i'm nervous, i hear all of my thoughts in my own voice, but with foreign accents.

Nah, it's not that. I can make my eyes tilt very fast, not by moving them left-right (controlling them) but somehow... I don't know. Never even seen what I do.
Strabismus looks strange but it's not uncommon or very bad, at least as much as I know... Thanks anyway :)

I guess how strange that is depends on how you talk to domestic animals. Normally I don't talk to domestic animals unless I'm telling 'em to fuck off and stop bothering me. :) (I am not a pet-owner but have to take care of my family's pets.)

Hell yeah! You don't know how much pants i wear to work with holes in 'em (at the inner-seams of my legs). Fuck it!
If i have a hole in my pocket and my pants are fine otherwise i sow them.
I've repaired my last backpack (i use to work daily) about 50 times before it almost desintegrated.

strabismus is no laughing matter. when i was five, i had a horrible case of flu that caused the muscle in my left eye to become atrophied. my left eye didn't move and focus as fast or strong as my right which caused me to constantly see double. as a result, i had opthalmic surgery at age six, they cut muscle out of my right eye. now they both operate at the same level, but they're both extremely weak and i need glasses to read writing on a piece of paper or tell someone by their facial features. i can manage for a little while (less than an hour or so) but after that the excessive eyestrain causes me to have ferocious headache.

I'm almost completely teetotal. No alcohol, tobacco or drugs. I say almost because I occasionally drink a glass of wine, maybe once a month.
Why? I found alcohol and drugs just made my mental health problems worse, and I was never attracted to smoking.

I like to lightly move my finger tips across my body (on my stomach, neck, shoulders, side, ribs, inner and lower thigh, and the upper thigh and part of the buttock), which creates a tingly, tickling, pleasurable sensation. Usually when reading or watching YouTube videos on my phone. Occasionally while watching ASMR videos. I'm so weird...
