Bad/Weird Habits & Routines, OCD's, etc.

[JohnS.]

Ooo ooo a lil new habit I've gotten into. Every night I have food with soda (with ice of course). When I go to dump the ice into the sink, I always stand there and squeeze the ice by the sides with 2 fingers and let hot water run over the ice. It's so cool. And at the points where you're holding it, it actually becomes sharp since water is melting the ice everywhere except the small points where you're holding it.

Yeah I'm retarded but I amuse myself with everything .

Uno mas.

Everything on my desk or whereever I happen to be working has to be perfectly parallel or at a perfect right angle. Pencils have to line up with paper perfectly, if something is a little off I can't focus on what I'm doing.

oh, i thought of another one.

people who use the buttons on the fingerpad to click on laptops, instead of just tapping the pad. my husband does it and i want to slap his fingers every time he does. drives me nutty. >.<

 

[Going-West]

My fingerpad only has the button, tapping it does nothing. Personally I hate using the tap pads because I always end up clicking on something when I'm trying to scroll down a webpage or something...but I guess thats just what I'm used to.

I like to melt ice... but it's not interesting enough unless it's time to clean out the icebox in the freezer (we have an ice machine). then there's a huge block in there to melt down.

 

[Akiahara96]

that's weird. i know you can turn touch clicking off, but i've never seen one where it couldn't be turned on.

i don't see how you can accidentally click a lot? i dunno. every laptop is different, i guess. on mine it's really difficult, imo, to accidentally click while scrolling.

Well my mac's default settings don't allow for touch clicking, and I like it better this way so I've never looked...might be there though.

Maybe the computers I used were just too sensitive, it seems like you barley have to touch it on my g/f's computer to get it to click...and obviously I don't want to change it because it's not my computer.

i do that depending on what I am doin.

Some of the newer laptops have scroll bars on the touch pad that make it easier so you arent moving the mouse everywhere. it just takes some time to get used to and get it set so you dont accidnently click s**t. I am still doin it but I am getting better at it.

mine has those.. the little scrollbars on the right side and bottom of the touch pad. i guess that's why i find it so easy.

going west... maybe that's the issue.. i don't have a mac. i think mine has sensitivity settings, too. mine isn't sensitive, since i have a tendency to tap it much harder than i do when i'm just moving the mouse around anyways.

to each their own, but it's still a pet peeve.

lol damn straight .

I also crack my knuckles, fingers, neck, bad, knees, toes, all the time.

Oh and one thing with music, I can't listen to a whole playlist. I only listen to a bunch of songs at once or even just one song. Especially in my car, I'll just keep listening to only a few songs or just turn on repeat on one song. It drives my girlfriend nuts but I think nothing of it.

 

[got traction]

ok, i just thought of some more things i do::

- when i get gas i have to hold the pump (cause im afraid its going to fall out)
- everytime i get gas i reset the odometer ( i dont think its wierd but my g/f does)
- when i get into my car i always press the clutch in, then turn the key to 'on' let off the clutch and start the car
- even if i am not driving my car (like if im driving my dad's truck or my girlfriends car) i always creep over speed bumps
- my wallet always goes in the right back pocket
- i always wash my hair after i wash the rest of my body


thats all i can think of right now...oh yea, by the way for those who care, im on my way home from Iraq!!! im in Qatar right now and i leave here on the 4th, and i will be back in cali on the 6th!!

 

[JohnS.]

^^ Good to hear from you d00d. See yah soon .

- Oh when I pump gas, I lock the little switch if the handle has that little lock. I hate holding the handle because it hand the smell of gas on my hand. I love the smell, but having gas on your hand gets everything you touch inside your car to smell like gas.
- And I reset the little trip thing too (only because my fuel gauge is broken and doesn't read right).
- I always wash from the top down. Think of it this way... You're dirty before you go in the shower. Let's say you wash your legs first and then your upper body. You're washing all that dirty stuff off your upper body back down onto your legs. Same goes with washing your upper body then washing your head.
- Wallet goes in my right back pocket too . I think most people do anyways.

I hated back in high school when I would bring my car into the shop and people would f**k with it. I left it in the shop once all day up on the lift, locked up and everything, and when I walked by some stupid freshmen kid wad sticking a wrench into my muffler and moving it around. I swung the door open got right into his face and just about grabbed him by his shirt and told him that if I ever saw him anywhere near my car again I would kick the s**t out of him. There was another time I was doing an oil change and I was walking over to a steel drum to put my old oil filter in and he GOT underneath my car, put the new filter on (the wrong way) , and the drain plug, and started lowering my car so he could fill it with oil. I blew up on him too, I don't understand why people think they can touch my car witout my permission, I make it so crystal clear to everyone that if I need help i'll ask you for it, and will gladly let you touch it, but other than that, stay away. I also don't like when people f**k with my stereo (girlfriend excluded, she can do what she wants haha).

I can't crack my back without help, but I occasionally crack my hips.

Oh, and I never top off my gas. You do't get to keep that gas anyway. The overflow on the pump catches it and it goes back into the store's tanks... but you pay for it.

 

[JohnS.]

I just wait til the pump stops then pay .

 

[JohnS.]

I've been building a weird one lately...

Everytime I go #2, I can't have the shower curtain closed. I get paranoid and think someone is behind there. I have to open it now.

(When you sit on the toilet, you face the shower/tub and the curtain or whatever isn't see through)

 

[Akiahara96]

i stick my fingers through the ferrets cage when i'm in the bathroom. why is the ferret cage in the bathroom, you ask? because it's a pretty damn big cage, and we have a big bathroom, and no room for it in our bedroom.
