Default Re: weird things you do

When trying to decide what to get from the vending machine or what to eat or order, I try to find some method to randomize my decision. If I have a coin I'll flip it, or I'll push both buttons on the machine at once and see which one registers.

Also, a couple times on long car trips back from the casino alone when i've felt really tired, I'll scream obscenities about girls I fantasize about as a means of keeping myself awake after all the usual tricks have been exhausted, (opening the window, turning the radio up etc.)

I can't watch embarassing moments on TV especially on sitcoms...if a character gets in an embarassing situation I have to change the channel. One of the many reasons I can't watch Friends: that's the plot of every episode.

This is funny...I remember laughing out loud AND feeling extremely uncomfortable during Swingers when Favreau keeps calling that girl's machine back at like 3a or whatever.

wow I thought I was the only one who did this

Wow, I have never heard of this. Ever. Can you people please provide an example of something that you recently could not watch?

Very hard to think of a good example, it doesn't happen very often, but basicly the entire movie "very bad things" gives me the feeling that I want to look away.

edit: "Swingers when Favreau keeps calling that girl's machine back at like 3a or whatever"

stolen from someone above, but it's a very good example of something I just HATE to watch.

When a passenger of a car, I'll look out the window, and imagine a big stick figure running on top of the trees or buildings or whatever is outside.

I change the channel during uncomfortable scenes too. I'll never watch Swingers alone. When with a group, I'll keep my pain inside.

Me too. I never made it all the way through that video (used to be on Ebaum's) of a college TV station, where the poor sports anchor just butcher's his segment.

[/ QUOTE ]why? What happens to you guys if you watch it?

[/ QUOTE ]

It just makes me feel really uncomfortable. Basically, I empathize way too much with the people who are feeling uncomfortable on-screen.

Dom,

I struggle with urinating in public as well. Numerous times at work I'll pull up to a stall, but then just before I pee, someone busts in, I shut it down, and I'm stuck standing there while they pee, finish, wash hands, and leave. I think I'm mostly over it now, though.

TheMainEvent,

I remember doing the run in the house before the car comes thing when I was younger.

Wow, I spent alot of time doing this as a kid from the backseat of the minivan. Mostly I imagined the guy doing acrobatic things on the utility lines.

The "Boom goes the dynamite" video.
Any episode of Punk'd.
Jackass where they're harassing random people.
Any scene in a movie or TV show where a character is in an uncomfortable social situation -- such as when a guy is being rejected by a girl, someone is being fired, etc...
