i think avoiding the embarassing stuff is fine, i only think it's annoying if the person that it bothers calls excessive attention to themself every time it occurs. sort of like the "WOULDN'T KNOW...I DON'T OWN A BOOB TUBE" advertisers (yes i've seen the onion link).

The weird thing is I can handle pranks and goofy videos like that ebaums audition thing...It's just fictional situations that sketch me out. My family still makes fun of me for freaking out and running away screaming every time this sesame street video came on: 2 PIEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

I still get goosebumps watching that...it's like a snuff film to me...

I don't blame you. That was horrific.

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.

I'm pretty sure watching this will cure you of your problem.Rush.

I talk to myself pretty much continually throughout the day.

I systematically tear styrofoam cups, slips of paper, anything useless and expendable and in front of me, really, to little shreds.

I have an absurd oral fixation.

I fidget with my hair constantly.

[/ QUOTE ]

I too, do these things. I'm always talking to myself. Especially when alone.

I am also incapable of not shredding things (paper, labels etc...) I caught myself at the bar last week w/ some coworkers shredding the napkin and then rolling the shredded parts into tiny little balls.

I have somewhat of an oral fixation. In that I chew the [censored] out of pens and straws. I got my tongue pierced thinking this would help. But it didnt. I have since taken it out 6 years later.

My hair, I notice now that it's long, I'm always fidgeting w/it. Twirling it etc...

I have a few routine habits that make no sense at all. Ex: When I come in the door to my house, I walk down to the end of the hall and look out the back window, over the parking deck that I just came from, every single time.

[/ QUOTE ]

I do something similar. When leaving the house, I probably check the door 3-4 times to make sure its locked. Probably 50% of the time, I go start the car, then get out of the car to go check the door again (the other 50% I just say eff it and drive off). Probably looks OCD to an onlooker. Oh, and this routine gets worse if I am going away for a few days (the above routine is my normal daily routine)

I have a friend who does this. If you give him a piece of paper, it's GUARANTEED it will be crumpled/ripped/torn the next time you see it.

If I get one hand wet, the other one has to get wet also.

I always take my shoes off at the door - and I'm not Asian.

[/ QUOTE ]

Oddly, this is entirely normal and expected in Minnesota.

[/ QUOTE ]

And Alaska. Pretty much any place where "conditions outside + carpet = mess" I think this is true.

I picked this up from my folks when they lived there, and my korean best friend, and now it feels weird having shoes on inside.

[/ QUOTE ]

people actually wear their shoes inside? seriously?

Me too, but mainly if I've already seen it and it's scripted. Karate Kid fancy dinner scene for example.
