weird things you do

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 the same exact way. When ever I see someone about to make a really big fool of themselves I flip the channel.

i can't pee at a public urinal unless it has those little divider walls on either side. I freak out at stadium "pee troughs" - i have to use the stall.

I can't sleep with any kind of shirt on me, even if it's 40 below.

I have to read the newspaper in exactly this order: Front section, Local, Sports, Lifestyle. If someone else happens to be reading the section that is next on my list, I wait until they are finished - I can't skip to the next section!

That last one drives me crazy. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

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.

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...

Difference is luv that an oral fixation in a girl is a good thing.

Oy oy!

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

Oddly, this is entirely normal and expected in Minnesota.

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?

This seems especially weird to me coming from someone who used to work in porn, hence a good thread contribution.

As soon as I get home from work I have to take off all my clothes, even when I go to work in comfortable clothes. Even if I'm going back out in virtually the same outfit. Lately I have been going home for lunch and I often take my clothes off at the beginning of lunch and put them back on when I go back to work.

Count me in to the awkward TV moments camp too.

Sometimes I like to eat slices of cheese with a meal or something, or as a snack, and I fold them lengthwise twice and crosswise once, then stack them (making a pile of 8) and then eat them one by one, folding them crosswise twice. Always exactly the same.

I talk to myself for hours at a time on long car rides. Sometimes I have the same conversation many times, with minor changes or revisions, or none at all.

oh, i can masturbate in public, no problem - especially at the library - but peeing? no way, Jose.

I have no idea why I always flip though my magazines starting at the last page to the first.

Every time I go through an intersection, I check the light three times, saying to myself 'green light' each time I look. I have a tendancy to space off when I'm driving and while I've not had a ticket or wreck in 18 years, I have had some close calls.

I stop by the convience store twice a day to get either coffee or iced tea. I never follow the same pattern when picking the cup or lid (there are a number of slots I could pull from). In the back of my mind there is some fear of someone wanting to poison me and if they knew my pattern, they could get me this way. Irrational, I know and I don't take it seroiusly, but I feel better making this behavior random. And that's the only behavior I modify like that.

I used to do this 100% of the time, now I just catch myself doing it occasionally, maybe every couple days or so. I pretend there is a lasar shooting from my truck. It must continually shoot, but I control which side it comes from and have some control forward and backward. I have to avoid hitting cars and driveways. This got it's start when I was a kid. My step father was verbally abusive and particularly enjoyed hammering me in locked confines of the car. As an escape I played this game.

That's all I can think of. . .

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...

Wow, I remember that. The “two turtles” guy sounded/looked like a pedophile. And the Baker sounded like Kermit the Frog.
