Things you do for no apprent reason..
Talking about in the real world here not the forum ;D
At work I've noticed that when co workers come through a door I say "Ahh ha" ???. It's almost instinct and doesn't matter who it is. Some are use to it while others get big eyes and stop in their tracks like I just caught them doing something.
When driving I use the windshield wipers no matter how clean the glass is. Caught myself at the drive thru last week right when the girl opened the window..there I was hitting the water and wipers spraying away. She wasn't pleased.
I never finish a cup of coffee, just top it off constantly. Saying that it does sound kind of nasty? Backwash city. I'll probably stop doing that after this cup.
I still give my name when making calls even though we all know who is calling prior to picking up.
I mow my lawn in a checker pattern. Once across then up and down. Probably has more to do with ocd.
I never pay bills early or late. Pay them on exact due dates.
On long late night drives I sometimes barely crack the drivers window so I can listen to the wind whistle :cwm13:
I have no idea where I intended this thread to go. I finally got a day off and don't really care :lickish:

I think you are just really weird mate :p

Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
Make sure your flies/zipper is up when you know it is.
Check the door is locked when leaving the house ....three times
Click my hammer toe against the floor through my shoe...really bugs the Mrs ;D
Check the heating is off.. at least three times
Check the front door is locked after having already locked it at night
Say excuse me if I belch or something even when nobody is there :-\
I could go on but think I have already said too much

Excellent stuff. I always say excellent stuff to weird stuff, most excellent.

I never touch a public bathroom door handle. I always use paper towel as a buffer. I hate those hand air drying machines, they limit access to paper towel. I also always use my underwear as a buffer when I scratch my ass

Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
When I unplug the iron I say beaver 1 2 3
I crack my toes constantly
I can't sit down when I'm on the phone
I speak to myself in my head but I use different accents depending on my mood
When eating dinner I cant touch the meat on the plate until I've eaten everything else

Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
1. I always check the hob and cooker is off 3 times before i leave the house even if it hasn't been on that day :)
2. I check the door a number of times to see if its locked.
3. My wife and I tidy up before the cleaner arrives ? why ?
4. I check that the vehicles are locked a number of times.
5. I also get annoyed at people here , sometimes to a raging level . This is something i am not proud of , but its frustrating trying to get your views across when you are not face to face. I'm sure most of us here are all decent people , we just don't always agree.
6. I post in bold letters not to annoy people but because its easier for old eyes to read ;)
Note : Randy is a reclusive Billionaire and he lives out in the N'awlins swamps in his mansion , he doesn't work he is loaded :)

Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
Oh I drink lager in a really strange way as well, I lift my whole arm up with my elbow pointing right out, loads of people have picked me up on it, I think it's due to my hypermobility, that actually explains away a lot of the strange things I do with my body.

Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
Oh if I'm meeting someone at 2pm knowing full well that they will most likely be 1/2 hour late i still arrive 90 minutes early

Do you point your little finger outwards when drinking tea from a cup ? I do this and its sad. I think with a mug of tea you hold it with all your fingers tucked in , when you have large PAWS as I do with a little tea cup the little finger is uncontrollable and you look like a real Jessy.

Yeah I too am afflicted with large hands
I go pinky out when drinking from bottles as well.

Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
This OCD lark must be common, or this place really does attract weirdos en masse.
Religiously check the back door and windows are locked even though I know they're locked.
The toilet/kitchen roll has to be a specific way on the holder (whenever moved call whoevers been in my home a cunt).
The knives/forks/plates/cups/food have to go in the cupboard the exact same way (whenever moved call whoevers been in my home a cunt).
Check the electric key everyday without fail even though I never let it drop below 100 quid.
Minimum unwrapped two of everything at all times - toothpaste, handwash, shower gel, shampoo, washing powder, bin bags, lightbulbs, toilet rolls in bathroom etc.
Every door (bedroom/bathroom/kitchen) has to be left wide open at all times (anyone that leaves one shut gets called a cunt).
-
Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
I always want doors closed, especially when I sit down and watch a movie on TV.
Always buy too much tooth paste and mouth wash. Just stack it for no good reason.
Constantly look at the mirror when I drive (good habit to have learned from my drivng lessons) but still indicate when no one is around.
Walk very fast.

I have very small hands for my size but still do that. I think I work with so many Jessies (actors, musicians, dancers, theater people, Luvies) it has just rubbed off.:gay5:

Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
Nothing at all really. Everything I do has a purpose. The strangest compulsion is probably posting on here. But again it does have a purpose. I enjoy the posters and the discussions we have.

Absolutely, if you're 5 minutes early you're on time and if you're on time you're late is my rule.

That happens to me....but only because I dislocated the damned pinkie finger and it hasn't been right since so much so that now I can barely signal the number 3 with my index, middle, and ring finger, I now have to do the Inglorious Basterds #3 with thumb, index, and middle finger, or the good old OK to signal the #3.....but shit that's hardly "for no apparent reason" I've got a fucked up pinkie finger.

Depending on humidity and meals that's advisable, lest you want to end up shits creek :-X. I hate the swipe hand dryers. Always end up looking like a fookin bad magician waving his hands around to no avail.
I use scissors upside down apparently. Thumb goes in the small hole it seems.
Ordered pizza for work today and pre sorted boxes so they were 'variety' for each area. Rather than multiple people wandering around in main room looking for veggie this or thin crust that. I'm turning into some old biddy at a kids birthday party ffs ;D:p.

Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
I pace when on the phone
Also put on my professional voice when phoning a business
Always arrive early
Have use every last bit of something, e.g. toothpaste, shampoo etc
Shave everyday, even tho work doesn't require me to
Always have 3 ice cubes (never more or less) in my alcohol
Only ever eat one chip (hot or potato/ corn) at a time
Always close the toilet seat before flushing

Always have every door closed at home and free of obstacles because Mrs is understandably very wary of fire spreading and not being able to get out with limited mobility.
I used to straighten curtains, placemats, tables etc constantly but have channeled it into more productive actions over the years.

Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
When i serve food every plate has to have all the items in the same place , and they all have to be put on the table the same way .
I also have a specific spoon and pan which i make all sauces etc .
An example of a desert i made last week - http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...tid=4426&stc=1Pretty sad really.

I have conversations with my cat. She will look at me and say "meow" I say "what" and we continue like that for sometimes up till two minutes. She always walks away first which I think means I won

Yes i talk to my dog all the time , silly really as he isn't going to answer :)

I don't think that is for no apparent reason though. That is good presentation. Makes the meal more enjoyable for whoever you are making it. Same with the specific spoon and pan. We have a flamby pan simply because it got taken camping and burnt on the fire so now it saves me ruining the others when I am running around like a cross between a headless chicken and the Swedish Chef from the Muppets.

Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
Al is that Crème brûlée, Shortbread, Strawberries and Cream and some kind of Blackcurrant or cherry desert? Looks amazing. I am rubbish at desserts nearly always buy ready made unless the daughter has made a cake and dropped it around. The other half though does an amazing white chocolate mousse with cardamom. At first I could not eat it without thinking of the pink mouthwash that you get at the dentist, but have grown to love it ;D

Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
Ah, I will not use a urinal. Again though it is quite logical. I don't want people looking at my penis and it is not a clean process to be spraying everywhere and potentially on yourself. The urinal is a horrid thing really. Very undignified.

Very true, public bathrooms are difficult. In Asia with those hole in the floor shitters with no dividers I was freaked out. I would remain in discomfort rather than submit to that.

Cambridge burnt cream , the difference is no milk all cream , pate sablee with poached strawberries and vanilla cream , blackberry ice with vanilla and lemon , Madagascan vanilla yogurt cream.

They are mostly phased out now, but on the whole I try to avoid public toilets as I don't want to end up with a wart on my bum or something terrible like that. You just have no idea who is using it.

Re: Things you do for no apprent reason..
@Dark Lord Al do u ever make a voice your think your dog would make if he could talk. I loved my German
Shepard but I think his conversations would have been food related, asking me where I'm going and saying "look at me" while he does a trick. Cats, I believe would have much more intellectual conversations but they would be prone to insulting humans.
