28 People Share Their ‘Weird’ Things And Ask If Others Do Them As Well
Article created by: Gabija Saveiskyte
Every time I get up and leave a place, I quickly glance back a second time just to be sure I didn’t forget something where I was sitting. I also talk to my cat constantly, and I’ll never walk out of a store without purchasing anything without getting a pang of guilt because the employees might think I’m stealing. And as it turns out, these are all perfectly normal human habits!Redditors have been discussing those odd things that we do instinctively but don’t often talk about, and they’ve confirmed that many of our “weird” behaviors are totally normal. Enjoy scrolling through this list, and be sure to upvote the not-so-strange little things you do too! Image credits: Shlegnog

When I have a cringe thought or something negative on my mind I'll make some noise out loud to interrupt said thought.

God, this is me to a T. Didn't realize until my 40's or so that I hum when I remember something embarrassing.

#2
Having conversation with pets, like, walking around the house doing tasks while talking to your dog.
#3
Having imaginary conversations with people, that I know will never actually happen in real life.
#4
I daydream constantly. I'll sit there and be imagining I'm the hero of some story, or I just won a billion dollars and how I'm spending it. I just have an imagination I get lost in when nothing is happening.
#6
I randomly talk to my self when I’m home alone,
Though it makes no sense.
It’s like
„I hate this“
„This is Fine“
And i have no clue what I’m talking about.
Pls tell me I’m not the only one :c.

I know other people like this, but they are seeing doctors to try and fix it. I'd say it is common, but not normal.
#7
My voice changing depending on who I talk to. For example, the “voice” I use when working is entirely different than the voice I use for, say, speaking to friends.
I am talking about the pitch, tone etc.
#8
Whenever I leave a spot I've been sitting in outside, I make sure to look back and check if I've dropped anything.
#9
I sleep with my feet outside of the blanket so my feet can "breathe". I feel suffocated if my feet are under the blankets.

Stephen King has made it so that I can never have my feet outside the blankets. The thing under the bed will reach out and caress my ankles with a cold hand and I will scream and scream and scream. Thanks, Steve-O. A*****e.
#10
I wet my toothbrush, put on the toothpaste and then wet it again.
Always wondered if this was normal but never asked.
#11
When I add 7 + 4, I break up the 4 into 3+1. 7+3 is obviously 10, 10+1=11.
There is probably several other examples of math problems I break up in my head to make solving easier.

My wife is like this. A trick she learned from her dad, who dropped out of high school to work, but later got his GED. Honestly the smartest person I have ever met.
#12
When I eat cereal (or other small separate food like corn or peas) I'll split it evenly in my mouth so I chew evenly on both sides. If one scoop has an odd number in it, I'll keep a tally of which "side is up" to know to put the next on bit on the other side.
I really thought this was normal until I told my wife that I do this and she has assured me that it isn't, along with making sure everyone else knows that I do this abnormal thing.

OCD. You have OCD. As do I. And that's OK. And your wife is kind of an a*****e for rubbing your nose in it.
#14
Slap my thighs as if they are percussion instruments when I’m bored.

You slap your thighs when bored; I spank my monkey. It's all good.
#16
Clearing a notification off my phone as soon as I get it, deleting most of my texts after a few days, and then swiping up on any open pages/apps at the end of the day.
Bacon Tentacles 8 months ago
I don't get that many texts, so I don't think to delete them, but clearing out open apps and notifications? Aww hell yes. And I am a huge fan of Inbox Zero. Ahh, that last email has been deleted. Inner peace returns...
#17
Pretending like I’m filming a YouTube tutorial every time I cook/bake or clean. I talk in my head about the step-by-step way to do whatever it is I’m filming about.

Same. If I had a GoPro, that video of me folding a fitted sheet would be an absolute banger. Get my silver plaque ready.
#18
The amount of water I can consume. I know they say you should drink when you are thirsty, but I can be thirsty a lot, especially during warm weather / summer days.
I can easily drink 100oz (or about 3L) of water a day.
Bacon Tentacles 8 months ago
That's my wife. I enjoy the taste of water, but I have tiny old man bladder and I hate having to pee every half hour when I drink that much.
#19
Putting my hands on my pockets where I keep my phone/wallet when I closely pass by someone, just in case they may be a pickpocket.

Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're NOT out to get you.
#20
When I wear my glasses, I raise my eyebrows and my ears just enough to lift and readjust my glasses. Never realized how stupid I looked.
#21
My foot wags when I'm really happy. I'm sure it's "normal" in the sense that it's just an outlet for extra energy, but I don't know if other people have a waggly foot.
P.S. I used to think it was something I was just making up, but the boyfriend tells me I do it in my sleep too! :D.
#23
Whenever I haven't talked to a person for a couple of hours, I just say something out loud to test if my voice still exists.
#24
If I have a song stuck in my head I often click my teeth to the drum beat. When my wife notices me doing it she asks me what the song is.
#27
I actually enjoy soggy fries, or any cold food. I don’t mind if it is hot or cold. My boyfriend and dad find that odd.
#28
Look at each side of a potato chip/dorito to determine what side I want to put against my tongue.
