We all have weird quirks that are fairly uncommon, to say the least. For the fear of being judged, we keep these weird things to ourselves; however, that doesn't stop us from being curious about what others have to hide.

So, to indulge in this secret knowledge, X (formerly Twitter) user @drakesbrother started a thread asking people to share their bad habits, weird confessions, and interesting things they do. The thread was quickly flooded with the strangest habits. 

Turns out, lots of us have funny habits that make perfect sense to us but might seem odd to others. Something like when someone has to read the last page of a book before they can start it from the beginning. One thing’s clear: what seems like quirky habits to some of us is just another day in the office for others.

Some confessed to measuring how long something will take in songs, others said that each time they get in their car, they make sure no one is sitting in the back seat. While some of these weird things to do sound a little bit odd, let’s not pretend you don't relate. 

Scroll below for the list of confessions from regularly weird people, and don't forget to share your own strange habits in the comments.

This is incredibly common. Everyone does this, actually. Intrusive thoughts. I tend to think “how much can I key this car”.

My girlfriend does this a lot. I end up answering her and she just replies "nobody is talking to you, talking to myself. mind your own business." LOL

Cupboard doors need to be closed when not in use. It's not that I won't necessarily be able to sleep, it's just why would they be open?

That's probably the oddest one so far. I'm kinda impressed by it actually, it's wonderfully specific.

Yes!! My family calls me weird for this. It has to be an even number, except 4 or 6, because then I want it on 5 or a multiple of 5.

I am the opposite, all numbers, gas amounts, purchases, volume etc, has to be a prime number... not odd or even, but PRIME.

I don't have particular numbers for my preferred volume, but it often happens that, for example 5 is too low and 6 is too high, and there's no 5.5 option.

EVERYTHING has to be an even number or multiple of five. i’m talking number of stairs, lines in the road, how many times an artist says the word “the” in a song, and if not then i am angry.

Any number that I can set myself has to be on even number from volume any device, microwave, thermostat. You get the picture. If it has a number I can set I am setting it on even number.

Everything has to be divisible by three, and it's bliss when it's also an even number. 18 is my happy space.

I never did this until my best friend got me started on it with her car... and I did it every freakin time... I only was able to break the habit when my newest car came with a volume dial that only showed notches, not numbers.

When my now husband and I decided we wanted a May wedding, I decided the date had to be the square root, 5/25. I just liked the symmetry of it. Ever since childhood, I've done things like that. Ironically, math was never my best subject!

Im the same way with numbers (volume, microwave, change from money...anything with numbers) BUT...it has to end in 5 or 0...if it cant, it has to end in 7 or 3....if not I would settle for 2, 4, 6, or 8 but wouldn't be happy about it...and absolutely NEVER 1 or 9!

People do this, I know, but I don't really understand it. It's not as though you don't know it's fast after all.. Just curious. I'm more bothered with clocks being as accurate as possible.

And when turned off, the know must be in exactly aligned position so that any markings on it are parallel with the edged of the radio.

this is like driving with loud music, but then turning the volume down to look for parking or for an address.

When I was 4 in Florida we had no A/C in our house. I had 6 spots on my pillow that I could move my head around on until I had to flip it & have 6 more.
