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”.

    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?

    I make up names for the cars using the letters in the license plate. My car is VCY and it’s name is Vicky. A guy I really don’t like has a car with PNV and I say his car has “penis envy”

    I do this a lot with random cars, and I know it's pretty unlikely, I will just choose one to memorize the car and license plate in my head, because my brain is just like, "What if it's used in a kidnapping" or "What if it's a serial killer's car and when they are discovered and ask if anyone saw anything and you cant quite remember the license plate"

    Ever since I was a kid I've been reading license plates on passing cars. My 5yo has recently started to ask us about each and every foreign licence plate we encounter on the road (where's this one from?) so I guess it is hereditary...

    OMG! Me too. I make up words like the letters are acronyms...153MLB ends up stuck in my head as 153 Many Little Bees & Sometimes a random number, "from my past" will pop into my head and I have to figure out it's significance. For example, the number 19200 was stuck in my head, on repeat, for days until I remembered why that number was familiar to me. 19200 is a baud rate for computers. However why that got stuck in my head, at that point, still remains a mystery.
