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?

    Exactly, my dad looked through my phone. I was so nervous because I knew he was going to find something that I didn't know I wasn't supposed to do. I have nothing to hide on there, but it's like having somebody search your mouth for food, it's uncomfortable and they'll find something.

    I think it's just a matter of respecting privacy. Even if you don't have things to necessarily hide, people should always assume you have things you maybe just don't want to share with others on your phone.

    It's not a matter of whether or not you have something to hide, it's a matter of manners. You should always politely ask before taking other people's possessions in your hand.

    I don't care if I hand people my phone. It's the most hackable device you own, so I don't keep anything on there that I'd be embarrassed about and I don't use it for banking or social media. If I lost it tomorrow it would just be an inconvenience, not the end of the world. People should use more caution.

    We have so little privacy in this world, I understand not sharing something. Even if there were nothing to hide, I'll still want it private.

    I think he/she is saying that they have nothing to hide in their phone, but when they are showing somebody the phone, and they grab it from them, they want to kill them?!
