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?

    Better light up a monster hiding in the dark corners of your room, than breaking your pinky toe on the edge of your furniture.

    Nope. When you use a flashlight at night, all the bad guys know exactly where you are, so they can attack you before you ever see them.

    I was walking my friend home in the dark and my dad insisted on coming with us. I began telling a scary story to my friend. We were about 5 houses away from my house and we turned around and he had disappeared. He jumped out from behind a tree and yelled! It was hilarious and spooky

    if you keep the flashlight on the ground...you would only see monster/humanoid creature feet and it would be less scary for when you run
