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?

    Yup. I so prefer working alone. I worked by myself in a big office that I shared with my boss who worked from home a lot. People would drop by occasionally and ask, 'doesn't it bother you being alone all day?' What I wanted to say was, 'Hell, no!'. But what I actually said was, "a little" so I didn't sound like a psycho.

    I am pretty much the exact same way. I notice I actually work slower when I have to work with others and can normally complete all my tasks in my workplace in half the time than when I'm working in a team.

    It rarely gets done faster with help. Stopping to answer questions usually negates any time saved.

    I also do this. It's extremely common for a certain MBTI type, the INTJ, to which I belong, according to all the tests so far. These tests are great fun and I recommend it to anyone here who is bored.

    I'm similar, I prefer to work alone in general because I have complete control and I don't need to make additional discussions with other people. HOWEVER, depending on the partner, I'm good with having 1 (max. 2) helping hand or co-organiser.

    I like a mix of things. I like to work on a bigger project involving multiple people, but I like to have clear instructions, talk thing overs if necessary, and then be left to do my part on my own. Discussing things add to my work, but when I'm actually doing the thing, I want to do it alone. Like, physically alone.
