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?

Why would you merely wait for the microwave? I typically get MOST kitchen shored done, like cleaning, tidying, unloading the dishwaver etc. while waiting for the microwave, water to boil, coffee to brew etc. It saves endless time if you count this up!

I always feel depressed if I don't succeed in going to the bathroom before the microwave stops.

I play 'race the kettle," especially with my husband travelling for work. It's exhausting solo parenting, so I fill up the kettle and race to see how much of the kitchen I can clean before it boils. When it clicks I set everything down, pour myself a cup of tea and head to bed. Anything left will be finished in the morning.

Sometimes, two minutes is two long for food so I munch on chips or something as I watch my pizza slice rotate.

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.

My sisters and I used to try holding our breath over bridges when were little. I think we thought it'd make us float if we fell in the water

That's pretty high stakes for just trying to hit the trash can with some garbage. Go big I guess.
