We all have our fair share of quirks. Some are out in the open, while others manifest when no one's around. But here's the thing: these hidden peculiarities are more common among many people than you think.
All 2.8 million members of the ME IRL subreddit would know. This massive online group features posts about overthinking, odd procrastination habits, and anxious yet funny daily life moments.
We've compiled some of the best and most comical screenshots from the page. As you keep scrolling, you may discover you are not alone with your idiosyncrasies - many of which have become popular memes.

Or too chilly. And I don’t like the look of those clouds.
Load More Replies...Also, not afraid to be alone with my thoughts & ideas. Don’t need constant distraction & stimulation to find comfort & joy. Like it when my environment & mind are completely silent. Mostly, prefer my own company over others.
30°C here in Spain and temp increasing! Where am I supposed to go? I feel like a dumb vampire, running from shadow to shadow. August will be fun! 🥵
I like people, but I like my stuff a lot more. Besides, people are like mountains - their beauty and charm are best appreciated at a distance.
As you get older, you have less energy to do things so you stay inside, plus for me not much self motivation.
And you walk out past those alarm sensors, expecting them to go off even though you stole nothing
Load More Replies...OMG YES! takes but a few seconds... Yet feels like you've suddenly become enemy of the state for hijacking the register! 😰💦
that moment when you forgot to reply to something for a while and now you can't reply because you're worried it'll look weird but also can't not reply because you can't drop the ball and then it's been six months, oops. What makes it worse is that the cost of waiting another moment, after a certain drop off, is negligible, and thus at any given moment it makes sense to not reply.
Wanna p**s me the f**k off? Start to have a general conversation about the weather, start telling a story to the cashier after your transaction is complete. Really wanna p**s me off? ask to "cut in" to the line at the pharmacy because you have "just a quick question"... "PArdon me sir, would you mind if I cut in front of you? "Hell yeah I would mind, go back to the end of the line"
Oh, I feel this one in my bones. I try to avoid cash because of it, actually. I have to have all of my bills in order, facing the same direction, and oriented appropriately. Even though that takes literal seconds to do, I'll just shove my change in my wallet and worry about it as soon as I get out of the way.
Err no you rewind like 13 seconds to get to the one or two lines that you love
Foolish Heart. 3 times in a row every time it pops up in shuffled library.
According to experts, these quirks give us a good idea of a person's true nature. Psychiatrist Dr. Christine B. L. Adams dismisses personality tests like the Myers-Briggs personality type test as "a bunch of hooey."
In an interview with Reader's Digest, she suggests looking into nuanced actions to gauge someone's personality.
I'm gonna need this in five minutes. Better put it where I can't miss it.
“I’ll put it right here so I remember where it is.” has turned into my trigger to take a pic of me placing the item where I won’t forget, but do. That way I can scour my photos by location to find where I put it.
That’s actually a really good idea. Now if only I could figure out a way to know which of the 5264 items I move in a day that I need to take a picture of
Load More Replies...It's always nice to give a Christmas gift in July though, when you find it while looking for something else
Absolutely, I think people appreciate it more. Or perhaps they've just got used to me...
Load More Replies...Until finding said important item whilst looking for something else you've just put away safely, never to find again. Until...
Yes! If you lose something, simply wait until you lose a 2nd thing - then you find the first. This has happened SO MANY times to me!
Load More Replies...Ah - the 'safe place'.... this really only works until you're about 35-45.... After that you can't remember where your toothbrush is!
Load More Replies...I very rarely iron because I dewrinkle as it comes out of the wash. I did however buy a steamer during black friday sales a couple of years ago and that is a game changer.
Chuck in the dryer on a dewrinkle cycle for 20 minutes. Job done and I don’t have to babysit. Just set a timer on my phone
Ironing-free shirts. They look amazing without the hassle. I'll never buy any other kind ever again
I actually like to iron. I hate vacuuming, doing dishes etc, but ironing is like zen for my ADHD brain. Don't know why, but it's just relaxing and satisfying to me.
Same here, Carl. Ironing can be very Zen. And the scent of hot, clean cloth!
Load More Replies...oof...am i the only one who will chew those spoons to oblivion??
Load More Replies...Yep. And sucking on the wooden spoon to get every last taste of the ice cream when the pot was empty
I just said...I can taste the spoon The ice cream doesn't really taste
What are these subtle actions, you may ask? It comes down to the way you write emails, for one. Dr. Adams associates messages predominantly written using the first-person POV as a possible narcissistic trait. On the other hand, she links lengthy emails to either a sense of energy or neediness.
Hah! My mother was in the hospital during her last few days and we realized they'd play Brahm's Lullaby whenever a new baby was born. My wonderful, morphine-addled mother immediately demanded to know "What do they play when somebody kicks the bucket, Another One Bites the Dust"???"
Load More Replies...Bohemian Rhapsody. 5:54 minutes of pure awesome and six seconds to cry about dying.
I like how everyone is sharing their choices on this. There are so many diverse music tastes. 😊
Same, but now Im sad, cause it's app. an 8-minute song and I'd rather have the last 6 minutes of the song, so I can take my final breath while Robert's wrappin up those last lyrics.
Load More Replies...I often blow on cold foods before I remember " Wait, this thing is cold, what are you doing?"
This is my life since I moved to hill country after living in a flat, sea level state for 40 years. I've gotten pretty good at finding secluded places to huff & puff to reinflate my poor lungs.
Welcome to Texas or Colorado or New Mexico or....; -)
Load More Replies...I remember puffing and panting, red in the face and almost dead when I was halfway up a mountain trail in Croatia. A few seconds later a family strolls past me, the dad with a kid on his shoulders and the grandma at the back looking at me all like, 'uh huh'.
Me in Peru. I look and appear to be dying on this hike and a tiny elderly couple just stroll by with probably twice their weight in goods bundled all over their bodies. What a truly humbling experience that was.
Load More Replies...I don't even try anymore. It's so much work for me to even breathe deeply. To clear it up, I have asthma
While it may not be as subtle, how someone walks also says much about who they are. As keynote speaker and body language expert Dr. Carol Kinsey Goman pointed out, people who “power walk” and move with a measured stride are often confident and socially adept.
Meanwhile, someone who moves with a slumped and caved-in posture is more likely to be self-conscious and tends to be lost in their thoughts.
remember buying the whole album because of that one hit single and discovering the rest of the songs were trash? Yeah I don't miss that at all
Yeah, it's hard to answer the question "What bands are you listening to?" if it's usually only 1 or 2 good songs from everybody
I feel this. But also, when an artist you like puts out one song that goes against type for them, becomes a big hit, so they ditch their old sound and go with the new success. I'm not mad; make that money, but it still hits hard.
It’s like buying an LP by a musician you really like and discovering there’s only one song on the whole album that you really like. Yes, I’m old
That can happen, but back when I was buying vinyl the norm was buying an album and maybe finding one or two songs you didnt' really like. About the only exception was when a band had a hit with a song that was very different from their usual output.
Load More Replies...I feel this with one-hit-wonders.....like, Did you put all your talent in and have nothing left?
And that one good song is ALWAYS a really really f*cking amazing song. Looking at you, Puscifer.
I just ordered a costco cake for my birthday. Just for me. I'm going to have cake for weeks!!!
I feel I have so much daily responsibility to others - my child, my husband, my elderly mother, my employees - or have to be available to hold space for whomever needs it, asking for alone time with zero responsibility or obligation to any other human being seems impossible and unfair. I’ve always been the type to look after someone or something. The one day of the year when I’m asked what I want and am allowed to make a solely selfish request is my birthday. At around 8 or 9 years old, I started telling people in my life that all I wanted for my birthday was to be able to find a quiet place where I could read & write with absolutely no interruptions or even basic requests, demands or inquiries. It took a few years, but by 15 everyone knew they could make any sort of deal about my birthday the days before or after, but to just let me have the day to myself. It’s been this way for 35 years. I look forward to it months ahead of time. It’s nothing to do with maturity or misery.
I'm convinced that people who do this had significant people in their lives routinely forget their BDs and this was how they coped
This. After the first couple of decades of people not remembering, not caring was the best way to deal with it.
Load More Replies...My best friend made an awesome cake for my birthday last week, with lemon and fresh cream. I portioned and froze it so I enjoy it for a while. 😁
Truckers call that *the zone*. You’re on autopilot essentially. Music, hands free phone calls, audio books, anything to avoid that. It’s dangerous
Load More Replies...Yes, and if you are really lucky you are so tired you get the extra bonus of hallucinations.
Load More Replies...That explains all the drivers I've seen... You guys actually need to pay attention when you're piloting a 1+ton missile.
Once worked 28 and a half straight days doing 14 ro 16 hours and one 19 hour shift. Drove home after the "half day" and literally got back to the valley then realized I didn't remember any of the previous 5 hours of the drive... including the winter mountain passes.
or don't remember half the drive? just BOOM, you've reached your destination!
I did that just the other day. Since there was a cop on my left, I'm ASSUMING I was doing okay.
Many people have nervous tics, whether constant throat clearing, nose wrinkling, or rapid blinking. When it comes to body-focused repetitive behaviors, there is more than meets the eye.
Research has found that traits like hair-pulling, nail-biting, and skin-picking are possible signs of perfectionism. Such actions are believed to be manifestations of stress brought on by having such high standards.
Me too Multa. It was an absolutely exhausting time, mentally and physically.
Load More Replies...I just want to point out that in 1000 years some archeologist will dig their way into an office building and find "how to wash your hands" signs in the bathroom's mirrors.
That hurts ! No archeologist will say "but maybe some of them were clean Without needing the signs !"
Load More Replies...When you live off-grid and/or very rural, far away from shops, entertainment, distractions, life starts to look more like this. Especially if you find a small community of creatives & thinkers who also choose to live this way.
Starting to understand why more of us want to live off the grid
Load More Replies...I was not exactly an essential worker, but nothing changed for me either. My only problem was being "carded" when I bought beer, as if even with a mask, I didn't have enough gray hair showing to be mistaken for Gandalf the Gray. The essential part was having to leave the apartment to get the beer, or a large number of people in Milwaukee would have been out of work.
That was never a time or a place where this was life as it is supposed to be. That's life how we wish it was. It is more accurate to say life is supposed to be breathing, looking for food, mating, repeat till dead. But sure miss this time. Made more music than ever, a small video game and two clay sculptures. And a kid. Also made a kid.
Thank you to all the essential workers out there who kept us going through the Lockdowns and Quarantines... From bin collectors, to the janitors in hospital to just everyone who people forget about but they all were very important and still are. You kept our rubbish from piling up, you looked after us all. Thank you 💜
Imagine your partner refusing to watch anything in a foreign language because they don't like subtitles.
If they don't stop you... does it matter? My husband refuses to watch foreign language films/programmes unless they are dubbed but he doesn't mind me doing it. He actually can't read fast enough as he's dyslexic. A lot of people are.
Load More Replies...Half the actors mumble or gabble, or the sound balance isn't right (music too loud).
Imagine living with someone who doesn't understand the importance of volume normalisation and doesn't recognise that everything made after about 1986 lacks it and who refuses to acknowledge that it's just more pleasant and more satisfying to actually get all the dialogue without having to rattle the windows with needlessly loud action sequences. Sheesh.
I watched a Canadian sitcom (Corner Gas) that had no laugh track or background music. It was so easy to hear everything! Then I turn on an American sitcom and the laugh track is activated for every other word! Seriously, the canned laughter is the worst! I don't go to the movie theater anymore because the background music is so loud when people are talking!
Load More Replies...I'm, to say it nicely, " hard of hearing", and even with my hearing aids on, I need the subtitles, or most of the dialog will be lost to me, especially if there's background noise or music.
Background noise!! There is so much other sound going on, I can't always make out what they are saying.
Load More Replies...It is also great when you have small children acting wild around the house so you can still follow the program. I love subtitles!
I use subtitles all the time even if the show is in English. I like having the TV low, I've an issue with loud noises. The subtitles are great.
Same here. I like to set the volume quiet enough to lullaby me but being able to follow the plot
Load More Replies...I have an audio processing issue, so when there is background noise (either in the show or in my house), I can't understand what is being said. I can hear it just fine, but it doesn't resolve into words. Also, I'm sensitive to noise and my husband is a bit deaf, so really the subtitles resolve a lot of issues.
Fool of a Took, I am the same way with tv and in real life. I cannot follow a conversation if there is more than one person talking. The sounds all run together and it's like the adults in Peanuts comics.
Load More Replies...Introvert level pro: "I'll *open* it when I have energy and reply".
Three weeks?!? I thought that was extrovert level? Should I ghost everyone if it has been longer than three weeks? Because I thought I had at least 30 days before they will hate me forever…
I have a friend who always has to send the last text for some reason and I enjoy sending two or three more texts than are necessary just to see what she'll come back with each time. I have to live with the fact that I'm a horrible friend.
Arriving at a commitment is usually a judgment indicator of your respect for the person you’re meeting. According to Dr. Adams, punctuality may indicate a people-pleasing personality. It is also seen as a sign of conscientiousness and agreeability.
Conversely, she says that often arriving late could be a sign of self-focus. She also noted that habitual tardiness and arriving way too early are plausible symptoms of ADHD.
You'll still never be as tired at 11pm as you are at 1pm.
Load More Replies...Or, when you're dozing on the couch and then deside to get up and brush your teeth. I always catch a second wind after that.
Probably because you are usually trying not to sleep when on the couch, but actively trying when you get to bed.
Mine does. My SIL calls it "the narcolepsy couch" because ten minutes on it and you're frakking unconscious! Sometimes I sleep on it the whole night like Fox Mulder.
Or you actually doze off on that couch, wake up an hour later and think “welp, that’s my nights sleep buggered.”
I'm the opposite... freezing, huddled under blankets and yet need a fan blowing on my face.
I just discovered this. When the A.C. in the bedroom gets to cold in the middle of the night instead of crawling out of bed and turning the temperature up I just reach up and turn the electric blanket on. Wasteful, hedonistic bliss.
I have an Echo and a smart plug, so I can just say: Alexa, turn on the heating blanket!
Load More Replies...Ikr cuz like you can't have the monster come grabbing you at night so you have to use it as protection
Whoa, hold on there. How'd you get my password you hacker?
Load More Replies...In grad school I got so frustrated with password requirements that I ended up typing a stream of vile cuss words together. It was accepted, and I was so pleased with myself for outsmarting the silly thing...right up until the moment (a few weeks later) Help Desk asked me for my password so they could remote into my machine. Gal laughed so hard I thought she was going to strain something.
Do you prefer to dress simply? Or are you more into extravagant, flashy clothing? According to a study published in the Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, those who answer the latter may deal with potential self-esteem issues and insecurities.
In the same vein, recent studies have shown that those who enjoy indulging in expensive items may feel less confident and powerful. Experts describe it as the “imposter syndrome from luxury consumption.” Here, they feel undeserving of expensive things, which often leads to feelings of inauthenticity.

Load More Replies...Same at the airport! OMG, do I have a gun or anthrax in my purse?!?
nah the bigger anxiety is when the sensors do go off even though you didn't steal anything and you walk out awkwardly with everyone staring at you like you're a criminal 😭
Every time I leave a store without buying anything I stay outside for a few seconds because that's what an innocent person would do and I want to make clear that I didn't steal anything.
And you over compensate by acting how you think an innocent person would act. You look over and smile or nod at him or her letting them know you are a decent sort not like others and would never steal anything.
Yes and then you replay it in your head every night for the next 14 years slowly torturing yourself and feeling more and more worthless meanwhile the other person in the interaction completely forgot about it 10 minutes after it happened
And then feeling so guilty inside you apologize to ppl about ulyour so called embarrassing behavior and they're like i had a great time! No worries! But you still sit there and dont believe them lol smdh
Load More Replies...every time. It ranges between omg kill me now and ffs now I have regrets.

Now, we’d like to hear from you, dear readers. Which of these quirks are you guilty of, too? Do you see yourself in any of these posts? Or perhaps you know someone else? Let’s liven up the comments!
I've woken up to see me arm chilling like that! Maybe it's like an antenna??!?!
Arm, and sometimes a leg. My cat judges me for that, because her leg in the air is much more aesthetic than mine.
The worst is when you are falling asleep and you end up punching yourself in the face
More my legs honestly. I had a bunk bed at one point and loved it because I could prop my feet up on the ceiling while I was in it :)
I have never heard of such a thing. Now reading all of these comments I worry that I might start doing this.
Technically, I have to take calcium everyday, but that's still easier to do.
Sugar + saliva = acid => tooth decay. If you didn’t eat sugar you wouldn’t need to clean your teeth. (Not sure about sugars in fruit though!)
I thought I’d make myself a delicious sandwich for dinner but then I ended up having 2 raw tomatoes which was better than expected
Sausage wraps for me. I pretty always have sausage and bread in the house.
Load More Replies...This is why I don't even plan to cook at night, unless it's the weekend
Me at 8am: "I'll cook something nice and healthy for dinner tonight" Me at 6pm after another crappy day work "Let's order a takeaway"
I tried that. Kicked one cat in the head and stepped on another one's tail. Resulting chaos woke all three of us up.
I tried putting a slipper on once to find it was my dog. We had to get a night light in the end as she'd pick very random places on the floor to sleep. She had a dog bed and we didn't mind her on our bed, but no, she liked picking random places and running the risk of being stepped on!
Load More Replies...Don't look at yourself in the bathroom mirror.... If I make eye contact I wake up.
If I have to tee-tee at night I keep the bathroom light off because that helps me get back to sleep. I can find my way to the bathroom and around in it by touch and memory.
Okay... guessed what tee-tee means from the context but not why it means having a pi!ss.
Load More Replies...Wait wasn't there a meme just like this but it was baby Yoda instead??
...and my anxiety wont let me use the bathroom without the light being on.
And you don't put on your glasses because you aren't officially awake if they're not on.
Does anyone have a word for "I'm hungry for something but I don't know what so I'll eat everything until I figure it out or I get full"?
I've never experienced that before pregnancy. I hate it.
Load More Replies...i bet the germans have one for that too!they are the best in naming the most undefinable concepts
For once we germans indeed don't have a word for that
Load More Replies...That's basically all the time in my kitchen as I'm a terrible cook. Heck even a sandwich can fail miserably
Lie is as big as the terms and conditions are long
Load More Replies...Sometimes I even go as far as typing out the reply and then I just like ..... forget? to hit "send."
I've typed out whole replies. Hours later I haven't heard anything back and I'm starting to feel some type of way only to realize I never hit send. Then I feel guilty for feeling some type of way at being ignored even though the sender never knew I felt some type of way to begin with.
I type the text message and forget to send. I only realize that the next time I want to send that person another text. And it is especially bad when you are supposed to be answering a question with the initial text.
I've only just discovered that. Its excellent
Load More Replies...My medication alarm goes off though. Even when it's in do not disturb, sleep mode or airplane mode. I can't figure out how to silence it. Lol

Me handing over the phone to my parents whenever food delivery people call because I can't give directions to my own house
And if I do, don't expect words like north, South, east, or west. Prepare yourself for turn right at the third tree, if you see the big red bsrn you've gone too far
I just go on autopilot. I don't know the street names, just like, that's where I saw that dog by the store that was there ten years ago
I always say " Put this said address in your maps". God forbid if they cant use maps.
Same but I'm beginning to think it's not that they CAN'T use maps it's that they DON'T or WON'T.
Load More Replies...I often am asked drections (big city life) and just as often wonder afterwords... "wait a sec... isn't that the other way?"
Absolutely true! I do not go by street names, but by occasionally inappropriate landmarks that may no longer exist. I remember many years ago getting, as part of driving directions from a customer "at the unmarked turnoff by the old Wilson place that burnt down some years back, you take that left". I now completely understand that type of directions from local people.
My husband couldn’t give directions to our home if his life depended on it. You can drop me in the middle of anywhere with no phone reception or map and I’ll figure out my way around in minutes. I’ve arrived in new cities on my way from a transportation location to a hotel & have been stopped & asked for directions. People who travel with me to new places ask how many times I’ve been there or why I’ve told them I hadn’t been there before, when I actually hadn’t. I swear it’s my one & only superpower. And it comes with an innate knowledge of the precise time of day and which way north is, no matter where I am.
I lived like this when I was out of job after covid. Not a very good time.
I understand and it hurts both mentally and physically. And I go to the doctor and explain my depression and get told I need to see a psychiatrist to prescribe me the right medication. What park of lost my job did you not understand? I can't even pay you!

Hitting the 30-second rewind in my audio book a bazillion times while I'm preparing dinner and reading the recipe to make sure I don't miss anything
For me that means that ive been reading in the middle of the night to sleep and its working
Recently I suddenly recalled, after many years, a time when my friends called me "chicken" because I refused to do something silly. Friends, I forgive you. I forgave you a long time ago. Put it behind you. 11-year-olds are @$$holes.
Or when you're trying to sleep and your mind recalls every cringey thing you've ever done, one after another. And why is it that I can remember all my cringey mistakes with minute details but I can't remember what I had for lunch yesterday?
Oh thank god I'm not alone!! I remember being embarrassed because I told my primary school teacher that I'd lost my first tooth... twice!! She laughed kindly and said I'd already told her, but ooooh the shame. I was mortified. What an utter fool I was!! I'm now 42 and still that memory haunts me.
Load More Replies...In front of three people and my crush, my best friend goes up and says "what do you think about ---" 😶
And it's not like there aren't enough embarrassing things in the more recent past, so why?
Many years ago (so long ago that I had an old fashioned alarm clock, and well before cell phones) my alarm went off, so I got up, took a shower, and got dressed, even though I was still very tired. Then I walked in the kitchen and saw the clock above the refrigerator. It was about 2:00 am. It sure did feel good to go back to bed.
The moment when you are praying to any god available that it’s not 7am and you look at the clock to find it’s 6:55
This happens everyday except I’m praying it’s not 4 am and I wake up at 1 am
Went to bed at 1030; dog wakes me up at midnight; literally could not get back to sleep.
I don't have pets - got a visit from a friggin bat at 3 am last night. Waited for 15 minutes in the hopes it would find its way out, then (with a vision of the poor animal crash landing in my LONG hair) gave up and left the room for the couch. Couldn't get back to sleep, either.

Load More Replies...Just did this today. I had to do it 5 times & didn't know if they were just making sure or if I did it wrong. THEY NEED TO BE CLEAR! I wonder how the ones where you just click a button work, or if they're just cheap & making us think they have a captcha.
I read an article about the new generation recaptcha - essentially, they are tracking your activity on page (scrolling, clicking links, mouse movements, interaction with content) even before you enter the form with captcha. Bots and such behave differently, for example cursor does not move or moves in straight line. When you see a button, you will click or tap it, while a program would probably execute some script - the recaptcha "sees" the difference between those two, if the previous activity was suspicious the request is denied.
Load More Replies...Can someone tell me why the Recaptcha photos are always so blurry? It's like it's intentionally done to set you up for failure.
The latter, but only because paranoid me wants to make sure the bikini top is decent before landing.
The same way I walk through 666% humidity during the summer: SLOWLY.

When the pandemic hit, I was already a stay at home mom living in an isolated town. My husband was still working through all of it, so nothing changed much for me. I would stay home for a week at a time and didn't have to feel bad about it!
Same, but then I also had to deal with kids doing home learning. I missed my quiet. I missed getting a complete shop done in only one and a half hours.

Load More Replies...See, history thing: the CIA actually had this problem. They had figured out KGB codes, but couldn't actually DO much with that information, because if they did the KGB would figure it out and change the codes. It's a frequent problem in espionage: if you use the information too much, people change the technique, but if you underuse it it's not really worth it.
Yep. For some reason a heckin lot of people like to tell me their secrets. Like just acquaintances, even. It's weird.
Me when I figured out my ex bf and our mutual friend dated and they both lied repeatedly to my face but I can't say anything bc it's a secret I wasn't supposed to know
This happened with my ex all the time. The worst part was he believed most of his own lies.
yeah...one time me and my friend had a two day argument about if jello had horse hooves in it...she was right the whole time

The amount of times my husband has kicked my canes out from under me because he can't walk straight.
Yes! I haven't had a drink in 30 years. I sometimes watch sobriety test videos (I don't know why) and I realize there is no way I can pass them. I am arthritic. Sometimes they don't carry portable breathalyzers . I would be detained and start complaining about my bad shoulder if they cuffed me behind my back. Another reason getting old sucks!
Load More Replies...I have 3 doors in my house i lock at night. I have to do it in a specific order, without doing anything else. And if some interrupts me, i start over.. my brain is f***ed sometimes.
Because doing 1 equals doing 2 equals doing 3 so you’re not jerking awake at whatever hour thinking “Did I lock the door?”
Load More Replies...Always with my hair straightener! Even had to turn my car around and return to the house to double-check. Better to be late to work then have a house fire!
Husband: "Did I close the garage door?" Me: "I think so." So we drive back, even if we're already halfway where we were going.
I do the thing where you say a couple of words like green monkey as you lock up, on the rare occasions I leave the house. You will remember saying the words.
.....in my case it's the alarm clock. I must check that stupid thing 3 times before bed.
Say it out loud while you do it. You will remember saying it even if don't remember doing it
This is me with "bro"... one of my friends used it a lot, I started using it too, next thing you know I've accidentally called multiple teachers bro.

I don't know what annoys me more. The parts I understood or the parts I didn't.
Load More Replies...Same. Now I use some Gen z slang "ironically" and my gen alpha kids tell me how outdated that is and no one says that any more. So I do it more just to bug them. They're saying things like "skibidi toilet" and I'm saying things like "cringe, groovy, hoopy frood" and none of us know what is going on.
"Ugh, my teacher sounds so stupid." Two years later I talk like my teacher.
Still not what it means! Thought it was "lots of love" then saw other things. So what is it?!
My 30 year old and 27 year old nephews are still using slang like, "peak" "lit" and "fire". They sound bloody stupid. grow up.
No, it's too thin and too light. A thin summer blanket is barely sufficient but it will have to do. Don't get me wrong, a sheet is better than nothing but that is not amazing praise.
Load More Replies...I needs a blanket no matter what, can't be a sheet, in fact no top sheets at all, no tuck-ins, blanket must be light and fluffy comforter or a thin warm soft blanket but not weighted, and if it's hot then fans and ac and an open window for a nice cool breeze and the fans on even in winter just for the sound and a smidgeon of night lighting and the moon but if i can hear my own heartbeat, I can't sleep :/
And here i am with fur sheets and covers cause i wanna feel like a baby Joey when i sleep..
I sleep on a sheep skin all year. It's amazing. Cool in the summer, warm in what passes for winter here.
Load More Replies...This is why we have top sheets - what's up with the little gen zeds wanting to take them away🤷🏻♀️
Give them milk duds. According to Sheldon milk duds make everything better.
Listening to them and being emotionally exhausted from how often it happens
Don't get your s**t together to meet others' expectations, only get your s**t together if it benefits you. Otherwise, it is your life and you can waste it how you want.
Then you look up one day and you're still not dead yet and you have to deal with all the s**t you didn't take care of for decades. Like, what the f**k?
No, but I was googling a shop in Cirencester called Witches Knickers, and I rather wish I hadn't
Well, turns out they sell jewlery and handbags, which is a let down, let me tell you. The name had * such * promise...
Load More Replies...Not just googling - my calculator, that's the history I need my ride or die to delete when I die
I actually saw a question and a whole slew of comments on Reddit about, How To Use A Washcloth? Seriously?
Y'all ever use incognito mode for every single question just in case. But you don't actually know just in case what
Crying is healthy and acceptable turns into Crying is for weaklings the second I showed any emotion
Mine were about as strict as I am. When my kids leave the house I always say "don't play in traffic, be careful of the crazies, try not to murder anyone, I don't have bail money....love you!". That's pretty much how my parents were too, lol. I had the freedom to grow up knowing any stupid stuff I might do, wouldn't lose their love for me, and so do my kids. If you screw up, own up and we'll figure it out together. Otherwise, go have fun, live life, and don't burn my house down!
I'm more like: "If you don't brush your teeth, I won't feed you your favourite snack while you Play nintendo tomorrow, you royal highness."
Not very, I suppose they didn't need to be. They both worked so weren't around to see if we got up to anything. We went home when the street lights came on as we knew one of them would be in the middle of cooking dinner by then.
My mum always used to say, "You can talk to me about anything that's worrying you, you know. Don't keep things bottled up." Then when I did try and talk to her she would scream, "You ungrateful ****! You don't know you're born! There are people far worse off than you, you know." So then I didn't bother trying to talk to her and would get accused of being secretive.
you mean the zombie version of twitter? its undead corpse?

When you're on zoom and spend ages typing up a long digressive comment on something (eg Roosevelt knew about the Holocaust before America entered WW2 and just didn't care and boy do I have sources for that one) and then it's moved on
Happens to me all the time! I have something great to add to the conversation, but keep getting interrupted and can't get even a syllable in edgewise with a crowbar. Sometimes I get so frustrated I want to SCREAM or jump up and down on the table! And by the time the others deign to let me in, the subject has moved on to something different.
I kind of stretch my neck and put my hand under it. It flattens it out

It's over R200 for a large box in South Africa. So yes, hella expensive.
They ain't cheap! I'm in Cali, and these are strictly a special occasion treat like birthday or xmas
makes great disco lights if you turn on a projector and turn off the ceiling lights.
Game. Have someone else choose the song but turn the volume off. Then you have to guess the title by watching the Windows Media Player visualization.
I actually have had to experiment twice to see if I do have a ringtone. The first time I got my mate to ring me, and it wouldn't make noise, so I assumed I didn't have one. When I mentioned that to my grandma, she just kept ringing me until I realised that I had it set to vibrate first. It's so rare that my phone is on anything other than vibrate though.
My voice-mail says that if they need to leave a message, they really need to call back because it takes me days to check it out.
Thank god I'm not the only one.. they all act like something is wrong with me bc I don't answer the phone or call anyone back.. or reply to texts or answer the door or open my mail 🤷♀️
Load More Replies...I wish but constantly misplacing my phone and having others call it all day. If I turn off ringer then I have have to use find my iPhone and it's a whole ordeal
I went into a shop in town owned by a lovely Polish family. There i found ketchup crisps or chips for the American BPs. They're the nicest crisps ever. I'm in there once a week and they also have the best pickle foods too. Its well worth doing something different.
Back then I was a regular on a website where you had a list of friends and you could always see who was online (unless said friend decided to log in a s invisible). Whenever I logged in a couple of minutes later one friend, who was also online every day, would message me : " Hey, you online?" I usually answered : " Nah, you are just seeing things. 😉"
A lot of us have many "favorite" songs. #1 can depend on the circumstances.
Replace song with book and that's me. Actually, replace song with a lot of things and that's me
I played a game the other day where someone says a word & you have to sing a part of a song with that word in it. Couldn’t think of any songs even though I have the radio on all day at work & sing along to every song I hear
Mine isn't the best song in the world, it's just a tribute...
I was already up an hour earlier doing that, i deserve my minutes 😄

I was at the hospital one time and the nurse asks me a bunch of questions I should know the answer to. One was "how old are you?" "I'm 8 years, 8 months, 20 days younger than my husband". She kept repeating the question and I kept answering the same thing. I actually don't know how old I am, I just know the facts between my husband and I. When she got flustered -and probably annoyed at me- my husband shut her up because what I answered still made sense and I answered all her other questions properly; they just needed to be sure I was lucid or something (I had passed out while pregnant).

As a non native speaker, I try to avoid those word as best as I can. Last time I used it in 2017
As a English speaker i try to avoid those words as best i can because i cant fe(king spell them half the time 🙈
For years I spelled it as "nescessary" and could never figure out what I was doing wrong
Fortunately my mobile text input is great at guessing what I'm trying to type. And it's not autocorrect, just offers a couple of possibles.
What's really frustrating is if you know the tune, but when you hum or whistle it Shazam still can't make heads or tails of it. And that's if you can carry a tune.
My mother left a party in their block of flats to use the loo in her own flat. Coming back through her bedroom she thought she'd just have a teeny tiny little nap before returning to the party. Unfortunately cellular blankets leave a waffle pattern on your cheek.
If I have a big mark from my pillow on my face in the morning, it last all fricking day. I don't remember them lasting all day.

I trust that one day I will be able to say with my best customer service impersonation. All our toilets are currently booked. Please wait for the toilet to be released soon. Thank you for your patience. *Humming waiting music*.
Either "uuuhhmmm" or a panicky "nope!", depending on whether they knocked or tried to open the door.
Guy at work did that to me, I replied "Thanks, don't need any help right now. Check back later though". We ended up being good friends. (Possibly necessary addendum. I'm disabled, I use the "special stall". When the regular stalls are occupied, some people just push on the door, which I find rude. This guy at least knocked first.)
1am? Wow, y'all gotta step up your game, I do it as soon as I hit the bed
Flunk! It never occured to me. Now my brain is rewired and I will do it every day.

Which is the best reason of all. You're not avoiding anyone, you're not shirking a responsibility, you're not hiding from anything, ... You're just not there.
im a gen z and i don't like most of the slang. i really only say "slay", "get it", "slay queen/king", "get it, your excellence (for my fellow gender-nonconforming peeps)", and very rarely I'll say "bestie"
