“What’s A Weird Little Thing That We All Do Or Experience, But No One Talks About?” (40 Answers)

Reading this while doing this.

We call it thermostat leg

I read there is a reason for it. Your body thinks it's constantly transitioning to a more comfortable temperature or something

Nah. My mosquitoes have a foot fetish

I throw off the covers and leave my feet inside. They're always cold.

Esprit d'scalier (or something like this), like a reverse deja vu, where you think of a perfect answer when you're on the stairs on your way out.

In our heads? You mean out loud taking all parts.

Or the conversations we wish to have but don't have the courage.

That come back is always based on the idea the other person is going to remain silent throughout the whole thing, like in a day time tv drama.

This is talked baout so much though?

Unless it gets stuck there and you have to do the hip movements to release it

I've gone 56 years without knowing this is a thing. I wonder if my wife will get mad at me if I ask her about it? Wish me luck!🤪

The first one I ever did in front of my newlywed hubs, he asked "what the hell was that???" I explained and he said "that's effing awesome! And can you do them on command?" He learned a lot that day! 🤣🤣

Oddly enough this has never happened to me! Perhaps because I'm a man... hmm

Penis, interesting..the censoring is sexist!

Yes, not even ‘guilty’.

"I was waving and shouting your name" - yeah, I can be selectively deaf and blind when necessary. ;-)

Before my partner and I were really friends, we did this to each other—hilarious in retrospect.

I must be the one they avoid bc I don't hide... Lol

This is so sweet

My boss laid down a silent killer seconds before I unexpectedly popped into his office. I managed to keep it together long enough to get my question answered. The look on his face for the duration of the exchange was priceless. Sort of a "how is she not smelling this"

I think of this as acting Japanese. An Asian person could probably help me with a word for it but basically it's the concept of giving people privacy by choosing not to "see" them. I learned it about Japanese culture as a thing done to deal with crowded living and other situations. But my casual observation in other crowded Asian countries is they do it some too. I might not be wording it well but I don't mean cruelly ignoring people. I'm talking about the kindness of not pointing out their human moments.

So we went from things that no, not everyone does to things that most decent people do for a very good reason.

Yeah I was lifting something with my boss and she farted and I just kept working like I didn't hear even though she said excuse me.

Thank you, I always thought I was the only one.

Self acceptance/acceptance of being human goes a long way. I don't think everyone beats themselves up forever. I hope you interrupt the cycle.

Other people do this? I thought I was just weird.

Must have been a real hair raising experience.

Holy s***. I'm so glad others do this.

My parents and daughter regularly use me as an excuse, I'm chronically sick so no one ever questions it.
