We all go through our daily life with certain routines — habits that we repeat every (or at least most) days. With the way our brains and our world are built, such a thing is expected. In fact, some of the habits or routines get so ingrained into our actions, we sometimes don't even realize we're doing them — they just seem so normal to us.

At the same time, these practices might look rather weird to someone who's not us. That's what we're focusing on today, as our list is made of people sharing the weird habits of their significant others. So, let's dive in and decide whether these are actually weird or quite normal!

    Four curious dogs peeking over a stone wall under a clear blue sky, capturing hilarious and weird moments. She waves at dogs. Not like a little howdy, but like a full on manic waving. So of course dog owners think she is waving at them because who waves at dogs? This leads to awkwardness as some men think she is flirting and some women think that she thinks she knows them. But really she just loves dogs.

    Do the dogs know she's waving at them? That's the only thing that matters

    Humans are pretty interesting creatures — our bodies have so many little quirks, some that we know and some that we don’t know of. For example, did you know that our mouths produce around a litre of saliva every day? Or that our bodies emit a light that isn’t visible to the naked eye. So, you get what we mean when we say that we as humans are interesting creatures, don’t you?

    Even if you take a singular organ, there are so many interesting quirks you can discover about it. The most interesting part of the human body is probably the brain. It is in charge of our thoughts, memory, emotions, motor skills, vision, breathing, temperature, and many other bodily functions.

    Condiment bottles and sweetener packets on a diner counter with folks revealing hilarious girlfriend secrets. Once upon a time my wife was a bartender. So whenever she cooks, she leaves every single freakin bottle on the counter uncapped, as if someone’s gonna come into the kitchen and order a shot of worcestershire sauce.

    Her family neglected and abused her and she only had the family pets to learn off of. Lot of weird animal quirks.

    Such a variety of responsibilities makes the brain not only interesting, but complicated, too. With our advanced medicine and technology, we still struggle with understanding many things about it.

    Along with thoughts and memories, the brain also comes up with a thing called a habit — any type of behavior or action a person engages in regularly.

    Two women laughing and chatting while holding cups outdoors, illustrating hilarious and weird things found secretly doing. Probably the switching languages as she speaks. I only speak English and it's the only language most people here speak but she studied away so mid conversation she would start speaking one of her 4 languages. It doesn't even seem intentional and she ends up having to repeat herself.

    While i've never heard of this method being employed, the logic behind it is 100% correct. In the coldest of nights, most everyone with a chill will dive under multiple layers of blankets, wrap them fully around themselves, blanket tucked under your feet, pulled up under your chin, right? Here's the thing though, we can't sleep, or at least sleep well if it's too warm....so sooner or later, most everyone sticks one foot out from beneath their cuddly cocoon, with final exposure varying from a few inches above the ankle to somewhere around the knee. It's so common that science has actually studied this behavior and found that it does effectively regulate body temp.

    Close-up of a woman with eyes closed, capturing a moment related to weird things girlfriends secretly doing. My ex used to hold full on conversations in her sleep.

    I found that if i asked her a question during her sleep talking.

    She would answer with 100% honesty and would not remember any of it when she woke up.

    And she would sleep talk every night without fail.

    I never told her about it and have not spoke to her in over 10 years.


    Its how i found out she had been cheating and some other scandalous things.

    She always thought her sister or her best friend were the ones telling me.


    Was here the entire time....

    Some of the habits promote better health, in a physical and/or mental sense. Like staying hydrated, applying sunscreen, exercising, and so on. Then, others aren’t so good, like using substances, not getting enough sleep, and bad hygiene, to name a few.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Every single one of us probably has a bunch of both good and bad habits. That’s what makes us human — the complexity. But what many of us probably also have are habits that we don’t even realize we have, that only people around us notice us doing. Or, at least we don’t admit that it’s a habit, as we may be ashamed, since it might be something unhealthy, silly, or simply weird.

I’m a dude with no beauty intuition, I can’t be THAT good at doing eyebrows to where she would rather me do it than herself. That and the sleep laughing.

    My wife has her own made-up vocabulary (e.g., instead of "interesting," she says "intra-stinking"). She has some learning disabilities, so language skills have always been more difficult for her. We've worked on it since we started dating (I used to work in special ed), and her reading and writing skills have improved to the point where she's now written two children's books.

    On today’s list, you will find a bunch of examples of weird habits some people have. What should be noted is that all of these weren’t shared by habit owners themselves, but by their significant others when someone online asked, “What is the weirdest thing your girlfriend does?” 

    The items range from kind of mild habits to actually quite crazy ones. It all depends on how you view what’s weird and what’s not. Let’s take waving at dogs – it’s a little unusual, but not fully unhinged behavior. Yet, for some, it might be something that crosses all their lines (that would be a very strict human being, but hey, who are we to judge).

    Person sitting on bathtub edge in modern bathroom with toilet, shower area, and green plants, reflecting on funny girlfriend secrets. Got a few.

    She sits down to have a shower. Not on a chair, like a geriatric. straight om the shower floor like a toddler. Then she drinks the warm water from the showerhead.

    She will sleep under three blankets and with clothes on and then turn on a fan on full blast because she 'gets hot'.

    She shuts herself in the bedroom or bathroom and dances in front of the mirror by herself and get's real embarrassed when i catch her. She has no problem dancing on a dance floor around people though. (I have told her that she's welcome to dance anywhere in the house, i find it endearing.)

    There are plenty more where that came from. Absolute weirdo, but I love her.

    Wall decorated with framed art and plants, illustrating quirky and hilarious things girlfriends do secretly. She's a little particular about the orientation of her decor. She notices if anything anywhere moves an inch. Among many other little decorative figurines, she had two cats on her dresser. I slightly rotated one a few degrees because its pose looked like it was supposed to rest against something, so I made it rest against the other cat. Just one figurine, slightly rotated.

    When next she entered the room she immediately noticed this, and in a confused tone inquired about why her cats had moved and what I meant by that

    I was amazed she even noticed and apologized, and there really wasn't more to it on my part than "Ima make this cat rest its chin on the other cat".

    Another example from a list would be someone taking crackers into a shower and eating them when they get wet and soggy. We admit that sounds pretty bizarre (and gross) to us, but apparently, for someone, it’s fairly normal.

    Close-up of a bacon sandwich with barbecue sauce held in hands, highlighting hilarious and weird things found secretly. No matter what. My wife eats burgers upsidedown.

    Yk that sesame seed part at the top? Yeah it's always facing the bottom. She grabs it normal, she unwraps it normal. But somehow she ALWAYS finds a way to put it upside down. I've even watched her process, I f*****g blinked and it flipped over I swear on everything.

    Edit: for anyone wondering, yes technically it would be better to do it that way. However my wife is a messy eater as it is. This does not stop the burger from going absolutely everywhere. At least in her case. She's always been a strange one and I love her for it

    I also asked her about it once, she says she doesn't do it for any particular reason it just "happens that way".

    That is actually proven to be the best way to eat them - there's more integrity in the top part so it holds together much better. I've eaten them that way for as long as I can remember.

Even when I've put the blanket over my head (to block out light/sound) I have to kind of make an angled open pocket that I can breathe out of XD

    I will answer this for my boyfriend because tonight he mentioned it again. I "don't know how to sleep with blankets". When it is my turn to sleep in (parenting), I do stick my feet out, and turn, make the blankets go sideways, put them between my knees, sometimes off the shoulder but on my back--all in all can spend an hour sleeping in every position making a mountain of blankets when I am done.
    I rarely remember to make the bed. He sees this mess, convinced I don't know how to use blankets.

    P**s off more than "weird" perhaps. But, along the line 🙃.
