Welcome to Week 4 of 7 weeks of Weird hosted by the fabulous Mental Mama herself. You can find all the information you require HERE!
I’m late this week, but I’ve been late on everything. It’s a good job the Mental one is relaxed about the whole thing or I could have been on the receiving end of a kick up the arse all the way from the United States of America.
Weirdest Habit / Routine You Have
Until I started thinking about this I was pretty sure I didn’t have any weird habits or routines. I read Sheena’s post and found myself nodding when she said she swore too much, because I too resemble that remark.
On giving it further consideration I realised there are a few weird things that I do. Are they habits, routines or good old OCD, who knows.
- I’ll check to make sure the doors are locked at least twice before I go to bed. I’m not however as picky about this as I used to be, owing to the fact going up and down the stairs now requires more effort due to my wonky leg.
- For some strange reason I count when I chop or shred vegetables.
- I hate sitting down at night to do anything (tv or blogging) unless all the dishes have been washed and put away.
- I carry a cigarette behind my ear. I don’t do this as much now that I have changed jobs, but I used to do it a lot. When it was behind my ear I didn’t want to smoke it.
- When I telephone doodle I either write my name over and over again, or draw eyes and weird faces.
- I hate answering the door to strangers so I usually hide :)
- I try to sit in the same seat on the train in the morning. I get a little territorial if someone has made it there before me, although I have not yet got to the stage of pulling them out of it. In my defense the one I like has more let room and is perfect when your knee will not bend as far as it used to.
- I nearly always put milk in my coffee before the water goes in, unless of course it’s really strong coffee!
Woohoo, perhaps I am weird after all….what about you?
The Indecisive Eejit 
Good stuff, when we are on the interstate and pass signs that have numbers I have to repeat them to myself, but I do it silently, no point in driving everyone else crazy just cause I am.

I wonder if you mentioned it would they all say, hey, we do that too lol

I hear you with the train…I used to try and get the same seat…and the dishes have to be put away.

I wonder if I can sew a name tag to the seat like I had to do with my school uniform way back when lol

Oh wow, some of the people on the bus when I used to ride it to work were crazy over “their” seats. I hated going in early or staying late because it was a different set of riders and I never knew who I was ticking off!
I don’t answer my door hardly, if it’s one of Matthew’s friends they usually text him from outside :-)

I just like the seat with bigger leg room. Depending on which side of the train you are on also depends whether you can see or not due to the low lying morning sun.

I’ve been known to carry a cig behind my ear as well, though it depends on whether I’m wearing my glasses and if my hair is up or down – that all effects how well the damn thing stays in place. ;)
LikeLike
Oh I know. I’ve lost so many doing that, down my back, down my front and even down my sides. Most infuriating thing tho is your last cigarette, warm day, sweat and the fecker breaks in half just when you need a smoke lol

My ears are apparently only good for displaying earrings, holding my glasses up, and not hearing a damn thing.

Sometimes not hearing things is the only way forward lol

Coming to think of it, watching dance videos calms me down. That is weird.

Not really, I watch Ellen videos on You tube to cheer me up lol

I always check the locks twice before going to bed. The counting thing is a focusing mechanism that some people develop naturally, but some OCD people do count. Actually most of that sounds like me, so maybe we are both in the same boat. :)

Perhaps you are my doppelganger, only my mustache is not quite as magnificent lol

Keep working on it, Miss Juls. I brush mine 100 strokes on each side of ‘stache and ‘burns at morning and night. Then you must pet it nicely and tell it that it matters. :)

If I pet it nicely it might decide to stay. Oh my, imagine I did wake up one morning with a handlebar mustache, I would never forgive you lol
