odd habbits

19 Oct 2006

Just been pondering for the last hour or so what quirky habbits people have, for instance it's shower night here and after a brief conversation with Pk she told me she had a shower last night..........no ya didn't I reply you had a bath as I ran you one.............yeah but I had a shower afterwards I always do she told me dunno

Mine however are worse, er when I use the toilet I tend to take my shirt off for some reason confused

Also on the subject of toilets I have this thing with public ones where I won't touch the door handles on the way out incase someone hasn't washed their hands, I either push the auto close bar at the top of the door and open it that way or just stand there waiting for someone to come in confused

Come on fess up what little quirks do other members have smile

actually like many a thread in the cafe, this thread has very little point as such to it, other than just a bit of a laugh......

that's all very well fire but I have a suspicion that Sheddy is a little older than your son........being a 30 yr old hairy assed trucker........ lol

now whilst taking his shirt off to go to the toilet at home I can understand, I'm now worried that he does it in public toilets (or laybys for that matter) aswell......... confused

I do exactly the same, or if it's a "U" shaped handle I'll pull it at the bottom in the hope nobody else has!!! They all probably do the same.

I used to do this as a little boy, thankfully I gave it up, can't remember when.

my point exactly...........if you have a bath you are just sitting in the stuff you've just tried to wash off.......so I have a shower afterwards..........makes sense to me anyway........ smile

my oddity is i HAVE to shower after pervin posh kate.......... lol

as varca says cue macaveli69 :2fingers:

20 Oct 2006

I don't think i have many odd habits (but i'm sure Debbie will say otherwise confused

) but i know most of the time things have to be always put back in their place and it bugs me if they are not, like for instance when i get in the car my baccy tin, lighter and phone go in a cubby hole and a certain way so they don't rattle next to each other (yeah i know loon

)
And being a hairy assed trucker like Sheddy i know where he is coming from when using public toilets, i do the same, i grab the handle where i think noone else would.
And i hate using the showers in the services when i know there has been a few hairy assed truckers in before me.

I have lots of weird habits, and yes I too always rinse myself under the shower after a bath - otherwise I don't feel properly clean.
One I will confess to is being a pick pocket - but with a difference! lol

If I'm standing talking to Mrs Kiss I always have a subtle (as possible) rifle through her pockets, but whatever I find I just put in another of her pockets without even looking at it. redface

She has gotten so used to it over the years that we just carry on talking as if nothing is happening.
I'm always asking people what their middle name is or what their maiden name was. I also have a large collection of notebooks for song writing etc. The problem is that if I'm starting a new project I have to used a 'fresh' one.
I think I'll stop writing this post now. lol

Not my odd habits but I do, through my work, come across some very odd people. One man like counting, he counted the following
1. The steps in his house
2. How long his stairlift took to go up the stairs
3. How many slices he cut a bannana into
4. How many cups he washed up
5. How many cups he dried up
6. How many trees he past when he went out for a walk (he kept a record of this in a notebook which he showed me)

I must be very odd too then. I'm just like the guy you mention but I stopped writing things down when I was a teenager. I still rinse a cup 3 times and always take 5 sips of water at a time etc etc etc.
(I also quite often post of 3 emoticons at a time. lol

)

20 Oct 2006

That sounds a little like OCD, counting and rinsing cups etc etc
But i must admit that i count how many steps i take to a lamp post or a certain car redface

started when i was younger but dont do it as much now, theres a few other things aswell but think i will keep them to myself redface

I don't have OCD - I have Aspergers Syndrome.

Was thinking that myself... doesn't seem to be a point other than as Mrs V does, uses the bath to shave her legs!

Well I can only speak for myself but I sometimes love to have a long relaxing soak in the bath, but I do feel that I'm not properly clean. So I jump in the shower for a quick rinse just to make sure that everywhere is squeaky clean and soap free.

The bath, for me anyway, is a lovely way of relaxing with nice smelling bubbles and a good book.
Using the right products can also make me skin feel nice :smug:
It also means I don't have to constantly deal with "Mum can I have............?" rolleyes

The shower is to rinse off and to wash my hair :thumbup:

Also on the subject of toilets I have this thing with public ones where I won't touch the door handles on the way out incase someone hasn't washed their hands, I either push the auto close bar at the top of the door and open it that way or just stand there waiting for someone to come in

Oooooh Sheddy, i do this too. I usually reverse through a push door with my bum to avoid touching the handle or grab a piece of toilet roll and use that to open it if the toilets look really bad!! And we all wash our hands as soon as we get back home! Some people have no personal hygeine rules which I find revolting.
