Anyone else?

I do that too when watching TV. 8, 10, 12, 14, etc.

I guess we're both weird.

*edit* Damn I thought I was just crazy wiki



Oh and btw a weird habit of mine I dont know anyone else doing... Youll probably think its freaky but... when listening to songs I like, I tend to replicate the drum pattern by clashing my teeth LOL its softly though, no one would notice unless I told them, but its fun, I got amazing coordination with teeth because of that


I do the same thing too. I also do it if I have a song stuck in my head.

It's amazing the different drum sounds you can get out of your teeth in your head...

I can't fall asleep without some kind of constant background hum, usually the noise of my A/C.

lol, i have the same exact habit.. weird, but i find even numbers to be good and odd numbers to be evil

Creepy, but I'm the same way too ...

Wow, 3 people with the same weird habbit? I thought I was the only one. I am now somewhat relieved :)

I do that as well, i think it stems from my primary school years, division of an odd number was somewhat more difficult than an even number, so i hated odd numbers because they were a PITA to work with back then.

lol. I use to be the same except I always set them to odd numbers. Even numbers were dirty...

Whenever I exit my car, I reset all the knobs. Fan off, Temp in the blue as far left as it can go, vent position blowing to top. Then I turn down the volume of the radio to zero, but never turn it off.

I also switch off the AC a minute or so before I park and shut off the car.

I do that because I think it helps prevent the funny "AC smell".


I have to watch movies in the dark. It drives me crazy to watch a movie with lights on in the room.

When I cut my fingernails, I have to cut them all. Even if I just cut them a couple days ago, if I get a hangnail or snag or something on one nail that I have to cut, I'll go and cut them all.

If I'm not going anywhere on a particular day, I usually just wear shorts and a tee-shirt, regardless of weather. It's pretty much impossible for me to get myself dressed if I don't actually need to go somewhere.

Don't forget to reset the seatbelt so it is hanging straight, not snagged or twisted. :D

I've got it worse, on days where I don't have class, I'll usually stay in whatever I slept in; shorts and a tee, sweatpants and a tee, whatever. I also tend not to shave when I don't have class.

All you people here have serious mental disorders I think. :p If I started counting the letters in each word spoken by someone I'd get lost after they said "Hi." And colors for days / letters / numbers?
