Odd habits..?

edited May 2011 in Chit chat
Anyone here have any?

I have problems deciding where to park, when faced with multiple empty spaces in a car park. I usually end up driving around the lot before picking one, when there's nothing stopping me just driving into the first one I see.

Don't have trouble making other decisions in life, just picking parking spaces. :roll:

    i usually have to touch things 3 times, also i wash my hands before i go to bed, i just can sleep with them being dirty. (although i dont re-wash if i mess them in bed)

    think ive mentioned them before in a previous OCD thread, but though i better do again in case something bad happens to me.

    ...Do you feel slightly disappointed if they don't smell?

    I wash my hands way too much.

    There's a rug at the bottom of my stairs that gets pushed about when people get to the bottom. I'm forever adjusting it so it's straight.

    All my games are always stored in alphabetical order.

    I smoke a tab after every meal, without fail.

    I always come back to the back door before going to bed to check if it's locked, even though I know I locked it.

    The list goes on... and on... :smile:

    I do that with doors / windows / fridges and check the oven is off.

    with my car I check the wing mirror is turned in .. There are a few dented cars on my road that I avoid parking near.
    I normally leave the radio on to sleep.

    I have an order of doing certain things, like when I sell something on say ebay, I'll mark it as dispatched when it's packaged / ready to go.

    or the night before work, I'll put somethings in the car I need for work.

    I managed to break that part of the habit when I quit for 6 months, I still never smoke after a meal now, it's the one thing I've managed to stick to, even though I'm back to about 10-15 snouts a day now (better than the 25-30 a day I was biffing when I was smoking rollies though).

    Plus I don't smoke Ganja anymore either...not 100% out of choice though :D

    Another one here for the hand-washing thing. I've been tapping away at this keyboard for a while, so I'm off to wash them again now. I always wash them after I've been outside as well, even if I haven't touched anything. They've BEEN outside! Erk.

    I'm a serial handwasher as well apparently? I don't think I wash them too much but my mother and my wife both say I do.

    I said to my ma one time after she'd complained about me washing my hands that if the house wasn't scruffy I'd wash them less. She wasn't best pleased with that one.

    I've tried to break the habit a little at work, there's sanitising wipes in the break room, but I'm not sure it really makes much difference as I use about 15 of them at a time :D

    I don't care for the sanitizing wipes nor the squirty stuff serving the same purpose. That stuff usually dries out my hands, and that's an icky feeling.

    Aye, I, too, am a serious serial hand washer.

    But I don't experience it as being an odd habit, nor that I "feel dirty". I just prefer my hands to be clean. And I rarely have dirty fingernails ... that's another yucky thing I prefer not to experience. Not that I have long nails. And not that I never get dirty there. I do realise that when I'm out doing yardwork or working on my bike (read: bicycle (so as to not excite THX prematurely)) my hands and fingernails will get dirty, and I'm ok with that. So it's not a "fear" of dirt(nor a fear of any sorts), I just prefer to have clean hands. ( Repeat much? -Ed )

    they did this subject on the radio a while back in relation to keyboards / public toilets etc. how people will wait for someone else to open the door handle so they don't have to.. or use a bit of bog roll to.

    Probably a good thing, that. Dunno what it's like round your neck of the woods, but the price of it here has shot through the roof... ;)

    I do recall working with a smoker who was bragging about going for an interview for a job on the underground the next day..

    he'd obviously not thought it thru.. as they do random testing + that stays in your hair follicles for 4 weeks. He changed his mind about going after I told him about that.

    I guess its fine if you are bald then.

    we did a thing at work to promote handwashing techniques, they put powder on your hand and make you wash them, then shine a black light to show up the bits you had missed. when it came my turn i just gave them a little wash and let them get on with telling me how to wash properly. i didn't want to show them my regular technique of giving them a quick soap, rinsing, then a proper scrubbing in case they thought i was a mental.

    as for toilets, i do give the seat a quick wipe with a piece of loo roll, im sure that gets rid of all the germs. like when you dropa bit of food on the floor and give it a quick blow to take away all the nasties. :lol:

    It stays in your system for that long, they can get it from a strand of hair long after 4 weeks, with advanced testing apparently they can trace it back to about 2 or 3 years (I don't really believe that though, I think it's scare mongering).

    Going back to the bog seat, aren't there supposed to be more germs on a tea towel/hand towel or something?

    You could eat your dinner off a bog seat.

    yeah more germs, but poo germs are worse.

    I'm not crazy and go washing my hands every few seconds but i do think you get way way more germs when you shake someones hand.

    I mean how many times have you gone to the loo in a pub, most people dont wash their hands and go straight out, seconds later theyre shaking someones hand. Urrgh.

    Dont quite know what toilets you've been visiting ! These 'toilet guys' sound very suspicious ! Sure these blokes arent in toilets looking through peep holes or that ?!

    this is one of the reasons i don't like going south, too many people in the toilets with more that just pissing on their minds. :p

    You know the ones! The little chaps in nightclub toilets who try and sell you a splash of Lynx.

    That's a thread in itself, the phrases they use:

    "No splash, no g**h"
    "No Armani, no punani"

    And the like...
