I'm bored so I'm reviving this thread. :B Other quirky quirks! - Whenever I pick up a magazine, I flip through it from the back to the front.
- Whenever I remove a piece of clothing from a hanger, I move the hanger to the front.
- I clean my desk at work every day but at home, I hardly ever clean it. Hurray for dust!
- I pretty much only drink hot/warm water at work but at home, it's cold or room temperature water.
- I rarely ask "How are you?" since, frankly, I could care less of how you feel. To me, it's a formality that ultimately means nothing since I doubt most people are genuinely concerned about what you're feeling. I usually greet people (over the phone or in person) with a Hi, Hello, Good morning, etc. though.
About the last point, try telling people you feel like crap or suicidal -- especially those that do the walk-by "How are you?" -- and see how many of them actually inquire into why you feel that way. |

Heh, I don't think I've posted anything here before.
One quirk of mine is that I always like to burp in my workplace once in a while. Deliberately. Dunno why. My colleagues got used to it somehow. They did look at me funny initially when they realized I was burping on purpose.
Another one is that I always stay until the credits end after each movie I watch. Even when I know that there won't be any extra scenes after.

I am.  Both ways! That is, standing on top of a high building and looking down, or standing below a gigantic monument/building/tower/blah, my knees feel like they're going to collapse under me! Ditto. I am really weak with heights some times, and other times, I just suck it up, but for most my life it was the latter. You should have seen me with my family at Niagara Falls. Little fat kid squatting, curled up and holding onto the railings for dear life. How ever, I went and saw the Washington Monument, and there were these really cool benches, where you could lay on them and look up at the monument. All was fine and dandy, until I started imagining gravity going the totally opposite way, and then I bolted straight up and held my head for a bit. I twitch my legs A LOT. Right now, twitching my legs. People would tell me to stop, 30 seconds later, I would be twitching again. I just can't help it. Never rocked though. It is funny that with some things, I can be a total wuss about, like touching a worm, and then other times I just let the bug crawl onto my hand so I can let it outside. Things like that have been really random for me recently. I am not afraid of ice, fire, heat, or what have you, but I am afraid of being in water more then 12 feet deep. Really the ocean frightens me, meanwhile, since I was 9, I always wanted to be a marine biologist. And still slightly do, but I realized that I wouldn't work too well. I know there are more, but I can't think of any. Fun topic, I like this message board, you get to talk about random things that you feel retarded about anywhere else. Thanks. -Jeremy |

Yes, I should thank everyone here for letting me start goofy random topics. :D This board has the perfect balance between maturity and silliness! That is why I love it so~~~~ |

Y'all a bunch of non-drinkin' non-fun havin' antisocial squares! It's okay. I forgive you. I got some shit wrong with me too! - I absolutely do not, can not, will not gamble. I know I have poor self-control and I already enjoy pretty much every other vice out there, so I'm pretty firm about not getting involved with one that stands to rob me of the little money for the least amount of payoff. I still do want to go to Vegas though! - I have trouble sleeping if my feet aren't colder than the rest of my body. I have to stick them out past my blankets, and I usually have a fan blowing on them in warm weather. Outside of winter, I can't stand it when someone else tries to sleep with their feet against mine. Too warm! Ugh. - I dislike even lightly used socks. I've decided that when I'm making the big money, I'm never going to wear a pair of socks twice. I also have a habit of wearing black socks even when they don't go with what I'm wearing. It's bad. I tend to avoid it by wearing slip ons whenever temperature permits! I say temperature and not weather, because the best way to avoid wet socks in the rain is by not wearing any and walking right through puddles! - This is just a recent thing, but the latest attempt at quitting smoking has been accompanied by a massive amount of stress due to moving, financial issues, etc. and I find that in addition to the normal headaches, I've developed a weird twitch. I shudder and then the head snaps to the right side. I think there was a move in the Thriller dance that sort of looked like this. Oh yeah, plenty of fun.  |

Hey, it's not all about gambling and getting your bone on with filthy broads! Only mostly. I'm more interested in the spectacle. There seems to be no place else on the planet that's so bright, so obnoxious, so... fake. I have to see it once! And get really sloppy and do many things I'll likely regret! Okay, so maybe it's a little about the debauchery.

Even when I know that there won't be any extra scenes after. I usually end up watching the movie credits too! Well... if I can that is. The people I'm watching the movie with usually just shut it off (if we're watching it on tv or something) or just get up from their seats (in cinemas) and force me along too. My opinions are quite ignored! I actually like watching the credits because they usually have the best music. And its nice when some extra epilogue pops out! And your burping habit just reminded me of how one of my friends does that too. XD She's a actually one of those really pretty and petite looking people and well... no one would expect someone like her to burp away. So whenever she did and some stranger was around, the stranger would end up giving dirty looks to the guys rather than her. XD As for not being able to stand one's feet being warm - I actually can't sleep if my feet are cold. I like cold windy winds all around me when I'm sleeping but my feet HAVE to be warm (or covered)! |

So what you're actually saying is that you do care how others are feeling. Oh hey, a quirk of mine! |

Well, yeah I don't get it why people leave the cinemas straight after the movie ends. I mean you're paying for the whole movie right? So why aren't you watching it all the way? I really hate it if I do miss the extra scenes just because I have to be in a hurry to leave like the others.
And about sleeping quirks, I have to keep at least 3/4 of my body covered with my blanket. Regardless of how cold or hot the night is. I just can't bear to leave too much of my skin exposed while I'm unconscious. I guess that's why they call it a "security blanket" huh.

It leaves something new for the DVD's if I leave when the credits show up, and nothing sucks more than waiting 10 min watching credits only to have no extra scenes.

A few seconds of DVD extra is not my reason for getting one. And I like sitting for 10 minutes, enjoying the air-conditioning and the comfy seats and watching other people scramble their way out of the cinema.
Well, since 90 percent of cinema watchers don't stay, I guess I'm one of the odd ones.

In all honesty, I just need to use the bathroom.... that large pop, 2 candy bars, and ex large popcorn usually makes its way through by the time a movie is over. I am done eating everything by the time the preview end ha ha.

"The inverted form I could care less was coined in the US and is found only here, recorded in print by 1966." D:! Not that the phrase is correct at all but I find that "and is found only here" interesting. ^^;;;;;; Oh! Oh! Here are two more for you: IRREGARDLESSor! DOGGY DOG WORLD |

Make that double "huh?"...
I guess nunuu is trying to promote some kind of vocabulary that evolved and spawned from the net. Since I've seen many people used "your" instead of "you're" on the net.

It's a spin off from what I was griping about, words and phrases that have mutated to the point they don't make any sense in context.
For instance, people say "I could care less" when they mean that they do not care at all. But saying that implies there is a deeper level of not caring that they could reach.
"Irregardless" is used the same way regardless is, although technically it should negate that meaning and mean the opposite.
"Doggy dog world" and "For all Intensive purposes" are people mishearing "Dog eat dog world" and "For all intents and purposes".

Well I could never understand half of your "American Slang". And I have absolutely no idea what black people say whenever they street talk.
