Mine is that I pour the milk before the cereal. people are always extremely confused by that.
“Mine is that I pour the milk before the cereal. people are always extremely confused by that.”
You’re a psychopath. lol
I pour cereal before the milk. It helps to have a mop, it’s a really big mess.
I eat kiwis with the peel
Australians are next
You’re going to eat Australians with the peel??
Do you remove the feathers?
Of course not, that’s where most of the fibre is found. I’d avoid the beak though.

When people often text me or call to make sure plans are still on, it has the weird effect of making me no longer want to go. I’m introverted, but if I make plans I will be there. So it sort of opens the door for me to cancel for some reason.
In the case of my wife’s family, if we make plans, most of them are guaranteed to show up late. We’ve made it a habit to plan things for 30 minutes to an hour before we actually want to start because we know they’ll be late. Being a veteran, it drives me crazy. If I’m not a few minutes early, I feel like I’m late.
Aah the South American timezones difference lol
I’ve made these arrangements many times with friends. To the point that I’d adjust different times for different friends.
The downside there’s always the new one that shows up on time when you’re still in the couch before having changes clothes
I noticed certain people will either change the time or day (or forget the confirmed time, or that they already initially set a time and seem to randomly change to what works for them without updating others and accuse like everyone else had the wrong time) or cancel without telling others. So those people I check to see if it’s still on and reconfirm the time even up to an hour before the meet up. I usually give up on a person who does that as it’s emotionally exhausting to constantly coordinate around a changing target. I get enough of that at my job.
Sock shoe sock shoe.
I have to test if the pants/sock/shoe combo works before committing to the whole process a second time.
What kind of incompatibilties have you experienced?
Sock is too exposed at the top of the shoe, leading to an unexpected clash of color or style, sock is squashed up the leg by the boot and disrupts the natural fit of the pant, slouch sock (the worst), and sometimes the shoe makes the sock seam really obvious around my toenails for no apparent reason.
I open bananas by pinching the bottom instead of ripping at the top (because it works better) and people act like I’m insane.
That is how apes open bananas too.
Not that I’m implying anything of course.
I looked into this and was unable to find quality evidence of such. I also open my bananas from the bananus
bananus
This shit is bananas.
See? The experts agree with me. Your bananas are upside down, not mine.
As someone who also has to argue about how wrong everyone else is…
I always tell them to imagine the iconic ‘slipping on a banana peel’ joke. Sometimes I make them draw it.
If you peel from the stem, it would never look like that. We have so many references that I challenge anyone to show me any media from any time period that shows the banana opened from the stem.
People learn the stem way as children because it’s easier with limited motor skills and just never give it up.
Technically, humans or homo sapiens sapiens are apes.
I break bananas in half instead of peeling them
You still have to peel them off right?
You just squeeze them like a gogurt
It’s how the other great apes do it too, which as far as I’m concerned is pretty much the end of the issue. It really is one of those things where there’s a right and wrong way to do it.
How does this work with that nasty little stump at the bottom of the banana? (Which everybody knows is pure poison… TIL: AKA the ‘bananus’)
Easy to discard or no?
I slice it a bit above the bananus and when you peel it it comes right out. Easy peasy
Yeah, it’s easy to discard if a little bananus bothers you. But I ain’t a’feared.
Also, I’m usually making smoothies so it’s not much of a concern.
Pro Tip: another advantage of peeling the gorilla-approved way is that you don’t have to separate them when peeling multiple. I usually eat a couple one-offs while the bunch is ripe and then, before the rest get brown and mushy, peel the rest to freeze for smoothies or banana bread or whatever. You can just peel several from the bananus side and save the step of separating them.
I worked in a restaurant that served Bananas Foster so that’s actually a pro tip. You may never have to quickly peel a whole bunch at once but cooks, busy parents, smoothie artisans, etc. frequently do.
Technically you’re opening from the top.
In a hand yes.
In a tree it’s the bottomEdit; No, I was wrong. Stick part always down
Incorrect, bananas grow from the stem upwards making the stem end, where most people open them, the bottom, OP opens their bananas from the other end.
Huh TIL thanks
I clap with the back of my right hand slapping the palm of my left hand (Bajoran style). I don’t know why but it’s how I’ve always done it. For some reason I really hate the feeling of my palms and finger undersides touching each other.
I clap really loudly. I cup the fingers off my right hand and bang them into the palm of my left hand. Sometimes people are annoyed by my choosing because it’s so loud. But we’re clapping? It’s supposed to be loud?
Brits seem to really love when I heavily salt tea and heat it in the microwave. I top it off by saying “Cheerio! Pip pip!” in my best southern drawl.
Don’t know why…
I think they’re amused at the person rather than the action. There’s a better chance of finding rocking horse shit than a Brit truly saying “Pip, Pip”, unless they’re from the US or an actor in a 1950’s black and white WW2 themed budget film.
I sigh loudly. Not vocally, but I take in a deep breath and then release it quickly. It’s a tension release to me kinda like yawning but everyone around me seems to think I’m upset or frustrated when I do it.
I do the exact same thing. Back in highschool people used to point it out or look at me weird or assume I was upset. My boyfriend asks me “What’s wrong?” and I respond with “Uhh…nothing?”
I’ve done it for as long as I can remember and it feels like it relaxes my nerves.
I sigh normally for the same reason, and people react similarly.
When eating pizza at a restaurant with a fork and a knife I start cutting bite size triangles from the center of the pizza, it’s pure chaos and people lose their mind when they see me haha
I read the second half of this in Heath Ledger’s joker voice
My odd habbit that I hope one day someone will call me out on is that I only scoop half a jar of peanut butter or any other sandwich spread from one half of the container. Ill dig and clean our the entire side of the container and then try to scoop the rest out from the bottom of the other side to leave the pristine untouched top-side of the jar as the last part of the food that is used.
This is a reference to Calvin & Hobbs, but ive been doing it for 20 years… So… Yah…
My wife was very offended when I started doing this 3-4 years ago from learning about it in /r/CalvinandHobbs
Needless to say, I no longer do that.
Haha before you mentioned C&H I was like hey I think I remember a Calvin and Hobbes where Calvin said that’s how he liked his sandwiches lol
I don’t listen to anything while driving
I’d go crazy if I were trapped alone with just my thoughts for that long.
That’s why I’m doing it. I think it’s healthy to sometimes take time to just sit with your thoughts and be bored. I find driving to be a good moment to do this. For the same reason I’ve decided to not use my phone when queuing either.
This is highly relatable to me as I’ve gotten older. I find it more concerning that others can’t live with their own thoughts and feel it’s necessary to drown them out with constant noise.
Never taken transit? (Without some headphone device.)
We’ll that’s when I’m on social media…
No motion sickness?
No, motion sickness.
I skip the fourth step from the bottom on every staircase. It started because multiple staircases I regularly traversed coincidentally all had spiders make their homes on the fourth step, so I’d step over them. And then I just never shook the habit.
ya know how you can like look at a light, like the sun or a light bulb, and as you move your eyes around you an kinda make shapes like whirling your eyeball around to make a circle with the light ?
well I do that but instead of just with lights, I do it with normal objects in my field of vision, and I do it really fast.
to the observer my eyes balls look freakishly fast moving, but to me I am making your head into a big star shape over and over again.
I have no idea what you’re talking about…
If you look at a light, when you blink there is a shape that appears.
For example, look at a light for a couple seconds, then look at the cover of a book dead center of your vision and blink. You may notice that it’s hard to immediately read the text, due to something missing in your visual field.
OP is saying they are able to imprint objects on their field of view, the same way they do with light.
Can you make your eyes shake left and right too? Or is that what you mean? There was a sub on the R place devoted to that, /eyeshakers I think.
I can do that, I was envious of a family member who could do it when I was young and somehow taught myself to be able to do it. Though I always called it “vibrating my eyes”. I can’t maintain it indefinitely unfortunately
yeah left right up down, all over in varying ways. well thank you for pointing me in the direction of others - maybe it’s not so unique after all. buuut I’m not going back to R place for some oculolinctus tomfoolery.
Give more exact timing than nearest 5 minutes. Eg “I’ll be down in 4 minutes” because I have an idea how long things actually take.
Then you must leave a path of annoyance and destruction.
as most tasks depends on many factors and if you estimated the correct prep time.
If it’s a 4 minute job on a computer and you hit a network lag, then you failed at determining factor calculation.
If you hang a shelf and estimate 10 minutes but didn’t do the prep of finding the stud then parts of the wall falls down, you failed at determining factor calculation for the task as you didn’t account prep time.
If you think you could clean a table in 2 minutes but then you realize the dishwasher wasn’t emptied, so you just left dishes on the counter for someone else to do the labour instead of accounting extra time then you failed at factor calculations.
If you determine 3 minutes to throw your laundry in the machine but didn’t factor the machine needed emptying first then you failed at factors.
Now if things are going on without a hitch, you can use time to your advantage for better preparation. If I give 10 minutes for a 7 minute task I’m gonna take that extra 3 minutes to grab a glass of water.
If however someone needs to know I will take exactly 7 minutes to hang a shit they need therapy and that stops being my problem to ‘time’ manage for them.
You: “You’re not allowed to estimate anything, anywhere, ever. Not allowed. The only allowable answer is I don’t know.”
Stop measuring your shits.
waiting in line when there are self checkouts available. I just dont like doing it.
abandoning self checkouts because the machine is yelling at you and the workers are busy elsewhere. they say self-checkout lane 7 is still blinking to this day.
“Remove item from bagging area!”
"Please wait, help is on the way… "Funnily enough I tend to find that if you just pick up your bags and walk away a member of staff is arrives pretty quickly. Wild, right?
yo I fucking hate that rude robot lady
I like the interaction.
I use the self checkouts specifically to avoid interaction.
