Strange habits and weird behaviours

[Imurg]

When I process my drivers fuel receipts there is one guy who always has full pounds, zero pence.

Very occasionally there will be a 1p at the end and I can imagine his inner scream at the time ?

I do this coz I can't be bothered messing around with piffling small change.

I guess mine is the completely random song riffs that enter my head at completely random times..I might not have heard the song for years but..boom....there's the riff...sometimes I don't even like the song..now that's a pain..

I can't stop myself trying to stand in the HNSP when others are teeing off...

And when playing, matches especially, I sing along to myself...if I don't have any current appropriate earworm my default is 59th Street Bridge Song...(as in...slow down, you move too fast...)

Plus I'm always in the lookout for vintage MB and Waddingtons board games (drives my Mrs nuts)

I wave my hand over the burners on the gas hob to make sure they are off every night before I go to bed.

(my missus has a habit of leaving one on very low having forgot to turn it off when she's finished cooking)

That reminds me of a mate who once had an argument with the forecourt manager. He only wanted £5's worth because it was all he had on him. He claimed the extra 1p went on as he put the pump back in the bracket. - Imagine every transaction having an extra 1p added to it.

I can't stand getting a cup of tea that's only 3/4 full, my missus does it on purpose I think. I have to go and add more hot water to fill it up.

HID has a large coffee first thing in the morning in a large cup then a small one later in a small cup. She hates cups that aren't full too, sometimes I make her small coffee in her large cup

You're a devil right enough, shame on you. ??

When doing something mundane like the washing up or taking a shower, many people sing to themselves.
Most people sing a couple of lines only, because that is all they remember.
I know all the words to loads of songs and sing them all the way through from start to finish. I'm not normal in this respect.
I've never sung in public and I can not read sheet music or play any instrument.
Sometimes, if a song comes to my mind that I used to know, I will go through it silently in my head until I get all the words memorised again.

I am just the opposite.
I play guitar but can’t remember the words to songs but always remember the chords.
I am very tidy and don’t like clutter

 

[KenL]

Yep, I am an even number person too.

That's just odd. ?

Not so much now but when I used to DJ I had a strange habit of pitting the opposite side of the vinyl on the platter, spinning it back 5 times and then flipping it to the side I wanted and then spinning it back 3 times before putting the cart down on it.

I also always carried two record boxes to gigs, one had a Ruffneck Records sticker on it and the other a Rabbit City Records sticker, the one with the Ruffneck sticker I always carried in my right hand.

No idea why I did it...

Apart from confirming thst golfers are a weird bunch ?? I wasn't expecting to post on here, but the above made me think.
Not having paid cash for fuel for a decade I'd weaned myself off doing that, but I do at times find myself picking other numbers, especially if pay at pump isn't an option - like 20.22 (the year) or 28.02 (today's date).
Not a compulsion though, as stuck thirty something in tonight on a pay at pump.

That reminded me of Peter Kay talking about when he used to work at a petrol station and some bloke came in raging about the same thing.

Bloke: "you've done that, added that penny"
Peter: "why would I do that for a penny?"
Bloke: "well... you know... pocketing it! If you did that to 20 people in a day you'd have..."
Peter: "what? 20p? Jog on..."

Anyone making fun of people with OCD should leave the Forum!

And shut the door five times on the way out!!

Reminds me of when I lock up at night. We have 2 doors in the conservatory and I check each one before going to bed. Then I think, did I check the left one, then just to make sure check the right one again. And so it goes on!
It's not really weird, more like an age thing!
Oh, and one final check. ?

I am still using the same 11 numbers for the Lottery that I used for my line when I started doing the football pools in 1984.

I'm using the same 6. Can't stop now because I can remember the numbers & would never forgive myself if they came up when I had changed them. Do it by direct debit just in case I ever forget.

I will only use the ball marker for whichever Tampa sports team has most recently won - Bucs, Lightning or Rays. Does bugger all for my putting.
