OT: When I make tea 1/3 is milk, people seem to find that very strange and I have no idea why
Because you might as well drink warm milk if you're not going to taste the tea? :p

A hacksaw, of course! What was I using this fucking hatchet for?
Because you can't smile while you use a hacksaw, all work and no play makes murder a dull business.

It's like tea-flavoured milk! It has none of the bitterness of tea and not too much of the sweetness of warm milk - it's delicious

On-topic: Not paticularly weird, impractical though. Sometimes I run up the stairs like this:

Yeah, I sometimes do that, too. When I was a kid, I think I just did it to climb up stairs faster and it just stuck with me over the years.

OT: Similarly to SonicWaffle, I tend to put belongings of mine in certain pockets and putting them in different ones than normal feels strange. For example, my glasses' cleaning cloth MUST go in the front right pocket. Otherwise, everything is completely wrong and must be fixed immediately.

If I have a group or list of something, it MUST be alphabetized. Music playlist, game library, whatever. If it is not alphabetized, it is to be fixed ASAP. I may or may not have OCD. Probably not.

Use one of these instead. Body soap is not good for your hair; it dries it out & strips it of essential oils, especially if that soap happens to be Irish Spring.

My hair is super oily so it balances it out and my hair never drys out so I haven't had any problems of that nature.

It depends what you constitute as weird, doesn't it? I do things that, for all I know, everybody else does too. For instance, I always have to put things in the "correct" pockets, and it feels weird when I deviate from that.

Front left trouser pocket - mobile phone, earphones for mobile phone (formerly tobacco & papers prior to my most recent quitting attempt)
Front right trouser pocket - house keys, work keys, pack of gum (formerly lighter, see above)
Back left trouser pocket - spare, or if I have anything paper it gets folded up and goes in there
Back right trouser pocket - wallet

Is that insane? I don't know. It might be, but who am I to judge? I also have a very specific order in which I wash in the shower (face with soap, hair with shampoo, body with shower gel), I can't watch a TV show or read a book series (comic books are a nightmare for this)unless I can begin from the very first installment/episode, and sometimes I get sexual enjoyment from killing dogs with a claw hammer. Everyone has their own little quirks, right?
You are not alone I always have to have stuff in the same pocket it feels so wrong in the other pockets

I dont think its wierd.
If you are a guy, you can get away with just using a bar of soap.

Now, when I saw a friend using baby oil to style his hair, i was like "NOOOOOOOO!!!!"

All the things I've done that "normal" people consider weird, members of this forum have assured me are completely natural and not in the least bit weird at all.
Just bolded that for emphasis, but you might not want to take your cues as to what constitutes normalcy from random strangers on the internet. We're pretty weird.
I'm very aware those things are considered weird by normal people and the only reason they aren't considered weird here is because we are a weird bunch of people.

HOWEVER, when you say something you do is weird and the community at large tells you you're wrong and that they also do those things, does that not make it normal within the community?

To be truly considered weird, one should be able to list something not even people who frequent the same circles can relate to.

Edit: Also Mr. Waffle I have your response coming, it's just early here and my brain needs to wake up.
Technically speaking, there isn't really a 'normal' person. People just like to hide behind a thin veneer of 'normalcy'. A truly 'normal' person would be the most boring, bland person on the entire planet, and I'm relatively sure that probably 99% of the human population has something about them that other people would consider weird. And then that boring, bland person? He's 'weird' because he's so much different from everybody else. 'Normal' is a misnomer because it's impossible to define what makes a person 'normal'.

That's pretty ordinary, surely? It's all just paper, designed to be soft and thin. I can't really see the difference :p
It's all just paper, but people look at me like I have six eyes instead of the usual four. Like, I'm not even joking. I think it's because one comes from the bathroom.

The only LOGICAL argument I've ever seen is that toilet paper is septic safe, which means it breaks down in water. This has never been a problem for me, the tissue breaking down in my hands, but at least it's an actual reason.

That's...pretty weird. I'm sitting at my desk at work right now, and I've got a roll of toilet roll right next to the monitor that I use to blow my nose on. Nobody bats an eye to it, because it's cheaper than buying Kleenex and functionally identical.

Next time somebody looks at you like you're a weirdo, pretend to blow your nose then stare at the paper a few seconds before giving it a tentative lick. That'll cement your reputation for being normal!

Oh, I thought you were going to say I wasn't alone about the dog/hammer thing. That's a shame, I was going to invite you to a very special sort of party...

I can't speak for everyone but I have long hair and if I use soap instead of shampoo my hair tangles pretty bad. Soap is fine for short hair though.

And uh, yeah I do some weird stuff (Awesome stuff more like) at my school I entered at the north facing entrance and my first class was on the second floor of the north side, but the stairwell was all the way down the south side of the building. But there was this part of the building where I could do a Parkor wall run to get up to the second floor and bypass the stairs all together.

Yeah it goes cold pretty quickly, but I like to drink my tea right away when I make a cup rather than waiting for it to cool or scolding my tongue oh a too-hot beverage

Plus, I drink and eat everything really quickly, I never have to worry about it being cold

On an unrelated note, I see people are still mis-gendering my purpousefully girly username and female avatar :L

It's kind of weird that you're telling people this. It's your personal cleaning habits. Shouldn't really make a difference to anyone but you unless it just, y'know, doesn't actually clean you.

I've never heard of anyone doing that before, but whatever works for you.

As for me, well I don't know what you'd consider weird.

Oh man, I haven't used this gif in forever.



Shampoo has always worked miles better for me. But then, I haven't had 'short' hair since before I entered high school, and I absolutely despise bars of soap. Literally despise. I don't throw around the word 'hate' lightly, but I'll use it to describe how I feel about those stupid, useless, slippery bars of soap. I've never understood how anybody who has used a bath scrunchie and a bottle of body wash would ever be satisfied with a bar of soap afterward.

But then, I guess there are probably people who think other people that don't use loofah sponges are crazy, too, so to each their own.
I use shampoo, but as for soap, I like a bar of soap more than body wash. What I do is I wrap the bar in a small washcloth and scrub that way. Soap saturates the cloth and doesn't slip away.

I've never cared for the texture of a normal washcloth. On the few occasions that I'm forced into using a washcloth and a bar of soap, that's what I'll do as well, but I prefer the pouf and a bottle of body wash.

And I think discussing shower habits on the internet is a bit weird in itself.

I say again - crazy. If tea isn't so bitter that it hurts to drink, then by god it isn't tea at all. It's just brown water :p

Your avatar is not girly, though, it seems to be terrifying instead. She looks like she's going to eat my face.

Also, I didn't actually look, I was too busy being astonished at your cavalier attitude to tea. I was all set to challenge you to a duel!

I always use shampoo and conditioner for my hair. My hair is very important to me, I'd feel terrible if I got it cut.

Wait? That actually work? And no I'm not going to try it out tonight!

Also I wouldn't think it's weird per say as if it works than I can't call foul over the weirdness to it.
