Would this be considered weird?

[spartan231490]

Well, this forum probably finds it weird. I collect firearms and reload ammunition.

 

[Thespian]

As far as "Do you think this thing I do is weird" threads go on the internet, this one was ridiculously tame.

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.

Also to add more discussion value. Do you do anything weird or odd instead of normal use in how to perform something?

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

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...

if your dog and hammer thing is what im thinking then yes you are not alone for that my good sir

It's become a term for nerds who play video games all the time because the men often fail to shave their necks and just shave their faces, although I don't have a neckbeard it does atually describe me pretty well XD

I...do not get it. Why would you shave your face but not your neck? What's the point of shaving at all then? Is this some new stereotype for geeks that I'm not aware of, being incapable of shaving like a normal person?

Ok no, I lie, I shower regularly, but I am slothenly

This one seems to have passed me by entirely. Poor hygiene is the mark of geekdom now? What happened to glasses and an interest in Lord of the Rings?

My god, I'm out of touch...

Hurrah! Let's get together for some sexy fun! I'll bring the hammer, but you'll have to supply the dogs - I've been barred from most local rescue centres after...well, let's just call them a series of incidents.

 

[deathninja]

I tend to use shampoo bars due to my long, flowing mane (you just rub them in, great for travel, plus Lush stuff smells AWESOME). So not weird in my book.

 

[Dangit2019]

Well, I kept trying to flush, but the bodies wouldn't go down.

DAMMIT Jesse, I told you to use a plastic bin, if you try to flush him down, the acid will go through the toilet!

 

[elvor0]

Putting stuff in my pockets requires specific pockets or I feel odd all day.

Phone and Headphones in left pocket, wallet in right pocket and keys in right jack pocket(in case someone tries to mug me really).

I also have a rhythm for tapping things, whether that be knocking on someones door or tapping off water from a tea spoon. It gets even wierder when you consider that that rhythm gets split according to how many mugs there are, without me even thinking about it.

Also, everything MUST be alphabetized. I also like to keep series together so the Legacy of Kain Series fucks me right over. None of them have LOK on the spine, so I can't put them together, because then they're not alphabetized, but I can't take them apart because they they're not serialized, and I can't put them in Chronological order either, because some games cancel out the events in other, or create games that exist only in reverse to the prior game. ARGH it's an ordering paradox unto itself! It's like the story gained sentience to fuck with me.

I suppose it comes from the WoW player stereotype portrayed in South Park

Fat, lazy, loads of stubble, bad hygiene and stubble

I know literally no people like this, but it's fun to make fun of what I as a gamer/otaku/geek get labelled with

Oh, is that what an otaku is? I'd heard the word, but thought it was something to do with anime, and thus nothing to do with me. Anime and I, we do not get along.

I am apparently a terrible geek - I may be lazy and overweight, but damn it, at least I shave and shower!

 

[J-meMalone]

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

It's actually quite effective, if you can get the timing right. I rarely do too.

What else do I do... I think up hypothetical conversations and say my parts out loud when on my own. As in, full conversations, it's normally quite accurate too.

Captcha: don't tase me
I'll never stop captcha, never.

An otaku is an anime fanatic, which is what I primarily am, but I'm also a gamer and invested in several fandoms making me a geek

As a skinny, healthy, socially active, hygienic female I'm almost the exact opposite of the stereotype, but still get labelled with it a lot with it on the internet ^_^

Ah, right, thanks for the clarification. I thought it sounded a bit...Japanesey...to be just another euphamism.

Maybe you should eat more, wash less, and stop going outside? Fulfil your true potential! Be all you can be!

Yes! I shall start the gender reassignment process right away!! Soon I shall sport the most GLORIOUS neckbeard the world has ever seen!!

That first part was meant to be answering OP's question about his soap. When I was young/discovered this, I wondered why nobody else did it, it was SO much faster and more fun than shitty "walking". Animalmode is basically second nature to me nowadays

I'm not sure that being male is actually a requirement for being a fat lazy smelly slob, you know

 

[Snowbell]

It's a requirement for growing a beard

Clearly you haven't met some of the women I have!

ALTERNATE PUNCHLINE!

Only on your face!

Ah I see, no the soap thing is impractical.

Good to know I'm not the only one to "beast mode" up stairs!

Your personal Hygiene habits are weird and you should feel weird!

I'll just leave this right here

Aside from that, whatever works for you works. I know people that still use baking soda to brush their teeth.
