Little things that make you, you

[Bill Manspeaker]

tell us something weird about you. could be anything. doesn't even have to be weird. anything will do

for an example of how useless this bit of information can be, I always used to shave in the shower

my shower is in my bath, if that makes. so I'd shower, put the plug in after a while, let it fill up a bit so I could 'rinse' off the razor with the water in the bath (because I'd turn off the shower so I'm not wasting a ton of water)

so I'm cleaning my razor with my own filth. never thought of it that way

about maybe 6 months ago I shaved at the sink, before my shower. a flowerload quicker and easier. I bet most people have done this their whole life. not me

and I've only just clicked how funny that story could sound with our swear filter

so yeah, just anything like that. little nuances that make you - you

don't be shy it can be anything

I don't get it?  Wouldn't you get said filth and hair stuck to your feet and ankles when you let the water down the drain?  Please say no and I've misunderstood because I'm gagging just thinking about it!  :o

Little fact about me, I have had episodes of sleep paralysis since I was a kid, it's not an out of the ordinary thing, loads of people get it, but it's pretty flowered up and freaky if you don't know what it is, hell it's still flowered up if you do know what it is!  I'm also the 3% of people that get it whilst sleeping on their stomach (I can't sleep on my back, virtually impossible for me to fall asleep).

For those who aren't familiar with it, theres tonnes of info on the net and theres even a dock on Netflix called "The Nightmare" about it.  Feels like your mind is completely awake, but your body is paralysed and no sound comes out of your mouth, scary enough you say, try multiplying the scare factor by about 1000 as the other thing people experience during sleep paralysis is some sort of creature/demon/humanoid in the room with you.  The fact that I sleep on my stomach means I never see anything, but you can still feel a presence and hear sounds.  Pretty unpleasant experience, but I've learnt to recognise when it's occurring so I know I'll  completely wake up soon enough.

shower mate that does sound scary. reminds me of that movie "awake" I think it was called, where the guy went in for an operation but he ddidn't actually go to sleep. I've had so many operations so that to me is such a scary thing

sounds sorta like a lucid dream which could be awesome, but as you say it would be extremely scary if you got the feeling you were in danger. I've gotta check out that movie you said

and nah the there wasn't like a showerload of hair that would get stuck to me, it'd all go down the drain. and I'd put the shower back on to wash myself one more time anyway

[jvalles69]

Cool, I'd assumed you ran the shower at the end, haha.

Yeah it's a pretty nasty experience and my parents and grandparents have them too, but not sure if they're hereditary or not.  If I'm alone I kinda expect it now, but I prob haven't had one in over a year.

I've weirded out many people by showing them how I use/hold a mouse (the computer thing, not the animal; that mistake has been made before for some reason). Instead of the traditional way that I'm pretty sure everyone but myself does, I basically rest all my fingers on the right side of the mouse and use my thumb to scroll/click etc.

I apparently have been writing capital N wrong my whole life. Basically whenever someone sees me write my name for the first time, they flip out over that.

The other one which I know is still somewhat odd but more common is eating parts of meals separately. So if meat and 3 veg is on the menu for dinner. I'll eat each individual veg element or even the mash if it's there on their own and then have the meat. Family makes curry all the time being Indian. I always have the meat/chicken etc first and the bits of potato afterwards. In fact, I pretty much always save the potato for last no matter what dish it is, even when having Maccas, KFC etc.

[Bill Manspeaker]

that's the way Nige! I've never heard of anyone who uses the mouse like that! in fact I don't even know if I'm picturing it right ;D

interesting about the capital N too! how have you been doing it, like what does it look like? that'll probably be hard to explain. maybe do it on paint and upload the image or something like that

I used to be sorta similar with food, but my one is probably more common. I'd eat all my vegies (actually strangely enough - the only vegetables I used to eat up until I was 20ish were potato and corn) first, except I'll leave like half the potato there so I can eat it with the meat

[Nige]

that's the way Nige! I've never heard of anyone who uses the mouse like that! in fact I don't even know if I'm picturing it right ;D

Could probs take a picture and upload it if you're that interested.  :P

As far as I know, the correct way to write the N is by doing the first stroke as the left side of the N from top to bottom and then do the other two lines together. I've always done the first bit the opposite way, from bottom to top and then just continue on like that haha.

I get apoplectic if anyone puts their feet on my coffee table.

[meow meow]

I've never had a cup of coffee in my entire life.

Didn't know Nige was Indian too

Think I always pictured you as a pasty white kid  :P

another weird thing about me is the most insignificant shower is so very interesting to me so yes I would love to see how you hold the mouse :P

oh yeah like a backwards N. that's not too bad. are you left or right handed? I'm now picturing you as a lefty

[Bill Manspeaker]

whaaaaat! do you guys drink iced coffee? do you drink tea?

I love the odd cuppa tea :P

[Big Mac]

Wait what? Afaik that's exactly how I write my N's as well

Hahahaha, parents are Indian, I'm born and bred here though. I like to think my Indian genes are pretty strong at times, love my curries, cricket etc. Last time I went to India though, pretty much nobody understood me because I've got a deep voice, talk fast and my Aussie accent was too strong (to Indian ears) hahaha.

Hahah, I'll get on it.

Nah, right handed. Can't use my left to save my life aha.
