Little things that make you, you

[Nige]

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

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

I do the iced versions of both coffee and tea, not the hot stuff.  :P

[Bill Manspeaker]

ohhhhhhhhh

so the N is starting bottom left corner, up, diagonally right, up

when I first read it I thought you said you started on the right hand side of the N. so start bottom right corner, up, back to the bottom diagonally left and down

that just sounds like a cheat on a Playstation or something so I hope that makes sense

but yeah I start top left and go down first

[Nige]

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

So, afaik or what I remember being taught was like this:


But I've always written it like the one in this pic:




Oh and for those like Kyle curious about the mouse grip.



Basically, the only time I use any other fingers on my hand with that grip is when I use my index finger to right click when necessary.

[Bill Manspeaker]

well how about that. I've never seen anyone hold the mouse like that. interesting shower. the more you know :P

[GoLions]

I do them the same as you Nigey boy. But you still hold your mouse flowering weird :P

[Big Mac]

Yep I write my N's the same way as you nige  :P, do my M's the same, starting at bottom left

You're alone on the mouse thing tho, that's weird af  :-X ;D

So I guess my little thing would be that a lot of things have to be 'even' for me. When I'm listening to the radio or watching TV, gotta have the volume on an even number. Same with like adjusting brightness and all that stuff as well.

But wait, there's more. If I'm having a drink, I have to take an even amount of sips before I put my glass down. If I'm on reddit, I have to view an even number of links on a subreddit before I go do something else. I have a few puzzle-type apps on my phone, and when I do a few at night, I can't close the app if I've completed an odd amount of puzzles.

My family thinks I'm crazy :P (inb4 someone says I'm very odd)

You are very odd (and that's coming from mouse grip guy :P).

I'm the exact same with the even numbers thing though, especially TV volume. In fact, I swear I read somewhere that it's actually kinda common.

[RaisyDaisy]

I do similar things Dave

We have OCD, or at least OCD tendencies  :-\

And Nige, I'm still feeling ripped off here. 2 years now I've thought that hahaha

Don't know too many Indian Nige's I guess, which threw me off :P

I said a lot of things, not everything :P

There's more, but I'm not gonna go into that stuff...

I wouldn't be surprised tbh. I also count the number of steps i take when I'm on my own (usually in sets of 8 ). I dunno why, I just do.

[Nige]

Managed to think of a few more.  :-X :P

When I'm hanging out t-shirts to dry, I'm gotta pull them all on the line first, then put the clips on. And it's only for t-shirts, doesn't happen for jumpers and stuff.

I also like to sit on the same seat on the bus, I stare down the person in that seat if it's taken and reluctantly choose a different one. Pretty much always on the right side of the bus too. Similar on the train too, gotta always be in the last carriage on the train if it's going through the loop or the first if it goes straight to Flinders. Always one of the middle two carriages (depending on which seems to have less people) on the way back.

Oh and when I walk up to the bus stop on the main road, I always cross to the other side of the street once I get to the same house (number 11).

Yeah I have a bit of OCD at work when I pack certain things,like the iced donuts have to be in a particular colour order and then they have to be labelled the same way so it looks nice on the shelf and the mini mixed pastries,I pack so they are in the same order in each pack.
It drives me nuts when the other girls pack them wrong,I have to fix it or just not look at it haha

[DazBurg]

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.

i had a weird thing like that as a kid

but i used to get up and walk etc but was scared and couldn't talk even though i tried

i vividly remember when i was like 8 going out tot he lounge room seeing my mum and want to scream out to her but nothing would come out

she kept saying what's wrong

then i went back to bed

never knew what it was doesn't happen now though
weird
