Something wierd someone else did that you now do
 
I remember at my friend's house once he ate chips with a plastic sandwich bag around his hand and I thought it was the wierdest thing I'd ever seen. However, I now almost always do the same thing since it's so nice not to have grease all over my hands.

sta500 08-02-2003 06:17 PM

Hahah, that's fucked up. I don't think I do anything thing like that.

MacGnG 08-02-2003 06:24 PM

Plummie 08-02-2003 06:25 PM

Brushing my teeth in the shower.

Thought it was weird for a long time, but now I've succumbed to the idea and I quite enjoy it. :)

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

You're one of them!!!

Showers are for cleaning the body. Keep dental hygiene where it deserves. Standing naked in front of the sink and mirror...

one of my friends used to chew on guitar pics and now i do to

crow_daw 08-02-2003 08:14 PM

YUP, I got one.

My friend ALWAYS licks the inside of his chewing gum wrapper before popping the gum in. I always thought that was weird, but I now do it too.

Hmm.

Explosive 08-02-2003 08:26 PM

I always used to keep my toliet seat up, but I went over to my friends house and he always kept his down. Ever since I've placed it down after taking a pee/poop.

Halx 08-02-2003 08:47 PM

An old girlfriend of mine told me she slept naked.. so I decided to try it out once, been snoozin' in the skinny ever since. 5 years now.
flanel sheets are the devil

pangavan 08-02-2003 09:12 PM

I always called soft drinks "pop" or "coke" but a roomate used to say "soda" now I do to

Stiltzkin 08-02-2003 09:19 PM

Soda seems like a more appropriate term for soda anyways ;) I have an aunt from Washington (the state) who says pop.

Habits picked up from friends? Not really weird things, just certain things they do. I have a friend who has very proper, erect posture. I used to slouch, but he kind if got me into walking up-right.

Phaenx 08-02-2003 09:39 PM

Cheese around the bannana. My brother used to always eat his bannanas with cheese wrapped around them, I thought he was weird until I tried it.

Go on, get to your kitchen before someone beats you to the last bannana.

Speed_Gibson 08-02-2003 09:49 PM

using hot sauce on popcorn - common enough practice apparently, but never did that at all before my stretch in the military. Always use it now if possible.

BlueBongo 08-02-2003 10:24 PM

An ex-coworker got me hooked on sweet pickle and peanut butter sandwiches... actually isn't too bad at all.

gremlinx8 08-02-2003 10:38 PM

My boyfriend only opens cans of pop (note: pop NOT soda) half way. After spending a couple of months with him, I found myself doing the exact same thing.

maxero 08-03-2003 01:02 AM

one of my friends got me snapping my fingers whenever i say hi to people, not really weird so much as irritating :D

Ralvek 08-03-2003 07:26 AM

I brush my teeth in the shower too! I started doing it when I was in college in the dorms b/c it saved time in the morning, but boy do your teef feel fresh and clean!

rogue49 08-03-2003 12:14 PM

My ex-brother-in-law...
One hard snap of the fingers on one hand raised in the air,

*SNAP!*
Damn straight.;)

jackassidy 08-03-2003 01:16 PM

When we have corn on the cob I always slice off the corn with a knife and eat it with a fork. Everyone around tells me how weird I am with thier mouths , faces , hands and teeth covered in corn.

HamiC 08-03-2003 04:51 PM

Still drawing a blank on habits I have picked up.....although there must be tons.

However, this thread is reminding me of one my wife has picked up from me. Now, even when I am not there, she can't take the item at the front of the shelf at the grocery store. She/I have to grab one from the back.

I suspect I picked it up from someone else.....just can't remember who.

mortius 08-03-2003 08:57 PM

I tend to smoke a smoke in about 1 1/2 mins. Nasty habit I have stop.

winsecure 08-03-2003 09:54 PM

When I was in college there was a pizza joint that served honey with the pizza. Always thought it was freakish... Then I tried... actually pretty good... Now I make a point of getting some honey for my pizza about 50% of the time

TIO 08-03-2003 10:15 PM

One of my South African friends has me calling the remote control the 'bopper'

I was staying at a mate's place and saw his razor in the shower. Ever since, I've shaved in the shower

And then there's vegemite and honey sandwiches...

God of Thunder 08-04-2003 08:30 AM

Had a boss once who ate M&M's one color at a time, now I find myself doing it. I do it with Skittles as well.

nulltype 08-04-2003 08:52 AM

Plastic bag? That's a good idea.

Pop = lame

Just for the record.

Soda, Soft Drink, Coke, I don't really care as long as it's not "Pop".

I do that as well (bass pics actually. Much thicker than git pics) but because it adds texture and prevents the pic from slipping while in use.

Magpie0001 08-04-2003 12:28 PM

This thread is fucking brilliant.

I sleep nudie, brush in the shower too sometimes.

raeanna74 08-04-2003 03:56 PM

First Boyfriend use to pop his neck not just his knuckles. Now I do to - wish I could stop because it just seemed to make things stiffer when I started.

Sleep in the nude - didn't before I got married but hubby did and so I started. I'll have to stop that soon because our daughter is getting too old.

My best friend in college had a taste for fresh cucumber slices with tuna and mayo on top. I started eating that when I was pregnant and have always enjoyed that treat. Hubby hates tuna and fresh vegetables so he runs to hide when I fix those. lol

niobius2 08-04-2003 04:09 PM

Someone told me they jizz into a tube sock

DEI37 08-04-2003 04:19 PM

You know, I've heard of that, and years ago, decided to try it to see if it worked...it doesn't. Hands get all sticky, and if you cum a lot (like I do), it'll drip through the sock and on the floor anyways.

Moral, just find a pussy to cum in!!!

ubertuber 08-04-2003 04:23 PM

Dipping oreo cookies in diet coke before eating them. However, I started this one and got some of my friends to do it too. No on that has tried has disliked it yet!

Zargix 08-04-2003 09:08 PM

i have a bunch



Eating bananas WHOLE (without peeling them)
eating oranges whole
drinking rootbeer w/ milk
sleeping naked
wearing as little clothing as possible as much as possible

tj2001cobra 08-04-2003 09:13 PM

My fiance has made me a lot more relaxed (and sloppy). I am not sure if this is a good thing or not. My house used to be immaculate and clean all of the time but now it stays kind of messy. She claims that is part of her charm :hmm:

You don't do three in a circle, do you? :D

Psivage 08-05-2003 11:52 AM

When going out to eat my friend always put the half and half creamer in ice water for a few minutes than drink, I aways thought that was sick until he convince me to try it. Now I do the same thing.

tfp420 08-05-2003 12:44 PM

I dont know but I wish someone would try crumbling up a bit of chocolate chip cookie into a burrito. Man its good. I used do it in bean and cheese burritos. mmm. I have a coworker who eat banana and mayo sandwiches. I refuse to try it.

ARTelevision 08-05-2003 05:12 PM

I just bought a pair of wingtips.

gnort 08-05-2003 08:12 PM

French Fries and Maple syrup....not sure who i picked it up from...but damn is it good.

micah67 08-05-2003 08:15 PM

My ex-gf would open her coke can and then rotate the tab 90 degrees counter-clockwise. It was easier to find YOUR can when there were other around (like at a party). I started doing the same but clockwise. Now I can't drink from a can without turning the tab; it doesn't feel right on my lips.

Nizzle 08-05-2003 08:29 PM

I dip french fries in Vannilla frostie icecream cones. Can't help it.

Katyblu 08-06-2003 07:42 AM

French fries dipped in Wedny's Frosties.... picked it up from friends in high school.

Tirian 08-06-2003 07:44 AM

Mostly I've noticed myself and folks I hang around with picking up phrases from each other.

This can be an amusing game of "new phrase of the week" at the office.

examples...

"that's not too pretty good" coined to indicate a fairly bad situation.

"technian" coined by a typo and used to address hardware technicians.

Also I am Canadian, so "pop" was always my word, but since my sister has been living in the states for a few years, I've picked up the word "soda" from her, and use it about 50% of the time now.

My son always wants to go through checkout line #7 at the grocery for good luck. Maybe someone will start doing that now.

collide 08-14-2003 10:43 PM

These were already mentioned, but I also sometimes brush in the shower and eat french fries dipped in ice cream. I also use to squeeze out condiments from the packets onto a napkin and dip my fries into it, but now I make a tear in the corner packet and squeeze out the ketcup onto the individual fry like toothpaste instead. It's less messy that way too.

ReggErving 08-14-2003 10:51 PM

A friend has OCD and never liked the television volume on an odd number, so know I always find myself putting it on even numbers.

Clewd 08-15-2003 01:45 AM

Using dvorak - comp sci roomate started using it to be l337er but it does feel more natural and I am typing faster

Eating french fries with honey mustard sauce - didn't pick it up from anyone, the guy who took my order simply messed it up but nowadays I regard ketchup as the work of the devil meant to deprive people of discovering the true bliss that is honey mustard

Peeling bananas from the bottom end (which is the end its supposed to be peeled from) - math prof showed us

Going shirtless whenever I use my computer - My other roomate did it because he said it was 80'- and he was enamored with the 80's

Putting up communist propaganda posters in my room - also inspired by my 80's roomate

Jonsgirl 08-15-2003 01:45 AM

My husband got me to start putting the volume of our electronics on a mutiple of 3. He also got me to pepper my ketchup.
I brushed in the shower till I got an electric toothbrush.
and I still sleep nekked.

The_wall 08-15-2003 11:22 AM

when I'm bored or something I rotate my head to get somewhat dizzy:crazy:

Tex 08-15-2003 11:38 AM

The Internet. :D

Vyk 08-15-2003 12:14 PM

My mother introduced me to the snack of peanut butter and maple syrup mixed in a bowl. yum.

I also ended up going from sleeping in shorts to sleeping naked after having my ex-fiance live with me for awhile and picking it up from her (wasn't an ex then).

I've heard that's the way monkeys eat bananas as well; might as well follow the experts!

I now drink canned soda from the side of my mouth; this way, your nose doesn't get in the way, and you don't have to tilt your head back so far.

Fifteen Short 08-15-2003 12:17 PM

Most of my habits are made by me. I say godspeed, I got that from The Rock, I always liked how it sounded, so I say that instead of bye now. Kind of like that, "Dont say bye, say see you later" idealism.

When I drink a can of soda (rarely) I pop the tab, then I turn it around and pull it off. Then I slip it into the soda. I cant say why I do this, seeing as how most of the time it will float at the top (pepsi is what Ive noticed). But hey, its habit now.

My uncle and my aunt do that. They are brother and sister. I always find it funny. I pull mine off for identification, and its habit, see the post above.

EDIT: I also wear my socks inside out.

A bar I used to go to always had baskets of popcorn out for customers, with a shaker of Worcestershire sauce. Now it's my favorite way to eat popcorn (no need to add salt).

Also, I used to have a friend (male) who was so lazy, he peed sitting down. Many years and one bad back later, I sometimes find myself doing it first thing in the morning, before I've had time to stretch my back.

In my younger days - we <i>all</i> used to drink like that. Of course, back then, they were even <i>called</i> pull-tabs. whenever we'd finish a beer, we'd shake the can to hear that sound of a pull-tab rattling around on the bottom (just to ensure it was really empty). Of course, having them in the can made us less likely to slice our fingers open playing with them.

JStrider 08-15-2003 01:17 PM

when you pour some soda and it fizzes up a lot too make it go down faster stick your finger in your ear so ya have a lil earwax residue and then touch it to the fizz and it will make it go down faster then just touching it without the wax!

Plan9Senior 08-15-2003 02:39 PM

My friend used to always put french fries in his hamburger before he ate it. I thought it was odd, but now I do the same :(
