Everyone has habits, it’s simply in our nature as human beings to repeat some actions over and over. However, some people have more bizarre habits than others. Say, smelling every drink they’re given or touching every single lamp post they see.
Reddit recently asked its community about their strangest habits and the responses will honestly make you feel a lot better about yourself.
1. The Gambler.
I used to make bets with God/Satan, little things mostly. Bet my soul I can make it to that door before it closes. Bet my soul I can make it to the crosswalk before the light turns yellow. Bet my soul I can make this basket. Pretty sure I won more than I lost.
Guess I’ll find out when I’m dead.
2. The Hoarder.
I hoard durable boxes. Small ones like jewelry boxes or chocolate boxes etc. I don’t really know why I just can’t seem to have the heart to throw them out.
3. The Sniffer.
I automatically sniff a drink before consuming it. I’ve always done it and it’s subtle enough that people don’t notice unless they are observant.
4. The Snoozer.
Wake up few minutes before my 1st alarm rings, disable all alarms, wake up late and be late for everything.
5. The Biter.
Terrible habit of biting the inside of my cheeks.
6. The Dieter.
I go 4-6 months gaining 20 pounds and then the next 4-6 months trying to lose those same 20 pounds. Vicious cycle.
7. The Triple Checker.
Must triple-check that I set the alarm clock correctly before bed.
Must triple-check that I locked the front door.
Must hit the bloop-bloop on the key fob three times after parking the car.
8. “Layers,” Jerry.
I eat my candy bars in layers… especially snickers.
Chocolate, nougat, caramel… its disgusting but delicious.
9. Captain Tent.
I pull the covers over my head and lift my knees up and make a “tent” when I’m in bed.
10. The Starer.
I have a bad habit of observing. But on the outside, it seems like I’m staring. I’ve been called out by friends and family a few times. The worst is when I accidentally do it to strangers…
11. The Knee Slapper
When excited I just have to whack something around me. Usually its me slapping my legs or hitting my table next to me and then clapping like a seal. Ends up hurting the hands LOL
12. The Ghost.
After I walk away from a conversation, I repeat the idiotic thing that I said in the conversation to my self. Over and over again, finding my self more stupid with every thought cycle.
13. The Dick.
I make mean faces at babies when I think their parents aren’t looking- gotta give those young brains some variety.
