Three curious quirks!

White_Dragon

In the spirit of the three good things post which I love, I thought I would start a new post about three curious quirks. Looking at the forum history there does seem to be a couple of posts around quirks but thought it might be easier to create a new one, especially since its springtime now...

Here goes three of mind to get things started...

1. When it comes to gloves, socks shoes, anything that comes as a pair I must sort out the right before the left...

2. When I get excited or nervous my nose for whatever reason becomes really itchy and I rub it like some kind of rodent with both hands...I've always done this since a child

3. I have a tendency to make up a lot of my own words and names for people/things etc, some examples...I call Bedlington terrier dogs, Lamerriers as to me they look like a cross between a lamb and a terrier, a large group of people I would describe as a flockamock, etc Its interesting to see how others pick up on these words and start to use them. They then can get strange looks from others who don't really understand the strange language Slight smile

Would be interested to hear/read about your three curious quirks...

  • 1. I used to be able to suck air into my mouth through a tiny hole in my bony palate, it made a whistling noise, it presumably connected to my nasal cavity. I stopped being able to do it about 15 years ago.

    2. I sing songs, but replace the words with nonsense words of my own, but keep the rhymes. An example, to the tune of 'Dirty Old Town', "I flinged my snerge by quiggly hrall" etc.

    3. I always have to flick the kettle off after it starts to boil, but before it automatically clicks off.
