Do You Or Anybody You Know Have Strange Habits Or Rituals?

My daughter's friend's boyfriend cannot go out unless he has four rolled balls of silver paper in his pockets (two in each pocket) He said he would go mad if he left home without them!
I have also heard of people tucking themselves tightly under the covers so things can't get them!

Do you have any strange habits or rituals? Or do you know anyone who does?

I go to bed with two soft toys, a cuddly dog & a dragon.

Re: Do You Or Anybody You Know Have Strange Habits Or Rituals?

I have several but one that I do a lot amuses people, because I sometimes say it out loud; I say Tap Off!

I can't hear water running, even standing there looking at it and several times in the past I've left taps running at home with the usual consequences so now I say Tap Off every time I turn off the tap.

If I walk away and don't remember if I said Tap Off then I go back and do it.

At work I've been told I'm doing it now, much to the amusement of the residents in the home where I work but to worried looks from carers!

The residents are all my friends so that's fine.

The carers just don't understand and don't bother to ask me why.

I'd happily explain if they'd only ask.........stevmk2

Interesting, why and how did it start, it's so random, I have to ask, lol ...

Re: Do You Or Anybody You Know Have Strange Habits Or Rituals?

Nothing too serious but I do have to make sure I have turned a light switch off properly. Sometimes I go back a couple of times to make sure. I think once in my past, a switch got stuck half way and sparked.

Silbee, The girl has only been on one date with him and he said he wanted to be upfront about this ritual with the four balls of silver paper. I think he may be slightly OCD and it's a way of controlling his condition?

Re: Do You Or Anybody You Know Have Strange Habits Or Rituals?

When I eat, I don't eat a little of everything as most do. I eat all of the same thing until it is gone then start on the rest i.e. I will eat potatoes, then cabbage, then the nut roast or whatever. I also like to do things in a specific order.

There is a reason for this. I have Asperger's Syndrome.
