Your Strangest "Compulsion" (1 Viewer)

[KarmaPolice]

I begin to count the number of "like"s that people say when they are talking to me - to the point where I am no longer really listening to what they are saying.

I chose to like that.

But did you like click on the button and like choose to like it?

I can't use urinals.

I have a horrible habit of not only chewing my fingernails, but eating them afterwards.

There's a guy in my office that does that and it is the source of discussion amongst my colleagues. Is it because you don't want to talk to another person (stage fright) or is it because you don't want others to look at you?

Always been curious.

If they want to look at my impressive junk, that is on them.

For one I have always found urinals dirty, so part of it is just not wanting to touch them with my arms, clothes, etc. Somebody else brought up urinal cake backsplash, and when you have a powerful flow that can be an issue to. Mostly it is just not wanting to piss next to another human. Never understood why we let ourselves be lined up elbow to elbow to relieve ourselves.

Every once in awhile this does become an issue. I will use it if I have absolutely have to, but mostly that is at a sporting event or concert situation where a little booze is involved and there is one or two stalls. If it is a choice between wetting myself and using a urinal I will play the game, but 99% of the time I am going stall.

When I was a kid, I'd pretend the specks of dirt / dead flies on the windshield of my parents' car was an airplane and I'd move around flying the dirt specks over and around buildings. My parents must have thought I was nuts moving around like that and I never told them that's what I was doing.

How ####ed up is it that I know EXACTLY what youre talking about?

I think I still do it

I would pretend it was a gun site, like on a tank, and I was blowing stuff up.

The awkward conversation and splash back from the urinal cake. I'm a toilet only guy too. Glad I work at a former girls-only college.

Reminds me of the advice of where to find the cleanest men's rooms, women's clothing stores as I recall.

flushless urinals are awesome.

 

[Guest]

Aim for the back of the urinal not the urinal cake. Most of the newer ones should be curved to help minimize backsplash. One company even printed a fly on the back for optimal targeting.

 

[Zow]

I do this weird thing when I'm moving (walking, running, or driving) where I draw these imaginary lines at 45 degree angles off inanimate objects (corner of a wall, telephone post, etc.) and use those lines to create geometrically formed areas. I think imagine there is a ball traveling on those lines and I imagine contacting it somehow.

Been doing this since I can remember and pretty much never realize that I'm doing it.

I have some asinine compulsion to follow and post inane stupidity on the FFA internets forum.

I have an awful compulsion of counting letters in words on my fingers.

I = 1

h = 2

a = 3

v = 4

e =5

a = 6

n = 7

...

I have always done this as well, just with syllables.

 

[pyite76]

I add up license plate numbers incessantly.

example:

B657-413

I'll take the smaller of the 2 numbers, (413) and figure out how much I'd need to add to it to make the bigger number (657) so for this example it'd be 244.

 

[Gawain]

Whenever I have to walk blocks and avenues in the city, I count my steps. Then I figure what the diagonal would have been to determine my wasted steps.

[The Big Guy]

When I am on a highway drive I tend to look at the mile markers and figure out exactly how much more time it will take me at current speed to reach my exit. I think I started to do this is when I would drive exhausted and the mental math would help keep me awake.

 

[Ted Mullins]

I remember as a kid I used to tighten my left or right ### muscle everytime we drove past a lamp post.

Yes, meaning sometimes hundreds of times.

No idea why I did it, but probably why I have such a nice dumper in my 30s

When I was a kid on long trips I would bounce (in my mind) from left to right between either telephone poles or other vehicles on the road.

When I was a kid, I'd pretend the specks of dirt / dead flies on the windshield of my parents' car was an airplane and I'd move around flying the dirt specks over and around buildings. My parents must have thought I was nuts moving around like that and I never told them that's what I was doing.

I did this too. Parents always told me to stop.

 

[Vike Me]

Another even numbered volume guy.

I also touch ceiling of car when going under yellow lights.

 

[dickey moe]

Upon selecting a volume level from 10 to 20, I never select 11, 13, 14, 16, 18, or 19.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

When I was a teenager I would drive on the highway at high speeds and close my eyes...I would count in my head to see how far I could get before opening them again. My current record was around the number 30.

Hahahahaha! This is hilarious.

Confession: I tried this a few times and never got passed 5 or 6 seconds.

I also "flick"/shake my comforter before I go to bed, to make sure there are no millipedes hiding in there.

Lots of millipedes in Canada?

I know exactly what you're talking about. If I'm not driving, to this day, I find myself blinking as we pass street lights or road signs on the highway.

I also do that dirt/dust speck thing mentioned. Less so now, but sometimes I realize what I'm doing.

[Spike]

Odd numbered volume. I start every set of steps on my left foot and count as I go up or down.

I do something strange like this. I make it so the last step (either up or down) is with my right foot.

Hold over from the military days?

Another weird thing - but I don't think it's terribly uncommon - is that I'm a step counter when I'm on stairs.

[Gottabesweet]

I write on post it stickies everything I need to do or planning on doing on certain days, sometimes in order like grocery shop, shower, laundry, bar.

Sometimes I feel like I'm out of the movie memento

Bunch of Weirdo's.........I almost crashed my car because a wild arm hair caught my attention and I couldn't stop looking at it. Soon as I got home that ridiculous unsightly hair had to go..... I ask again....why do we have arm hair...f**king ridiculous.

I cut the calluses off my feet with a knife and then I eat them.

Body hair still serves s purpose as an extension ofthe nervous system allowing you to feel subtlr differences Iin the environment around you so youdont get surprised by a predator.

I like my volume to be in multiples of 5. In high school I told my friends my car stereo wouldn't work on any other numbers.

Good to know.....Might have to grow it back so the next time a lion gets loose in my office building I will get an early warning.

the time period after winter and before summer, they're out in force (people call it spring, but we dont really really have spring)

dont see them much any other time of year

I can't ascend a flight of stairs without counting every step (in my head). I also like to rearrange the letters of random words I hear throughout the day into alphabetical order.

 

[Sweet J]

A couple of years ago I was formally diagnosed with Turrette Syndrome. I've had ticks and related issues since about 6th grade, and they've gotten progressively worse as I've gotten older (which is somewhat abnormal for TS). No shtick, but I think my ticks took a huge jump after I got married and had kids. Anyway. . . there's that.

I do this so much that I annoy myself.

Glad I'm not the only one who does this. I also make up arbitrary times and figure out exactly how fast I'd need to travel in order to make it by that time. "If I wanted to be there in 47 minutes I'd need to be going 73 mph from this point on out". But then I can't seem to stop and end up doing these stupid equations for the entire trip. It works well when not wanting to have a conversation though. Wife - "blah blah blah, are you even listening? You're doing that stupid mile thing arn't you, this is like having a conversations with myself blah blah blah"

If I look at a digital clock I try to figure out what mathematical symbols I'd need to make the equation work. 10:52 = 10 / 5 = 2. Every time, I can't stop myself.

I squeegee the water off my head/body after taking a shower before drying off with a towel.

 

[Godsbrother]

When I drive on a long trip I always calculate how much of a percentage of the trip I have traveled so far.
