People Are Revealing The Quirky Habits That Everyone Does But That Nobody Discusses

There are things we all do that, if you stop and think about them, are kinda weird but, at the same time, are also perfectly normal. For example, all of us [or at least the majority of us] will sometimes talk to ourselves out loud when we're alone.

Recently, Redditor broken__defraculator wanted to talk about those quirky habits we all do when they asked: "What’s a weird little thing that we all do or experience, but no one talks about?"

The thread got over 2K responses. Below are the top, best, and most-often repeated comments:

1."When we accidentally spit on someone when talking and all act like nothing happened."

2."When a random embarrassing/cringe memory floods the mind, and the best you can do is try to blurt out some incoherent words, sounds, and melody to distract yourself."

3."Witnessing some (random) person doing something really embarrassing to themself and actively choosing/doing our best to ignore it and move on. This is empathy."

4."One weird little thing we all do but rarely talk about is replaying imaginary arguments or conversations in our heads, often coming up with the perfect comeback we wish we'd said at the time."

5."That weird smell you get from your childhood but can never find or replicate if you wanted to. Mine reminds me of white school floors with little black dots all over."

6."The secret thrill of being the first person to use a new jar of peanut butter and sliding in the butter knife with grace and care to carve out a perfectly-formed morsel of legumes joy."

7."Looking at other people's food as waiters bring it to their table at a restaurant."

8."Looking at what people have in their cart at the grocery store."

9."The little shake we do when we get under a cold, cozy blanket. Such a privilege."

10."When hot in bed, we don’t just throw the covers off. We stick out a single leg….except we don’t just 'dangle' it outside the covers; we wrap it around the duvet and kind of clamp it back down. No one has ever shown us how to do this, taught us to do this, or discussed this. We just all do it."

11."Picking our underwear out of our ass crack."

12."Pretending not to see someone you know in public to avoid that awkward 'hi' moment. We all do it, don’t lie."

13."The sheer joy of talking off a pair of jeans when getting home. (I guess it doesn’t apply to people who enjoy wearing jeans inside, though.)"

14."Well, I think it's so weird if you just say goodbye and then walk in the same direction."

15."Stopping the microwave at 1-second."

16."Minding your business one minute, then giggling the next, which eventually turns into full-blown laughter the next minute."

17."Disgustingly brutal intrusive thoughts. The ones that would shatter your world if it happened."

18."When you are making out with a person, and your teeth bang together."

19."Waving at someone who was waving at the person behind you."

20.And lastly, "How we wipe either sitting down or standing up."
