Ask Lemmy

I eat kiwis with the peel

Australians are next

I open bananas by pinching the bottom instead of ripping at the top (because it works better) and people act like I’m insane.

I set my clocks on 24 hour time. Usually gets a comment when they see it.

waiting in line when there are self checkouts available. I just dont like doing it.

When eating pizza at a restaurant with a fork and a knife I start cutting bite size triangles from the center of the pizza, it's pure chaos and people lose their mind when they see me haha

I sigh loudly. Not vocally, but I take in a deep breath and then release it quickly. It's a tension release to me kinda like yawning but everyone around me seems to think I'm upset or frustrated when I do it.

I "fold" my socks by putting one sock fully into the other sock (picture wearing 2 socks on 1 foot). This way they are together and they don't get stretched out.

I don't listen to anything while driving

Not checking in with someone if we made plans. My wife will ask if I texted my family to see if we're still doing the thing we planned. If I make plans with someone, then I'm going unless they tell me is cancelled. My family could make plans for 12 years from now and we'd all be there a little earlier than the time we said we would be there.

Sock shoe sock shoe.

I have to test if the pants/sock/shoe combo works before committing to the whole process a second time.

I've had several people comment on the way I tie my shoelaces. I can't even remember how to do it the "normal" way, but I use that knot that takes about half a second where you make both loops at once and pull them through each other.

Brits seem to really love when I heavily salt tea and heat it in the microwave. I top it off by saying "Cheerio! Pip pip!" in my best southern drawl.

Don't know why...

I skip the fourth step from the bottom on every staircase. It started because multiple staircases I regularly traversed coincidentally all had spiders make their homes on the fourth step, so I'd step over them. And then I just never shook the habit.

"Mine is that I pour the milk before the cereal. people are always extremely confused by that."

You're a psychopath. lol

Give more exact timing than nearest 5 minutes. Eg "I'll be down in 4 minutes" because I have an idea how long things actually take.

I too eat kiwis with skin, but apparently stranger is that I eat the whole apple, starting from the bottom working up, core and all.

ya know how you can like look at a light, like the sun or a light bulb, and as you move your eyes around you an kinda make shapes like whirling your eyeball around to make a circle with the light ?

well I do that but instead of just with lights, I do it with normal objects in my field of vision, and I do it really fast.

to the observer my eyes balls look freakishly fast moving, but to me I am making your head into a big star shape over and over again.

I use my indicators when reversing out of a parking spot. It’s the way I was taught, and it makes sense to me, but apparently it’s weird.

I write the number 5 from the bottom up.

I put my arms in my coat in front of me then flip it over my head

I like eating lemons, I've had a few today

I use flatware when eating everything, including finger food. My friends only made fun of me when I ate crisps with a fork.

I will remove the top bun from hamburgers and use a knife & fork to cut little wedges out of them. Fewer carbs & no sloppiness!

I eat the entire apple, starting at the top and going in circles to the bottom.

People act like I'm a monster for eating kiwis in their entirety. Not just the skin, but even the ... Stump? Whatever the hard end but is called that presumably attaches it to the tree. It's just extra fiber!

I prefer eating only with the spoon. I'd even cut meat with it if it's soft enough

I eat cereal with a fork. No I will not explain further
