Hey Pandas, What Is A Unique Habit You Have? (Closed)

What is something you do (regularly or not) that you think nobody else does? It could be the way you open a drawer, the way you wake, or even the way you go to the toilet. Is there something special about your routine? Why do you do it this way?

I can twist things to make them less negative. My husband once said: "if the cat's sick on the carpet Caro will say "Oh good, no splatter" and if the cat is sick on the parquet Caro will say "Great, at least it's not on the carpet". And it's true, I can turn negativity away from me. I just think it's a survival thing or I might be nuts, .... or possibly both ;).

I have quite a few little habits, but after a while of wracking my brains I can't think of any of them that would likely be unique. After all, this is the internet... even if I posted some weird s**t like that every morning I woke up at 05:43Hrs, juggled 3 small kittens for 8 minutes whilst the kettle was boiling and then settled down to a nice cup of mud tea you can bet your a**e that half an hour later at least three people would have replied with 'oh, I do that too' and before you know it you're starting an early morning kitten juggling group cause it's a lot more common than you think. xd

I call myself an emotional thermostat. I can change the mood of a person or persons very easily. In my younger years, I used this ability to manipulate people, especially my boyfriends.
(*cringes* I have deep regrets behind my past behaviours)
as a grown adult I use this ability in my life for good. I work in the ICU/critical care. I am known for my ability to cheer up, put people at ease, reduce anxiety, and reduce fear.
I am also very good at being able to pick up nonverbal cues from my sick patients (or anyone really, including animals) I consider these things to be my super powers/gifts.

My apparently "unique" habit is actually stopping at "STOP" signs. I say it's unique because I seldom see ANYBODY, including most Police cars, stop at "STOP" signs. Everybody seems to roll on through at speeds varying from "slow walk" to "hell, nobody's coming so I'm BLASTIING through"! So stopping at these signs is a unique characteristic to me and, judging by the two times I was actually "bumped" from behind, a startling discovery for many of those with whom I, shudder, "share the road".

I am not a superstitious person at all, but when boarding a plane I have to touch the outside of the plane, just to the right of the open door. I prefer to hold my hand there for a few seconds, but if necessary just a touch will do. I have been in situations where I didn't get to do that, and I didn't like it one bit. I know it is just a thing, so I don't freak out about not doing it, but I think about it and plan on doing it all the way down the jetway.

This is another habit I've been trying to get out of recently, but as I'm literally trying to sleep, the last song I was listening to, and it's usually just that one annoying section in the middle, will replay over and over and over again. My mind will do other annoying "replay" moments as well. I once went to bed replaying that one annoying part on a Beatsaber song. More commonly, I will envision a giant keyboard in front of me and literally type out all of my thoughts while verbally spelling them out, as well. I just can't stand it.

I'm not sure if it's unique or just annoying, but if anybody, and I mean anybody, makes a grammatically incorrect statement (whether through text or verbal) I will stop myself and correct them, even if it's just in my head.

Not too unique, but I try to remember everyone’s birthdays. I’d like to say I have a pretty good memory and I like to put it to use. I always like getting a “happy birthday” from someone I didn’t expect to hear from, so I just like returning the favor. I like to keep track and plan when to wish people happy birthdays, even if it’s a little excessive. So, yesterday was my grandma’s birthday, April 1st is my classmates birthday, April 4th is my friends birthday, April 2nd is her little sisters birthday, April 11th is another friend’s birthday, and so on. The more birthdays I know the more fun it gets!

not sure if this is unique or considered a habit but i don't wash my dogs in a tub; i do it in the shower stall. they are all big dogs and i found it was not only such a mess using the tub but i was always concerned that i didn't get all the soap off them, especially their lady bits. i have a hand held shower and so i am able to avoid getting too much water and/or soap in their eyes as well as being able to rinse their 'under carriage' well. also, very good at rinsing between their toes as well. before i started doing this they would line up outside the shower and press their faces to watch me. now that they know what is going on in their they more or less willingly walk in and let me wash them well. the only issue they have is that i have to start the washing procedure starting with the oldest dog first and work my way to the youngest. if i don't do this the oldest gets snarky with the others either when they come out of the shower or while they are waiting to go in. go figure! i do know that the vet confirmed that she has some brain damage so maybe it is her perception of the whole process that makes her feel slighted.

the only negative thing that has happened with this practice is that i have had guests stay who prefer to shower. i keep their shampoos and conditioners in the shower for convenience. a couple of times i have had them come out to compliment me on what good smelling coconut conditioner i have or that their skin feels exceptionally moisturized....one of them uses a special shampoo for dry skin. now, i warn people to check the bottles.

I sing in my head to go to sleep.
I am always able to put myself in other people's place and see things from their point of view, sometimes to my own detriment.

But the best thing is finding a silver lining in ANY situation. Ex: I had cancer and was going through chemo. Losing my hair was hard for me (is for most people). But the silver lining is I didn't have to shave, which I hate doing. Even now I only need to every few months.
Hubby refused (and still refuses) to discuss my cancer. We lost my BFF in Oct and his mom in November. Again, won't talk about it. Last month his brother was diagnosed with lung cancer. Silver lining? He has been forced to finally deal with everything so that he can be there for him. He is finally talking to me about my cancer so that we can help his brother.

It doesn’t matter that I can see the thing or know it’s happening I still get scared and my brain goes into full on flight or fight. I also walk around with my hand up like just barely above waist high. I do it because I have three flights of stairs in my house and I run down with my hand out so that if I fall I can grab the banister before I’ve fell properly. Also when someone goes to hug me I jump or flinch… i think somethings wrong with me now that I look at this lol

I don’t just talk with myself; I make up and vocalize songs and raps to work out the problematic situations I’m grappling with.

See, I’m an extrovert living within a family of introverts. I know! My preference is to address issues that arise directly and cooperatively, to get it out there and over with. But my beloved lifemates tend to avoid such interactions, sometimes to the point where the unresolved issue becomes a major irritant to all. Rather than living in a constant state of frustration or annoyance, I use my bottled up energy to sing. I love music and language and humor, and I find that making up melodic rhymes about situations that I need more clarity on is both therapeutic and a source of fun and creative output for me. Sometimes my kids or hubby hear me, sometimes they don’t, but I’m not performing for their benefit. I’m doing it to preserve my sanity and my relationships, and to maintain my strong need for self expression (that might otherwise be suppressed. I make up dance moves too, if the mood strikes. Whatever it takes, because I really prefer to feel happy and at peace in my home.

My weird songs work! I come up with all sorts of solutions using this free-form type of problem solving. And I always find myself smiling by the end of one of my “sessions,” which benefits ALL who dwell within our quiet home. The neighbors may disagree however!

Twisting peoples words so pedanticly that I find the opposite meaning in what they say by finding an arcaich meaning in a single word that completly undermines what they were trying to say.

I do a lot of cross stitch and although I am right-handed, I thread a needle with my left hand. (I dunno, maybe that's not weird. Do other people do this?)

I just love rearranging my room and buying like these little things that make my home feel so cozy! If I had the time, I'd probably rearrange it about three times a day. In the morning my desk is next to a wall, by the next day it's next to a window.

My default setting for my brain is “daydream” so I have little habits to keep myself out of my head. Pinching my arms gently, fidgeting with EVERYTHING, etc.

Anytime I use the bathroom at someone else's place, I have to look in their medicine cabinet or vanity to see what kind of bandaids they have. Sometimes I'll take a couple if they're some that I don't have, or think they're unique. Started this trend since I was about 5 years old, for some reason.

I don't know why i do this but...
I don't look at my fridge when its closing. I physically turn away from it, and just in case i also close my eyes. I've done this my whole life. I'm fine with my friend's fridges but if its my own I don't like watching it close.

I am terrified of toilets.
Even as an adult in my thirties I have nightmares about them so I carry post-it notes in airports for the infrared sensors on automatic ones. I loudly offer them to everyone in line, especially people with young children.
(If the sensor can't "see" your body heat it doesn't react to its sudden absence. You suddenly have control over when the toilet flushes again!) This knowledge and practice has legitimately changed my life for the better.

I can wake up from a dream either naturally or from an alarm or person etc. and go back to sleep and continue on in the same dream again. This can happen multiple times with the same dream, for example when I press the snooze button a few times. It's as if I can press pause and play in the dream world. I end up pressing the snooze button much too often because of this though. It's way too much fun and interesting to get back to a dream you've just become conscious of : )

I swear I'm not superstitious, but when I go in a door my right foot goes first. Also when I get on planes I breathe 8 times on the steps. ALSO when my twin goes skiing she taps the lift before her, quite a weird habit but she does it subconsciously. I try to step on cracks evenly, but that's less important

1) I balance sandwiches and toast on the fingers of my left hand then pick a spot and start eating crust first, ask the way around until all nasty crust is gone, then start in the past with the least amount of pb/j/butter/whatever.
I hate crust and my grandfather once told me if you eat the crust, you can whistle. Well, I'm 48 and still eating crust and still can't whistle.
2) pizza is consumed crust first. I'm the only idiot you will see eating pizza backward.
3) I eat everything in my plate, starting with my last favorite item
4) I always sleep with my socks on. I've been called a heathen for it.
5) I sleep with a stuffed animal every night. For the past 48 years. I have no plans on stopping.

I just consider these things "little quirks" my kids will miss when I'm gone.

I can make someone either happy or sad if I were to do something stupid. I call acting like an idiot or making a dumb joke.
