We all have weird quirks that are fairly uncommon, to say the least. For the fear of being judged, we keep these weird things to ourselves; however, that doesn't stop us from being curious about what others have to hide.

So, to indulge in this secret knowledge, X (formerly Twitter) user @drakesbrother started a thread asking people to share their bad habits, weird confessions, and interesting things they do. The thread was quickly flooded with the strangest habits. 

Turns out, lots of us have funny habits that make perfect sense to us but might seem odd to others. Something like when someone has to read the last page of a book before they can start it from the beginning. One thing’s clear: what seems like quirky habits to some of us is just another day in the office for others.

Some confessed to measuring how long something will take in songs, others said that each time they get in their car, they make sure no one is sitting in the back seat. While some of these weird things to do sound a little bit odd, let’s not pretend you don't relate. 

Scroll below for the list of confessions from regularly weird people, and don't forget to share your own strange habits in the comments.

This is incredibly common. Everyone does this, actually. Intrusive thoughts. I tend to think “how much can I key this car”.

My girlfriend does this a lot. I end up answering her and she just replies "nobody is talking to you, talking to myself. mind your own business." LOL

Cupboard doors need to be closed when not in use. It's not that I won't necessarily be able to sleep, it's just why would they be open?

this is like driving with loud music, but then turning the volume down to look for parking or for an address.

When I was 4 in Florida we had no A/C in our house. I had 6 spots on my pillow that I could move my head around on until I had to flip it & have 6 more.

My sisters and I used to try holding our breath over bridges when were little. I think we thought it'd make us float if we fell in the water

Both my kids do this, they go through fazes where every so often they will sleep a couple of weeks on the floor.

I remember when I was really young I was in our backyard and decided if I don't make it onto the back porch in 10 seconds I was going to die. I didn't make it in time so I collapsed and started crying in the grass. My poor parents were so confused when I tried to explain why I was so distraught.

And then when it doesn't go in you allow yourself another try. This is an every day thing for me, I suffer from anxiety and often wonder is due to this.

I do this with almost everything, sometimes I don't even want to do it. It's kind of annoying. :/

I give myself bad targets, like if you don't get this in you have to give the next person you see £100 or something, i don't ever pay up.

That’s actually a form of superstition that is often confused for being obsessive compulsive. I know because I used to do it and ended up researching it a little.

If you're going to wager a marriage based on something so trivial, the answer should automatically be no. And definitely don't tell your future fiance that your proposal was decided by a basket toss because she'll rightfully lose her damned mind.
