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”.

    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?

    If you left your door open at night you are inviting 'other beings' to enter your room.

    Shutting your bedroom door at night, could save your life in the event of a fire.

    Only bad things come out of closets with open doors at night! Proof is every scary movie ever made. And DO NOT EVEN THINK about hanging one foot off the edge of the bed, even if the mattress sits right on the floor!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one. My husband can't understand it at all, he wants to keep the door open to let the air circulate (we live near a boulevard, can't open the window). But I feel so distressed when a door is left open at night, especially if I have my back to it.

    Oh my goodness. My door is always closed, and my mom leaves it open on purpose because she doesn’t like it when I keep it closed. I try to explain, but to no avail. All doors must be shut.

    If your bedroom door is open or you're not under the covers while you sleep you're vulnerable to a monster attack - this is a universal known truth.

    I close the closets, but I need open doors. Specially because I tend to get up to go to the bathroom more than once at night, and I really hate the process of opening and closing doors at night for whatever reason. In my own house, there's also the fact that the dog likes to come in and out of my room, but I do the open doors thing anywhere I sleep.
