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?

    I'm the opposite. It annoys me to have the buzzing music sound in one ear only. I rather turn it off, or turn the volume down enough to hear the surroundings as well. But if you interrupt me in my music listening experience to ask or tell me something, then, yes, my natural reaction will be to take one off to hear you better. If it takes longer, I turn it off.

    Same here. Hate sound in one side only. I'll stop the sound if I have to interact at all, and take the headphones off. I'll wear "loose" ones and have low volume. But I definitely won't wear only one.

    I hope your noise doesn't spill out of the loose headphone into the surrounding environment. If it does, you're my nemesis.

    That's why I listen to music at home and give it my full attention. It's not just background noise, it's art.

    Sometimes I put my earbuds in but don't have music on. That way I can still hear everything but I seem occupied so no one bothers me

    I feel too self-conscious to wear earbuds in public. I worry that people think im trying to hard to look cool when I just wanna listen to music.

    If you use bone conducting headphones you can still hear things around you. I use them when walking my dogs or walking with traffic around so that I can still hear other things. That and they don't go in the ears, so my ears don't get all itchy. Check out Trekz.

    I think people are nuts to walk around in public with both head phones on.... granted I work on a campus & getting around without hitting students with my car is a major problem. Added to that, we currently have a serial rapist in town... so yeah. Being aware of your surroundings isn't FOMO.

    I do that too, cause if they're both in you may get hit by a bus or a plane...depends where you are 🤔

    I don't put both in even in planes or buses. The only time I put both in is when I'm trying to drown out my family talking.

    The bus is the first place you need to be aware of your surroundings though.

    Sometimes I do this when someone is in my office that I want to hear what they have to say. The rest of the time both buds are in.

    Same. I won't even wear headphones when I'm out working in the yard. I think my paranoia comes from having cops in my family, though.

    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.

    That's pretty high stakes for just trying to hit the trash can with some garbage. Go big I guess.
