Same here, that way the best taste lingers the longest!

i do that too!

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 have to stop the microwave 1 second before it stops so it wont do the annoying beeps at the end

same...

there are more than me out there....awesome

Anxiety. I feel it.

Oml sameee

Or.....your just a loner like me :)

I work like this in the office. Part courtesy, part fomo.

I know right? It makes that staticy noise

S**t, do you live in America?

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

I do this with drying my hair

Smart move. I was home alone once vacuuming upstairs. Came downstairs to find a door broken open and huge footprints outside in the snow. Luckily I never saw him. Maybe a cat burglar afraid of the vacuum?

Yes! Me too.

I prefer not to hear someone breaking in

i do this even if i’m not home alone. Or when i’m maybe just laying in bed on bp or something. also i find it strange that only when i’m alone do i hear strange noises. BOTH times i was alone at my dad’s house i heard someone breething. The second time i heard a loud sigh and footsteps. I armed myself with a pen and waited in the “visibility spot” i had picked earlier. This spot can see basically the entire downstairs other than around a small corner and the wall directly behind it.

Everyone knows that loud noise takes away the eye-juice that helps you find streets, shops, other things.

i live in the country with fencing/gate, but even when the gate is closed, if i'm vacuuming, all the doors have to be locked just for this reason! it doesn't help that when i was younger, my sisters would sneak up on me and yank the cord out of the wall & jump at me me while yelling, just to scare the c**p out of me...

YES! i do this more often than i like to admit but with headphones in and even though i know i'm not the only one in the house i still have this habit to pause in case they call my name out

My husband always slept with a fan going. I was OK with it. Since he died, I won't sleep with a fan on because I'm afraid I won't hear someone breaking in.

The rest are just quirky, but this one means you actually have an issue (unless it's for a reason).

Oh dear, what a c**p life to be so paranoid.

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.

Yes, I have whole arguments in my head with other people.

I do have things to hide, and my reaction is the same... I mean... dude, that's my phone, it's sacred

i do that same exact thing

that's actually a good reflex to have

They are waiting for you to say bless you.

Lol I’m just scared of the dark

Yep

Pulling a cricket

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.

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

I used to do that, now I've learned to be more discreet (unless I'm in nature, then you can let go)

Same. I always feel like when people talk to me they're just doing it to feel polite :(

It's often recorded "canned" laughter. Also called a laugh track.
