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.

    @ Tiny: it’s a safety thing. If it helps a person to feel secure, then they should go for it. It’s a simple desire to continue living.

    I will literally LOOK in the back seat from outside my car, get into my car, and still LOOK into the back seat just to make sure I'm not gonna be murdered on the highway. damn scary movies.

    Are there people who don't check their car when they get into- oh right. Men generally don't feel a need to do that.

    I first check under the car, then the inside, before I even get in! And if in a parking lot, I check all the other cars, too. If there is a windowless van by me, I will have someone walk me out.

    I train myself in self-defense and fast reflexes so if my bro tries to do something I can stop it from happening.

    That's really not weird. It's taught in safe driving classes & self-defense classes.

    Every time I get into my car, I automatically lock all 4 doors because I don't want anyone trying to get into my car and trying to hurt me, steal my purse or whatever.

    I do this but it is because a girl I went to college with hopped in her car a drove off and a rapist was hiding in the floor of her back seat. If I am alone I also make sure I lock the doors and make sure they are locked before I look. The second I am in and the door closes I relock the doors.

    Hopefully you do this BEFORE you get in your car. After you are IN the car, it's too late.

    On the true crime front, a man supposedly committed suicide by slitting his own throat in the parking lot of the WalMart I worked at. It took a while for the cops to say that THEY were convinced it was suicide. It's been over 15 years and I still haven't decided what I think, since it would take some serious finesse to cut your own throat and throw the knife on the floor on the opposite side of the car.

    There was an urban legend years ago that a woman was being followed, the people kept flashing their high beams at her, so she pulled into the first busy gas station she could find. I can't remember if she ran inside or ran to a cop or just pulled up next to someone and told them about the people following her. Whoever she told went to go talk to the other car, who admitted to everything but said "I flashed my lights every time that guy in the back seat would come up behind her looking like he was going to stab her!!"

    My uncle was car jacked and had his throat slit from behind. He survived but it's made the whole family check their cars since 1995.

    I feel like you should get a sad smiley or something. I'm glad your uncle survived but I wish he'd never had to go through it at all.

    The worst is when you have a hatchback and tinted windows, that back trunk-section is super hard to check :/

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