      I pour cereal before the milk. It helps to have a mop, it’s a really big mess.

        I finally managed to learn am/pm after working with brits for years, but every time they said “after midnight, past midday” as if it made it easier to remember, I just responded with “after midday, past midnight”

    Ive dated a few Filipina women over the years. When its my turn to cook, I’ll sometimes add a packet of onion soup mix to the rice cooker. Its delicious, but it triggers their FauxCD because its just wrong.

    When I eat pie, I eat it in layers: 1st the top crust or topping, then the filling, then the crust.

    I skip the fourth step from the bottom on every staircase. It started because multiple staircases I regularly traversed coincidentally all had spiders make their homes on the fourth step, so I’d step over them. And then I just never shook the habit.

    Know how some people are ambidextrous? I’m the opposite. Ambi-sinister. I’m naturally left-handed but I’m also nearly blind in my left eye so I’ve picked up a lot of things right-handed over the years. It wigs people out who’ve known me for a while when I do something left-handed like writing.

    Give more exact timing than nearest 5 minutes. Eg “I’ll be down in 4 minutes” because I have an idea how long things actually take.

      Then you must leave a path of annoyance and destruction.

      as most tasks depends on many factors and if you estimated the correct prep time.

      If it’s a 4 minute job on a computer and you hit a network lag, then you failed at determining factor calculation.

      If you hang a shelf and estimate 10 minutes but didn’t do the prep of finding the stud then parts of the wall falls down, you failed at determining factor calculation for the task as you didn’t account prep time.

      If you think you could clean a table in 2 minutes but then you realize the dishwasher wasn’t emptied, so you just left dishes on the counter for someone else to do the labour instead of accounting extra time then you failed at factor calculations.

      If you determine 3 minutes to throw your laundry in the machine but didn’t factor the machine needed emptying first then you failed at factors.

      Now if things are going on without a hitch, you can use time to your advantage for better preparation. If I give 10 minutes for a 7 minute task I’m gonna take that extra 3 minutes to grab a glass of water.

      If however someone needs to know I will take exactly 7 minutes to hang a shit they need therapy and that stops being my problem to ‘time’ manage for them.

    I sigh loudly. Not vocally, but I take in a deep breath and then release it quickly. It’s a tension release to me kinda like yawning but everyone around me seems to think I’m upset or frustrated when I do it.

      I do the exact same thing. Back in highschool people used to point it out or look at me weird or assume I was upset. My boyfriend asks me “What’s wrong?” and I respond with “Uhh…nothing?”

      I’ve done it for as long as I can remember and it feels like it relaxes my nerves.

    ya know how you can like look at a light, like the sun or a light bulb, and as you move your eyes around you an kinda make shapes like whirling your eyeball around to make a circle with the light ?

    well I do that but instead of just with lights, I do it with normal objects in my field of vision, and I do it really fast.

    to the observer my eyes balls look freakishly fast moving, but to me I am making your head into a big star shape over and over again.

    I clap with the back of my right hand slapping the palm of my left hand (Bajoran style). I don’t know why but it’s how I’ve always done it. For some reason I really hate the feeling of my palms and finger undersides touching each other.
