Odd Things People Do, Thinking Nobody Else Does It But They’re Not the Only Quirky Ones
Every single person in the world has their odd habits, and thinking that they’re just unique quirks can definitely be an overstatement. Remember that there are 8 billion people on this planet, so we surely are not alone in our craziness!
Redditor u/Edwoodz3 was wondering what odd behavior people have, so he asked them on Reddit: “What is an odd behaviour of yours you think only you do?” The responses were quite interesting, proving that a lot of people are just as odd as we are!
Get ready for a good laugh.
20. The Flappy Chicken
“I have hyperhydrosis (fancy word for sweating a lot) and my T-shirts are constantly sticking to my armpits. To unstick them, I just lift my elbows up and down a few times. Basically, I flap my arms like a chicken.
Most of the time, I don’t even realize I’m doing it. Imagine having a conversation with someone you have never met and they randomly start flapping like a chicken out of the blue and act like nothing just happened with no explanation.” – Reddit user saymynamebastien
If that’s not funny, then we don’t know what else is! We’d also love to see the flapping in person.
19. Showing Directions
“I walk fast. When it’s a crowded place, I use hand gestures whenever another person gets in my way to tell them where I will go, like I point to the left and they automatically move to the right without any awkwardness.
It works more often than I initially thought. I guess people tend to follow such unexpected gestures unconsciously.” – Reddit user thatawesomedude
Some people are so bad at taking directions we wonder how come nobody moved to the left instead of right?
18. Oww, It Hurts!
“After I stopped chewing on my nails I needed a new thing for when I’m nervous, preferably something discreet.
So I started pressing my nails into the side of my knuckles and then kind of pressing the hurting spot.
Somehow this pain feels extremely relaxing for me, also it helps me think when I can’t concentrate.” – Reddit user LiBo91
Whatever rocks your boat, LiBo91! It’s kind of a painful way to relax when stressed, but it’s probably better than chewing nails…
17. The Confused Dog
“I throw up gang signs at my dog. Don’t know why it started but I get a laugh out of it and my dog just likes the attention.” – Reddit user Melgitat_Shujaa
Ever used your hands to show something to your dog and he looked at you with that confused face? We think this redditor’s dog is still wondering what his human fellow is trying to communicate.
