30 Common Quirks

You know those weird quirks you have? Well, chances are that other people have them too. Here are some of those quirks that are actually pretty common.

1. Having a fear of looking into a mirror in a dark room.

2. Yelling at or physically abusing an inanimate object that you ran into.

3. Going out of your way to step on a leaf that looks crunchy. If it isn't crunchy, you get disappointed.

4. Hating it when the teacher erases the board but misses on little spot.

5. Hating it when it's quiet and you're eating something crunchy. Or while watching TV, and you can't hear over your own chewing.

6. Hating it when someone takes the piece of food you've mentally claimed.

7. Always pushing those little buttons on the lids of fast food drinks.

8. Not being able to stand hearing your own voice in videos or recordings.

9. Hating that awkward moment when you get the lyrics wrong to a song.

10. Hating when a car pulls up next to you at the redlight, and you can see straight into their window. Especially awkward if you're singing along to a song. Awkward eye contact is best avoided.

11. Wanting to draw all over everything when you have a Sharpie in your hand.

12. Hating it when one string of your hoodie is longer than the other.

13. Picking your mascara off when you're bored.

14. Wanting someone to say a certain thing because you have the perfect answer.

15. Drawing on yourself when you're bored.

16. Hating it when you're about to say something good and the topic changes.

17. Going out of your way to kick a rock as you're walking.

18. Saying/reading a word so many times that it doesn't sound/look like a word anymore.

19. Running and jumping into bed so nothing can grab your leg and pull you under.

20. Not being able to get through a conversation without saying "um" or "like".

21. Typing aggressively when you're pissed off, even though the offender can't see it.

22. Arguing with someone, realizing halfway through that you're wrong, but continuing to argue because you refuse to lose.

23. Looking down at your cellphone to avoid someone walking by.

24. Awkwardly turning around in the hallway, realizing you went the wrong way. Similarly, once you realize you're going the wrong way, you pull out your cellphone and nod at it, pretending someone suddenly told you to go the other direction.

25. Thinking it's awkward walking the same direction as someone after saying goodbye.

26. Not knowing what to do while people sing "Happy Birthday" to you.

27. Turning off the lights downstairs and running like hell.

28. Having to have the TV or radio volume on even numbers or multiples of five.

29. Not letting your leg hang off the bed because you're scared a monster will grab it.

30. Pretending you heard what someone said because you've already asked "What?" twenty times now.
