Hey Everyone,

Not long ago, MissCris had an awesome thread about the things we DON'T like (steak was one of her examples) that make people think we're weird.

Lately I've been thinking about the opposite side of the coin: what you all DO like that makes other people think you're nuts (and I'm sorry if this has been done before... I try to keep up with the threads in Singles but I'm good at missing the boat... and often, entire fleets at a time :)).

What are the things that you absolutely love that will cause others to scratch their heads, crinkle their noses, or, in my case, make a call to someone with a straight jacket? (I've come to think of them a fashion statements, not states of mind. :))

I probably have an entire list of things I love that make people think I'm off my rocker (rockers throw off my balance anyway). :) But the inspiration for this thread is the fact that I was recently on two flights that had several hours of turbulence, and I loved every single moment of it. Yeah, it sometimes makes me pretty nauseous (motion sickness) but to me, airplane turbulence is like riding a roller coaster -- for some reason, I'm not worried at all about the plane crashing -- I figure, if it's my turn for God to punch my ticket, it's going to happen anyway... so I might as well enjoy the ride, right?

Yes, people think I'm crazy. :) It happens so often that I've come to see it as a compliment.

How about the rest of you? ;) What things float your boat that make others believe your ship already sank a long time ago?
 
My husband thinks I'm weird because I'm in love with Jane Austen's stories. He's all, "Wow, are all her stories about women finding a husband?" And I'm like, "Yes! Isn't it romantic?" And he's all, "NO, it's pathetic!"

Pssh.

I like slightly burnt food. But maybe that's because I've had to acquire a taste for it, or throw out half of what I cook.

People think I'm weird because I like:

Steak and ketchup

Bananas with peanut butter and chocolate chips

Waffles with peanut butter and jelly (haven't done that in years though since I went gluten-free/dairy-free.)

I dunno if this makes me weird or not, but crazy car rides to youth events with my crazy friends/youth leaders is something I enjoy a lot. I LOVE car rides when I'm not suffering going through phases of car sickness (which can happen. I'll go through phases of where I can't stand to be in a car for more than 15 minutes.)
 
I like dipping regular potato chips in ketchup.

I like dipping french fries into chocolate milkshakes.

I like the smell of new shower curtains and new carpet.

I like winter.

I like dipping chicken nuggets, french fries, and a couple other things into ranch dressing, though sometimes I'll make a mixture of ranch dressing and honey mustard and dip it into that.

I like the rain, and I actually don't mind driving in it as long as it's not too bad. I like watching the windshield wipers go back and forth and wipe away the rain. :P

For that same reason, I like vacuuming. I like the sound it makes when it sucks stuff up, and I like seing the stuff disappear.

Shoot...I think I'm weird for liking that stuff. ;)
 
Oh and...anything I think will taste good dipped in coffee, WILL be dipped in coffee. (chocolate chip cookies and brownies are two examples. And it DOES taste good. :D)
 
In a world full of weird, the only weird is normal.
But we can't find normal.
 
People think I'm weird because I like................ Seoulsearch's threads!!!

On a side note...

People think I'm weird because I like.............

1. Eating liver
2. Plain hamburgers
3. To wear either all black clothes or all beige clothes
4. To eat my breakfast first, and then brush my teeth (does anyone else do that?)
5. The 1999 movie "Existenz" starring Jude Law and Jennifer Jason Leigh

You're weird because you're a wabbithead.:p
 
Rachel- I like vacuuming, too! It's...soothing, and strangely satisfying.

And it prevents my son from eating random dirt off the floor. So, win!
 
I would just like to take a moment to invite all the people who like vacuuming (and dusting, and mopping, and doing laundry) over to my house to clean it from top to bottom, er, I mean, for a big party.

We'll even make it a BYOT!!! (Bring Your Own Tools.) :)

Jane Austen is considered one of the greatest English novelists, so I think this is one up to you (not of course that I would dream of encouraging a wife to diss her lord and master!).

Assuming the "all humans are weird" theory is true,
there is the type of weird people who can find a place where they feel they belong moderately easy,
and the type of weird who feel that they don't fit in even if they struggle.
The real definition of normal should mean the first thing. ^
 
I think I'm a little nuts just because I have to live with myself. Does that make sense?
 
I have no idea if other people think I'm weird, so I'll just list some weird likes and if someone thinks I'm weird they can just tell me so here. xD


I like rats (Domestic ones, not wild. There is a huge difference between the two).

I like to save my cat's whiskers that he sheds naturally. If I see one lying on the floor, I wash it off and keep it. Cat whiskers are special because they are rare, and you can hang on to them long after your pet is gone.

I like to change my socks 2-3 times a day.

I like to dip my fries in BBQ sauce.

I like skunk smell.

I like to jog around my yard when it's dark out for the sake of a quick fresh air burst and exercise, resulting in the neighbors getting paranoid that I'm some kid cutting through our yard illegally (when I in fact live here). I've had so many flashlights pointed at my face over the years, and even got the cops called on me once for this....
Apparently jogging through your own yard after dark is suspicious activity. Ahh, the joys of trying to enjoy a pathetic pinch of nature in the suburbs. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I like to poke at dead jellyfish with a stick on the beach.

I like the goth style clothing. I don't wear it myself (not my thing), but I like how it looks on other people.

Long hair on men. That can include dreadlocks. ;)

I do that. It makes more sense to do it that way around if you ask me. Breakfast doesn't taste like toothpaste and your teeth stay cleaner longer.
 
people think I'm weird because I like Rush :/ there's a lot of Rush haters where I live.

Wait it's not normal to brush your teeth after breakfast? Ummmm OK but its normal to brush AFTER lunch and dinner? Whoever made THAT up is weird!!!
 
Well as someone who hates Rush, I can understand that. The absence of good Chord progression makes me want to choke small forest animals.

I hate watching TV. I have no patience for commercials and I don't care how it ends usually.
