Gaz FFC Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 (edited) I generally assume that no crime will take place where I live. Leave the car doors unlocked and sometimes open. Leave the house door open when I'm in wandering around the house (I like the fresh air) I've left the door unlocked many times when I go out. Because of where we live you'd have quite a job stealing stuff from my house and getting away without someone seeing what you're doing. In general I just assume no thief would come near our house/car as it is too watched and surrounded.

nsr Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 If I make a mess in the house I tend to leave it untouched, assuming the wife will sort it out, since all domestic duties are shared between us and that is one of hers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coprolite Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I often get stuck with a verbal tic for weeks on end whereby I add unnecessary words. Back in the day it was "like", I did "so" at the start of sentences (before c***s on telly did) and am currently weaning myself off "and suchlike". It really annoys me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 With multipacks, if there's only one item left then I leave it in the big wrapper rather than take it out and bin the wrapper. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawB93 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Rather than finish something (juice, shower gel. sauce etc) I will leave it for ages with only one use left in it. As if somehow it's more beneficial to have something you can't use than than not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even finish sauce before binning it. I don't have the patience to throw a bottle about trying to get the scrapes from the bottom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As if somehow it's more beneficial to have something you can't use than than not. I've written before about the strange rules my mum and dad imposed when we were growing up. No rhyme or reason to most of them but they backed each other up without fail. One was that to eat the last of something good was a capital offence. "Who ate the last of the chocolate biscuits?????" for example. I could never get them to explain why it was OK to eat the 2nd, or the 10th or any other of the chocolate biscuits but to eat the last one was an absolute no no. I suspect the idea was you were supposed to ask politely if anyone else wanted it but given that was a sure fire way to not get it yourself, there was no good solution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waspy Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Whenever I'm out for a Burger King or such I always eat the fries first before touching the burger. This for some reason seems to annoy people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 I have an occasional recurring facial twitch that ive had since I was a wee boy, can be a wee bit embarrassing explaining to people I have just met. Basically I sometimes, usually when im nervous or unsure about something I squint my eyes and make a small jerking motion with my head, my dad's solution to it when I was small was to violently hit me over the head whenever I did it which, naturally worked a treat. Don't do it all the time, just when im anxious but pretty embarrassing truth be told. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
