One of my favorite chocolate bars is Twix. A typical pack contains two identical bars. A little while back they started selling packs that, while still containing two bars, claimed to contain “just left Twix” or “just right Twix”. The joke being, there’s no actual difference between a “left Twix” and a “right Twix”, so nothing has changed except the writing on the package.
Here’s the irrational part: Whenever possible, I buy Left Twix instead of Right Twix. For political reasons.
”Thank you for your unwitting participation in the psychosocial experiments of Mars, Inc. For our next query, we’d like you to respond as to your preference for the red or blue M&M.”
Try to explain things to the pets.
Worry if the lil’wrekker is driving carefully. ( she’s never been a reckless driver, she’s 19yo and lives at her college).
Fight with myself about being so agoraphobic. At this point it’s never gonna get better, but it could get alot worse.
Sometimes I get a wild hair and drive crazy like the locals. There are no patrol cars monitoring traffic. I look at my speedometer out of sheer curiosity. It’s fun as hell, keeps you on your toes.
In a thread from a few years ago, someone mentioned “toilet races,” as in flushing the toilet before you’re finished, with the goal of the final bowl-clearing event happening just as you finish peeing. Why do I keep doing this? There’s no point.
I don’t step on cracks in the sidewalk. Or lines (which are different from cracks. Lines are put there intentionally by the contractor - cracks develop due to tree roots or the heat/freeze cycle).
I regularly get angry at inanimate objects when they aren’t doing what I want them to do. I’ll put the remote control on a table, and then it falls off, and I know that I put it in the right place so it must be the fault of the control or the table.
I’m glad I saw this, I was going to start a thread about it. When I’m watching a tv show or movie, and one of the actors has an accent, I always turn the volume up. It doesn’t make sense to me, but I do it, all the time.
