What do you do- scrape the toppings off onto a plate?
I will eat plain vanilla icing with a spoon. Off of other people’s plates, the cake plate, and even the box.
And you better save the bread heads of any sub sammich for me.
Apparently I walk funny. I’ve heard people say I “walk on my toes” when I walk.
So now, when I walk, I have to consciously go heal-to-toe, heal-to-toe, heal-to-toe…
I hold a pen just about the same way. It rests on the ring finger but my middle finger is also underneath and index finger and thumb on top. I have a perma-callus on my ring finger from the way I hold a pen. My handwriting is terrible, maybe it has something to do with the way I hold the pen.
I’ve also been told that I walk funny sometimes. That’s just when my knee acts up though.
I hold a pen funny too- it rests on my ring finger, and I control it with my middle finger and thumb, with the index finger either straight or curled out the way. It’s probably because I crushed the end of my index finger at school age about 9, and I couldn’t use it for 6 months. My handwriting is terrible, but at least my finger still looks weird, so if anyone comments, I have an excuse/distraction right there 
I hold paintbrushes and chopsticks normally though, presumably because I didn’t really use them much while my finger was out of action.
I also look like a hamster when I drink; I inflate and fill my cheeks, unless I concentrate and stop myself.
Sometimes, when I’m really exhausted, and basically asleep on the way to the bed, I’ll take off my socks strangely. Basically I’ll moonwalk them off. Stepping on the ball of one foot and using the friction of the floor to slide the other sock off my foot. Then repeat on the other side.
It’s apparently a very smooth, quick motion, and it’s tough to catch me doing. Which makes sense, because I’ve never seen it myself, and can’t do it on purpose.
The weirdness is exacerbated by the fact that I don’t really notice floors, and so the two socks will stay there, in parallel lines in the middle of the floor, until the next time I come through looking for laundry to wash. For years I thought I was taking them off in bed. Finally someone caught the movement and explained it to me.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I can remember my father yelling at me for holding a pencil wrong; it was resting on my ring finger instead of my middle finger. That changed quickly, but now I hold pens and pencils too tight; my fingernails on my middle and index finger are misshapen and the top joints in my index finger and thumb click.
Something weird that no one sees is that I get earworms all the time, only not just songs. A word will come into my consciousness and I can’t stop thinking it. The thread about multisyllabic words had a lasting effect on me.
I do this. I’m comfortable enough with my SO to be able to verbalize words and songs without worrying about her looking at me askance. I’ll get a simple sentence in my head and turn it into a song, no words other than the phrase, e.g., “We are off to Grandma’s, We are off to Grandma’s, We are off to Grandma’s” ad infinitum and to some made up tune. Last time I did it I remarked that it was my new song and I considered it to be my greatest work since my “you cat” songs (which have some real words and that I like to sing to my cats).
If they’ve been bad:
“When I look at you, cat,
I think I need a new cat,
A cat that’s not like you, cat,
When I look at you.”
If they’ve been good:
“When I look at you, cat,
I think I need a new cat,
A cat that’s just like you, cat,
When I look at you.”
Anyway, tunes and words are always going through my head.
I still swing my leg over the back, except I bend my knee so my foot stays forward of the seat. It works.
My Dad gets off bikes funny. He unclips both feet at the same time and kind of coasts to a stop with both legs sticking out sideways and his arse bouncing on the seat. It’s like he’s nervous about unclipping one foot and then falling the other way, but he is an experienced rider who used to race in his younger days.
I’m a translator. And don’t call me “funny”.
…what?
I don’t use shaving cream. I have a beard that covers my jaw line and chin, and I trim it so most of my cheeks and neck are clean. I use a dry (multi-blade) razor. As long as the blade is relatively sharp, there is no pain or discomfort. It helps that my beard is light, both in density and hair thickness. If I used shaving cream, I couldn’t see exactly where the line I want to trim to was. I’ve been doing this for at least 25 years.
I don’t tie my shoes in the conventional way, but the way I tie them, they seem to stay tied for longer, so I don’t feel bad about it.
I guess that makes me lazy for not untying my shoes when I take them off.
Just watched a video about this. We used to walk like this all the time, until we got firmer shoes with soles and heels.
I have a speech defect and when I took my hearing dog out shopping I would tell him to ‘sit’ people would look at me like :eek: ! So I asked my daughter what it sound like when I say ‘sit’ and she said 'shit ’ ! LOL! My dad was born in Russia and they don’t have ‘th’ in their alphabet , dad would give me speech lessons when I was a little girl and have me count to 'three . Dad would say “one ,two. tree” then have me copy him and I would say " “one ,two. tree” and he would say "good girl ! My older sister and brother would stand in the doorway LOL . I had a few speech therapists and not one of them could get me to say ‘three’ ! I still say ‘tree’ for ‘three’ and the cashiers at Market Basket would
when I said I had ‘tree’ bottled of water . Now they want I mean . So I talk funny !
One of the air traffic controllers at Adelaide has a speech impediment, he talks like Sylvester the cat. Although I occasionally have a little giggle when he has to give out clearances and instructions with lots of “S” sounds, I have great respect for someone with some (minor) speech problems who would choose to make a career out of talking on the radio.
9 times out of 10, when removing my underwear, I flip it from my toe up into the air where I can catch it.
I hope I’m not the only one who does this, but I suspect I am.
mmm
I met a girl who was around 10 years old and we gotten talking to one another and she said to me " You sound just like bullwinkle 's monkey !" I said " Gee thanks !"
Then the girl said " I think it neat !" LOL! I think it was squirrel and not a monkey Bullwinkle had
The funniest one is when I went with a b/f to visit his some of his family .
All the adults were sitting in the living room and a little girl around 11 yo kept standing in front of me and finally said " You talk funny !" I told her " I hear funny too" and showed her my hearing aid . You could see the girl mind really working and she said to me " Take that out of your ear!" So I took my hearing aid out then the girl told me now talk and I did . Oh dear the child was so shocked and
said " You still talk funny !!" OMG ! She thought she had cured my funny speech and that my hearing aid was making me talk funny ! It was a riot !
