Weird shit you do

Yeah but pure water essential for a healthy body IMO. Also it's not good to get water just from coffee and tea etc, the caffeine pushes out the water your body stores. (or something like this)

You're right. Substances that promote the production of urine are called diuretics, and will push water out of your body - caffeine is one of them. So is alcohol, and that's mostly what bad hangovers are all about; you're dehydrated after ingesting so much alcohol that your body was forced to push fluids out of the body. If you try to keep yourself hydrated with water at certain intervals when you're out drinking, your body will thank you the next day.
 
I've never had a hamburger. I mean, that's more like weird shit I haven't done, but it's always the thing people freak out the most about when I tell them.

When I get really tired, I make everyone's posts more interesting by rapping them softly.

Lots of incidental rhymes.

I take words in english, and then "re-spell" them in my own language so that the sounds match the letters. (e.g. no silent e's, etc.)

If I had an awkward conversation that concerns me, I reenact the conversation over and over in my head. Eventually I start acting it out aloud. I catch myself and hope no one heard me.

I reset any party-based game if any party members die. Same goes for some single player games (GTA, MGS). Doesn't matter whether the game tracks deaths or continues.

That's all I have.

Oh wait, sometimes if I bump something and it makes a noise, I shush it.

Ah yes, thanks for the clear explanation and tip. :D

When I have to take a shit, I HAVE to take a shit. Can't hold it.

I collect playing cards. Like Bicycle playing cards. I have over 4,000 decks

I have an arcade unit that can play a bunch of Mame games, SF4 AE and the new Mortal Kombat. All I play is SF2 and SF2 CE
 
I will often serenade an attractive woman in public, without asking, with a Sinatra or Andy Williams song while simultaneously leading her in a romantic dance.
I begin and end meals out by eating some salt from the salt shaker. Also, I only use pepper from peppermills.
I have a dishwasher, but I don't trust it.
I recite poetry or soliloquies to friends when the message is relevant.
I borrow words or phrases from other languages in conversation whenever they better articulate my meaning.
 
I can't play a new game unless the house is spotless.

I'm always shaking my leg or something. I can never just sit motionless.

I also put ketchup on my scrambled eggs. Come at me.

The volume of a device I'm using has to be on an even number, if it is a numerical meter.

I re-imagine every bad memory I've ever had, pretty much every day of my life. It's horrible, and it's certainly not on purpose.

I sit down to pee, it's been years since i peed standing up.
I do all these things. Well sometimes I would put the volume higher and lower once before I put it on the even number.

I eat mayonnaise with my potatoes instead of butter.

I eat chocolate milk with matza.

I hate having too much sugar, like I can only have one donut every couple of months.

I love sleeping on the floor more than sleeping on the bed.

I don't care if my socks matches or not.

I always daydream when I listen to music, I never listen to the lyrics.

I can't remember the lyrics to a song no matter how much I listen to it.

I dislike tea, coffee, garlic bread, and sometimes ice cream.

I like to put my knees to my chest if i'm watching a movie in the movie theater, or if i'm in someone's car.

My door must be closed when I'm in my room.
 
Oh I thought of another weird thing I do: I can remember the lyrics to nearly every song I've heard more than once.

Even the ones I hate, which sucks.

I can honestly say I know every word to nearly 1000 songs. (My entire music collection)

Worst. Superpower. Ever.

and likely connected to my synesthesia, but hey.

I don't have your superpower, but I can remember everything I hear in a baroque, classical, or romantic piece of music for orchestra after one hearing. I've been tested before on that claim by being asked to direct a piece after one hearing (I'm a conductor, by the way). It doesn't matter the duration, it just has to be from that period and that orchestration.

It's likely connected to my schizophrenia.

I pop my elbows.

When the clothes I'm wearing are dirty, I don't like my hands touching them, so it looks like I'm about to fight someone.

That's all we Dutch do with our baked potatoes, except maybe when we eat jacket potato. Dutch mayonaise - Zaanse mayonaise, or even Calvé - is amazing though.

I've had mayonaise in other countries, and that's mostly disgusting trash.

Another weird thing I do: I use my wrist and the back of my hand as a pillow when I sleep. Say you were to place your palm on your cheek, I fold my hand 180 degrees downward and rest on the back of my hand. It freaks people out when they see how limber I am :(

Uh a lot but just off the top of my head

-If just a little tiny bit of any food or condiment I don't like is on another food then I will be able to tell and I immediately run to a trash can to spit it out.
-I take showers that last like 30 minutes to an hour but most of the time I'm not doing anything in there. I'm just standing still.
-I pretty much exclusively defecate somewhere from 10 PM-3 AM
-Apparently when I drink water bottles I drink them "wrong". It's hard to describe without a picture since I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong but people tell me I "drink them out the side of my mouth" or something.
-I chew the bottom end of my 3DS stylus.
-I like letting my nails grow long even though I'm a guy.

This is the worst. Creeps me out every time.

If I'm climbing stairs, and I'm alone, I'll almost always use my arms to climb it as well (like a chimpanzee).
Usually I start with a run and get naturally hunched over and then just start using my arms as well. Maybe I have back problems.

No, the most logical explanation is that you were a chimpanzee in a past life, obviously.

One thing for me is that I must always eat the fries first before the hamburger, always, or before anything else.

Another thing is that I will rewind the DVR two, three, four, five times until and unless I get every single word that was uttered, and if unfamiliar with a word I will pause the show/movie/whatever and look it up.

Oh and I don't sleep at night, but after 7am.

I did that for weeks after watching the planet of the apes movie with Mark Wahlberg.

Sometimes when I'm in bed I like to twist my back in a way so it hurts like hell to be able to relax properly and fall asleep.
And when I was little I used to take two bread slices and have them with ketchup.

Holy shit. I thought I was alone!

I always run up/down stairs. Don't know why really. I'll walk up to it, then when I start to climb I try to be as fast as possible about it.

When I was younger I hated pooping/wiping, so I always held it in to the very last minute. I usually pooped like 2 times a week and I couldn't poop outside my home. I never noticed that I couldn't poop outside my home until I visited my dad for like 7 days. The last day I could take it anymore and I went to the bathroom right before leaving. I filled the entire bowl up. There was no way to flush that monstrosity, no way to flush in between as it all came out at once. To my surprise he never mentioned it. Surprisingly enough after that I made it an effort to poop when I have to and I go once a day. I'm still uncomfortable pooping outside of my home, but now I have a fuck it attitude and just do it.
edit- Now I try to go every day and for some reason watching porn makes me poop. So to make myself poop, even if I don't have to, I watch internet porn.

I laughed out loud. Now that's some weird shit!

I basically go when I have to go. I have a regular 24 hour schedule, so it's not too bad.

This is me. Additionally I have to wash my hands before I go to sleep.

Also does anyone else wash their mouth with soap after eating? Again, only way to feel perfectly clean. I don't do it in front of anyone though since I never see anyone do it myself :x
I wash my hands several times a day.

I always wash my hands after I eat a meal.

I also like to wipe clean my keyboard, mouse and game controllers once a week.

Can't be too clean. :p

I'm Dutch and I hate mayonnaise. It looks and smells disgusting.

I re-enact a lot of conversations in my head after they occurred to see if it played out in the best way possible. Mainly when I'm bored though... not constantly. Over analysing is a bitch.
 
I'm glad to see there are other people out there who act like I do. Welcome to NeoGaf i guess...

Whenever I drive through a tunnel, I roll down the windows and honk the horn.
I yell nonsensical phrases in my car until I burst out laughing.
I talk to myself out loud. Someone almost always hears me.
I routinely overthink/overplan events until I give up and take no action.
If there's a song I like, I will listen to it while reading the lyrics until I have every word memorized. Then I sing it...poorly.
