      I pour cereal before the milk. It helps to have a mop, it’s a really big mess.

    Know how some people are ambidextrous? I’m the opposite. Ambi-sinister. I’m naturally left-handed but I’m also nearly blind in my left eye so I’ve picked up a lot of things right-handed over the years. It wigs people out who’ve known me for a while when I do something left-handed like writing.

    I sigh loudly. Not vocally, but I take in a deep breath and then release it quickly. It’s a tension release to me kinda like yawning but everyone around me seems to think I’m upset or frustrated when I do it.

        I finally managed to learn am/pm after working with brits for years, but every time they said “after midnight, past midday” as if it made it easier to remember, I just responded with “after midday, past midnight”

    Not checking in with someone if we made plans. My wife will ask if I texted my family to see if we’re still doing the thing we planned. If I make plans with someone, then I’m going unless they tell me is cancelled. My family could make plans for 12 years from now and we’d all be there a little earlier than the time we said we would be there.

      In the case of my wife’s family, if we make plans, most of them are guaranteed to show up late. We’ve made it a habit to plan things for 30 minutes to an hour before we actually want to start because we know they’ll be late. Being a veteran, it drives me crazy. If I’m not a few minutes early, I feel like I’m late.

      When people often text me or call to make sure plans are still on, it has the weird effect of making me no longer want to go. I’m introverted, but if I make plans I will be there. So it sort of opens the door for me to cancel for some reason.

    My odd habbit that I hope one day someone will call me out on is that I only scoop half a jar of peanut butter or any other sandwich spread from one half of the container. Ill dig and clean our the entire side of the container and then try to scoop the rest out from the bottom of the other side to leave the pristine untouched top-side of the jar as the last part of the food that is used.

    This is a reference to Calvin & Hobbs, but ive been doing it for 20 years… So… Yah…

    Sock shoe sock shoe.

    I have to test if the pants/sock/shoe combo works before committing to the whole process a second time.

    I skip the fourth step from the bottom on every staircase. It started because multiple staircases I regularly traversed coincidentally all had spiders make their homes on the fourth step, so I’d step over them. And then I just never shook the habit.

    I clap with the back of my right hand slapping the palm of my left hand (Bajoran style). I don’t know why but it’s how I’ve always done it. For some reason I really hate the feeling of my palms and finger undersides touching each other.

        To keep it too simple, it’s neurodivergent people not adapting themselves to the constructed social norms.

        In a more elaborated definition: it’s subverting, defying, disrupting, liberating oneself from neuronormativity and heteronormativity simultaneously.

        When people have a brain functioning differently from the majority, you will have different behaviors not matching the heteronormativity and the neuronormativity —even if you’re heterosexual. The most obvious examples are not making eyes contact, not shaking hands, stimming in public.

    When I make coffee in the morning I put in one packet of pink sweetener, then half sugarfree liquid creamer and half milk then microwave it for 30 seconds to bring it back up to temp. And sometimes a splash of a Torani flavor for absolutely no reason. Could I just use a little more creamer instead of the sweetener? Sure. Could I use even more creamer and NO milk? Sure, I guess. I just enjoy mad scientisting my coffee. Wife just sighs and gets out of my way in the kitchen.

    I use my indicators when reversing out of a parking spot. It’s the way I was taught, and it makes sense to me, but apparently it’s weird.

              It’s the exact same parking slot no matter which way you’re driving in/out.

              I disagree that it overall takes any more time no matter which way you park but one thing is for sure and it’s that backing in is safer. It’s way more common for people to get hit by a car that’s backing out of parking slot that by one backing in. You can’t see your surroundings when backing out because of the cars on your both sides but I can see the entire parking slot when I’m backing in.

                It’s faster to drive forward into a parking spot than to back into one. It’s also faster to back out of a parking spot to back into one. Therefore, it’s never faster to back into a parking spot.

    I use flatware when eating everything, including finger food. My friends only made fun of me when I ate crisps with a fork.

    I will remove the top bun from hamburgers and use a knife & fork to cut little wedges out of them. Fewer carbs & no sloppiness!
