Mine is that I pour the milk before the cereal. people are always extremely confused by that.
Brits seem to really love when I heavily salt tea and heat it in the microwave. I top it off by saying “Cheerio! Pip pip!” in my best southern drawl.
Don’t know why…
I set my clocks on 24 hour time. Usually gets a comment when they see it.
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 sigh normally for the same reason, and people react similarly.
I too eat kiwis with skin, but apparently stranger is that I eat the whole apple, starting from the bottom working up, core and all.
You what to a kiwi?
It’s self-evident. I’m not attracted to people without skin, regardless of nationality.
Apple seeds contain cyanide and amygdalin.

I eat kiwis with the peel
Australians are next
You’re going to eat Australians with the peel??
waiting in line when there are self checkouts available. I just dont like doing it.
Sock shoe sock shoe.
I have to test if the pants/sock/shoe combo works before committing to the whole process a second time.
What kind of incompatibilties have you experienced?
I’ve had several people comment on the way I tie my shoelaces. I can’t even remember how to do it the “normal” way, but I use that knot that takes about half a second where you make both loops at once and pull them through each other.
I did that knot in front of a shoe saleswoman and she commented she had never seen anyone do that before. Asked me to show her again how I did it.
I prefer eating only with the spoon. I’d even cut meat with it if it’s soft enough
I do this as well, but with a fork.
I wonder if there’s anyone eating knife only?
The three untenseers. We’d be unstoppable.
I wonder if there’s anyone eating knife only?
Mercenaries that try to intimidate people?
Mostly old men describing pet cemeteries
Sometimes I eat an apple with a knife only, slicing pieces and sticking them in my mouth with it.
I microwave rice or noodles with water to make them perfect.
That isn’t normal? I thought that was common leftovers knowledge, lol
Leftovers maybe, but I’m referring to the first time cooking it. I’ve had lots of strange looks for it.
I “fold” my socks by putting one sock fully into the other sock (picture wearing 2 socks on 1 foot). This way they are together and they don’t get stretched out.
People see you doing this? Are you organizing socks on the subway…?
I don’t get it. You do that as opposed to … what? Isn’t that the way to do it? You put one sock into the other and then kind of fold them in on themselves.

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.
Neuroqueering! It gives you fun situations everyday for sure.
What does this mean? I’ve never heard the term before.
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.
Wait, what does being heterosexual or not have to do with this?

I open bananas by pinching the bottom instead of ripping at the top (because it works better) and people act like I’m insane.
That is how apes open bananas too.
Not that I’m implying anything of course.
Technically, humans or homo sapiens sapiens are apes.
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!
chopsticks are awesome for messy snacks
Yup, (non-slippery) chop sticks are the absolute best for most crisps or cheesey-sticky-powder related snacks.
Lacking chop sticks, wooden tooth picks or barbecue sticks will do in a pinch (or stab).
I should keep some toothpicks in my portable flatware case!
