One weird little thing we all do but rarely talk about is replaying imaginary arguments or conversations in our heads, often coming up with the perfect comeback we wish we’d said at the time.

#3
Pretending not to see someone you know in public to avoid that awkward “hi” moment. We all do it, don’t lie.
#4
Withessing some (random) person doing something really embarassing to themself and actively choosing/doing our best to ignore it and moving on. This is empathy. RedeRules770: At work once this lady bent over to grab her purse and whatnot. I happened to be facing away from her and she tooted, just a little one. She said “oh! Excuse me!” I turned around with a confused look and said “for what?” She looked SO RELIEVED and said “oh, never mind”
She’ll never know that I know.

When you’re pooping in a public bathroom and strategically plan your exit for when it’s empty so no one associates you with the smell of poop or farts you might have unleashed.

“When hot in bed, we don’t just throw the covers off. We stick out a single leg….except we don’t just “dangle” it outside the covers, we wrap it around the duvet and kinda clamp it back down. No one has ever shown us how to do this. No one ever taught us to do this. No one has ever discussed this. We just all do it. ”
#11
Disgustingly brutal intrusive thoughts. The ones that would shatter your world if it happened.
#12
Picking our noses. I mean, c’mon. Sometimes a tiny, golden morsel is stuck in just that one irritating spot where you can feel it for minutes – or hours – and there’s no Kleenex in the vicinity. So up goes the finger and out comes the booger. Flick it, eat it, wipe it on your jeans. Whatever. Gotta get rid of it.
#13
Look at other people’s food as waiters bring it to their table at a restaurant.

Picking our underwear out of our a*s crack.

The things we smell sometimes. Our own farts. Our hands after scratching an itch in your pants….we all do it when we are alone. It’s actually biologically ingrained in us to “like” that smell. Our brains give us a little dopamine for checking….if the smell is off we know something is wrong.

When we accidentally spit on someone when talking and all act like nothing happened. potsgotme: And you can still feel it on your arm and you wait til they look away so you can wipe it even though you both know they just f**king spit on you while locking eyes.
