Let's be different
July 26, 2023 at 2:34 pm
A thread to discuss how you personally do something differently than the norm.
For instance, I don't eat a sandwich as intended. I take it apart and eat each individual parts.

I smell the roses from the bottom up. I start with the dirt and then move slowly up the stem until I nest my nose into the flower.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

When I take medication in pill or capsule form, I put water in my mouth first then the pills.
This started back when my parents kept Ampicillin on hand in huge bottles and gave it to us for whatever ailed us. They tasted so bad that my method helped keep the capsule off my tongue and limited the taste.

When I have cold cereal, I put the milk in the bowl first.
I tip servers before I order.
I never, EVER use fabric softener.

I got nothing. I'm so ordinary, plain janes compare themselves to me.

It's virtually impossible for me to lose my keys - I have one set sewn on a tether inside my purse, and another one similarly attached to the inside of my university knapsack.
What's more, my house locks are all of the deadbolt type so I have to lock them from the outside, with the key, when going out.

Every time I've gone up or down a set of steps, I count the number of steps in my head. I still do it now.

I will sometimes skip steps, or add extras, to make the count equal 8 or 16.
