Wait, People Actually Do These Everyday Things Totally Differently?

I always put my bra on by clasping it in front, then twisting it around my back. Turns out a lot of folks just hook it right in the back and move on with life. Mind blown.

I never brush my teeth ‘dry.’ Always gotta splash some water onto the toothbrush or toothpaste first. Some people apparently don’t do this and it’s a shocker to me.

I always rinse out cups and glasses before using them just to be safe. Learned recently that not everyone does this and honestly, it’s wild to me.

I eat my food starting with the flavors I like least and save the best bites for last. It’s like a mini victory lap every meal. Turns out this isn’t everyone’s game plan!

I dry myself off while still in the shower so the bathroom floor doesn’t turn into a slip ‘n slide. My friends thought it was crazy. Nope, it’s just smart!

I assumed everyone spent way too much time overthinking stuff like I do. Turns out some people are just chill and don’t flip out about every little thing. Major revelation.

I refuse to eat dessert or yogurt with anything bigger than a teaspoon. Apparently this is an ADHD thing? Who knew my tiny spoon obsession had a name.

I always watch my feet while going up or down stairs. Found out most people just wing it without paying attention. I call it safety first, they call it overthinking.

I always face away from the shower to rinse shampoo, leaning my head back like a pro. Found out some folks lean forward into the spray and it freaks me out a bit.

I thought everyone sat down to put on pants, but turns out many just balance on one leg like flamingos. Meanwhile, I’ve been perched on the bed edge forever.

I dry my hands by shaking them like a raccoon who just touched something cursed. Found out most people actually grab a towel. Wild.

I roll up my fitted sheets after laundry and hide them inside the flat sheet. Most people apparently have a complex folding routine. I’m just here like, ‘Roll and stash. Done.’

At the Grand Canyon, a buddy yelled from the shower about freezing water. Turns out he’d always gotten in first and waited it out inside. We told him to just wait outside the shower 'til it’s warm. Life changed.

I literally thought everyone had a constant running inner monologue—like a movie announcer in their heads. A friend told me her mind is actually just quiet sometimes. Mind. Blown.

A nurse laughed when she saw me sip water first before popping pills. She said most people just swallow pills dry and wash ’em down. I guess I’m fancy like that.

I put on my socks before my pants every single time. It might sound weird but hey, it works for me.

I walk with purpose—eye on the prize, dodging people, helping out the slow walkers. Folks told me most kind of just wander around like zombies. I’m the energizer bunny of pedestrians.

I HAVE to blow my nose right after sneezing, even if I’m totally healthy. A friend told me most people don’t do this and I’m apparently alone here. The struggle is real.

When I lie on my side, I stick my opposite hand in the air and hold it up for a bit. No idea why, but it’s oddly satisfying. Anyone else do this?

After biting a cookie, I lick the edges to keep the crumbs from falling everywhere. Once, a friend laughed and called me crazy. Nope, just careful.

I sip drinks through the corners of my mouth because my front teeth are super sensitive. Learned it’s a bit unusual but hey, it works for me.

My inner monologue sounds like several songs playing all at once while I think about multiple things with random background beats. Apparently, I might have ADHD or something. Who knew?

I used to just put on new clothes right out of the bag or closet, no washing first. Found out a lot of people wash them before the first wear. Ooops.

I thought you were supposed to tear out the center of seat covers and lay it on the toilet in a U-shape. Nope! The flap is actually meant to hang down into the bowl. Learned this way too late.

My dad holds a fork like a shovel because wrist issues. Grew up thinking that was just how everyone ate until someone asked why I held mine “normal” at 17. Late bloomer!

I whistle by sucking air in (not out). Didn’t know it was odd until my teens. Now I can whistle both ways and basically whistle forever because I can breathe and whistle at the same time. Major brag.

I only wash dishes with super hot water that’s practically burning my skin. Apparently, not everyone does that. I’m the ‘scalding water for cleanliness’ type, and I stand by it!

I tie my shoes just once. Then I slip them on and off like magic. Who has time to tie them every day? Not me!

I just wander aisle by aisle with no list or plan. Later learned most people map out their attack and shop with laser focus. I’m more of a ‘see what calls me’ shopper.

I love finding patterns in license plate numbers—and even times! Like mixing and matching digits to make secret math connections. Apparently, it’s not for everyone, but it keeps me entertained.

In 9th grade, I discovered tamales actually have meat hidden inside. For years, I’d just eat the outside and toss the rest. I was so wrong and it was a game changer.

Two classics: I fold toilet paper before using it, and when wiping, I lean to the side while sitting. Both apparently not the usual moves.

I count every step I take when going up or down stairs. Some people just kinda walk and don’t keep score. I’m in it for the numbers game.

After brushing, it takes me a ton of little spits to get all toothpaste out. Everyone else seems to just blast it out in one go, which I can’t do. Weird, right?

I found out not everyone can make their eardrums rumble on purpose. My sister and I can—it’s great for zoning out annoying sounds. My husband had no clue what I was talking about.

I write my letter S starting from the bottom. It’s just how I learned it, and apparently, most people do it the other way around. Doesn’t bother me!

When I block my ears, I fold the ear flap up and press on that. Turns out most people just stick their fingers in there. To each their own!

I eat cheeseburgers upside down because it just feels right. Eating them the usual way feels off to me. Burger rebels unite!

I always brush my teeth before eating breakfast. Found out most people do it *after* eating and now I’m questioning all my life choices.

I hold my pencil resting on my ring finger, not the usual index or middle finger. Everyone thinks that’s odd, but hey, it works for me.

When snapping fingers, I use my thumb and ring finger, not thumb and middle finger like most people. Using the 'normal' way feels super wrong to me!
