When I was younger, my parents introduced me to the Reader’s Digest. They used have a subscription, so we get a new edition every month. I loved their regular feature called “Laughter is the Best Medicine”.
I was browsing Reader’s Digest earlier this morning and focused on the article Are You Normal or Nuts?. I took my sweet time reading about other people’s quirks. One of them was…
Sometimes I try to avoid stepping on cracks or spaces between tiles. It’s as if I can feel the cracks through my shoes. Seriously, am I nuts?
I actually know someone who has this quirk. One of my cousins, in her own odd way, likes to step right in the center of tiles and avoid the spaces between them. I thought then she was just playing some form of hopscotch but it turns out it was a quirk of hers. I found it rather funny. And my cousin, good-natured person that she is, just laughs about her own nuttiness.
Some of the quirks mentioned in the article were weird, some were funny, some were quite annoying and a few I didn’t think were quirks at all. But then I realized I do have quirks of my own. In fact, I think everyone has their own quirks, hidden on not.
Wanna know one of mine?
Toilet Paper Goes Over the Roll
I hate seeing toilet paper that goes under the roll. In fact, when I am at someone else’s home, I always go to the bathroom and see how they set their toilet paper. If it is under the roll, I get so uncomfortable that I just have to change the setup from this:
To this:
That’s how I like my toilet paper. Over the roll.
My friends who know about this quirk just laugh at me. Bah. They have their own odd ways. I’m sure you do, too! These little things actually make us special, don’t you think? You can read more quirks in the article Are You Normal or Nuts? and share your own opinions on it.
Or maybe you’re brave enough to share a quirk of your own?
If you want more anecdotes that will surely lighten you up, head on to Reader’s Digest Laughs.
