I dated a girl who believed in left and right socks. She had a whole system in place to ensure the socks never got mixed or more importantly worn on the wrong foot.
With socks made for hiking/mountaineering it actually matters. Always funny to wear those in daily life because everyone will comment on the big L and R that are on them.
When I was a teen I saved a small girl from drowning and ever since I've had a need to always be ready for any emergency. So everytime I go to a venue, conference, restaurant etc I make mental notes of all the emergency exits, first aid kits, fire extinguishers and defibrillators etc. I always have stuff in my EDC and my car that could save me, my loved ones or some random people in need and I have since saved the life of 2 other people and been first on site on multiple car crashes (I worked for DHL for a long time so I have spent alot of hours on the road).
I guess I see being prepared a little different. I don't do it for what I have encountered in the past, but rather what I may experience in the future. I built my first aid kit not on the things I have encountered, but rather on my skills, having done volunteer firefighting and being a nurse. The other criterion is the most likely need in a variety of possible situations. 🤷♂️ Oh and saving a couple lives is great, but bragging kinda detracts from it. Honestly it comes across as either vain or seeking validation. Not trying to be a jerk with this, by the way.
I do something similar, not worst to best though and I've done it as far back as I can remember. If I have lets say a steak, potatoes and corn on my plate (can be any combination really) I will eat one thing until it is gone before moving to the next. I have no issues with food mixing or "food can't touch" but I will not move back and forth between items.

Brett's story about the books and bending them backwards... *shivers* I love paperback books and pride myself in keeping them in pristine condition. Then one time I let me little sister borrow one of my books and the spine was a MESS when she handed it back to me after finishing it and I was like "WHAT DID YOU DO?!" And she showed me how she bent it backwards and I literally freaked out and shrieked and yanked the book from her, probably called her a monster and definitely never let her read any of my paperbacks ever again.
I considered paperbacks in the range of acceptable losses. I've begun a reread, and one book was literally falling apart, and "oh well, it's a paperback, I'll get another one." Of course, I might not be able to get the edition cover I want so... fuck.
This. I have a burning contempt for even the *idea* of damaging books on purpose, if I saw someone bend a book like that, I do not know what I’ll do, probably yank it out of their hands or something. Just the thought of it *shivers*
@@phoebusapollo8365 Lol Agreed. And seriously, when my sister did that to my book right in front of me, I legitimately DID yank it out of her hands.

I got a few weird ones, 1 - I love the smell of rubbing alcohol, whenever I use it to clean something I will get an extra cotton pad with it on there and smell it for a good 10+ minutes. 2 - as a 30 year old man I still do a full walk through of the house before bed to make sure nothing or no one is in my home. 3 - I love to sit in silence so much that sometimes I watch TV with it muted and nothing else going. This one is probably because I’m a hunter and I’m used to long periods of no noise but nature, still weird though.
The alcohol thing, I get it but don't partake. What's interesting is different regions have different essences. Texas has one smell, Tennessee's has another. They are 90 % similar just a different spice.
ketchup is a must! and I season the hell out of them black pepper, paprika, onion powder (or real onions and bell pepper if I have them on hand) garlic, red pepper flakes, I hate the taste of eggs 🤣
“I left my wife in New Orleans with 45 kids and a can of beans” 😂 also can relate to hugging my mum in the kitchen and finishing lost arguments in the shower 😅 Please come to Australia, Brett! We’d love to have you 😊
I played water polo in high school. They had a requirement that any game we would play our nails had to be cut as short as possible (to prevent people from cutting each other). For whatever reason the sentiment stuck and now any time i see my nails even a tad too long i cut them
My closet floor is home to three laundry baskets full of clean clothes that I refuse to fold or hang - the only exception being my work/dress clothes, which never get ironed but at least get hung up.
I like to count things a lot-stairs, ceiling tiles, light fixtures in stores, cracks in the sidewalk... In addition, sometimes I will take two random 3 digit numbers that I see on a license plate or shopping cart and multiply them in my head, then double check my answer on a calculator. So far, 100% correct. It's weird because I envision doing it long hand. Like the way they taught in school. I can actually see the paper and pencil in my head, not just the numbers. So while in reality I'm doing it mentally, I'm also properly working it out on paper that doesn't exist with a pencil that also doesn't exist.
On the same note of eating in order of taste, I can never just have a bite of vegetables, I need to also have a bite of whatever meat I'm eating too so the meat can vouch for the vegetables.
As a guy I don't fold it at all, I just have 5 clothes baskets in the closet on a shelf that I throw them in, one for shirts, one for sweaters, one for socks & underwear, one for shirts, one for pants..
The one I always think of/say is: "left, left, left right left. My pants are too big, my belt's too tight, my balls are swinging from left to right. Left, left, left right left" 😂💀
A habit that started when I first lived on my own, is to leave my work and casual clothes on the foot of my bed. I don't want to spend the 30 to 40 seconds that it would usually take to fold and put them away, and instead just leave them out. They get cleaned regularly, but usually they stay on the bed on the days that I don't have to work.
My wife has this thing where she rubs the silk on the edges of a blanket. She pinches it with her thumb and index finger and just keeps sliding it between her fringers. The blanket is totally shot and has massive holes in it and it's falling apart but she won't get rid of it because of the "silkies". 😬
@@crazychase98 I did! I bought her a brand new blanket with silk on the edges (all 4) and it took me forever to find it. She said it doesn't feel the same or something and doesn't use it. 😔
This was great Brett! Turns out, we have a few things in common...I bite the inside of my cheeks when thinking/nervous and will at times follow patterns on the floor by stepping certain ways. It's funny how mesmerizing it is 😂
Haha same 😅 Sometimes when I'm in the middle of an intense TH-cam comments section debate, I "practise" what I can say in response to the person in the shower, that's usually where I'm at my wittiest😂😂
@@abbiereynolds8016 Oh my goodness that’s exactly what I do!! I know exactly what liberals are going to say next. Usually along the lines of “You’re racist, “that’s racist”, “That’s sexist” or “That’s corrupt” 😂
I can't think very well unless I'm talking to myself. my friend actually thought I had multiple personalities bc, due to my brief acting career, my voice changes slightly every time I'm presenting a different argument to myself. think gollum from lotr in the real world
You are amazing. I love your laugh, and your expressions. Always make me laugh out loud. I’m addicted to this channel now, and just by chance stumbled upon one of your shorts last month.
When I was a kid, I used to separate M&M's by color and eat each color by themselves (because I was convinced that they all had slightly different tastes - since they dip each color separately).
I do the same with my cheeks and inner lip Brett! My husband keeps telling me to stop chewing my face. I've broken other habits over the years but this one is tough to break
I tend to count out my proportions to an even number, for example 12 blueberries. I also set my volume to an even number. I also tend to step left to right and will try to balance my steps so if I feel my left foot went further than my right I'll purposely struggle to balance my foot movement till I'm satisfied that I've evened things out.
I only eat one thing at a time. For example, I will eat all of my fries before I will eat the burger. My Mom was the one that pointed that out to me. I thought it was pretty normal.
Is it just with the example or is it with everything, because this how I eat as well. For me I was at a family gathering and someone noticed it and my mom piped up saying I have always done it that way.
@@chrisnosky8408 - Honestly it’s with everything. The only exceptions are foods that are already mixed. I also use sauce, so it’s not like I’m afraid my food will touch. I was at a chicken place yesterday, and I ate all the chicken first, then the sides. Lol. It didn’t seem weird until someone pointed it out.
Brett you should get a bathrobe. It’s amazing. I do the the same thing but with a bathrobe instead of just the towel it’s like a whole other experience
I wrote out all my childhood and current weird habits and it was way to long so I’m just gonna write my top three 1- counting objects in sets and patterns especially in painting or pictures 2- having to listen to TH-cam/ podcast/ audiobooks while working( I clean houses) or cleaning my own house. 3- reading signs, titles, names ect backwords and then front to back repeatedly. I’ve don’t entire short paragraphs.
I also relate to the cheek biting habit. My mouth feels chronically dry as I suck the moisture out of it constantly which brings the cheek flesh right up against my teeth. My wife also complains about me grinding in my sleep so got me a mouth guard recently. I haven't bitten my cheeks since 🤞
10:17 Lydia scares me! I love reading and have a decent library going now. One of my biggest pet peeves is getting a used book and the pages are bent, curled, the spine is broken, pages are written on or if there is a sticker on the cover. I mean I get absolutely furious! So people like Lydia, please don't touch my books.
My dentist actually commented on my cheek chewing once, she legit looked at me and went "looking for a daytime snack?" when i was confused she explained that she was talking about the cheek chewing and that it is a stress response
I definitely pick the skin around my nails and my lip skin but my biggest one is like the first one about talking to yourself but it’s more like talking the characters from my favorite books that are on rotation in my head “watching me” like a play. If I’m completely alone, I’ll say something that I would have said to my fiancé or a friend but to basically no one but also to book characters. Or if something happens I’ll look up like in The Office, but to where I picture the characters watching. I know that sounds crazy
Sometimes I pair songs together in my head, usually because I first heard them or added them to my playlist at the same time or something, and if I hear one of them, I absolutely must listen to the other. Sometimes there grouped in threes, and if I hear one, I need to play the other two.
When I clip my nails I leave a half mm of nail past the part where most people cut to. I can’t stand the feeling of too short nails. Then again I let my nails grow too long before clipping them as well.
I talk to myself ALL the time, and when people ask about it I always answer one of two ways; 1) Usually while working on a car (I'm a mechanic): Person: "Are you talking to yourself?" Me: "Yes... Sometimes I need expert advice" 2) Basically any other circumstance: Person: " Are you talking to yourself?" Me: "No, I'm talking to the voices in my head"
This is an amazing video 😂😂👏👏 my weird habit is if I hear an accent I automatically start talking like them 😂😂😂 and another one is I give everything a voice like a rock or a dog haha 😂👍
oddest habit of mine is straighten out bills, removing folded corners, making sure all are facing the same direction ... then folding them in half length wise to then turn around and use that fold to make sure none of the bills aren't flat.
I have a bit of an obsession with numbers divisible by 5. The volume on my TV, the amount of songs in my playlists, how many games I have in my console, etc. It all has to end in 0 or 5.
I literally fix everyone’s toilet paper 🧻 on the roll whenever I go to their house if the paper isn’t loaded the correct way according to the U.S. patent, which is over the top.
My weird habit is assigning genders to numbers/letters. Oddly enough 7 has a crush on 9 but 8 is between them and they can’t be together. 3 and 6 are siblings. 2 and 4 are best friends. Both male 3 and 9 and good friends. 3 is younger and 9 is older. This is weird 🤣
YES. When I was little I thought that the number 5 should be “male”, because the horizontal line at the top of the number reminded me visually of the top of a crew-cut (a traditionally “male” haircut). For some reason I thought that the number 2 seemed like it should be a girl. I thought I was the only person who did this 😂
Here's one I didn't think of until now. Instead of picking out my clothes when I get up in the morning or laying something out before I go to bed, I take the clothes I took of when I went to bed the night before and wear them. Then, when I take a shower, I'll change clothes and wear that for the rest of the day. Basically, unless I have something specific I have to wear for work or something, I change clothes when I take a shower instead of when I get up. I only wear the new clothes for a few hours after I shower, so they are still clean enough to use in the morning. There's less to do in the morning that way, and you also end up doing less laundry.
I get the arm tingle thing, it has to be on the inside of the forearm. That was one of my favorite things my mom would do when she was trying to get me to fall asleep. It’s such a lovely and calming feeling.
I relate totally to the biting the inside of your cheek and also my tongue lol all the way back In the 4th grade i used to get yelled at by teachers thinking I was chewing gum but I'd explain what I was doing they either gave me judgmental looks and said yea that's uhm weird or accused me of swallowing the gum in order to not get in trouble which didn't make a lot of sense to me because regardless I was still in trouble 😂
Doing laundry is such a chore for me sometimes. I usually just go through all my clean clothes while they're sitting in the hamper without ever putting them away.
still find it crazy everytime I find out Brett and I have something in common. abuse two songs for weeks, yep. Sleep like a restless animal, yep. Bite cheek, yep. Hate folding laundry, yep. dont get super excited in social situations, yep. Always thought I was weird for doing these things.
I know this video was over 9 months ago, but I just had to say this one. Whenever I'm in the shower I always find myself having my hands resting on the back part of my hips palms open, facing out, and elbows out like the Jim Carrey Grinch when he's overlooking whosville, or like a tall awkward featherless duck. I never consciously put myself in that position, but everytime when I eventually come to an awareness that I'm in that position it's too late and I can't not stand like that without feeling uncomfortable or weird. I never stand like that in any other circumstance ever, only the shower and I cannot tell you how, why or when that started happening, but it happens consistently without fail.
I do my best to avoid stepping on cracks or even lines on the floor... in my mind, it goes "dont step on a crack because you can fall and break your back," something I've done since a child.
I use my feet for everything, I inherited my mom’s “monkey feet” essentially we have long toes, I prefer to be barefoot for the sole reason of using my feet to pick up stuff, open doors, among other things
I collect lots of antiques, antique knick knacks, and stuff I find interesting.. I know a lot of people who would probably call my large collection junk and disorganized.. it looks like a museum to me and everything I have is older than 20 years old (most of it 50+ years old) and worth way more than $10 a piece if I was to sell any of it.. I been told I am weird because eveytime I am done with a plate/dish/cup I rinse it and put into dishwasher then run it when full (hang a washrag in dishwasher so I don't use a dirty one accidentally). I refuse to use public restrooms or at other peoples houses (unless it is an emergency).
Ok so far Brett, yep.. this would be me as well. I totally get it. Cocoon in bed in a warm towel after a shower ✔ Never finishing a drink of any kind ever ✔ Ketchup on scrambled eggs ✔ But the getting excited about doing something with friends and then second guessing it all 🤔...eh, not really. My introverted personality immediately cringes at the thought, so yeah, there's that.
You mentioned you need to find a new playlist. If you are interested in an old-school list, I suggest my three favorites: Renegade, September, & Dream On
I have what I like to call a “friction twitch”. If two surfaces are rubbing together in a strange way it’ll make my brain glitch (i.e. turning the tires on your car while sitting still). If it’s something I can change then I will. Please tell me there are others like this too so I can stop feeling like a weirdo 😂
The "nails on chalkboard" sound, or the sound of freezer items scratching against icicles on the freezer walks when someone takes out an item. Those sound will have me declare war to whoever produces them. 😄
You and I are opposites on laundry. I actually enjoy putting it away and getting it organized, but I find getting it into the washer and the dryer tedious.
15:00 I can't remember the name . . . what were those little plastic ring things? Like a cut up straw, just a little smaller diameter, but much much thicker? You'd set them out on a pre-sized platter, and then iron them together? There was a 1yr+ period of time in middle school where I was pretty much always chewing on one.
I don't know how to better explain it. I always do everything symmetrically. For example, if I hit a wall on with my left hand, I have to do it with the right,or if I put to much weight on one of my foot, I'll have to put the same amount of weight on the other. Yes, I'm a freak, and I'm proud of it.

My closet floor is home to three laundry baskets full of clean clothes that I refuse to fold or hang - the only exception being my work/dress clothes, which never get ironed but at least get hung up.
When in the shower, I'll make up math problems in my head then work them out. Dude, I'm such a nerd.
@Beastbombshell Yes we do
I do that too.. nice to know I'm not alone in my weirdness 😅
I like to count things a lot-stairs, ceiling tiles, light fixtures in stores, cracks in the sidewalk... In addition, sometimes I will take two random 3 digit numbers that I see on a license plate or shopping cart and multiply them in my head, then double check my answer on a calculator. So far, 100% correct. It's weird because I envision doing it long hand. Like the way they taught in school. I can actually see the paper and pencil in my head, not just the numbers. So while in reality I'm doing it mentally, I'm also properly working it out on paper that doesn't exist with a pencil that also doesn't exist.
I do the towel in bed thing too. I put the towel in the dryer for 15 minutes before the shower too so it’s warm and soothing.
I am convinced that Blu-ray players emit a signal that puts my mother to sleep.
For real though!
He ain’t wrong though I agree with us
On the same note of eating in order of taste, I can never just have a bite of vegetables, I need to also have a bite of whatever meat I'm eating too so the meat can vouch for the vegetables.
The meat HAS to vouch for the vegetables, that’s the standard 😂🙌🏽
@@aalihadesiree3932 potatoes can also do it in a pinch 😂😂
Amen brother
I hate folding laundry, so I do it immediately to get the suffering out of the way. I only started this within the last year.
As a guy I don't fold it at all, I just have 5 clothes baskets in the closet on a shelf that I throw them in, one for shirts, one for sweaters, one for socks & underwear, one for shirts, one for pants..
The one I always think of/say is:
"left, left, left right left.
My pants are too big, my belt's too tight, my balls are swinging from left to right.
Left, left, left right left"
😂💀
A habit that started when I first lived on my own, is to leave my work and casual clothes on the foot of my bed. I don't want to spend the 30 to 40 seconds that it would usually take to fold and put them away, and instead just leave them out.
They get cleaned regularly, but usually they stay on the bed on the days that I don't have to work.
My wife has this thing where she rubs the silk on the edges of a blanket. She pinches it with her thumb and index finger and just keeps sliding it between her fringers. The blanket is totally shot and has massive holes in it and it's falling apart but she won't get rid of it because of the "silkies". 😬
Get her a new thicker "silkies". Thats a women thing my sister does the same thing
@@crazychase98 I did! I bought her a brand new blanket with silk on the edges (all 4) and it took me forever to find it. She said it doesn't feel the same or something and doesn't use it. 😔
This was great Brett! Turns out, we have a few things in common...I bite the inside of my cheeks when thinking/nervous and will at times follow patterns on the floor by stepping certain ways. It's funny how mesmerizing it is 😂
Mine is I try to remember things about people in the room, how many windows, doors, clothing, cars, etc
Yo Brett.....
Fuck all dem folks slandering the ketchup-on-eggs eaters
I always count my steps up and down stairs and it has to be an even amount otherwise I get irritated for no sane reason.
OCD with numbers is pretty common.
I’m the same here with the shower arguments. You’ll find me mumbling in pure rage at my shampoo bottle after I’ve had an argument.
Haha same 😅
Sometimes when I'm in the middle of an intense TH-cam comments section debate, I "practise" what I can say in response to the person in the shower, that's usually where I'm at my wittiest😂😂
@@abbiereynolds8016 I practice vocalizing my verbal arguments during my showers aswell!
@@abbiereynolds8016 Oh my goodness that’s exactly what I do!! I know exactly what liberals are going to say next. Usually along the lines of “You’re racist, “that’s racist”, “That’s sexist” or “That’s corrupt” 😂
I can't think very well unless I'm talking to myself. my friend actually thought I had multiple personalities bc, due to my brief acting career, my voice changes slightly every time I'm presenting a different argument to myself. think gollum from lotr in the real world
I talk to myself aswell! I tell myself jokes that some of my personalities would find hilarious.
You are amazing. I love your laugh, and your expressions. Always make me laugh out loud. I’m addicted to this channel now, and just by chance stumbled upon one of your shorts last month.
When I was a kid, I used to separate M&M's by color and eat each color by themselves (because I was convinced that they all had slightly different tastes - since they dip each color separately).
A lot of relatable things being said here 😂.
I also do Brett's cheek habit! Good to know there are others.
Oh my god!!!! I get canker sores so much! I just bite and chew my lips and cheeks all the time. Thank God I’m not the only one.
I do the same with my cheeks and inner lip Brett! My husband keeps telling me to stop chewing my face. I've broken other habits over the years but this one is tough to break
I have to clean my teeth in the shower 😂
I tend to count out my proportions to an even number, for example 12 blueberries. I also set my volume to an even number. I also tend to step left to right and will try to balance my steps so if I feel my left foot went further than my right I'll purposely struggle to balance my foot movement till I'm satisfied that I've evened things out.
I only eat one thing at a time. For example, I will eat all of my fries before I will eat the burger. My Mom was the one that pointed that out to me. I thought it was pretty normal.
Since fries taste bad the longer they sit it just makes sense to eat them first. Maybe that logic is weird, I do it as well.
Is it just with the example or is it with everything, because this how I eat as well. For me I was at a family gathering and someone noticed it and my mom piped up saying I have always done it that way.
@@chrisnosky8408 - Honestly it’s with everything. The only exceptions are foods that are already mixed. I also use sauce, so it’s not like I’m afraid my food will touch. I was at a chicken place yesterday, and I ate all the chicken first, then the sides. Lol. It didn’t seem weird until someone pointed it out.
My husband does that too.
Same here Brett about music playing when doing something all the time.
Brett you should get a bathrobe. It’s amazing. I do the the same thing but with a bathrobe instead of just the towel it’s like a whole other experience
I'm actually watching this video in my bathrobe, and can also vouch how awesome they are.
I wrote out all my childhood and current weird habits and it was way to long so I’m just gonna write my top three
1- counting objects in sets and patterns especially in painting or pictures
2- having to listen to TH-cam/ podcast/ audiobooks while working( I clean houses) or cleaning my own house.
3- reading signs, titles, names ect backwords and then front to back repeatedly. I’ve don’t entire short paragraphs.
Lol. Now i have an image in my head of Bretts dad handing her a kindle and she breaks it in half. 🤣🤣🤣
yeah the towel burrito bed wrap is different. No worries. Keep your interesting quirks.
I also relate to the cheek biting habit. My mouth feels chronically dry as I suck the moisture out of it constantly which brings the cheek flesh right up against my teeth. My wife also complains about me grinding in my sleep so got me a mouth guard recently. I haven't bitten my cheeks since 🤞
10:17 Lydia scares me! I love reading and have a decent library going now. One of my biggest pet peeves is getting a used book and the pages are bent, curled, the spine is broken, pages are written on or if there is a sticker on the cover. I mean I get absolutely furious! So people like Lydia, please don't touch my books.
I thought her name was "Brett"
My dentist actually commented on my cheek chewing once, she legit looked at me and went "looking for a daytime snack?" when i was confused she explained that she was talking about the cheek chewing and that it is a stress response
I definitely pick the skin around my nails and my lip skin but my biggest one is like the first one about talking to yourself but it’s more like talking the characters from my favorite books that are on rotation in my head “watching me” like a play. If I’m completely alone, I’ll say something that I would have said to my fiancé or a friend but to basically no one but also to book characters. Or if something happens I’ll look up like in The Office, but to where I picture the characters watching. I know that sounds crazy
Sometimes I pair songs together in my head, usually because I first heard them or added them to my playlist at the same time or something, and if I hear one of them, I absolutely must listen to the other. Sometimes there grouped in threes, and if I hear one, I need to play the other two.
When I clip my nails I leave a half mm of nail past the part where most people cut to. I can’t stand the feeling of too short nails. Then again I let my nails grow too long before clipping them as well.
The cocoon thing is SOOO CUTE! 😍😍😍
The movie Scream still has me freaked out when a public bathroom is “empty”
I talk to myself ALL the time, and when people ask about it I always answer one of two ways;
1) Usually while working on a car (I'm a mechanic):
Person: "Are you talking to yourself?"
Me: "Yes... Sometimes I need expert advice"
2) Basically any other circumstance:
Person: " Are you talking to yourself?"
Me: "No, I'm talking to the voices in my head"
I call it precrastinating. Do most of a project then push the rest of till days before the due date.
Brett seems so chill
This is an amazing video 😂😂👏👏 my weird habit is if I hear an accent I automatically start talking like them 😂😂😂 and another one is I give everything a voice like a rock or a dog haha 😂👍
oddest habit of mine is straighten out bills, removing folded corners, making sure all are facing the same direction ... then folding them in half length wise to then turn around and use that fold to make sure none of the bills aren't flat.
Brett, I'm the same with my nails. I get acrylics done every 2 weeks so I don't bite or pick at them. I'm also not a germaphone.
I have a bit of an obsession with numbers divisible by 5. The volume on my TV, the amount of songs in my playlists, how many games I have in my console, etc. It all has to end in 0 or 5.
I literally fix everyone’s toilet paper 🧻 on the roll whenever I go to their house if the paper isn’t loaded the correct way according to the U.S. patent, which is over the top.
😂I'm sure I've pissed some people off too 👍
@@ScrappyXFL yep it drives me nuts if it’s in wrong.
Over the top is the hygienic way.
I do too! hahaha
Please explain why over the top is good, I have a cat, she'll unroll it every time. So I prefer the mullet position
The chorus to 'Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree' by the Andrews Sistets plays in my head EVERY TIME I eat an apple and continues until i finish it.
I had a friend that was 20 and he didn't know that the paper on cup cakes was meant to be removed, he would just eat the whole thing
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have never in my life fallen asleep during a movie. I'm 37. LOL
My weird habit is assigning genders to numbers/letters.
Oddly enough 7 has a crush on 9 but 8 is between them and they can’t be together.
3 and 6 are siblings.
2 and 4 are best friends. Both male
3 and 9 and good friends. 3 is younger and 9 is older.
This is weird 🤣
Wow, I had it to some extent when I was a kid.
ASSIGNING GENDERS? What if a number is trans? Are you misgendering a number? Lol
@@dinosaurtimeandfunnyvideos PLEEASEEEE 😩 I thought I was on Twitter for a sec 🤣
YES. When I was little I thought that the number 5 should be “male”, because the horizontal line at the top of the number reminded me visually of the top of a crew-cut (a traditionally “male” haircut). For some reason I thought that the number 2 seemed like it should be a girl.
I thought I was the only person who did this 😂
Did you even ask the numbers their preferred pronouns?! So not progressive!
I do the nail peeling thing too!
Here's one I didn't think of until now. Instead of picking out my clothes when I get up in the morning or laying something out before I go to bed, I take the clothes I took of when I went to bed the night before and wear them. Then, when I take a shower, I'll change clothes and wear that for the rest of the day. Basically, unless I have something specific I have to wear for work or something, I change clothes when I take a shower instead of when I get up. I only wear the new clothes for a few hours after I shower, so they are still clean enough to use in the morning. There's less to do in the morning that way, and you also end up doing less laundry.
I do the exact same thing. Wife thought it was weird at first, but she does it now too.
I get the arm tingle thing, it has to be on the inside of the forearm. That was one of my favorite things my mom would do when she was trying to get me to fall asleep. It’s such a lovely and calming feeling.
I relate totally to the biting the inside of your cheek and also my tongue lol all the way back In the 4th grade i used to get yelled at by teachers thinking I was chewing gum but I'd explain what I was doing they either gave me judgmental looks and said yea that's uhm weird or accused me of swallowing the gum in order to not get in trouble which didn't make a lot of sense to me because regardless I was still in trouble 😂
Doing laundry is such a chore for me sometimes. I usually just go through all my clean clothes while they're sitting in the hamper without ever putting them away.
Ketchup on eggs? Normal. I put ketchup on cottage cheese. It is amazing.
This person knows whats up.
still find it crazy everytime I find out Brett and I have something in common. abuse two songs for weeks, yep. Sleep like a restless animal, yep. Bite cheek, yep. Hate folding laundry, yep. dont get super excited in social situations, yep. Always thought I was weird for doing these things.
The actual weird habits are a secret 🤫
I know this video was over 9 months ago, but I just had to say this one. Whenever I'm in the shower I always find myself having my hands resting on the back part of my hips palms open, facing out, and elbows out like the Jim Carrey Grinch when he's overlooking whosville, or like a tall awkward featherless duck. I never consciously put myself in that position, but everytime when I eventually come to an awareness that I'm in that position it's too late and I can't not stand like that without feeling uncomfortable or weird. I never stand like that in any other circumstance ever, only the shower and I cannot tell you how, why or when that started happening, but it happens consistently without fail.
When she is a 10, but she puts ketchup on her eggs…. 🤢
I do my best to avoid stepping on cracks or even lines on the floor... in my mind, it goes "dont step on a crack because you can fall and break your back," something I've done since a child.
I use my feet for everything, I inherited my mom’s “monkey feet” essentially we have long toes, I prefer to be barefoot for the sole reason of using my feet to pick up stuff, open doors, among other things
I collect lots of antiques, antique knick knacks, and stuff I find interesting.. I know a lot of people who would probably call my large collection junk and disorganized.. it looks like a museum to me and everything I have is older than 20 years old (most of it 50+ years old) and worth way more than $10 a piece if I was to sell any of it..
I been told I am weird because eveytime I am done with a plate/dish/cup I rinse it and put into dishwasher then run it when full (hang a washrag in dishwasher so I don't use a dirty one accidentally).
I refuse to use public restrooms or at other peoples houses (unless it is an emergency).
Ok so far Brett, yep.. this would be me as well. I totally get it.
Cocoon in bed in a warm towel after a shower ✔
Never finishing a drink of any kind ever ✔
Ketchup on scrambled eggs ✔
But the getting excited about doing something with friends and then second guessing it all 🤔...eh, not really. My introverted personality immediately cringes at the thought, so yeah, there's that.
If you put ketchup on eggs you're definitely from the South
@@justinheardG95 Yep!
Same here lol if you know you know
Yeah I'm a complete introvert. A couple friends is one thing, but a group like she described... My mind immediately went to "why?" 😂
@@jatbatman haha *EXACTLY* 😄
I have to smell any book I read. About a quarter of the way in, then halfway and towards the end. This is also the case with newspapers.
Brett, we all LOVE YOU no matter what habits you have.🤗
Three songs for your rotation:
Phoenyx - March of Cambredth
Evanescence - Good Enough
Chris Dr Burgh - King Richard
I dated a 35 yr old guy who sucked his thumb at night. . .
You mentioned you need to find a new playlist. If you are interested in an old-school list, I suggest my three favorites: Renegade, September, & Dream On
I have what I like to call a “friction twitch”. If two surfaces are rubbing together in a strange way it’ll make my brain glitch (i.e. turning the tires on your car while sitting still). If it’s something I can change then I will. Please tell me there are others like this too so I can stop feeling like a weirdo 😂
The "nails on chalkboard" sound, or the sound of freezer items scratching against icicles on the freezer walks when someone takes out an item. Those sound will have me declare war to whoever produces them. 😄
You and I are opposites on laundry. I actually enjoy putting it away and getting it organized, but I find getting it into the washer and the dryer tedious.
I ALSO PUT KETCHUP ON MY SCRAMBLED EGGS FINALLY SOMEONE LIKE ME
Same
15:00 I can't remember the name . . . what were those little plastic ring things? Like a cut up straw, just a little smaller diameter, but much much thicker? You'd set them out on a pre-sized platter, and then iron them together? There was a 1yr+ period of time in middle school where I was pretty much always chewing on one.
Yep! I usually don't unload the dishwasher until I have to fill it again.
I don't know how to better explain it. I always do everything symmetrically. For example, if I hit a wall on with my left hand, I have to do it with the right,or if I put to much weight on one of my foot, I'll have to put the same amount of weight on the other. Yes, I'm a freak, and I'm proud of it.
The chewing on DVD cases just reminded me that I had a Strawberry Shortcake DVD that was SCENTED when I was little. Good times 😩
