Take off my glasses to eat. I just noticed recently that many of my fellow glasses wearers keep theirs on while eating. It just feels uncomfortable to me.

If you would just slow down a bit you wouldn't get food splattered on your glasses.

I have to take my glasses off when I blow my nose.

I do this because I very frequently read while I eat and always take my glasses off to read

Now even if I'm not reading, like if I'm eating with others, it feels wrong to leave them on

Same. I've started forcing odds on myself to try and break the habit. Prime numbers still irritate me too much, though. One step at a time!

Another one: If there's a vegetable I don't like, I explore all manner of recipe until I find something I can work with. Then I eat it 'til I like it. VEGETABLES WILL NOT DEFEAT ME.

Current project is beets, which I can stand in a vinegar-based coleslaw. Otherwise they taste like a very rich, fresh dirt.

Have you tried making borscht? Beets also pair really nicely with goat cheese.

I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.

Ooh, good point. I guess I didn't think of that because most pickled beets I've had are the gross sweet kind. But a vinegar brine with savory spices sounds fantastic.

I once had a drunk/high conversation with a guy at a barbecue about weird social tiks and poo poo we feel obliged to do, stuff like saying bless you when someone sneezed and how basically you're just acknowledging the sneeze because saying nothing feels weirder.

So as a sort of joke I started just saying "You sneezed." dead pan, when someone in my presence did so. Friends, house/work mates, etc all got on board and it became a thing. Eventually met my now wife and got her doing it.

It's been nearly 2 decades and it's so natural now I say it to the uninitiated like strangers without thinking.

Sometimes I quickly apolo-splain but more often than not I just carry on like it's normal and leave them confused.

Because I am crazy, I've also been deliberately doing things left handed in order to improve my ambidextrousness, for basketball reasons. Since I was 14 or 15.

Like I've made myself ambidextrous through brute force, decades ago. I brush my teeth left handed. I can use chop sticks left handed. I am most certainly not left handed.

The one thing I do left handed is punish my hog. Computer mice are impossible using your left hand.

i simply say excuse me when i sneeze, and sometimes "you're excused" to other sneezers. "you sneezed" is pretty funny tho

I have a sneezing problem and I always just feel awkward when people say 'bless you' and whatnot, especially since I tend to keep sneezing after they've said it.

I have bad seasonal allergies that cause sneezing fits. I had a coworker that insisted on saying “bless you” after each and every sneeze except she would raise her voice and sound more and more surprised/alarmed after each one. Like she was talking to a baby. Got old quick.

A man whose blood
Is very snow-broth;
One who never feels
The wanton stings and
Motions of the sense



After I get back from a great trip to another country the next time I take a big poo poo I feel like the trip is officially over and the last of that country has sadly left me. My guts are now full of USA once again.

I just pooped out the last of Portugal 🇵🇹

I believe that's called "The Stranger"

I can dual use mice by the way, at the same time.

I like "you sneezed".

I used to say "god bless you and save you and keep you from all harm and evil until the world ends and we ascend to the glorious kingdom of heaven, amen" but now I'm back to the dumb and arbitrary classic.
