A friend gasped in sheer astonishment when I told her one of my traits which she considered inappropriate or unethical. Well, maybe inappropriate in a work environment.
Nevertheless, here are some really stupid things I end up doing impulsively. At least the ones that I can remember right away:
- When I walk on the road that doesn’t have a pedestrian pavement, I inadvertently move further and further toward the left as I walk along, for fear of being knocked down by a
truckmotorcycle. - If I doze off with a book in my hand, my fingers would involuntarily clutch the edges of the book so as to mark the page I am reading. I know what you’re thinking. Use a bookmark? But I said “doze-off”, didn’t I? So what good is a bookmark by my bedside?!?
- I save the best food for the last. Don’t get what I’m saying? Think about the last time you saved that black forest cake, or a last potato chip for the end of the meal? Yep, I do that too!
- After I kill the engine in my car, I continue to press my foot on the brake while I’m digging into my bag, or taking things out before I get out of the vehicle. I don’t know why I do it, but I know quite a lot of women who do the same thing.
- And oh, if you didn’t know already, of course I talk (smile, laugh, giggle) to myself. Hell, I dance in front of the mirror. And don’t you tell me that you don’t. I know quiet well that you do too. :)
Anything unique (or uniquely stupid) that you do in front of the mirror? Or anything just plain stupid that you do? :)

I do lotsa stuff in front of the mirror or otherwise; dance, make faces (good job, aditi! ;-)), do a fashion parade... you get the drift!
okie.. i make faces, press zits,blackheads, check out my eye bags and pretend they're make-up for my next movie act! and there's this one thing i do for many many years, i draw with my hands, while walking,while sitting.. sheesh, its like, you can see my fingers moving.. hahaha
In front of the mirror I dont have to do anything unique...
My face is stupid as is :)
can think of one thing right away -i read your blog :P
Aditi, SuperN, and Idah,
Good for you. But I thought you'd come up with the deep dark secrets ;)
ORACLE,
So make faces, then it would be unique? :P
DHARMA,
Reading my blog is stupid? That's the meanest thing I've heard! :-/
Yes, of course I dance in front of the mirror! And talk to myself. And usually save some good bits of food til the end. Maybe it's something primal we all have in us.
i use to check my fat ass, see how big my tummy is, dance, laugh, make faces and read infront of the mirror (esp if i hv to do a presentation infront of a large audience) since i got nora i also like to check out my ugly looking worm like scar where Nora was pushed out in November 2005! Its horrendous i tell u and to think i'll be cut again on the same spot is very excrutiating! (IF we decide to hv a second child that is) aarrgghh! the mirror is indeed a fascinating play thing for both the old and young - the sane and the INsane - hehehehhe
@ g3, can't control myself... :) I am already smiling, laughing and giggling :)
neat gay...very neat,i do the car thingy tooo
DevilM,
Umm, maybe. But I was expecting some unusual things to get poured in! :)
MUSH,
Of course you should have another lil one. You don't want to deprive lil Nora of her sibling(s), do you? ;) Good list there Mush, Yep, the mirror sure is a play thing! :)
CM,
You are? In front of the mirror?
But come to think of it, I can already think of a zillion silly things you do! :D
DEEPTHI,
Make a conscious effort not to. I'm trying my best back here too. We're only exerting that extra pain on our feet you know. :-/
