'When putting on a bra, I’ve always clasped it in the front and then twisted it around and pulled it up. I only recently learned that a lot of people simply put it on and clasp it in the back without looking.'
,"What’s something you’ve done your whole life, only to realize recently that everyone else does it completely differently?""I remember being shocked that some people face the water in the shower. Watching my ex-boyfriend lean forward into the water and let the shampoo run all down his face felt so wrong.
Of course, I do turn into the water to wash my face and stuff, but the natural position is to have it hitting my back and leaning my head backward to rinse the shampoo." "When putting on a bra, I’ve always clasped it in the front and then twisted it around and pulled it up. I only recently learned that a lot of people simply put it on and clasp it in the back without looking." "When going up or down the stairs, I always look at my feet. I just realized recently that not many people do this." "I whistle by sucking air in. I didn't realize it was strange until I was a teen. Now I can whistle both ways, so I can essentially whistle forever because I can breathe at the same time." "When I lay on my side, I put the opposite hand in the air and just hold it there for a while. It's oddly satisfying." "I drink from bottles/straws only through the corners of my mouth. My front teeth have always been particularly sensitive, so I avoid them having to touch liquids head-on." "A nurse handed me a little cup with two pills and a little cup of water. I took my pills, and she started laughing. She said something to the effect of, 'I've heard people do that, but I've never seen it before!' She was astonished. I had put a little bit of water in my mouth, then the pills, then swallowed. I've always sipped some water first. That way, the pills don't stick to my tongue, and I don't taste them." "My dad uses food utensils more like a full hand grip shovel instead of the thumb over between index and middle finger. He does it mostly due to hand and elbow surgeries making it difficult to turn his wrist. In high school, someone finally asked why I use a fork like that and prefaced it with, 'I've been wanting to ask you this for years.' So I learned how to use silverware properly at 17." "Rolling up fitted sheets to put them away after laundering. Apparently, a fairly large population has a secret, yet complicated, method of actually folding them to put them away. I hide the roll within the folded top sheet, which I thought was brilliant." "I thought everyone dried their hands by shaking them like a raccoon that just touched something cursed. Apparently, most people just use towels." "I need to blow my nose every time after I sneeze. It does not matter if I have a cold or am completely healthy; two minutes after I sneeze, my nose is full and needs to be blown. I thought it was the same for everyone, but after I mentioned how annoying that was to a friend, he said he had never experienced the same. I then asked around, and apparently I am the only one in my group of friends who has this issue." "It took me way too long to realize I was using toilet seat covers incorrectly. I used to tear out the center flap and lay the cover on the seat in a U shape, but the flap is actually meant to hang down into the bowl at the front." "I’ve learned not everyone washes dishes with hot water. It has to be scalding hot — damn near burning my skin — for me to feel that the dishes are clean." "After taking a bite of a cookie, I lick the edge to keep crumbs from dropping. A friend once laughed and questioned my sanity after witnessing this." "I always throw the little plastic detergent cup in the washing machine with the clothes so it comes out nice and clean and ready to use again. I used to think everyone did this, but I've received many surprised comments over the years. I give my mom credit for putting me on to this as a kid." Washing new clothes before wearing them for the first time. Some people put them right on or into the closet." "After I brush my teeth, it takes me a ton of little spits to get it all out of my mouth. Everyone else I've ever seen brush their teeth somehow just gets it all out in one big go??? It flabbergasts me every time. I am physically incapable of doing that." "When I'm blocking my ears with my fingers, I fold my ear lobe up and use that. I thought everyone did this, but apparently people just put their fingers in their ears." And finally,"I’ve always assumed everyone overthinks everything the way I do. Finding out that some people are just calm was shocking."What"normal" thing have you done your whole life that everyone else apparently does completely differently?
