I just remembered another weird (?) thing that I do: when I'm sick, I eat those Strepsils like their candy (I can eat about 6 of them a day... is it possible to overdose in Strepsils?)

I do the same with butter menthol. I have no clue why, but I treat them nearly like candy. (It's also the only thing that helps me when I'm sick- I can't swallow tablets!)
Definitely not overdosing though- according to the Strepsils site, they recommend a maximum of 8 in a 24h period. :)

I also like looking at random pharmaceutical products to see what's so good about them. :')

Not gonna lie, I do this as well aha. The strawberry ones taste the best!
As for overdosing on strepsils... don't think it's possible seeing that it's a weak medicine?
(I may work at a pharmacy but I don't know anything about medicines)
Which will hold greater rule over you? Your fear or your curiosity?

Haha I do the same with other butter menthol brands. Like, with Strepsils, I eat them because whenever my throat feels slightly tingly then I eat a whole bunch of them- not a huge fan of the taste. Butter menthol, on the other hand, taste amazing! I would eat them even if I wasn't sick lol.

But yeah, it's great to know I can't really overdose on Strepsils (unless if I would get really desperate and end up finishing one of packet of them in one day).

You people are so weird.  ::)

Does anyone else like eating straight lemons/spoonfuls of Vegemite when they get bored?
Or sniffing Tabasco, that one's good.

I do magic tricks in front of my dog and love the look of confusion on his face as I make his treats disappear.

Oh yeah, and playing the flute with my nose.
Cruelty to animals...? I play the flute and I didn't even know it was possible to play with your nose. How? Please enlighten me.

Oh, I also watched the entire series of Big Brother 2004 and Big Brother 2005 in a strange time of my life late last year/early this year.

Beat that.
Big Brother is watching you, too.

Beat that!


For me the weird things I do are whistle incessantly through my teeth and have long Pokemon discussions with one of my friends, even though I don't know too much about Pokemon. I also love to play with money. I mean, not just spend money, but I love fiddling with coins and notes for long periods of time.

I'm not exactly sure how to explain it... but you kind of turn the head slightly inwards and just 'blow' ;D The sound is pretty crappy though haha. It's a cool trick to do for school talent shows  8)
Oooh, I can do that! Ever played a recorder duet through your nose? :D


I almost constantly play with my hair.
You seem to enjoy it, too. I'd play with my hair all the time if I had your hair :)

I never stop wiggling my feet. When I'm lying down I rub them together. When I sit with my feet on the chair I wiggle them or tap them with my fingers. When I'm standing I bend them inside my shoes. Man, my toes gotta be buff with all this exercise.

I actually think it's thinning because I keep pulling it out!

Nah, you're just getting old. Those grey eyebrow hairs should've been an indicator.

That'd explain the stiff joints!
