I used to have a friend that didnt like small talk with people she didnt know well. I never understood it and it took me a while to notice but, if she was at work and someone - just an acquaintance - mentioned the weather or asked how her day was, she would completely ignore them. At first, I thought she was being rude but for some reason, her brain tunes it right out if she wasnt familiar with the speaker. I still dont understand it but she still does it.
I actually have a lot of things I do that other people dont understand but the one Ive found that grosses people out iiissss:
I drink pickle juice or pepper juice right out of the jar.
Lots of people like pickles. My favorite is Claussen. I ate a whole jar in one day and have been drinking the juice over the course of the last few days. When I buy pepperoncini peppers, I eat the peppers then mince fresh garlic and let it sit for a few days, then, I drink the juice.
I dont know why I do it - maybe something inside of me craves it or I'm just hardwired to finish everything - but I do know that I get freaked out when someone throws it out before I've finished it.
So - there it is. Not as bad as you might imagine but it is something I've always kept hidden.
