Things that you do that you're not sure why you do them

'er indoors recently told me to start putting flaxseed on my cereal in the morning. Ok, fine. Don’t know why, would take seconds to Google and find out, but I don’t care.

(this is how people get poisoned by their partners, isn’t it. If I die mysteriously, check the flaxseed)

Come in here to post ‘post on DiS’, even though I’ve seen that laelfy has replied and am 90% certain that’s what she’ll have put.

Not sure why I do most things tbh. Why am I even posting this?

Pace around the house when waiting for water to boil, when I’m on the phone, when brushing my teeth, etc

Loads of times I’ve thought “if I’d asked for help like two months ago, i wouldn’t be in this situation where it would look really mad to suddenly be asking for help”

Really stupid stuff like that

Shake bags of crisps/crisp-type snacks. I’m not at all convinced it makes any difference to most crisps. They also must be opened the right way up to avoid bad luck even though, obviously, crisp packets do not affect luck

Still, better safe than sorry eh

Yeah I like to think I’ve banished most vestiges of superstition from my life (I can have the TV volume at any number I like!), but still would never countenance opening a bag of crips at the bottom.

if a packet of pretty much anything has a clear top and bottom then you have to open it at the top otherwise it’s just wrong

(I’m sure there are legitimate exceptions but I can’t think of any off the top of my head)

Bananas

bananas don’t come in packets

The skin is a kind of packet. If you think about it.

Tap cans before opening them.

Go on the Guardian website all the time. Nearly never read owt, but I load it up a few times a day and scroll a bit and then close it and all that’s happened is I’ve wasted about 2 mins.

Think that’s why I do a lot of things, just to mindlessly kill a few minutes.
