Hey Pandas, What’s Something You Do That Makes Other People Raise Their Eyebrows?

I've told my daughter pretty much everything there was to know about me, my life, and my experiences. I've been told by lots of friends and family members that I tell her too much and that I'm her parent, not her friend. I feel as though it helps my daughter to understand me and my decision making process. I wish my parents had told me more about themselves and now that they've both passed away I'll never be able to find out what made them how they were. I hope that what I've shared with my daughter helps her in some way in her future endeavors.

I pick up random trash . . . a cup, a bag, a napkin, newspaper left behind. I like to think it could start a trend that others will do this . . . or someone will watch me and won't litter. So far, I've never run out of things to pick up . . .

I wear shorts all the time, even Winter; I get eczema on my calves and I find that keeping my calves unconstrained by fabric such as jeans etc, helps prevent my eczema coming back. However, I get weird looks and comments about why I'm wearing shorts in the freezing cold.

I wear Harley Quinn costumes to places like the doctor's office or store just because I want to.

I stick my finger in older men butts for money.
They sure raise their eyebrows.

Yes, I'm a urologist.

I microwave my ice cream.

I eat super-healthy and work out six days per week. People find it unbelievable that I don't eat junk. They offer me junk food and when I say no thank you they are astounded. But I enjoy being healthy and in great shape so I don't bow to pressure.

I legit made my cat cat-friendly tacos for his birthday
Everyone says I love my animals waaaaaaaaay too much. I agree with them tbh

I eat bagels plain. Don't toast it. No cream cheese. I just eat it. I still don't understand how this is a crime.

Memories: I remember being scared to go to sleep because Wee Willie Winkie was going to rap on my window at night (and I was on the second floor)!, and the Sandman was going to come into my bedroom and sprinkle sand into my eyes. I'm glad that (being Jewish) I didn't know that Santa saw me when I was sleeping. That might have pushed me over the edge.

I don't give my toddler chocolates or cheap junky treats. Where I live, it's completely acceptable to hand someone else's kid chocolates or cheap sweets without even asking the parents. I stop people from doing this, and they just don't understand why. It's like they think I'm a bad mom for NOT loading her with sugar.

To clarify, she does get " 'ssert" occasionally after meals, but it's usually something homemade or reasonable for kids.

I sometimes sing to songs i hear in public. I change the words to illustrate / narrate what I’m seeing or feeling. Can be fun, but also risky if too precise in my descriptions.

I love weird languages and specifically weird alphabets. I can read the following scripts (going from west to east): icelandic, saxon (runic and roman); various runic including pointed, halsinge and gothic; scandinavian characters; gothic proper (as in, dark-ages gothic); roman (obviously); greek; turkish; cyrillic: russian, bulgarian, ukrainian; and arabic. I'm trying to learn: japanese: hiragana, katakana, as well as: hebrew, amharic.

I'm Buddhist. I live in a small town, and most of the people r Christian, and it surprises them. "B-BUDDHIST???? ARE YOU SERIOUS???" yes, I'm serious 😶 it's actually a very nice religion ☺️

I eat pizza sideways, biting down the sides, or I'll take random bites of the crust. I'm not going to wait until I finish the rest of my slice to eat the crust! And eating the crust all at once is too dry.

I chew with my mouth open because I can't breathe through my nose sometimes. I know, it's disgusting, but I'll suffocate otherwise.

Mentioned this before in another thread, but there's a little bit more to it. I most often only get 1 single hiccup and I'm done. Very rarely do I get a full on episode like most people. However, when I do get one, I actual say "hiccup" when it happens. Or something very similar to the word.

If you watch me long enough, you'll likely see me start taping in some random pattern.

I'm imitating a piano.

It's a subconscious thing. I just do it without thinking about it, usually when I have nothing to do/waiting for something.

I can say the alphabet backwards with fluency.

Translating books from English to Spanish, only for fun.
