This question is trending after someone asked it on Reddit, and it’s amazing how common some of these are . . .
Do you have any weird rules you made up for yourself when you were younger that you still follow? It can be for a good reason, or no reason at all. But YOU decided it was a personal rule. No one made you do it.
1. If you need to retie one shoelace, you must retie the other one. If you don’t, you’ll end up with one shoe that feels too tight, and one that’s too loose.
2. Each armpit gets the same number of deodorant swipes. If you do six swipes on your left pit, your right one also gets six swipes. (I think some of these are just people with mild O.C.D.)
3. When you meet someone, you can’t swear in front of them until they swear in front of you. But once they swear, go wild.
4. If you wake up in the middle of the night, you’re not allowed to look at the time. If you know what time it is, you’ll get anxious and won’t fall back asleep.
5. When you’re eating, save a bite of your favorite thing for last. Like maybe that last bite of mashed potatoes just to finish on a high note.
6. Never use a fake excuse like, “I can’t go, my grandma is sick.” Because if she DOES get sick, you’ll feel like you caused it.
7. This one’s nice: “If I find a penny on the ground but it’s not heads up, I TURN it heads up so the next person can have a little luck.”
8. You can’t brag about a random act of kindness. If you tell someone about it, it cancels out the good karma.
9. Never take the top paper plate or cup from a stack, you have no idea what hands touched it. Take one from the middle.
10. Wet toothbrush, apply toothpaste, wet toothbrush again, commence with brushing.
