it has to be way I take QUICK notes... it's not my handwriting, but the way I take notes very quickly... it's like a mix of my own version of shorthand and 'doctor handwriting" and this is just how I take notes in real time as I hear, see, get info without missing details... my hand just keeps going and at the end of the day, even after days... it all makes sense to me, and only to me (and also to a friend of mine, since I know her since age 12, and she used to take my school notes almost every day, it took her a few weeks to get used to "my notes" but eventually, and out of habit... she managed to be able to decipher most of it as well)  and so, when people actually see me taking notes like these, they're like "what the hell is all that... and how does that make any sense" and then I just say that, lol "it does make sense to me" and nowadays, it puzzles people even more... "why don't you just take pictures... why don't you just record audio and video" "WHO THE HELL CARRIES INK & PAPER!!" well, I do... because, this is my habit, this is my process... and when I do take notes like this, I am not only taking the notes, but also making plans, writing down ideas... and organizing stuff in a way in which I can do it better on the go, so I better write it down asap... many times I don't even write it all down, but I put and use clues... that will REMIND ME of the idea, or thought... lmao so, hey... if it works, then it works... and it has always worked very well for me, lol

When I wash dishes, I usually place all of them on one table and only rinse and put them away once I'm done washing all of them. Everyone else I know always washes one, rinses one, puts away one. And then repeat. I dunno why I do it the other way, maybe to save water or something.

I'm not even kidding, I have this habit to scan interfaces for active buttons and controls. There's one new control introduced by g@g months ago or something, as shown below:

When it was introduced, this control was much more visible, it was blue and shiny when active and grey when inactive. But then, later on, web developers made it entirely grey, even in active state... So now it's barely noticeable.

That's my story, and the story of a button, as well as a lesson about shady design 😏

Zack-Bann · Answer

Mine would be: hopping on here to ask and answer questions.
Most people I know don’t understand why I even bother

But when I get to hear from you on every blue moon it makes perfect sense to me 😉

And just as the others said, you need to tick off the box that says “rewrite my question” or something to that effect.
So that the AI doesn’t turn the human touch into sanitized slop.

Stock trading.

Everyone thinks i'm gambling. And on some level it is. But when you think about it everything you do in life is a gamble. It's only the odds. And assumption is that only a select few people in "the know" can make money doing it. And if you asked me years ago i'd have said the same thing. But i've learned a bit since then. Where people fail is they get greedy. To quote Warren Buffet, "more people aren't rich because nobody wants to get rich slowly". I view it like this. Could you use an extra 50k to 75k a year? Then all you really need is 10k to make that happen, and 20 years. My goals are modest i aim for a 7% return annually. but over the years i've managed triple that. Still you ask most people and to them a 20% return still isn't enough for them. It's too slow. And that is why they fail.

I like to talk 😈😋 and to have faith

And I like to enjoy life and to live 🤭 just not recklessly as others do or hard and fast. That's no way to live. Neither does living in a burrow. Neither does skydiving either.

I just lead a normal life. Even if in my own way, @Abbycado my own type of boring life. Lol.

KostasKouvalis · Answer

I'm trying to think of a good current one. But when I was little, at fast food places I would order a cheese burger with no patty🤣 In my 6th grade class I just told them I'm scared of Mad Cow Disease😂

I don't know what else to put. I have a BUNCH. It's mostly just having different ways of doing everyday tasks. But some of them aren't common tasks, and others are too embarassing to say. So I'll just stick with the burger thing.😂
