I've come across a few things I can't not do lately, and it seems other people may have some interesting/funny ones as well. So basically:

Whenever I _______, I can't not _______.


Here's my first couple, but this can apply to almost any facet of your life, so don't feel restricted.

Whenever I am in the act of chopping broccoli, I can't not sing Chopping Broccoli.
The link is the exact part I sing and I definitely can't not sing it.



Whenever I hear or see the name Chi Chi Rodriguez, I can't not say Chy Chy RODriguez like Les Nessman on WKRP.

popping zits. As soon as I find one, I'm pretty much obsessed with popping it and usually cant make it more than five minutes without finding a mirror to do it.

Whenever I have 3+ beers, I can't not have a cigarette.


I could really, but I don't.

I have controlled it myself but there are still a lot of people who just help themselves from saying 'that's what she said' when an opening presents itself.

Many can't not say it, even when it isn't appropriate.

I think at that point, it just hits another gear of funny.

Whenever I go to bed I can't not keep myself from counting to 100 or coming up with 3 sentences where the syllables = 10.

Yea, I have problems.

For some weird reason I have this fascination with names where I love saying people's full names out loud for no reason.

I know this is OOT but whenever I watch HSP I cannot not say "Tom durrrr Dwan", "Eli Elezra", "Bavid Degenyamine", etc. when the camera is on these guys and they're making a decision. No idea why.

EDIT: It's not every player's name, just a few.

I think I've mentioned this in the past...if I'm on the freeway, and come up to a mileage sign with three values on it, I'll stick coefficients on the first two fractions such that when you add them you'll come up with the third one.

I started doing this whenever it was in elementary school that we learned fractions/multiplying fractions, and 35 years or whatever later, I still do it.

Whenever someone uses a double negative, I cant not point it out

Whenever I hear a shane company commercial, I HAVE to change the station.

If I have a fingernail long enough to bit off, I have to do it the second I see it.

I cant not pronounce Socrates as "soh crates"

Whenever I see kobe bryant I cant not make a comment about how hes a rapist and how I hate the ****ing lakers.

im pretty sure i cant go an entire session at my biweekly "friendly" poker game without asking if i can smoke in the house. even though i know there isn't a chance in hell he will ever say yes. its like a nervous joke habit that somehow seems like a good idea to me everytime. in fact, i'm sure that many of my jokes at poker games get told constantly over and over each week.

when i was a kid i had a hell of a time learning my right from my left but then i picked up some pretty wicked and distinctive scars on both wrists from putting my hands through a glass door when i was 6 or so. i started using the scars to differentiate right from left. even though i know which is which now i still reflexively look down at my wrists if someone says "to your left/right" or something similar.

Whenever I see a random number I tend to mentally break it down into its prime factors.

Whenever I hear a British person pronounce schedule as skedule my mind screams shedule.

Similar to this, I started mentally pronouncing words backwards that I read on signs, cars, etc., in elementary school and still do it. There are a few that are just reflexive--"Telorvehc" and "Deeps Timil" come to mind. It's irritating as **** but I can't not do it.

Check the door to my shop three or more times before I leave. I know it's locked, I just want to make sure it's going to hold.

I can't leave X-acto knives with the blade out. If I pass one I have to retract the blade.

I can't not read a magazine I got a subscription to despite it being horrible and reading it makes me feel dumber for doing so. I also must read the newspaper in a certain way which sometimes leads to reading the exact same word for word story twice in two different papers owned by the same publisher and also leads to a wealth of useless knowledge since I have to read every article even crap I have no interest in like the bird watching report and women's interest / fashion stories.
