yup

i am also a big emergency parking brake guy. i rarely don't set it

Ha, i do that a lot of the time too.

BE-A-UTIFUL for me.

whenever someone says that, i have to say

"I DONT' LIKE THE SOUNDS OF THEM APPLES WILL, WHAT DO WE DO?"

fyp

I always count the number of stairs on a flight and remember them at all times. I know it's 24 at the office (12 and 12), 24 to the warehouse (14 and 10), 16 to the second floor at my house (3 and 10 and 3), 3 at my parents, 14 at my in-laws, 5 at my grandma's, etc.

I must have fallen down the last couple once as a kid and forever more counted in my head as I ascended and descended.

I hate those people who can't not say "The sky" after I greet them with "What's up?"

Apparently you're not too familiar with Maxim.

I've got some really bizarre OCD tendencies that I typed out in full but some of them are pretty ****in out there so here's some milder ones -

when I lock my car, even if I KNOW it's locked, I gotta hit the lock button again and hear the sound again

every time I see a multi-digit number I have to add them up to see if they equal 24 or are divisible in anyway to that number (no idea how this even started)

when someone pisses me off or irritates me in some way I have to touch my little finger to my thumb over and over, no joke it calms me down

always brush my teeth twice

i save every frickin file, webpage, or anything I find even mildly interesting that I will NEVER look at again. I've tried to stop doing this but I can't.

"that's what she said" - it's like holding in a sneeze

every time someone asks me what time it is I say "Time to get a watch" even though I know it's not funny and has never even got a chuckle or even a grin

and a million tiny work things that I HAVE to do a certain way

i'll bet you say "i'm your huckleberry" from time to time

My dad has one that I used to get a lot of lols out of - he can't not put the receipt in his grocery bag. I always used to snatch the bag as soon as the groceries were put in and walk away while he paid, only to have him literally running to catch up to me to put the receipt in the bag. I'm sure we looked crazy.

I can't walk away from any computer I am working on without closing all the windows I'm using. I thought this was super standard, but my wife leaves all kinds of word docs and web pages and stuff open and it super irritates me.

hahah, the funny thing is I was like "I wonder if hes talking about maxim" then I was like "naw, Henry wouldnt voluntarily get a subscription to something thats obviously terrible from a glance"

Seems hard to do.

If the volume on anything I control has a digital reading, I have to set it to an even number instead of an odd. I officially knew that I couldn't not do it when a friend in my car bumped the volume, making it look like an accident, and then cracked up when I "corrected" it within two seconds.

Clearly he was casually acquainted with somebody who was going to be on the cover, and she mentioned it one night to the gang while they were out doing Jaeger bombs, and he immediately signed up for a three year subscription to avoid awkwardness.

Not so much now, but for many years whenever I heard Sweet Home Alabama, I couldn't not turn it up.

Nowadays I just do the token turn it up every now and then.

I haven't looked at a Maxim since I was in my early twenties (so well over ten years) but I don't remember it being that bad although it has likely gotten worse over time. No matter how bad it gets though UMM is worse. The horrible thing is that the subscription won't end. I got the subscription in 2001 and have never renewed it but they just keep coming.

Are you getting auto-renewed somewhere? Does the Ministry of Periodical Distribution give everybody a free lifetime subscrip? Cooks' Illustrated, pls.

I have to hit Esc every time I see AKSpartan posting in a thread to see what I get.

Spikey shell this time

You should pay the mailman not to put it in your box. (seriously, its +EV if you actually cant stop from reading it).


My roomate for no reason just started getting maxim, he prolly got like 15 of them before they suddenly just stopped coming. Same thing happened to me and "details". I figured it was just a marketing ploy, send out your terribad magazine to some people you know fit your demographic and hope they have an IQ low enough to enjoy it and will want to buy it when they suddenly stop showing up. That or they can add you to the number of "subscribers" when they are trying to persuade companies to advertise with them.

There is no way to auto-renew. I figure they just desperately need to keep up the subscription numbers in hopes of one day attracting advertisers. 80% of the ads are for bars / clubs owned by the person who owns the magazine.

I'm moving so that will put an end to it. The sad thing is there was a Canadian men's magazine called Toro that was actually pretty good and it failed yet this thing is still going.

I can't sit in any ergonomically correct fashion. I either lean back, cross my legs, tuck a leg under me, or slouch in some way. I simply can not sit "properly" for more than a few seconds.

I can't not poke my children in the tummy. Apparently I think I've fathered two Pillsbury Doughchildren.

when i see this guy in anything, i cant help but think vern schillinger, and how vern would react to anything that occurs to the other character. for instance, paulie bleaker would have been totally dead in juno.

I remember I started getting Maxim freshman year in college in 1998. I would tape the pictures to my door. I think it was the first year I ever saw body paint on Heidi Klum. I thought the magazine was pretty good back then.

It's really that bad now? I guess there's only so many things they can repeat before it gets annoying.
