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.

When I'm playing live 1-2NL and someone announces a raise to 7, I can't not say "7A" (usually under my breath)

It's from the beginning of Day Dream Believer by the Monkees

I suffer from involuntary reading. I have read some sentences a hundred times just because they happen to be in front of me where I can see them.

Every time I leave the house, I can't not check everything repeatedly. I have OCD and it is pretty much all safety stuff, did I lock the windows, doors, etc. I check everything 3 times too, like the third time is magical or something.

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

yeah, I dunno. I thought it was great back in 98 as well, but back then I was a pathetic guy who had ZERO experience with women, and the internet wasnt fast enough for quality porn, so airbrushed magazine pics still gave me full on robot chubby. I dunno if the magazine sucking now is a product of the fact Im way older and am no longer pathetic and thanks to the wonderful world of gonzo amateur porn I no longer find fake magazine spreads a turn on, or if its because the "mens magazine" is no longer fresh and exciting and its the same played out stupid watered down crap in every issue now. I guess its prolly a bit of both.

advertising rates for magazines are tied to subscription numbers so many magazines will give away or offer very cheap subscription deals.

I can't not count sounds. For example how many times someone fires a gun (in a movie). Obviously this is only for semi-automatics.

It's especially funny given that many of the things itt are far more annoying than nitty stuff mentioned in "things people do that annoy you" threads.

I can't not set my alarms for times ending in 1, 2, 3 or 4. If it's a time ending in 0 or 5, I won't use it for my alarm. I don't know why. :/

It just kind of happens in the background. Not a distraction at all.

I had a hard time coming up with something I ALWAYS do, but finally noticed one today. When I pour myself a tall glass of ice water, sometimes the ice gets stuck on the bottom of the glass. I always tap the side of the glass on the counter to jostle the ice loose so it floats to the top.

It's the exact opposite for me. I only use a time ending in 0 or 5 for my alarm.
However, the volume of my TV has to be set on a number with identical digits, like 33, 44, etc. Otherwise I feel very uncomfortable while watching TV.

Also, I can't fall asleep when I know that a drawer or cabinet door in my room is open or when my stuff (watch, mobile phone, ...) isn't in its usual place.

When I hear someone's phone ring, I can't not say "Phone is ringing... Oh My God"

When someone min-bets preflop, then shoves the flop or open-limps, checks every street, then shoves the river, I can't not say "uh duuuurrrrrrrrrrr" in the chat box.

I've got other, but I can't not not remember them right now.
