things most people do but you don't?

Maybe I should go on.
I collect VHS tapes, which is, to say, a very strange hobby, but then again I could be smoking synthetic weed or snorting coke.

I really love old school rap, and not just the 90s shit everyone will rock, but some more obscure 80s shit, namely EPMD (it sounds very strange to me, but very few people I've met know who EPMD is, even considering You Gots to Chill)

To expand on my earlier TF2 statement, I'm not really into modern popular games, nor am I really into the super popular Nintendo shit honestly. Most of my nostalgia lies with a few PlayStation 2 games, ironically enough.

I get a lot of enjoyment from posting things at 60fps that no one else has really done, which ties into my VHS collection.

I don't do clickbait thumbnails on my YouTube channel, even when I could. I don't see a point in it, like at all.

dont eat during the day - i only eat once i come home from work

dont exercise - well duh 

am not able to initiate conversation / relationships with poeple - i mean honest ones. i can do it amazingly when i look at it like a game but thats not me.

i dont go to bed when im tired - only once its "late enough"

i dont buy the most popular name brands for anything - i have my favourite name brands but they are never the ones everyone has

 - and this is probably the biggest / weirdest one i cant explain

 - tv is sony not samsung like everyone elses

 - phone is lg not apple or samsung like everyone elses

 - car is peugeot not audi or vw like everyone elses in my circle of friends/family/people i know

 - furniture isnt ikea (or anything else for that matter) - i tend to build / at least modify my furniture myself so i end up with something noone else has

 - and so on...and i cant explain it

 - its not becasue i wanna be oh so unique its just that i dont like what most people like partly because most people like it and i dont like most peolpe

Each other, so when I have friends over, we can sit down and discuss things face to face.

Or, I can point it (the furniture, not the friends) towards the fireplace.

x2 on radium angel, I don't even have a TV

phone is sony ericsson and like 10 yrs old by now, won't change it since it does what I need it to do which is calls and texts

FIAT car but I rarely use it since there's a bus that takes me to the city where my uni and workplace are, peugeot is actually kinda big, only millionaires have AUDI and can't even ride them outside their mansions/private neighbourhoods since they'd get robbed by a whole gang

there are no IKEAs in the ninth world so my furniture is what my family had ages ago, decent quality though and if something ever breaks I can fix it

If Ketchup makes your mouth itch, you, my friend, have a food allergy. Itching in the mouth is not normal after eating something.

 

With that in mind, I've always disliked ketchup. But it doesn't make my mouth itch.

Only Hellmann's ketchup makes my mouth itch like when you eat an extremely spicy sauce. I can eat tomatoes tho so I'm not allergic to it, I just avoid ketchup and everything is all right.

I don't watch popular sports such as football (both football football and american football), basketball, baseball, etc, but as soon as Formula Drift or D1GP is on, i'm hooked.

I also mostly don't watch TV in general, i haven't sat down to watch a public TV problably in at least 5 years, i don't even watch series on Prime or Netflix (i don't even subscribe to them), i mostly just watch movies in physical media.

I don't keep believing/regurgitating popular internet stories/news articles or posts after someone has provided me evidence they are wrong.

Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.  Not having the same opinion does not always mean lack of understanding.

I don't use music streaming services and don't really use the majority of social media sites (don't have a twitter, tumblr, instagram, etc.) nor use snapchat or any video chat services.

I use a controller on the PC for most games.

I still buy CDs and Blu-Rays.

I still hang out in IRC chats. 

I don't really decorate for holidays.

I can't stand the smell nor taste of coffee plus dislike the taste of mustard.

I don't really care to watch NASCAR and Americian college football (not typical for someone that grew up in the South).

I use a phone till it stops working then I will get a new one.  Actually I don't really like phones, just my job makes me have one.

Yeah, not many on the civi side it seems now a days.  Yet the military still has a love affair with it (main reason I keep messing with IRC, since I have to deal with it on the military side).

Going with current trend and latest tech I guess....

 

For example, when the S8 came out, almost everybody in my school bought it (50/50 with iPhone X that day), then the S9 came out, some of my mates bought it directly. This was the time where I bought leftover S8 since the price dropped (the price was like buying an A8). I tend to buy something 1 year/gen older.

 

Speaking of trend, I'm talking about gaming (like battle royale games for now), shoes (all my mates are obsessed with shoes), "Challenge" (cinnamon challenge, 24 hours challenge, etc.).

I’m extremely white, and I love a good Starbucks writing my autobiography while wearing a striped polo and long cargo pants.  Always order the vanilla Oreo mochacchino with cinnamon and double shot as well as writing stupid emojis :-)~~.

 

But I also love extremely hot curries. I usually have firecracker chicken or lamb vindaloo extra hot. Sometimes as a snack I eat a whole jar of jalapeños straight from it like popcorn. Wasabi is more like weaksabi to me. Delicious.

 

I also enjoy canned fish and olives - and much to the dismay of many people, Oat and Raisin cookies are my fav.

I've actually never been to a Starbucks either. I usually end up choosing Panera over them.

 

One thing I tend not to do is listen to popular music. I just don't find it good.
