Things you do differently to everyone else

TheMechEngineer

What are some quirks you have that set you apart from other people?

 

Here's some of mine:

  • I'm the only person I know who still has an old Nokia, while everyone else has iPhones.
  • I don't play any games on my most powerful desktop.
  • I never watch any Youtube videos in HD.

i'm right handed, but unlike all other right handed people, i can only pick my nose with my left hand.

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

  • I'm right handed, but do most of the things left, except writing.

I have never used Fraps and stick to Msi afterburner for recording games. 

I hate oreos

  • I'm a claustrophile (I like being in small spaces)

having phobia is not considered doing stuff others do differently.

yes, you say that now, unless it has actually happened and you are ok with it is a totally different ball game. unless you say it happened once and you are ok and have no way of proving it.

Well, I'm not really talking about having a phobia (actually the complete opposite)

I'm activly seeking out small spaces. When I need to just be alone with my thought I lay down in the crawl space beneath my house, for example.

I would consider that quite different.

That's specific scenario didn't happen but there was a huge spider crawling across my walls in my room and I didn't care I was playing Tomb Raider. and i was on the toilet and saw a spider crawl on the ground in front of me and I didn't do anything I have no clue where it is now.

I don't feel "elite" just because I have a gaming PC or any other choice of hardware I've made.

I hate pets, unless they're ultra low maintenance, like turtles

I hate having plants in the house, except cacti and the occasional fresh herbs

I don't believe in central heating. I have an AMD CPU for that

I like having that one little spider in my room that keeps trapping and eating mosquitoes and flies

I think brooms are stupid and vacuum cleaners are superior in every way

I use the elevator to get to the second floor, where my apartment is

I still use snail-mail

The apartment lease isn't under my name but I still make the law in it, even though I've only moved in a couple of months ago

I'd rather starve than order fast-food

I know how to bake one mean cake

I like slow small cars.

I prefer amd over the green team.

All my Android devices are Intel powered and x64.

I prefer led street lights.

My favorite season is winter with 8ft snowbanks.

I like my 81 articcat jag 4000. I can fix anything on it with a screw driver. Unlike newer sleds with check engine lights.

I don't like pickup trucks.

I think tornado sirens are calming.

I love walking in the rain.

I find the sound of 60hz resonating at 120 and 240hz is very calming. (I'm a industrial electrician)
