Now you can do that automatically.
I want 10 mourners in black to perform every one of my paedophile sketches at my funeral, to the Smiths greatest hits played mournfully on an accordion.
Oh I don't know if I like that idea. Bit too morbid.

I want everyone to join in a chorus of Every Sperm is Sacred at mine.

Haha!

No, a duvet isn't sealed at the bottom of the bed. The first thing I'll do if I have hospital or hotel bed where the top sheets and blankets are tucked under the matress is pull them loose. I have claustrophobic feet.

Kind of thing you're thinking of?
Okay mine are a bit out there....
1) I have a condition which totally warps the way I see myself and I cannot see what other people see and even see things about me that are not even there. This also leads me to bizzare habbits like not being able to go longer than an hour with checking my reflection in any shiny surface. Not for any real reason, I just HAVE to do it!
2) I have a paranoia about smell and must shower at least twice a day and always wear perfume.
3) I cannot wear gold jewellery. I find it tacky and have even cried in the past about having to wear it.
4) I can never watch films with live animals as the star because I will cry the whole way through thinking it will die at any moment.
5) I am allergic to glue. My reaction ranges from an itch to full on blisters. Only plasters cause no reaction.
6) I name all my little animal toys. I don't feel they are mine unless I name them.
7) I cannot pick up a stuffed toy without buying it. The reason is that when you pick one up, you have adopted it and to put it back is to abandon it. That's the logic I go with.
8) When sewing, I have to prick myself first because it means I won't prick myself as I'm sewing.
Cannot think of much more.... will let you know.
Cool we are a fascinating sack of mixed nuts.

I'm wondering if that's why we all enjoy comedy. Because it usually magnifies idiosyncratic behaviour, and it makes us feel better to see another character who's mental
Now I've revealed sleep paralysis, I can never use sleepwalking as an excuse for doing something

Are we a representative cross-section of society or is it just us?
Comedic talent could be seen as a fairly extreme form of excentricity.
So a representative cross-section of society then.
In essence I suppose so Timbo. Would be an interesting psychological survey to carry out - how do you rate your humour vs idiodyncracies.
I was interested in how many seem to focus on rerunning conversations or number patterns, as maybe it helps pick out details that could be used in writing.
Having said that, no one's really normal, and I can't understand someone who wants to scale a building with their bare hand as much as they don't see why I count letters in words

That I'd like to see.
It's a bit arrogant to believe that there's such a thing as a normal person, isn't it? It's probably just that people have been aiming at being normal for a long time and therefore didn't tend to speak about the things listed here. Nowadays everyone seems to strive for individuality/excentricity and therefore those things are overemphasized.

A tad more enthusiastically, but more or less!
I would have asked for a full re-enactment, but that's probably asking a bit much.
