waiting in line when there are self checkouts available. I just dont like doing it.

You’re going to eat Australians with the peel??
You seem confused (☞ﾟヮﾟ)☞
I set my clocks on 24 hour time. Usually gets a comment when they see it.
I boil eggs with just half an inch of water in a pot and the lid on.
Set a timer to 6 minutes when the water starts to boil and they come out perfect every time.Neuroqueering! It gives you fun situations everyday for sure.
What does this mean? I’ve never heard the term before.
To keep it too simple, it’s neurodivergent people not adapting themselves to the constructed social norms.
In a more elaborated definition: it’s subverting, defying, disrupting, liberating oneself from neuronormativity and heteronormativity simultaneously.
When people have a brain functioning differently from the majority, you will have different behaviors not matching the heteronormativity and the neuronormativity —even if you’re heterosexual. The most obvious examples are not making eyes contact, not shaking hands, stimming in public.
Wait, what does being heterosexual or not have to do with this?

It’s about social norms and the idea of normal and the average person. It’s why I wrote “for example”. It’s one study case among others in this field.
I clap with the back of my right hand slapping the palm of my left hand (Bajoran style). I don’t know why but it’s how I’ve always done it. For some reason I really hate the feeling of my palms and finger undersides touching each other.
I clap really loudly. I cup the fingers off my right hand and bang them into the palm of my left hand. Sometimes people are annoyed by my choosing because it’s so loud. But we’re clapping? It’s supposed to be loud?
When I make coffee in the morning I put in one packet of pink sweetener, then half sugarfree liquid creamer and half milk then microwave it for 30 seconds to bring it back up to temp. And sometimes a splash of a Torani flavor for absolutely no reason. Could I just use a little more creamer instead of the sweetener? Sure. Could I use even more creamer and NO milk? Sure, I guess. I just enjoy mad scientisting my coffee. Wife just sighs and gets out of my way in the kitchen.
You could microwave the additives first and then add the coffee
I’ve had several people comment on the way I tie my shoelaces. I can’t even remember how to do it the “normal” way, but I use that knot that takes about half a second where you make both loops at once and pull them through each other.
I’ve been doing that for ~15 years and almost no one has commented on it :<
