Sometimes when I'm home alone I start beat boxing for no random reason. Just to make noise in the house...
When I'm at home I am always singing. I can't, but I do
Edit: related to this, I always have my window open and the kitchen screen door open, so when I need to go oitside for something I always assume the neighbors are outside and heard me for the last 3 hours. Just so I don't casually walk out to embarrasment I sneakily look over at their deck to see if they're out there, and they always are, always catching me peeking out at them

I don't talk about this much, well ever, but as someone who has suffered from almost paralyzing bouts of panic and anxiety... I think about all sorts of random crap.
Especially around 11, when I am trying to frigging sleep.
My favorite thing to think about is if a zombie apocalypse broke out instantly. What in the room would I use as a weapon? If im with people, who would I stick with? Where would I go? Where would my safe house be? Then I think of all the inventive traps I would use, weapons I would aquire, what I'd do for fun when im one of the last ones. Ive spent several hours in one sitting thinking about all the possibilities
I can't handle driving on a roadway that has water on both sides of it. I can't escape the feeling that a tie-rod will drop or something and cause the vehicle to drive into the water and I'll drown.
At night, when I cup my hands and put my face up to the window to look out, I am always terrified that someone will pop up and scare me. I cautiously approach windows at night. Or when it's night time and I turn on the light in my backyard, I always expect someone to be standing there.
I still stand as far from the drain as I can when I shower, because of It.
This might be more of a "weird thing you do" sort of thing...
But I am terrified of missing my alarm and being late for work. So after I set my alarms (ya, I have 4) I stare at them for probably 5 ish minutes analyzing each and every dot of color on the digits making sure it is the right time and it is AM not PM. I do it so often and intensely that my mind plays tricks on me and I see different times and it freaks me out....so I set the alarm again.
The strange thing is I am quite a light sleeper and 90% of the time over the past 5 or so years i have woken up before my alarm.

When I used to landscape I operated the skidsteer a fair bit. Every time I drove it by a car, I wondered what it would look like if I just rammed the car with my bucket or skids or auger or whatever attachment I had on.

- Thinking my car isn't locked right after I hit the button to lock it. I will start walking for a few minutes and then turn back and check each individual door and then head on my way again. (This happens sometimes to me at my front door at home as well)
- What I would do on an airplane that is hijacked. I play in my mind what I would do first to help everyone on board and my plan to fight off the hi-jackers (this has happened a lot more since 9/11).

Any time I drive close to any type of water I am convinced my car is somehow going to plunge in. So I rehearse in my mind what my strategy is going to be in order to get all my family out of the car safely.
For this reason, every car I have ever purchased has had a sunroof.

I need to stop watching horror movies.
I sometimes get the feeling at night that a Grey Alien is watching me through the window, in preparation for the abduction.

Sometimes I worry that one day my foreskin will grow back. Deep down inside, I know this isn't really possible but it's a very creepy and traumatizing thing to think about for me. I have been seeing a psychotherapist on a bi-weekly basis for the last 7-8 years but I haven't progressed very well. Every night I go to bed thinking I might wake up with foreskin and it makes falling asleep extremely difficult. I've had so many foreskin related night terrors, I lost count many years ago.

As a young teen when it got dark out I would have to cut through a school yard to get home and I would get freaked out by the red light in the dark school from the exit signs that lit up. I would tell myself I am not gonna look but then I would and picture Michael Myers standing there with the red light glowing off his white mask and I would run like hell!
