Rare pointless things that we still keep doing

As you know I like to pick up a takeaway meal at Marqt. They are tasty, kind of healthy, and super easy. Ideal. At Marqt, you can only pay with your debit card or credit card, and that has always been the case. But still, I say every time at checkout that I “want to pay by card please.” The cashier looks at me like “DUH” and I mumble something about “ha-ha yes that can't be helped, the power of habit ha-ha” and every time I feel like a fool. But I keep doing it. And there's more.

Roll cookies

If you eat something unhealthy and it's actually too much, you still eat it because “then it's just gone.” Not throwing it away, not storing it, no, eating it. In your mouth. That's really the best idea.

Looking in the window

When Jet and I bike to work, there's a certain office we pass by where you can see yourself very well in the windows. And before we get there, we've passed by more windows and every time we look again. As if we suddenly look so incredibly different after those ten meters. Vain women.

Cigarette ashes

For the smokers, they can surely understand this. But I ash my cigarette after every puff, even though that's totally unnecessary. But why?!

Feeling the tap

When I turn on the tap and I know it's set to cold, I still always feel it for a moment. In fact; at home, the tap in the kitchen is broken and only gives cold water, but I still have to feel it every time.

Burning my tongue

From every bitter snack that is brought steaming and steaming to my table, I take a bite and then mercilessly burn my tongue. Because I really won't learn that ever.

Setting the alarm

I intentionally set my alarm earlier so I can snooze, but I also set it every 10 minutes. So at 07:10, 07:20, 07:30, and so on. In between, everything goes off again, making it a hellish noise for half an hour, and every morning I wonder why I put myself through this in God's name. No one knows.
