25 USELESS THINGS WE ALL DO

But why?

We women have quite a few strange habits that we actually don't know why we do them. But we do them anyway. How many do you check off?

1. Turning down the radio when you want to squeeze the car into that small parking spot along the canals.

2. Yelling ‘Ouch’ before you even hurt yourself.

3. Spreading Nutella all over your rice cake, right to the edge... Right, dear colleagues?

4. Talking to your dog in a baby voice. Why?

5. Looking at your iPhone even though you didn't hear a beep or vibration. And five minutes later again. And five minutes later again.

6. Putting a spoon in your coffee even though you don't have any milk or sugar in it.

7. Putting the burnt match you just used back in the box.

8. Not going to the bathroom at night when you wake up because you think you can hold it. It only gets worse.

9. Setting five alarms when you know one is enough.

10. Continuing to stir your cup of coffee even though the sugar has long dissolved.

11. Blowing on your cup of tea when it's not even hot anymore.

12. Keeping magazines because you think you'll read them again, but that never happens.

“Applying mascara with your mouth open...”

13. Making the bath so hot that you then have to let it cool down for ten minutes because stepping in is just impossible.

14. Applying mascara with your mouth open.

15. Shoving your Christmas lights back into the packaging on January 2nd while you really intended to neatly store the lights this time. Drama.

16. Always wearing a rubber band around your wrist even though you never tie your hair up, but now you have a dead arm because of it.

17. Applying an extra layer of deodorant even though you don't smell; just in case.

18. Throwing some extra tampons in your bag even though there are already about ten floating around in that same bag.

19. Applying lip balm even though you don't have dry lips at all.

20. Looking at your phone to find out what time it is and then three messages and five minutes of scrolling on Instagram later still not knowing what time it is.

21. Switching lines at the supermarket last minute even though you know you won't get out any faster.

22. Always asking for the receipt at the checkout. Three months later you can't see the bottom of your bag anymore, so many receipts (that you never looked at again) are in there.

23. Checking every five minutes while traveling to see if you still have your passport.

24. And yes, I must honestly admit that at Starbucks, besides my cup of coffee, I always grab a napkin. But why?

25. Every tick always taps on the tab of her soda can, but why is the question...
