Am I Weird?


The following are some of my weird aspects. 

Floor Eater
I do not hesitate to eat any food spilled on the floor.

The other day, my plate of maggi slipped from my hands and landed upside down on the marble floor of my house. After hurriedly wiping out clean the maggi and milk stains on my leather jacket (I was changing my room with my jacket, maggi plate, newspaper in one hand and glass of milk in the other), I decided not to let go off my maggi. I'd just eaten two bites of my maggi and there it was on the floor. Frustrated, I sat down and ate all of the spilled maggi with a fork before wiping the floor with a poncha. So, was that very weird? I feel that my immunity is strong because I do things like these. I used to eat mud in childhood, but I guess many kids do that. Is it just me. I would love to meet a 'floor eater' like me and vent out against the hygienic people.

Wrapper Kicker
 My other weird habit these days is cleaning the roads I walk on. Impressed by the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan, I kick all wrappers, polythenes, crushed cups to the side of the road or beneath parked cars - the logic being that less people will litter in the middle of the road if they encounter clean roads regularly.

I usually glance backwards to check if anyone is walking right behind me. If yes, I try to make it look as if my kicks are by accident - just one shot while I walk. If no one's looking, the kicking is more focused, comprising at times, 2-3 kicks and more directed shots. Again, I would love to meet 'wrapper kickers' like me to help create a clean India, though I seriously doubt I would meet any.

God
Probably the weirdest aspect of me. You'll be turned off after reading this - I sometimes think I am God. A lazy God to put it exactly.

In my defense:
  • I don't want any followers.
  • I admit I am lazy.
  • I don't think I'm the only God. There may be many like me.
  • The thought occurs only sometimes.

I feel that apart from being lazy, I am perfect. The perfection here is in a moral sense. I don't hurt anyone, don't like to talk negative about anyone in their absence. I am also very wise according to me. In so many situations, I know the 'right' thing to do. I also speak less and try to listen more. Enough of the self praise now!

The crux is, morality is primary to me - if you don't have it, I won't respect you. All other things are secondary. Sadly, few people understand this nowadays.
