I microwave rice or noodles with water to make them perfect.

That isn't normal? I thought that was common leftovers knowledge, lol

Leftovers maybe, but I'm referring to the first time cooking it. I've had lots of strange looks for it.

I never listen to a whole song. I'll usually get about half way through before going to the next track.

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.

Biking instead of driving places, especially in the winter.

Blow into my cigarette before putting it in my mouth.

I smoke Parliaments, which have a little recess in the filter and sometimes bits of the tobacco get in there; I blow it out because I don't want to eat it

Ive dated a few Filipina women over the years. When its my turn to cook, I'll sometimes add a packet of onion soup mix to the rice cooker. Its delicious, but it triggers their FauxCD because its just wrong.
