Do you chew ice for fun? Crave pickles at midnight? Wear socks in bed or avoid public restrooms at all costs? You’re not alone—and you’re not weird. In this episode of How Normal Are You?, we dive deep into four quirky (but totally relatable) behaviors that make us wonder: “Is this normal... or just me?”

We explore:

• Chewing Ice, Eating Pickles & Other Strange Cravings
  Whether it’s pagophagia or a need for salt, your snack obsessions might say more about your brain and body than you think.

• Rewatching the Same Show—Again and Again
  Why do we turn to the same shows over and over? Hint: it’s not laziness—it’s neuroscience, nostalgia, and emotional regulation.

• Public Bathroom Anxiety
  From stall strategies to shy bladders, we examine why so many of us freeze up when nature calls in public.

• Socks in Bed: Comfort or Crime?
  The polarizing bedtime ritual that divides partners and baffles sleep scientists alike.

Whether you're a rewatch addict, fridge raider, or someone who absolutely cannot pee with someone nearby, this episode will help you embrace the oddities that make us human.

Ever found yourself arguing over the “right” way to hang toilet paper? Or maybe you’ve had a deep conversation—with yourself—while stuck in traffic? You're not alone. In this episode of How Normal Are You?, we’re diving headfirst into five of the weirdest (but most relatable) habits people rarely admit to... even though millions do them.

We kick things off with the ultimate domestic showdown: Toilet Paper Wars—Over or Under? It might sound silly, but it turns out the orientation of your toilet paper says more about your personality than you think. We’ll reveal the history, science, and surprisingly passionate opinions behind this age-old bathroom debate.

Next up: Talking to Yourself—Genius or Just Weird? If you’ve ever narrated your actions out loud or rehearsed arguments in the mirror, you might actually be tapping into one of the most powerful brain tools for focus, memory, and emotional clarity.

Then it’s time for suds and symphonies with Shower Thoughts & Singing Routines. We explore why some of our most profound ideas happen mid-shampoo and why your voice sounds Grammy-worthy when you belt out your favorite song under the showerhead.

After that, we hit the snooze button—repeatedly. In Snooze Button Syndrome, we explore why millions of people keep delaying their alarm and whether snoozing is a harmless comfort or a recipe for groggy regret.

Finally, we peek into that glowing kitchen mystery with Checking the Fridge (Again) When You’re Not Even Hungry. What are we really looking for in there—a snack, a sense of control, or maybe just a break from our thoughts?

By the end of this episode, you'll either feel completely seen—or even more curious about what drives your daily rituals.

Whether you're a fridge checker, a mirror monologuer, or someone who takes their toilet paper orientation very seriously, this episode offers a mix of humor, insight, and a reminder that "normal" is often just code for "common."

So settle in, get curious, and ask yourself: How Normal Are You?
