Ever catch yourself wondering, “Are we the only ones who do this?” when you’re with your significant other? Turns out, you’re definitely not alone! Couples are sharing the most bizarre, quirky, and downright weird things they do together, and it might just make you feel a little more… normal. Brace yourself, because some of these might give you a serious case of the ick—but don’t worry, we’re keeping it real (and super entertaining!).
1. Taxi Talk – The Unspoken Rule
Ever pretended your partner is a taxi driver? Reddit user u/shgrizz2 shared their routine: “Without fail, if we’re in the car together coming back home, the passenger will describe to the driver where the house is as if we’re in a taxi. For example, ‘Just after the lamp post, before the red van, please,’ ‘After the blue car, okay,’ ‘Yes, that’s great, thanks.’ Every time.”
2. The Face-Licking Game – Yes, You Read That Right!
Okay, this one is a little… out there. u/sqkypants confessed, “GF and I randomly lick each other’s faces. Extra points for how prolonged and weird we can make it. Many giggles and awkward standoffs have occurred when we’re cuddling and suspect the other person is tempted to attack.” Who knew face-licking could be the ultimate relationship test?
3. Hand-Squeezing Battles – More Intense Than You’d Think!
Some couples hold hands. Others turn it into a battle. Reddit user u/booyah_smoke says, “Me and my wife, while holding hands, one will squeeze the other’s hand at a random time and yell, ‘Battle.’ We go into a hand-squeezing match. No one understands why or where it came from.”
4. Fake Laugh-Offs – From Forced Giggles to Real Ones
Imagine forcing a fake laugh until your partner joins in. Then you both keep laughing, louder and louder, until suddenly, it’s a real belly laugh. u/alldayieatsushi shared, “One of us randomly forces a fake laugh until the other joins in and keeps laughing loud and fake, until it eventually becomes a real laugh.” It’s a trick for turning a dull moment into a memory.
5. Price-Guessing at the Grocery Store – Because Why Not?
Couples have turned grocery shopping into a game show. While unloading items at the checkout, they guess the total cost, and whoever’s closest gets to pick the treat for the ride home. u/Formal_Reaction_1572 explained, “We always guess the price of our groceries while putting them on the belt, and whoever wins gets to pick the treat we eat on the way home.”
6. Otter Obsession – Finding Stones for Each Other
Some people exchange love letters; others exchange… stones. For one couple, it’s all about finding a cute stone and slipping it into each other’s pockets. Reddit user u/LtZsRalph says, “We both love otters, and we try to find stones everywhere we go. We pick a favorite stone and place them in each other’s pocket. Or we pick a stone whenever we are without each other, and as we reunite, we hand out a little stone with the saying, ‘Found a cute stone for you.’” Adorable or just plain odd? You decide.
7. Talk-to-the-Cat Conversations – A New Language?
When you talk to your pet, do you ever pretend the other is translating for them? u/BlizzPenguin shares, “One of us will say something to one of the cats, and the other will reply with something the cat might say.”
8. Eyebrow Races – The Ultimate Face-Off
Standing nose-to-nose, one couple tries to out-wiggle the other’s eyebrows. u/wikigreenwood82 describes it: “Eyebrow races! We stand nose-to-nose and wiggle our eyebrows up and down. The winner is determined by who can keep up the wiggling the longest.”
9. The Object-Kissing Game – How Weird Can You Get?
Here’s a wild one: one partner names a random object, and the other has to guess what a kiss from that object would feel like. Think “paper clip” or “cactus.” u/flamingochair explained, “We play a game where one of us closes our eyes and says an inanimate object, animal, or thing (such as a paper clip or termite), and the other person has to recreate what a kiss from that thing would feel like.”
10. The ‘Egg’ Game – Wrestling with a Twist
Reddit user u/zee_glass describes their unique game: “My wife and I created a game called Egg. The initiator lays face down on top of the other one, and they proceed to touch noses while counting down from three. After one, you both announce, ‘EGG,’ and wrestle until one of you is able to breathe directly into the ear of the other, with their mouth wide open.”
11. “I’m Walkin’ ‘Ere!” – A Welsh Couple’s New York Moment
Picture this: you’re casually walking by your partner in the hallway, and suddenly one of you yells in a fake New York accent, “Hey, I’m walkin’ ‘ere!” Reddit user u/Vorsa says, “We’re both Welsh. No idea how it started, but we’ve been doing it for around seven years!”
12. Bathroom Code – “I’m Gonna Think a Bit”
Instead of announcing their bathroom trips, one couple says they’re going to “think a bit.” u/lolamalakk confessed, “Not me, but my cousin — her and her bf often say, ‘I’m going to think a bit,’ instead of saying, ‘I’m gonna take a shit.’ Took me a while to realize, and I think that’s pretty funny.”
13. Playing the ‘That’s Racist’ Card – Every. Single. Time.
Reddit user u/Im_too_old shares, “Whenever my wife says white or black, I blurt out, ‘That’s racist.’ She could say, ‘Hand me the black controller,’ — boom, that’s racist. I even do it in public and somehow she still likes me.”
14. The Kitten Song – Musical Duets About Pets
Ever make up songs about your cats? u/NoLobster7957 shares their ritual: “My significant other and I have a dumb ritual where I’ll make up ornate songs about my cats, then he’ll start singing a verse, and I’ll exclaim in shock, ‘Wait, YOU KNOW THE KITTEN SONG!?’ This also happens in reverse.”
15. Break-Up High-Fives – Celebrating Their Survival
This couple high-fives whenever they hear about a break-up, celebrating that they’ve “survived” as a pair. u/TehTacow explained, “We high-five when a couple breaks up, because we ‘survived’ them.”
16. Bluetooth Connected – The Unusual Head-Bonk Ritual
Whenever they say the same thing at the same time, they bonk their heads together and say, “Bluetooth connected.” u/thecakeistrue23 calls it their unique little ritual.
17. Boxer Showdown – Bedtime Gets Competitive
Reddit user u/bigtallsunflowers shares, “I wear boxers to bed, and sometimes we will play a game where we are trying to take off the other person’s boxers while keeping our own on. It sounds like it might lead to sexy time, but really it just leads to the two of us laughing our asses off.”
18. Silly Gift Tags – From ‘Hubby Bear’ to ‘Wifey Bear’
They’ve taken the art of gift-giving to the next level with inside jokes and goofy names on their presents. Reddit user u/Belle0516 shared, “For example, ‘To hubby bear from wifey bear,’ or ‘From the Beast to my Beauty.’”
19. Feet Peeling Parties – Strange, Yet Satisfying
And finally, the weirdest of them all—peeling each other’s feet after using those baby foot masks. u/Unbake_my_tart_ describes it: “They would sit there together, peeling her feet, saying, ‘Ooh my god, this is a satisfying one,’ ‘Look at how long this one is,’ ‘Damn, it’s just coming right off.’”
And That’s Just the Beginning…
These quirky habits might sound bizarre, but at the end of the day, they’re a reminder that every couple has their own little quirks that make them special. Maybe you see yourself in some of these, or maybe you’re just here for the laughs. Either way, love is all about embracing the weirdness together.
