Unusual IT habits

UNUSUAL IT HABITS

There are some things we do without completely understanding the reasons behind it. I’ve seen plenty of strange habits people have but then again, I never really paid attention to them. So today, I’m going to go ahead and examine some of these things.

NUMBER 1: MY FAMILY

We know most members in a family usually have shared memories and interests, but my family likes to take this to the next level, by also having shared passwords! I never thought much about, as I just assumed its normal, but now that I focus on this more, most family members like to have some sort of privacy! However, in my family, starting from my dad all the way to me (the youngest of 5 kids) use the same passwords for our phones, laptops, suitcase locks etc. It’s not a random number, but a number such as our previous zip code etc. Now it’s not exactly the same number because we have a set of numbers we chose from:

4 digit code – 2 options

3 digit code – 1 option

Pattern lock- 2 options

So if I want to access my brother’s phone, I know which pins ones to try out! And vice versa…

Don’t ask me why we have this system. It’s just done subconsciously, because we set passwords in case of our phones getting lost or stolen so outsiders can’t access it – it’s not set to keep our siblings/parents out (something to do with trusting each other I suppose?)

NUMBER 2: ME, MYSELF AND I

I think I have few weird things going on to be honest, but I’ll just mention one :D

While studying alone, most people like pin-drop silence or maybe some background music. I, on the other hand, listen to audio books. Not any audio book actually, it has to be Harry Potter The GOBLET OF FIRE (BOOK 4) OR THE HALF-BLOOD PRINCE (BOOK 6). Why specifically these two options only? Because I know these two books so well, that when they are playing in the background, I don’t get too engrossed into the book, but at the same time it’s not too silent or too noisy. Perfect for when I’m studying by myself in my room. Needless to say, I don’t like too little or too much noise.

NUMBER 3: BROTHERS/ MEN INTO VIDEO GAMES

I’ve noticed many people, including my own brothers (who are super into online/video games) completely and totally do not realise what’s happening in their surroundings when they are playing. I know this is quite common for sure, but that doesn’t make it any less normal!
