14 Funny And Oddly Relatable Things We All Do

The human brain is still largely a mystery. Why do we do the things we do? How come I always have to walk to the rhythm of the music I’m listening to? Why do I feel compelled to tell my cat she is a cat 40 times a day? We can’t know. There’s just no way to know. These strangely relatable idiosyncrasies are as fascinating as they are frustrating, but at least we have the solidarity of knowing we’re not alone in experiencing them.
