“No One Can Stop Me”: 38 People Confess To The Weirdest Things They Do Living Alone

There’s nothing like the relief of being home alone.

There’s nothing like the relief of being home alone. The peace, the quiet, and the freedom to just let loose and do whatever you please—it’s the best feeling.

These Redditors know exactly what I’m talking about. In a recent thread, they opened up about all the weird little things they do in private. And who could blame them? From having imaginary arguments to setting up hammocks indoors just because, here are some of their most memorable posts.

#1

I generally eat my meals on a little folding table in my living room floor in front of the TV. During the pandemic, I ordered a white cloth and black napkins and fancy silverware and a little candleholder for it. And now I set it like a restaurant when I cook myself dinner. Because it cheers me up and I like it.

#2

I dress in ball gown I found at goodwill and drink tall boys while doing puzzles and listening to [end] podcasts. Every girl deserves to go to a ball.

#3

I sleep on a full size mattress in a camping tent in my bedroom. It took me five years of living alone to finally decide I'm gonna do whatever I want to do, and that's sleep in a tent every night. I love it.

#4

Learn dance routines and then show them to my dog and 2 cats. They don’t seem to appreciate all the hard work I put in.

#5

I paint my house to suit ME! Bright orange laundry room - yes! Sunny yellow kitchen - please! Purple dressing room etc etc. after literal years of being mindful of “resale value” I bought a really old home and just paint colors that make me happy 100%. Life is just too short for “resale value” in my opinion. Also? Looking into adult dog bed - omg can I fill it with my Squishmallow friends??

#6

I have devoted 3 full rooms to cat stuff and built a catio off the back of my house. I am determined to give my own cats and my fosters the absolute best. It's all enrichment in the tiger enclosure now.

#7

Sometimes when I'm bored, I'll narrate my activities David Attenborough style.

#8

I sing to the dog pretty much all day.

#9

I eat a WHOLE CAKE (not all in one go though) by sticking the fork right in the middle. I ain’t sharing. Why do I need to slice it up?

#10

I like to blast music and clean my house/do chores in chunky platform boots. Sometimes I pretend I'm being followed by a camera in a music video. Just makes me feel silly and confident, momentary dopamine hit all to myself.

#11

Have conversations with myself.

#12

Sometimes I just sit in random corners cuz I pay for them lol.

#13

What can be eaten with a spoon, will be eaten with a spoon. Spoons are a very underrated utensil and it escapes me why they aren’t more socially acceptable.

#14

I have a buddy that sleeps in a hammock that he hung in his bedroom. Note: he is almost 50 and single. 🤷‍♂️.

#15

I have excess. I have a full pantry, full freezer, extra sheets, towels, toiletries, toilet paper, cleaners. My bf is like how many people live here?! But I went without for a long time and it definitely traumatized me to where I will never be without again. I also have the correct thing, if that makes sense. I dont “make do” with mismatched sheets.

#16

Eat breakfast whenever I want.

#17

Accommodate every single one of my cat’s needs and preferences. The litterbox is in my bedroom. So is her food and water. I don’t know why she wants it this way but she’s made it clear she does

We have a queen sized bed. I have my side. The cat has her side. The top has a fluffy cat bed. The bottom has a pet heating pad and she goes back and forth

A tv tray is pushed up to her side of the bed with her food on it so she can have breakfast in bed. And lunch. And dinner. Imagine me trying to have a partner in this living situation lol.

#18

I have full on conversations with my cats. [leave] I will argue with those f****n’ weirdos that live with me rent free.

#19

I have theme rooms.

My master bedroom has the color scheme that I wanted to have when I was a kid. I have a picture of the sunset the day I moved in. I want to paint that on the wall too. My basement is being turned into my own gym. I am excited about that. Though omg the money spends so quick.

Dragonscatsandbooks:

Same! My completed bathroom is "evil sea witch". My 1/2 completed bedroom is "galaxy night" with Galaxy wallpaper on the ceiling. And my kitchen/living room is gothic cottage core. My master bedroom and bathroom are just going to be full on red and black Gothic, I'm letting my inner teenager run rampant (I bought a black toilet I'll install when I renovate)

NO ONE CAN STOP ME, MWAHAHA.

#20

Having to “convince “ myself that I’m not lazy. But I am. I don’t want to do s**t. No house work, no walking on my treadmill. No cooking. No getting gas for my car. I don’t mind going to work. I get “entertained” by them (coworkers and patients). I love hearing the planes fly over my house. I’ve chilled for hours in my living room doing absolutely nothing. No TV, music or reading. Just me and my quiet self time.

#21

I host solo karaoke nights, where I prepare snacks, drinks and then pretend I’m at a karaoke bar.

#22

I leave a post it note on the fridge with the date, time and location of where I'm going if I'm going somewhere other than work. In the event I disappear mysteriously or get into a wreck that is not reported, to save my family some grief. 🙂.

#23

I like to sleep in a macgyver’ed sensory deprivation chamber. I make the room cold because I sleep best in the cold, pile on tons of blankets, turn on a box fan for that wonderful grey noise, lights completely out in the entire apartment, unplug every single electronic in the room so there are no running lights or buzzing noises, draw the blackout curtains so no moonlights gets in, and then pass out in absolute peace.

I’m aware it is insane, but I’m single and I live alone so I do whatever the h**l I want.

I procrastinate tons of stuff that I need to get done and wallow in the joy of not having anybody around to call me out on it. It's truly awesome.

#25

15 king-size pillows on a full mattress. I sleep like a dog.

#26

I set up my hammock right in the middle of the living room.

#27

Have fake arguments with people, have fake conversations with celebrities I’m meeting for the first time.

I dance around my kitchen to the radio when I am cooking or cleaning.

#29

I can’t remember the last time I closed the door while taking a number 2.

Eating rotisserie chicken with my bare hands.

I have pirate themed bathroom decor because I can.

My shower curtain is a cat with a trident riding a T-Rex.

#32

White noise blasting so loud it’s like I sleep under Niagara Falls.

Whenever I start dating someone, they typically disapprove. Good thing they don’t live there.

#33

I eat like a king all of the time. Last night was a grilled pork chop, fried diced potato with onion, garlic, butter, & sour cream.

I dot have a sleep schedule. When I'm tired I sleep whether that's 2 pm or 2 am. When I wake up I get up. I also sleep wherever I sleep. On the couch, in the chair, in my bed, anywhere.

When I clean my house I blast Johnny Cash, usually, & get at it.

I talk to myself or the dogs.

I always keep my place picked up & clean. I put things back when I'm done.

#34

I sleep on my matress, DIAGONALLY 😂

I also write very personal notes on my fridge, it would embarass me if someone read them. I bought some magnetic whiteboard sheet and my fridge is like a whiteboard tower. I recently made a pro/con list about a relationship that didn't work out, and I needed to have everything in sight, and add stuff on the go.

I really love it, and the upper area has a calendar I made, with all the upcoming appointments and errands. It makes me feel like I have a direction.
