What habit do you possess that seems very normal to you, but would seem odd to anyone else?

I know where almost all of my physical possessions are down to the cubic decimeter.
After moving to a new place or staying somewhere regular ( like gfs place) I'll have opened every cupboard and every drawer and looked in every nook and cranny, and tested every light switch.
It's weird to hear people say 'I never noticed that lightswitch before' after they have lived there for months. Don't people explore anymore?
Fun story - my house has a hidden room sort of. I’ve known about it since I bought the place like 15 years ago. I plan to convert it into a root cellar/storm shelter/bug out room since its in a very secure part of the basement.
I didn't know there was a half-size wooden door hidden behind the partly-finished basement drywall (previously a rec room/office), i just knew about the shitty door cut into the side of the stairs. Never had a reason to go inside there with a light prior to that, and its entirely hidden from the existing door. Only found it while preparing the space for my chickens to ride out a brutal cold snap this past winter.
Its jambed on both sides to prevent swing and never had hardware, but I can drill and hang it pretty easily. Then i really will make it a hidden room someone will find randomly someday
I think I found the pictures you posted on that: https://youtu.be/aUTheooB-XQ
You gotta pin up a bunch of random stock photos and newspaper clippings with red string running everywhere!
