Last week I gave you the 'Top Screw-ups Of The Week'.

Today its  'The World's Wackiest Addictions'.

By and large (my mother used to keep saying that!!) - everyone is addicted to something. Most of us think of addictive behaviors as being mostly about  drug abuse, alcohol addiction or pronounced over-eating.

This may come as a shock  -  we 'standard model' run of the mill types are not too far removed from those considered to have 'addictive personalities'. Consider this, how many times have you heard someone say they are an 'addictive  cleaner.'

When you think about it almost anything can be habit forming

Food, shoes, TV, sport, smoking, chocolate, exercise, coffee, cleaning etc. Psychology of addiction itself is complex, if not kind of twisted, but it is a reality for millions world wide.

I have a friend who is chronically addicted to 'popping bubble wrap' - crazy as it may seem she absolutely, really gets her nickers in some sort of twist if anyone gets to the bubble wrap before she does.  It seems looking at 'ready popped bubble wrap' not popped by hers truly is a trigger for her to demonstrate all sorts weird behavior.

If you were wondering

Yes!! - Oh Yes!! I have my own 'personal arrangement of  'addictions' none however so colorful as some of the more obscure ones that I have come across.   So, maybe I can't be left alone anywhere close to shoe shops and easter eggs, but that's a whole lot better than eating dirt, licking bricks or exercising myself to death.

My children on the other hand have never forgotten how they were forced into having to hide their eggs from me every Easter. Bless them, they have continued the ritual by warning my grandchildren of the need to do this as well.

If you have any of your own addictions...let us know, make a comment or if you would like your story featured Email Us Here.

Anyway, back to where this all began

Yours in mountains of shoes (and easter eggs - mmm! they have just the best chocolate)
