The 10 Strangest Addictions From 'My Strange Addiction'

Every time I wash my hands (approximately once a week), I have to cup them, let them fill up with water, and then pour the water over the faucet. I’m not sure why I do it or where it comes from (repressed childhood memories of not being a stock photo model), but without fail, I MUST DO IT. I think that’s a strange addiction, if not OCD’y – so what does that say about the girl who’s obsessed with eating rocks?

“My Strange Addiction,” which airs on the twenty-first century’s answer to the carnival freak show, TLC, is fascinating, in a really perverse way – not unlike every reality show ever. But what separates it from other fine TLC programming, such as “Hoarding: Buried Alive” and “Extreme Couponing,” is that, for the most part, the series doesn’t force you to FEEL PITY FOR THESE MISUNDERSTOOD MONSTERS. It does a good job of acting like a documentary – here’s the messed up sh*t that they do, and here’s why they do it.

Also: it’s fun for us to go, “HAHAHAHA, look at that there guy eating glass. What a cut up.” This is a list of the show’s 10 strangest strange addicts, with an out-of-context quote from each that makes them sound like they’re discussing something much more sexual than sniffing bleach.

Addiction: Eating toilet paper

Best Sexually Explicit Quote: “A good place where people really don’t pay attention to you eating toilet paper is the movie theater. It’s dark in there, so you can sneak a couple of sheets in without anyone noticing.” (Replace “toilet paper” with “masturbation.”)
