Rubber Bands

Post Reply New Topic

I have this on and off "habit" of putting a rubber band on my wrist. I don't go and purchase them or anything, but if I stumble upon one or one finds its way into my possession; on the wrist, every time.

I feel better when one is there.
When it breaks or I realize it's not there I get a little sad, but then I don't think about it until a rubberband appears in front of me again.

Literally, I won't look in drawers or anything like that. Has to be a random rubber band.

Thoughts?

Anything similar?

when I ride my trike I have to use a rubber band on my right leg, to keep my pant legs from getting caught in the pedal sprocket.

I have a ball made of rubber bands,it's about the size of a baseball.

save a few more and pretty soon the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota will have some competition

when I was ill and hospitalized last year, my older sister threw out all my rubber bands, that made me really sore.

but at least she never found my secret cache of reserve rubber bands just in case something should happen to the others.

They say that having a rubber band on your wrist makes for a good reminder. I've never tried it personally.

I honestly can't tell if you guys are serious or mocking me.

I do have a rubber band ball,and it bounces.

No one's mocking you. We're simply joining in on the conversation about rubber bands.

I also love rubber bands as a method of keeping areas behind entertainment centers neater, as well as other areas where a lot of power and A/V cables are involved. I don't like a whole mess of cords because it gets cluttered and you can't tell what belongs to what. Most recently also because of our cat pulling stuff down by the cords.

I don't do mocking, that isn't my style. you must think i'm an NT or something

I used to carry a hair band on my wrist for a while, don't really know why as I virtually never tie my hair back, but I kind of liked having it there, until one day it disappeared. Didn't really think about it much after that. These days I wear a watch 24/7, but mainly because I'm a little obsessed with time, I'm forever losing bracelets though.

Rubber bands are wonderful stim toys and make great improvised musical instruments

I remember when I was a little kid, I found some rubber bands and an unused little empty box, and I improvised a sort of musical instrument that was something like a kalimba made by a drunk. anyways, I went out to the pool and stood at the edge, plunked it and hummed along with it happily. one of the happy little memories from my childhood.

We have rubber bands all over my work! Banding the candy by twos. Banding the bags by 25. Bands on the money.... and whenever I need to open a bundle, the band goes straight to my wrist. I've ended up with 7 or 8 on my wrist at the end of a shift. Then I put them back with the new bands, so they can be reused. Everyone else just throws theirs away, and it makes me sad.

I like to play with rubber bands. If I have one in my hands, I'll stim with it until it snaps.
