Personal habits.

[The Funslinger]

We all have strange little things and rituals we do. Share yours. Habits for the Habit God!

Personally, whenever I finish a packet of crisps (chips to all you yanks) I make the packet into one of these:

 

[Daystar Clarion]

When I drink a cup of tea, I always leave a little of it at the bottom of the cup


It goes back to the days when teabags weren't as good as they are today, and you would always get some tea sediment at the bottom of the cup that wasn't particularly pleasant to drink.

Habit of a life time that I just can't break

 

[Mr Fixit]

I have a bad habit of letting reciepts pile up for months before I get rid of them, but I just don't throw them away. I stuff them down inside a soda bottle until its so full I cant fit any more in it, then I burn it....

And I clean the shower while I'm taking a shower....

 

[Nantucket_v1legacy]

I have an awful habit of talking to myself.

If I'm in a quiet room I have to start singing or have a comical conversation with myself. I hate the idea of utter silence and I am quite happy to entertain myself.

People at work think I'm bonkers.

 

[Scarim Coral]

I pretty much always used the fork with my right hand and the knife with my left including when I'm in a formal dinner type of party.
I think it because I always view my right hand as the dominant hand when it come to eating since I use chopsticks with my right hand aswell.

I talk to myself all the time.

I have a horrible habit of biting my nails. Also, when playing my guitar, I use the "walking man" style of plucking the strings, and I tend to do that on various objects when waiting for something or standing around.

 

[Phasmal]

Oh, I have a bunch of things like this.
First of all, cause I work with kids, I tend to talk like you would to a child a bit more than I should. In a speech way, not a condescending way. For instance, far too many times instead of saying `Do you need the toilet?` I'll say `Do you need a wee-wee?` when speaking to an adult.

I have a tendency if my hands are full to point with my feet.
And I'm quite bendy so if I'm washing up and I want my boyfriend to get something I will just point at it with my foot.

Oh and apparently I sit weird. I like to sit hunched up, not with my feet on the floor. Or I will sit on my feet. It bothers people way more than it should. It just feels comfortable to me. But I will admit I sometimes sit on my feet too long and my ankles fall asleep and I make a fool of myself when I try to stand up.

I do that

Although I tend to only sit on one of my feet. Very strange sensation, trying to stand up when one of your feet is completely numb

I have the exact same habit. Whenever i'm alone I just have to talk to myself about something or make plans for things I will be doing. Hell, even when i'm out walking somewhere i'l be whispering to myself...

I don't really know why I do this, i've always done it...

I have a tendency to get distracted on the toilet (usually reading a comic or something) and sit there for far too long. When I eventually get up my legs have fallen asleep from the knee down. It sucks D:

I like to also think it makes things a lot clearer.

"Right, first I'll do this and then I'll... hang on I'm meeting blah blah. Oh they won't mind will they? Nah they'll be cool. What if they've not eaten? Mm pizza - I'll order pizza" etc etc.

Some people write things down - we talk to ourselves.

 

[sky14kemea]

Whenever I get a bus or tram ticket, I always start folding it as many times as I can. Or make it look like a folded shirt.

Also when I first log onto my computer, I have to check all my webcomics in my bookmarks before I can go on skype or do anything else. If I don't do it, it nags on my mind the whole time.

When I eat malteasers, I nibble off the chocolate coating and leave the malty-biscuit thing for later, so I can savour it.

>_> This is the sorta thing you meant, right?

 

[Lunatic High]

When I cook breakfast I always make mixed vegetables to go with it just because you never know if your gonna get that serving of vegetables. People say its wierd, I say its wierd to keep having the same "acceptable" greasy high colesterol breakfast foods for hundreds of years a wonder why heart problems are a big issue these days, for instance yesterday mouring with my 2 egg omlette I had a cauliflower, sliced carrott, and brockly meddly for my side dish the leftovers of which went in to this mournings skillet

Also when I write my shopping list (you know groceries/clothes..whatever) I draw a line down the middle and seperate them into "wants" and "needs" for example things like toiletpaper, groceries etc. go into the "needs" section and things like videogames, more weights for my benchpress, or mouthguards and wristtape go into "wants" I still get the "odd eye" from some of my friends about this but its really just compartmentilization due to my PD's I don't think people these days are very good at distinguishing between the two.

 

[Zack Alklazaris]

I do that leg bobbing thing. I got it from my mother. My wife hates it lol

 

[Mr.Squishy]

I never eat the very bottom of the banana, because I was, at a young age, convinced that spiders laid eggs there.
Also, I talk to myself and have several pseudo-ocd tics.

 

[Elementary - Dear Watson]

If I have to reach something high my right leg will lift off of the floor and bend 90 degrees... it looks really quite camp...

To add salt to that wound, I play with phone chords when I am on them... like twirl them round my finger and stuff...

Both of these I do without consious awareness!

 

[King of Asgaard]

Two from me:
First, I pick at my lips. Meaning, if I find a bit of dry/dead/loose skin on my lips, I will rip that summa ***** off. It has caused profuse bleeding in the past. It tends to happen when one or more of my hands is doing nothing.
Second, I sit with my legs in weird positions, and only rarely sit normally with my feet touching the floor. I can sit cross-legged, with my legs elevated by resting on a table or chair or even the wall at times. Concordantly, my back tends to be slightly curved when I sit comfortably.

 

[Colour Scientist]

I pick at my nails when I'm nervous or upset(or peel off nail-varnish if I'm wearing any). I stopped biting my nails years ago but they still look short because of that habit. Also, when I'm angry at someone I just don't look at them. Looking at them makes me less angry so I tend to look away so I can sulk more!

I like folding paper, going over the crease with my nails and tearing it into identical little pieces until I can't get them any smaller.

When I eat malteasers, I nibble off the chocolate coating and leave the malty-biscuit thing for later, so I can savour it.

I do that with Crunchie bars and Jaffa Cakes too.

 

[Souplex]

I roll my $1 bills into "Butt money".
Much more efficient than its inspiration.

 

[Palademon]

I eat food in a certain order.

I pee sitting down because I can't be assed to stand up.

Whenever I accidentally walk into the wrong room in my house, I walk out of it backwards to erase the motion by making it perfectly neutral.

There's more but I'm so used to them it'll probably take me forever to remember.

Editted addtions:

I eat club bars one letter at a time.

I pace around my house thinking.
