Yes, absently singing out loud when I think it's in my head.

When people say a sentence that is or resembles a line from a song I HAVE to sing it. Even if it's just in my head. In fact I tend to sing a lot, making up words as I go along. "Time to make the tea/Can't you see/I desperately/Need some teeeeeAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Also this, one of my friends amuses her self by trying to slip as many of these as she can in to conversation with me.

When I'm thinking I tend to get something close to hand and start flipping it. It all fine until I decide to do it with my ipod and misjudge the flight of it and drop it >.<

Whenever I'm using my laptop, my right leg must be bobbing up and down. I don't know why, but it feels so odd if I keep it still. I also can't go more than an hour without a cuppa, but I'm unsure if that's a habit or just plain caffeine addiction.

Whoa, condoms, condoms every where.

OT: I carry full on conversations with myself. I talk to myself all the time. I'm glad to know I"m not the only one.

I also can't stand any kind of trash in my room. I have to get up & throw it out immediately or it drives me nuts.

I also pop my knuckles all the time. it annoys several people.

I have more but I'd rather not elaborate. Use your imagination.

In keeping up with the condom talk: Penis!

Let's see...

I change the toilet paper to the position I prefer no matter where I am or whose bathroom I'm using.

I am always compelled to pop and/or burst pustules, pimples and other such blemishes. Whether they are on my body or on someone else's.

There is never a hole in my clothing that I can resist making bigger. I see it. I mess with it. It gets larger. I have destroyed hair bands the same way. If it wears down, I start picking at the tear and next thing I know, it's been torn in half.


Hm... that's about it. I'll give this more thought.

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.
These...Always these...also tend to talk to myself and, when I'm talking: Regardless of whehter it's on the phone or in person I have to be doing something with my hands. Either I'm gesturing with them or I'm playing with something. It's gotten me yelled at a couple times because I'd grab someone's stuff lying nearby

EDITED IN:
I never sit at my computer without putting a leg up on my tower, no matter how uncomfortable this may make me...and I obsess over making things symmetrical or straight.

The whole condoms thing has been a very amusing read, please don't let it die just yet.

OT: I also talk to myself, although not out loud. Sometimes a whisper but usually just in my head. I feel less of a weirdo now that I know others do the same/similar.

The only other thing that comes to mind at the moment is that whenever I see a picture I like, or any type of media for that matter (mostly pictures though) I am compelled to save it. Either adding it to my ever messier favorites lists (yes, multiple lists) or actually saving it to my hard drive.

And I don't really spend much time revisiting most of them either. Unless it's something I wanted to show someone or I happen upon it in moments of boredom.

This also led to the situation where I had a screenshot folder containing 10.000+ screencaps. All from a single game, mind you.

.. Worst part is, the hard drive that was on got fried and the files were lost. I actually shed a tear over that.

I'm a bit OCD and I always triple-check all the locks in my house before I leave. Sometimes i get to the end of my driveway and go back and check it a forth time.

THIS! I do this! (And I once remembered talking to a customer once who did it as well, so I know quite a few people must do it)

Also, I bit of some of the caramel and chocolate parts of Twixs sometimes, and then eat the biscuit. Yummy! :D

When I start browsing the net, I immediately check the Telltale Forum, Kotaku, GOG, then my emails in that order. (and then somtimes here too if I have time for it)

EDIT: I come up with little ditties when I'm by myself doing a chore, like hoovering or frying food.

feel your pain... When i used to smoke i had to go outside in back garden. I would keep rechecking if i locked the door. Kept on thinking it was a trick of the eye that it appeared locked and is an illusion.

I have a habit of letting my paperwork pile up on my desk. receipts, paper with notes on it you name it.

Also have a habit of letting soft drink cans pile up next to my bin.....im counting 10 sitting there right now. :S

Also sit crossed legged even in an office chair like i am in a meditation. I find it comfortable.

When I drink a cup of tea, I always leave a little of it at the bottom of the cup :D
I DO THAT!!! People think I'm so weird, but I've always done that and now there's another freak like me in the world :D

I make the foil from chocolate bars into little 'trophies'.
I fiddle with and pull my hair out.

Talking to myself too, I usually make a verbal memo. "Right, I need to scrub the cats and hoover up then hang the washing out..."
Both the same with me, although the tea thing is because of the hard water where I live so our kettle always has limescale and you can get small bits in your drink...

I also talk to myself when I'm trying to rationalise arguments or go on about stupid views on forums and such, and pace around my room when I'm stuck with how to write something. Like this post, for instance.

I have a habit of playing minesweeper when I'm watching something on Netflix on my computer. If I don't have minesweeper there, I can't concentrate on what I'm watching.
