"Why do I keep doing this?" Small mannerisms of yourself that annoy you

[Cowabungaa]

Hello fellow Escapees,

So I was bored, and thought hell, lets make a topic about self-reflection. Everyone has habits, and usually lots of them, small and big. Some habits are good, others are annoying, and some are annoying only to yourself. The small one's that most people won't notice. So folks, here I am wondering what habits of yourself annoy you? I've got a few:
- The urge to close every door in a game.
- The need to make stuff symmetrical.
- I always want to have the final word. I'm quite sneaky about this, most of the times it's just a small remark, so most people don't notice it.

So Escapees, what are yours?

I bite my nails.
I have to have the final word in a conversation.
I lose the game, even though it's actually my fault.

 

[Amethyst Wind]

Imma put you two together and see who actually gets the last word. I will be listening, very closely.

As for me I have a tendency to touch my face with my hands and I don't realize it, when it does finally click I've been doing it for about an hour.

 

[Queen Michael]

I read a hundred books a year, and I sincerely think I don't read enough.

 

[Nieroshai]

Being OCD, I have loads of 'em. The most obvious and consistent, though, is my constant hand-scrubbing.

 

[Cxizent]

I get stuff caught in the back of my throat sometimes. That shit just ain't so; it has to come out. Noisily.

 

[DrunkWithPower]

Biting my nails and hiking my leg up on something while I play a game is the most I do.

 

[Rusman]

Biting my nails and I constantly touch my nose randomly in socially awkward situations and push my glasses up even if I am not wearing them.

I like to pick my nose
I listen to music, have the television on, and the fan blasted just to sleep
I reload my guns after a single kill

 

[Lukeje]

When I have my annual haircut I'm forever swishing my now-absent hair...

 

[Stalk3rchief]

I hate this about myself and about other people as well.
The 'polite laugh'
The act of laughing at a joke, not because it's funny, but to keep that persons' self confidence up. That would be fine and dandy if it didn't give them the false impression that they are funny. They'll keep on with that kind of humor and someone less polite gives them a rude awakening, thus, laughing at unfunny jokes can cause that person problems in the future. I do it, but I wish I didn't. It's just a habit.

 

[Jedoro]

I go unconscious every night for about six hours, and it's such a waste of time...

OT: I need it pitch black and dead silent to sleep, unless I'm really tired.

 

[pigeon_of_doom]

Trailing off an end of a sentence with the word "though. Such a limp conversational tic.

Also, stroking my facial hair. It ends up being distracting but I can't stop myself doing it, and I can't afford the products to shave everyday to keep myself clean-shaven.

Oh, and this:

When I have my annual haircut I'm forever swishing my now-absent hair...

 

[dazdex]

Bit of a strange one but I always start flushing the toilet even though I'm not finished peeing....

 

[SomeLameStuff]

I reload after every kill, even if I know there's someone coming. I just tap the damn reload button.

 

[Nalbis]

I reload after every kill, even if I know there's someone coming. I just tap the damn reload button.

This.
Also I bite my nails, not bad though.... just to keep them at a decent length. 'Cos i'm too lazy to get some sisscors or something else.

I also crack my neck (like when you crack nuckles) everyone seems to hate me doing that, but it feels so damn good!

 

[Arkhangelsk]

I'm loud (I'm in a family where you have to speak up to get your opinion out, so I got used to talking loudly), I bite my finger nails (I barely have any left), I hate when something's out of symmetry, I'm neurotic (although I try not to show), I have annoying mood swings from happy and depressed. Some of these things come from my slight case of OCD.

Also, everytime I've shot something in a game, I have to reload. A habit I have.
