Personal habits.

[sky14kemea]

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.

Ohh yeah, forgot about Jaffa Cakes.

 

[teqrevisited]

I always tie empty crisp packets into bows. With regular crisps I always open the packet, crush the crisps into tiny bits and then pour them into my mouth because I hate getting greasy hands.

When I eat a proper meal I'll always eat one thing at a time and always in the same order. A trait that was somehow transferred from my namesake.

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.

I do that too, except I'll pick at anything loose. Scabs, peeling skin from a bad sunburn, if my nails are too long. I think it's gross but I just can't stop.

Hey, me too!
My lips are just the most common area my wandering fingers frequent.

 

[trollnystan]

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 too! I often turn off the lights with my foot when I have my hands full!

I tend to sit with with my legs tailor-style but with my knees almost parallel, one on top of the other. Or with one knee up against my face. I have hypermobile joints(I think it's called in English), especially my legs.[footnote]Anecdote: Once, during gym, they told us to sit, put the soles of our feet together and push our knees down towards the ground as a stretching exercise. When I told them that my knees touch the ground naturally when I do that they forbade me to sit like that.[/footnote] It freaks people out to no end >=D

My other odd personal habits? I bite my hair. I used to bite my fingernails but now I bite my hair. I HATE IT but I can't stop. Another reason I like having short hair.

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!"

I could go on with my weird habits. I live alone with two cats, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

 

[Daystar Clarion]

I never eat the very bottom of the banana, because I was, at a young age, convinced that spiders laid eggs there.

Why would you tell us that?! Now I'm thinking about it... The horror...

Oh sure, that horrifies you...

I keep condoms to make bracelets and hairbands out of them.

But this?

This is fine?

Strange indeed

 

[The Wykydtron]

I am always touching my face in some way... Fucking always. I have to do something with my hands so i'm probably messing with my hair or some other shenanigans.

Oh and I always use my knife and fork in the wrong hands. I can't bring myself to stop.

I have to have a ton of anime and manga open in my tabs just to remind myself that I need to watch them at some point. Actually got round to watching episode 16 of Hyouka today! Then I noticed it was Monday so the new one was already out. Fuckin' fuck...

It annoys me because I know i'd have destroyed all this backlog in a few days if I could marathon it like I used to be able to do... I can marathon it still but i'm always thinking "this might not be the best time, better save it for later" two weeks later...

The manga I can justify because there's an average of 20 pages per issue and I have an insane reading pace so I like to let them stack for a month or so so I get a good 15/20 minutes of entertainment out of it. Nothing is worse than going through the latest issue as soon as it comes out in about 2 minutes. It's never satisfying enough :/

 

[TheFrost]

Let's see,
besides living in a state of constant paranoia with all the odd habits such thoughts bring. (As an example I ALWAYS have to lock my bathroom door thrice even when no one is home).
I tend to chew my nails, I get uncomfortable sitting with my feet on the ground and I disassemble things I am holding like pens and letter openers while doing something where my attention isn't wholly needed like when I am watching TV.

 

[AgentLampshade]

I've got into the habit of saying "I'm Batman!" at my work (in Christian Bale's voice and all.) I'm just glad I work alone in a fridge.

What? They come in heaps of pretty colours and you're gonna throw them out anyway. May as well reuse them.

Why are you looking at me like that? Everyone's doing it!

Used condoms?

I do the same thing. No idea why...

...
What do you mean when you say 'keep'?

 

[Guffe]

Not sure really...
Dang this was a difficult one...
The least thing I can up with is that foten when poesing here I end my sentences with three dots...
Captcha: you rork...
seariously???

 

[EeveeElectro]

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

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

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..."

Hey Boudica, which end is the "bottom" of the Banana?
MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Funky bracelet and a reminder of good times.

You're just showing your age, you old coot

First time I've ever said it.

I'm glad I'm not younger...

Well obviously it's the... Well... I mean.. Clearly it's got to be the...

You monster... ;-;

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

If it makes you feel better, I'm afraid of spiders and this won't stop me eating bananas. Although I never eat the bruised parts.
But it may make you feel bad to know I'm on the other's side with the whole condom thing...and I'm 18.

 

[ReadyAmyFire]

Wow I feel boring. I just have to sleep in a specific position otherwise I'm not comfortable. Everything else I do is perfectly normal, yup yup.

 

[Fappy]

This thread has gotten so weird. Boudica should write a book, 1001 Uses for Used Condoms. I'd buy it.

1001: This books is also made from used condoms!

Not enough fire and soap in the world...

 

[Goofguy]

I think it's because you are all guys. Go ask your girlfriend or a female friend next time you see them. There's no way my school was the only one that had this.

And where, pray tell, did you attend school?

I'm in the same boat as Daystar and Matthew on this one, a bit weirded out by this habit of yours but honestly, somewhat intrigued.
