Strange habits?

[pyrod]

Let's se now I sit like L from Death Note, I do naruto hand signs when I'm bored, I rub my head on beds for no apparent reason, if I move my head in one direction I must move it to the other direction about 5 times and I try to maintain stealth when I do anything

I have a very specific method I follow for cracking my knuckles/neck/back or it just isn't satisfying for some reason. I tent my fingers to pop the first 3 fingers, press-pop my pinky knuckle, then pop my wrists in both directions, then comes the neck and finally the back.

 

[Pimppeter2]

I sleep talk apperently

I have to make sure that all my pics and messages are deleted on my phone before I hand it over

 

[ShockValue]

I can't stay in one spot for too long, so I'm constantly running around. It's not uncommon to see me running around my house for no apparent reason.

 

[seaofpain]

im a little paranoid always lock the door,sleep with my pocket knife half open infront of me,always look around on the street,can be touched and i cant bath without getting up and checking if anyones there :/

 

[Knonsense]

I chew on my mustache and occasionally the non-facial hair that eminates from my scalp (is there an actual term for that other than just "hair" for when you need to be specific?).

 

[ThrobbingEgo]

Sometimes I whisper, "I know you're listening." Just in case...

Okay, I stole that one from XKCD. Uh, around friends I often punctuate sentences with the word ", *****" because I like the dramatic effect.

 

[scotth266]

I drool in my sleep sometimes. No idea why, and it's random as to whether it happens.

I pace a lot while listening to music: it helps my creativity a LOT.

 

[manicfoot]

I say weird things when I get stressed out by a game (usually street fighter) such as "ahhh shit my neck out of my ear" and "chiseled fear!" Thankfully I don't have a headset

 

[Nickflip]

I gesticulate CONSTANTLY when I'm talking. Also, when I get angry I change the pitch of my voice involuntarily...

 

[sin keon]

Idk if this is uncommon or not, but when I sleep, if the room im in has a door, it MUST be shut. It will just bother me if its open. >.<

I do this whatever room I'm in, It'll haunt me out of the corner of my eye untill I shut it

Yeaaaa. And ppl always walk in and then leave with the door wide open. >.<
Bugs the frickin hell outta me!

same here, my little brother does it like every time he enters my room and it freaking me out >0. not to mansion that I have a asked him like a thousand times to shut the damn door for once he wont do it till I ask him to.

I tend to rub carpet-like surfaces. Also, some of those stone floors with the different rectangles I see, I avoid stepping on the small squares. And with square tile floors, I avoid stepping on a tile with a chair or table leg on it or any in the imaginary line of tiles from that tile. And you know those black rubber things on the low parts of walls in schools and some buildings? I avoid stepping on the tiles in the same row as the breaks in the black rubber things. Now that I mention it, I play a lot of games with the floor and how I walk.

same thing, I can't stop playing these games with my mind, sometimes it really annoys me and even if I tell myself not to do it these little games inside my mind will just start over in like ten seconds.

 

[LeonLethality]

I CANNOT sleep without a fan on, if someone turns it off mid sleep i seem to instantaniously wake up

Me too! It drives my husband nuts!

I also cannot eat food that has touched other food. If mashed potatoes touch the chicken, that part of the chicken gets cut off and fed to the cat (or thrown away).

scarily alike, i cant eat foods that have touched unless intentional, also, i cant stand most music even my own when im trying to sleep or subtle voices, its must only be like the furnace or a fan to sleep anything else will drive me nuts

 

[Aunel]

whenever I hear the name of a song I have it stuck in my head until I hear the next song, so if someone says something like, "I'm an assassin" (just an example, I don't know any assassins) I have the Assassin tune in my head until somebody says the name of another song.

 

[The_Angry_Haruhist]

I pace around in circle when I'm alone and thinking about something. Not sure why, probably helps me think I guess. Also, I have a strange tendancy to mess with my hair when I'm exicited and/or energic.

i swear you speak my gospel.

haha, i try. XD

Oh god, this!

Also, sometimes while websurfing I'll reach over and squeeze my boob with the hand not holding the mouse.

Yes, I'm female before y'all ask.

Haha, wow. Thats just a lil strange...

Yea, my bro has been in and out of my room enough that he knows he has to shut it now. >.<

OMG. My friend(we call him gizmo) changes his voice to a much higher pitch when he gets real angry.

 

[Sindaine]

Yeah, I guess maybe it is. Dunno why I do it.

Probably my worst habit is that I tend to chew the shit out of the collars of whatever shirt I happen to be wearing. It's something that came about from gaming and extensive computer use, I tend to only do it when sitting at a computer or in front of a TV. I've gotten it under pretty decent control of late, but I noticed it happening again now that my stress level is high.

Also a strange habit of mine, I cannot sleep at night without one of a very specific few stuffed animals under my arm. It used to be one in particular, a wrinkles dog I've had since I was 7 or 8. That dog became so worn out, that in around 2005 I had to adjust to a different animal lest I ruin it completely. So over the course of a year, I came accustomed to this trio of near-identical bears made by Fiesta. Instead of the wrinkles dog, I now sleep with any one of these three bears under my arm every night, no matter where I am. Of the 1000+ stuffed animals I own, it HAS to be one of these three, or I literally will not sleep. And if they come dislodged from under-arm while sleeping, I tend to wake up (fully or partially) and grope around until I find it again.

That's funny.

1,000 stuffed animals? Now I don't feel so wimpy. I have 83 and counting.

Another this is when I'm making a sandwich, I have to have it made the way it came out of the bread bag. If it's not in the right order, I won't eat it. It's weird, I know...

You and me both. And for me, it has to be cut diagonally from the top left to the bottom right. No idea why I'm like that, I just am. I also say "out" and "about" like a Canadian, even though I'm from Michigan, and we typically don't pronounce it that way.

Dad? Kidding of course. I'm actually from Michigan too. Originally right near the MI/OH border outside of Toledo, but now I live in Kzoo. Just had Oberon day a few days ago.

Nice... I live just south of Detroit, kinda where that ghetto bubble reaches it's limits. Gotta love the weather here though. You can have a blizzard and a heatwave in the same day.

That's Michigan for you.

You know you're in Michigan if you use the heater and the air conditioner in the same day.

I always need to feel something in my hands It's weird. I always need to be touching something, When I'm in the hall at school my hand is dragging across the wall.

Me, too!

I also play with my beard a lot. Occasionally when I'm really bored in a class, I'll start pulling out the hairs that feel all twisted and screwed up.
I have a friend who grabs any and everything sticky he can see and will play with it for hours on end. Just pushing it against his fingers and such. When he's done, he usually stores it in his hat for later. This guy literally carries around a page of stickers or labels.

Your friend is weird! jk, heheh.

He's def using the 'I have this friend trick' well I'm not falling for it dammit!

Nah. Otherwise the beard thing would have been a cousin or close relative.
Also, while I walk sometimes while coming up with DnD or Star Wars campaign ideas I'll start making random sound effects. I tend to scare normal people when they overhear me =)

I do that, too. Not word for word, but still.

I am an extremely tactile person and play with my beard. A LOT!

I'm a tactile person, too. I'm never seen without a rubber band. My nickname is the Rubber Band Man. I hate people.

Oh, and I have OCD, too.First attempt at white text. How many other colors are available, I wonder?
