I have an uncontrollable habit of talking about Canadians too much.  Part of the reason I was banned from another board  ;D

I used to do that, but not in years.  Now that I saw your post, I've started doing it again.  Gee, thanks  ::)

and bite my nails. and my lower lip.

I read that cracking your knuckles was recently proven to actually HELP prevent arthritis by pushing out all the gas in your ligaments... so it's not a BAD habit.. but I do have it.

I tend to chew at my loose skin a lot, twitch sometimes... I also tend to scratch both sides of my face, even when one isn't itchy, cause I feel imbalanaced and I need symmetry.. same reason I tend to step exactly twice to every sidewalk block... or the closest even number I can.

I can't watch Tv unless the sound is on an even number. More of a quirk than a habit, though.

But, then again, I guess not odder than my tendency to walk around tiles like a chess knight!

LOL  I used to do something similar to that.  After I was done watching TV at night, I would have to change the channel to an even number before I turned it off.

cracking my knuckles
repeating myself 20 Million times

Subject: Re: Habits?

Written By: Tia on 11/28/05 at 4:37 pm

anyone else ever do this -- say "what?" when you actually heard what the person said, you're just stalling while you think of a response?

i had to really crack down on myself for that one. this dude i work with does it all the time, and one of these days i'ma howl "you heard me muthauckerfay" and climb over the table and throttle him.

poor anger management, another of my bad habits...

Subject: Re: Habits?

Written By: ultraviolet52 on 11/28/05 at 4:44 pm

I have done that where I ask someone what they just said but I heard them afterall. I think it's because my brain is still processing it and when they begin repeating it then it makes more sense and I remember what they told me... It's a weird thing.. I can't explain it..

Subject: Re: Habits?

Written By: jackas on 11/28/05 at 5:07 pm

Yeah, I do that too.  The second I ask them what they said, I realize what it was that they said.  I also think that it's just my brain processing the info slowly.  It usually only happens when I don't expect that person to ask me a question and I'm not totally paying attention to them. 

Subject: Re: Habits?

Written By: quirky_cat_girl on 12/15/05 at 6:49 pm

I crack my knuckles, neck, wrists....basically anything that cracks on my body.
I bite my fingernails when they are uneven.
I bite the inside of my mouth
I lock the doors as soon as we come in (which most would say would be a good habit, but it annoys my husband)
I don't like crumbs, dirt, mess....so as soon as I see it...I hurry and wipe it up. I follow Vaughn around with damp paper towels to clean up his many messies! LOL!
I twitch my nose.

Subject: Re: Habits?

Written By: Morton on 12/15/05 at 6:53 pm

I crack my fingers
I get easily annoyed at stupid little things and usually end up hitting them
I doodle and draw on everything
I say idiotic things without thinking
I argue with my teachers a lot
I have a bad short-term memory (I forget things from a few days back - ie homework, deadlines etc)
I ALWAYS have a piece of chewy in my mouth, whether at school, at home or at work
I swear a lot, especially when i'm annoyed
I sleep a lot during the day (sometimes even in lessons)

There are more that i'll post when I can remember them

I don't know if it is a habit or an OCD but I have
to have my money in my right front pocket.All the
heads have to face the same way and in order with
the ones outside.When I fold it in half the heads must
face inside.When I see someone pull money out of their
pocket in total disarray it drives me nuts.

I do the same thing.  I am just anal though.  Although I have had OCD quirks off and on in my life.

I get the change out of my pocket, arrange it by denomination so the nickels, pennies, quarters, etc., are all grouped together, and then I dump it back into my pocket where it all gets mixed up again.

oh gawd, we're all lunatics. lol.

I always walk a full circle around my car before I back out of my driveway... I'm always paranoid that there will be a little kid on a tricycle or a cat or something behind my car.

That's probably smart, actually. I'm always afraid there will be a cat sleeping behind one of my tires, but I don't actually look.

I always check for cars when I do turns, but I'm always forgetting to check for pedestrians walking against the flow of traffic. One of these days I'ma kill somebody.

I do that same thing!  I just drive right out to the end of the driveway, I don't even check the sidewalk.

Oh and I almost forgot... when I'm at a casino playing roulette, I repeatedly pick up a stack of chips, and then let the chips fall out of my hand one at a time...then when the whole pile is back on the table, I pick it up and do the same thing again.

When I'm talking on the phone while sitting at a computer I clickclickclick the mouse, selecting and deselecting text at random. One of my coworkers had to basically come at me with a letter opener before I realized I was doing it.

Oh yeah and another thing... when my husband is driving and I can tell he's about to change lanes, I always check his blind spot for him... because I feel like he's not checking it.  He hates it when I do that.

Whenever my dad drives and my mom's in the passenger seat, anytime he does something that makes her nervous she always puts her foot up on the glove box door like it was a brake pedal.

This probably isn't the best habit, but I am always paranoid of someone hitting me from behind so I am constantly scanning my rear view mirror when I'm stopped somewhere when I probably should be staring ahead of me (which I eventually do, lol)
