Your strange habit(s)

What's your's?

I'm not talking superstitions such as not walking under ladders, over cracks in pavements, etc. Just something odd that you do.

When I used to sit in the back of my parents car when I was younger I would grind my teeth in between each passing car going in the opposite direction.

Now I, without fail, sniff my fingers after scratching my arse.

Putting a teaspoon of coffee into a cup, no matter how much went in or heaped it was I always have to add a little bit more via a second 'dab' into the jar. Highly irritating.

I am completely unable to walk up or down any flight of stairs without counting them.

I talk to myself all the time, and also have an annoying habit of cracking my neck by tilting my head to one side.

On our inset day, we had a school wide training day on autism. I fitted in quite a few categories.

I also count steps when attacking them. I turn repetitive sounds into songs/rhymes. I tap my fingers of one hand in quantities of three, starting from the pinky and have to complete the set until I end with the thumb. There's probably a lot more, but I can't think of them.

I think I will now develop the habit of washing my hand after shaking hands with greyseagull.

you're scaring me now, I'm thinking of that T Bag in Prison Break, you don't hang your pocket outside your trollies do you?

Sit in a bath then run it, so at the start I'm sitting in an empty tub. It means you can make the bath really hot, without the awkward '**** this is really hot' stage of getting in.

Other time I'll have a shower with the bath plug in, and shower for 10 minute while the bath runs then have my bath as usual.

I also do this and I don't know why.

If it's raining whilst I'm a passenger in a car, I blink every time the windshield wipers line up with a lamp post. :shrug:

I keep setting fire to bins whilst going outside with just my coat and jumping out on people.

Every time I do this I always wear my watch for some reason on my left wrist instead of my usual right wrist, weird?

One of my housemates has to have the volume on the TV turned to a round number, ending in 5 or 0.

I used to enjoy having a nice hot bath. Waiting for it to cool. Get out. Fill it up with hot water again. Then deliberatly get cold - maybe going outside. Then jumping back in. Lovely.

Is that like boiling a frog without it jumping out?

I cannot stand still while on the phone.

That sounds like a marvellous idea. I might have to try that next time.

Probably where I got the idea from. Before I did this I'd get in the bath and spent the whole time thinking to myself how bloody hot it was :rant:

Why would you stand on a phone?

Eeyore · May 1, 2014

I have an obsession with neat writing, which dates back to childhood. Most people who have read it say it is the neatest they have ever seen. The drawback, in the days before e mail, was that if I wrote something that wasn't neat enough I had to write it again.

Don't stand still it will break. The trick is to keep moving and keep the foot on the phone with a light touch. Taken me a while but I have marred it now. Don't stand still.
