Do you have any strange or interesting habits, or mannerisms?

Question

Joe: C'mon darlin', I'm a tough woman, I can take it. ;-)

Gnu & Teele: Funny enough, I do the same when enjoying the cool feel of the sheets against my feet. It's interesting to find out that others do it as well.

ET: Thank you girl, makes you all the more intriguing. :-)
Here are some of mine:
1. Like you, I have to take a shower before bed, or else I can't sleep, am a clean freak when it comes to personal hygiene.
2. Even though my eating habits aren't always table mannerly, I eat my waffles or any type of food that has lines or patterns, in a manner which maintains the linear order. My best friend has made fun of me for years about that.
3. My desk has to be organised, or I can't concentrate when writing, I really dislike having clutter all around me.
4. Whenever I'm nervous, I begin to lightly pull on my bottom lip.
5. When I read, I sometimes move my fingers as if I were playing the piano (the hand that is unoccupied), tapping on whatever my fingers are resting on.
6. When I'm thinking, usually play with my earlobes or bite my lip.
7. I always lock the door when taking a shower, habit from childhood, my ex used to complain about that, hehe.

ET: I often say "hon" as well, and "sweetie", "darling", "precious", etc. Perhaps it's somehow connected to our maternal instincts.

Answer 1

Yes plenty - but they're all gross and I don't want to drive you away so early in our relationship :))

Answer 2

Yes, I have several:

1- Nobody can sit on my bed. I HAVE to take a shower before sleep, otherwise I'll just toss and turn.
2- I put my hair in braids before going to sleep.
3I have to put coconut oil on the bottom of my feet before I go to sleep.
4- When I get nervous, I play with my hair, bite my lower lip and get real quiet.
5- When I sit in a chair for a while (using the computer, on the plane, movies etc) I put my feet up on the chair...kinda hug 'em...I'm barely 5'2" so it's more comfortable to put them up.
6- I sleep with the smooth R&B channel on, cuz I'm scared of the dark so the light from the TV and the music put me to sleep.
7- The first thing I do when I wake up is to check my mail, then turn CNN on in case something major happened while I was asleep.
8- When I have a visitor coming over, mostly my cousins or my parents, I put a "guest package" on the guest bed which includes lotion, tooth brush and towel. If the guest is staying long term, it also included flip flops and a robe. And make sure there are new candles in their bathroom, although they never use them...My family make fun of me saying I think I'm running a hotel business LOL
9- I have a habit of signing out loud when I'm driving.
10- I always call people when I'm on the treadmill---makes time go so much faster.
11- When I read something funny in emails or chat---I have a habit of re-reading it out loud and laughing out loud...I don't realize I'm reading it out loud sometimes, so my coworkers think I'm going crazy, talking to myself and laughing at my screen LOL
12- Finally, a habit that I'm trying to really get rid of. I call people "hon"...like if a guy is helping me at the grocery store to get milk...out of habit, I'd say "thanks hon"...I'm trying to pay attention tho' :(
You?

EDIT: I think you're right, cuz I do sweetheart and precious pretty frequently too...but it's more to make people feel appreciated...so yeah nurturing would make sense...cuz I'm pretty touchy/feely too...not with the milk guy LOL, but my friends and family...like I hug the HR lady at work every morning cuz she lost her husband a year ago so I feel like she needs affection...

Answer 3

I think Gnu and I are related somehow. I play with my hair--twist it, to be more specific, and rub my feet together in bed too. I don't think I have any other odd habits...oh, I can't sleep unless a window is open. Those aren't really interesting, just never heard anyone else say they rub their feet together like that.

Answer 4

I always start the coffee and then go to the PC
I always place the right shoe a little ahead of my left one when I take them off
I will often get into bed and lay on my left side or back but will never fall asleep until I roll on my left side
I always shave my face in the same order starting top right

Answer 5

I tilt my head to the right when I am listening attentively to someone, I arch my left eyebrow like Mr. Spock when I am dubious about something someone has said, I play with my hair when I am working on an intellectual problem (and I am told that's effeminate), and I rub my feet together in bed like a cricket.

Answer 6

Yeah, regularly going on Yahoo Answers is a strange habit.

Answer 7

Woahhhh that is weird! u got some intense dreams! maybe ur relationship with someone is gone and ur starting a new one...? just an idea lol. now u help me intrepret my dream of me falling into a lake with a guy drawing a tomato XD

Answer 8

One weird quirk I have is when I am getting really tired I unknowingly put my thumb between my pointer and long finger on both hands.

Answer 9

I crack all eight fingertips en masse against my temples, then follow up with a stereo thumb-pop.

The temple pop freaks people out sometimes...it's pretty loud, and people wonder if I did something painful and chiropractic to myself.

Answer 10

at school in almost every class i get some tape and rub it between my fingers and sometimes i catch myself talking with a lot of hand gestures
