Habits/Weird shit we do

[F34R]

What are some of your habits(good/bad)? can be current and longest enduring habits etc. Weird habit shit too, abnormal blah blah.

Obviously I will start off:

My longest running habit started from what my Mother says is age 1. I am addicted to rubbing silk like material together in a scratching sensation. I know two other people that share this habit. So I have a 25 year habit lol, tried to break it over 10 times now. Always comes back.

So bad I cannot sleep if I don't do it.

Trying to break a REALLY bad habit of cursing and get back into proper clean speaking. I hate hearing it...but I curse like a Sailor.

one of my front teeth overlaps the other slightly, and I catch myself multiple times a day attempting to push it back into place. It runs in the family I guess because me, my brother, my father, all the way back to my grandmother have the same one. And we all try and push it back from time to time. So in a way, we share a 3 generations long habit. :P

And I could probably throw biting my nails and the bits of skin around them from before i exited the womb in here too...
I count how many steps I take in between cracks on the ground as well.

I recently broke the habit somewhat of raising my arm straight up when I try to sleep. Like locked elbow straight into the air. Dunno why but it's relaxing to me and it helps me sleep. But like I said as of late I don't do it as much since Im super exhausted from work and whatnot I just knock out before thinking of doing my habit.

Also, if I eat at a crabshack and have shrimp, I have to line up the shrimp heads and tails in an orderly fashion.

^This....I hate hearing it, but it's hard to stop.

I grind my teeth pretty much all the time, even if just lightly. I do it unless I am consciously trying to hold my jaw 'slack'.

Not so much a habit but with almost all long sleeve shirts, except maybe dress/button-down shirts/some sweaters, I pull my sleeves up about 3/4 to my elbow. It's just more 'comfortable' to me. As well, my t-shirts can't be too long, like if they hang down past the bottom of my zipper, it drives me nuts. Sometimes i'll flip really long ones up under my belt buckle.

Jeez, now that I write some of this stuff down, it sounds wierd.

Well,speaking of food, an awful habit I do quite often is, if I'm eating a bowl of cereal such as lucky charms I have to eat all the brown pieces first, and if a single marshmallow makes it into my mouth I have to spit it out... xD same goes for salad. No matter how bad I want the tomato,I have to wait until all the lettuce is gone. It really sucks .. I've been doing it for as long as I can remember...

I scratch/chew on the on skin on the sides of my fingernails. I also chew on my lower lip quite a bit. I've stopped both for brief periods of time, but it's hard to break bad habits.

When I eat, I have to keep food separated, cannot touch eachother. I eat each item, one at a time. Usually veggies first, then side dish them entree. I have other habits, but I have this habit of not liking to type a lot.

I have a habit of being awesome.

Teeth grinding all the time.

I curse like a motherfucker but can regulate it to, eh, appropriate occasions.

I never put shit away, unless I'm in my house. This accounts for hundreds of dollars in replacing 10, 13, and 17mm sockets.

I segregate my M&Ms. Then eat the minority first and go in ascending order.

I have to take my shirt off when I poop.

Bite fingernails and skin around it, bite my lips, chew on inside of cheek....theres probably more but I can't remember...

[frankenbeemer]

I have this terrible habit of tactless truthfulness.

A very bad habit I have and its almost without thinking, I check my nose a lot...I pick a little, rub it, pick again, wipe it, scratch it, pick again. This really goes on all day. I think its a fear of having boogies showing...I want to keep it clean.

Poop parachutes, shit will just follow you.

I'm obsessive compulsive about using napkins while eating away from home. Piles of them!
