weird habits that you have

[Shiruba]

Well, obviously we're all unique in some way - and each of us probably have our own little quirks that are really strange, off-putting, confusing, or some combination thereof.

Have some strange food ritual? Compulsively wall-sit when brushing your teeth? Sing the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire theme song every day after work for no real reason? Spill your guts, Smogon.

Personally I tend to crack the knuckles on my toes [dunno what they're called] and instead of eating at lunch time I walk around for half an hour to an hour usually because I get some really weird need to move around at that time.

I will grab a pen. Take off the pen cap. And fidget and fidget and fidget and spin it and do this for hours. I can't stop, it just is impossible too. When I see a pen in class I will stop what i'm doing and fiddle with it. It's like pen-sex but different.

 

[Arcticblast]

I post on Smogon.

 

[Perfect Cell]

When I stretch my arms I often pop out my shoulder out of it's socket.

also yeah cracking my fingers(knuckles?) so that they bend all the way to the back of my hand.

hoooly shit i've seen people do this and it's just wow
do you have to do anything special or can you just do it by virtue of genetics?

 

[Leafshield]

I have a HUGE knuckle cracking habit. It's bad to the point where all I have to do it clench my fist and I crack all my knuckles at once on that hand, sans the thumb. I can do it indefinitely as well. I'm pretty sure there's something not so healthy about that.

Other than that, I will, without fail, buy a can of tea from the vending machine at my school every morning, regardless. Even if I don't feel thirsty, or if I already had something to drink just that morning, I will always get tea. This is another thing I'm worried about.

 

[Perfect Cell]

I just do it naturally, really. I'm the only one in my family who's double jointed I think.

Perhaps I should post a picture later, assuming I can find someone to hold the camera and not shit themselves.

 

[Stratos]

whenever a paper at school has me filling out my class period, my mind invariably goes blank and i look at my watch, as if it will somehow have information about whether i am in first or third period at that time.

 

[JimBob]

When I have a song stuck in my head, I bob my head to the music.

 

[Hulavuta]

I crack my knuckles all the time, like some others have said.

Also, I often walk around while I eat. Like eating a sandwich with one hand as I walk circles around a counter or something.

 

[TGMD]

I often push on my right index finger until it hurts (no idea why), and I often crack my wrists.

 

[Acklow]

Whenever I take a phone call that isn't in my car, I tend to pace around a whole lot and wave my hands as if the person on the other line can see me.

 

[Tayla]

I don't dip my chicken fingers in honey mustard. I dip them in mashed potatoes. I do the same with popcorn shrimp cept in mac and cheese. No idea when this began.

reminds me of how i used to dip my french fries in frosties from wendy's before i became lactose intolerant. it was good, but the soy ice cream i eat now? sooooooo much better omg please try soy ice cream if you are not allergic i swear you will not regret it.
/sorry for random tangent

 

[Steamroll]

My shoulder joint slides into the socket so once every few hours I have to essentially 'dislocate' my shoulder in order to get full movement back. It sucks when you try to reach for something in a tight space and your arm only has 40% of its full movement.

-I habitually crack my knuckles the second I feel pressure in the joints, it can range between 2 minutes and a few hours.
-Whenever I'm not thinking I twirl objects in my hand, pens, cell phones, keys, etc.
-When I get into a car I always tap the door after I shut it, and I always smack the stick shift after shifting into a gear to make sure it actually is in that gear.

 

[inanimate blob]

Sometimes I bite my nails, it's not very manly.

I can crack every joint in my body, which I do on what seems to be an hourly basis.

I also will lose focus and rub the back of my teeth with my tongue.

 

[Ra1chu]

I don't eat licorice by chewing it. I suck them like a vampire draining them of their sweet red essence.

reminds me of how i sometimes make slurping noises when i'm using an hp draining move like giga drain on an opponent.

don't judge. :c

Judged. Sentenced. Guilty.

If I get my socks wet or my shirt stained I have to immediately or as soon as possible change out of it. I can't ever leave the kitchen without checking the cupboards I know have nothing new in them, nor the fridge, and if I use the faucet I'll walk away then swing back to make sure I turned it off, check the fridge door too. I'll check the door to the house when I leave to make sure it's locked three or so times. Whenever I download something, I double check the download box and the folder its in when I finish just to make sure.

I could go on.

 

[Mulligan]

I also twirl and fidget with small objects in my hand, especially if I'm not focused on anything atm.

My first car had a bad flywheel so it randomly wouldn't start and would make a very loud and embarrasing noise. I would always leave the car door open before starting that car. I'm on my fourth car and don't have said issue, but I still leave my door open before starting up to this day.

Lurking Smogon has become a TERRIBLE habit lately in the big scheme of things (said no Smogonite ever) :(

I think I purposely don't keep a watch as an accessory because when I do have one I'm constantly looking at the time for no reason, which worries me. I don't do this with my phone bcoz not as convenient etc

I constantly snack on favorite foods even when I'm not the slightest bit hungry.

*looks at newly formed gut*

I am paying for it dearly :(

Stopping b/c tangent

Me too.

 

[shilly]

i ALWAYS have to be crossing my legs when im sitting in a chair and because of that my legs are not in their best state of health :(

 

[Steamroll]

lol Outlaw that's sounds like minor paranoia. Don't get me wrong I often check the fridge even if nothing is in there, it's just like I magically expect something to disappear I guess.

Another one for the topic. Whenever I get into a seat on a roller coaster I always tap my pockets for my keys, my phone, and my wallet, then press the lap bar/restraint (depends on the roller coaster) to make sure it engages properly. On some older looping coasters I also do as many pull ups as I can before they release the restraints (they get locked in the open position for boarding/unboarding) so that riders can get checked, last time I did it I got 8.

 

[Darkaxis]

If I go to someone's house, I need to go to their bathroom to "wash my hands". I then judge the entire family on how their bathroom is arranged and how it looks.

 

[Zebstrika]

Like a lot of the other posters I am another knuckle cracker. I crack 2 knuckles on each finger (besides thumbs) and also crack my toes pretty much any time I think about it that's been a few minutes since I last did it.

I always scratch around my mosquito bites. Scratching a lump feels weird.

Pacing with a laptop.

I like shorts! They're comfy and easy to wear! (yeah I wear shorts whenever I can get away with it)
