Is it just me, or do people have some weird-ass habits? I'll list mine, you list yours, we'll compare and contrast, and you will have wasted at least a half an hour on me. 8D Sounds good!
First of all, I refuse to be in the bathroom when I brush my teeth. I walk around my house (or outside) while brushing, and only go back in to rinse. I'm pretty much the grand-master of not dripping toothpaste everywhere, so it works out.
Recently I've gotten into the habit of going through lists of recently submitted art and deleting ones I don't want to look at, but not actually viewing the ones I want to see. I do this for about a week, then I'll go through ALL the ones I want to see at once, rinse, and repeat. Does anyone else do this? >__> Maybe this is how normal, busy people do things.
I can't think of other weird habits. I apologize to inanimate objects when I run into them and to spiders when I break their webs accidentally, I tap my fingers when they're not doing anything, and I grind my teeth all the time (and therefore now chew gum all the time). BORING.
Tell me your habits. 8D I want to knowwww~

I refuse to eat at a table with someone not respecting manners. People who eat too quickly, with their mouth open letting me hear the *cic ciac* of the food being eaten, people who don't keep their hands on the table all the time or put an elbow on it. I can't stand it.
I try whenever possible to wear suit and tie
I eat my fingers and my nails.
Everyday after lunch I sleep till 3 pm
When I go somewhere I freak people out speaking to them in English and laugh listening to them struggling to answer me (I'm Italian)
And so on.
Wow, you sleep every day after lunch? XD I should try that, it sounds awesome.
Haha, aw, poor people. x3 They should have studied harder. XD
Usually about half an hour especially when I have some tough period at school with lots and lots of tests.
Since my normal schoolday starts at 6 am and I only get back home at 2 after a 10 mile commute (10 going, 10 back), I need it.
If school started at 6 that's be BAD, very bad
I've inherited packrat. I hoard things that're useless to the rest of my life, only to throw them out 4-5 years later. This, despite my hate for the obsolete.
I make my workspaces symmetrical, clutter-wise.
I never butter my bread.
My hands are NEVER idle. They have to be doing something. Typing, playing with my hair, playing with any random object that happens to be within my reach... Never are they doing nothing at all.
If I'm writing a short story, I physically write it out on paper, re-write it on more paper to correct mistakes, and THEN type it up. I cannot just type a story. my creativity won't work that way. Things need to be on paper for me, before moving on to final.
I sing. A lot. I don't have a singing voice, but I'm always singing. And if not singing, then whistling. I find a song for things people say to me. Example... I was walking with a friend, and she said it was hot walking with our backs turned to the sun. So I sang, "Walk away from the sun, come slowly undone / I can see in your eyes I've already won". She then proceeded to thank me for having a song for everything.
You never butter your bread? D8 But...it would be so dry and crumbly. D8888
Yeah, I don't know if it's a nervous tic or something, but my fingers always end up moving when I'm not paying attention. I think that's why I type so fast. >.>;
I can't write stories out on paper. My brain goes too fast and my hands are tards, so I have to type it. xD You sound like my friend, she has to do at least two sketches on crappy paper before she will do a final piece on good paper.
XD Aw, that's cute. I sing when I talk to people, and I hum a lot or sing when I'm alone. I also dance when I'm alone (or not, depending on how much I care at that particular moment). You have a song for everything, and I can dance to everything...we should make a band. Done, done, and DONE. 8D
A band? 8D A band! What fun!!
I dance alone as well, but only if the weather isn't hot. If the weather is hot/muggy, such as it is today, I get super lethargic and won't move.
OH SNAP. HERE'S ANOTHER ONE.
When I'm cleaning my ears out with Q-tips, I fall asleep where I'm standing. Yes. I fall asleep.
When my sister and father clean their ears out, they choke.
I get super tired when it's hot out. It's almost like heat-related narcolepsy. >_>; I walk outside and if it's hot, I just draaaaag my feet until I get somewhere, or if I have nothing to do I collapse in a chair and sleep until I get horribly sunburnt. XD If I'm reading AND outside AND it's warm, I basically go into a coma.
o_O Your family has some sort of genetic anti-ear cleaning adaptation. Maybe you have giant brains, so your body is trying to tell you not to poke anything in your ear, lest you skewer your brain and die a horrible death. 8D
I talk to myself a lot, usually because I am alone most of the time.
I like lists. I make them for EVERYTHING from school and personal projects to what I want to buy at the store to what I want to do during the day. If its not in list form, there is a good chance I wont do it.
I always check the shower thoroughly before getting in for any insects.
I inspect every glass, plate or utensil before I use it. This is usually something I do at home, I wont usually do it if I am at someone else's house or a restaurant.
I almost always have a hair tie on my wrist...I just started doing that in recent history because of my job (my hair gets in my face when I am filing), and...various other reasons where my hair annoys me.
I always check my mail and main websites when I first wake up and right before I go to bed. I usually check them several times in between that but, Ill ALWAYS check first thing when I wake up, and last thing before bed. This is assuming I am at home, if i am out and about or something, I wont usually touch my computer at all.
I apparently always rub my feet together right before I fall asleep. People tell me this, I don't really realize when I am doing it. I also do it if I am super comfortable.
Key fob is always in my right pocket with chapstick. Debit card in the left with my phone (sometimes my ID too, depending on the situation). I'm a girl who appreciates pockets.
I try to travel as lightly as possible. Ill only bring what I NEED, so that usually means the arrangement listed above.
meh, thats enough for you!
I settle in to chairs and couches when they're comfortable. I kind of wiggle around until I find the perfect spot, and THEN I relax. I try not to do this around other people. XD
I need more pockets. I need better clothing. >___>; When I am let loose in a clothing store, I inevitably pick the most horrible, lame clothing to buy. Subsequently my new pairs of pants have TINY pockets, which I can barely fit my cell phone in, much less other things I need. LAME.
