An odd quirk/habit?

Although I have not been officially diagnosed.. I am sure I have RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome) My legs are ALWAYS bouncing, shaking, twitching, or otherwise moving. Most of the time, I don't realize I am doing it. It drives everyone around me NUTS

I have a bad habit of putting a straw in mouth and when I am bored and I need to break that habit because my hubby hates that habit. I am sure I have more but for the life of me I can't think of it right now.

[i]Hi Grandpa B, I have no idea really about mine but one time, my friend called my attention and asked me why is that when I am txting, I keep on wiping the screen of my phone using my index finger and when he makes me realize that I was also asking myself why! I have no clue..LOL! makes me do something while thinking what to type next! LOL![/i]

I don't have any odd quirks or habits. hahahaha But I am sure if you ask others around me they would say different. I guess I have a touch of OCD in me when it comes to numbers. I have a thing with numbers and I seem to like odd numbers more than the even numbers. I have certain things that I don't like for them to get out of place, not at all. One thing are my pictures that I have out in frames.

hi Grandpa Bob. yes we all do have some odd habits, like me when I am stressed or sitting here typing and make a lot of typos, I find myself grabbing a lock of my hair and chewing on it, I guess I have had this habit for years. My husband used to tease me, and say, " Does that taste good?" Then I would drop the hair and realize how bizarre that looked. I have really tried to break this habit and usually catch myself in time to stop it, but every so often I still find myself doing this. I really know its not a good thing so why on earth do I do it?

When I eat nuts or popcorn or nuts and bolts I use a spoon. I only do it when I'm at home, I don't ask for a spoon with my popcorn at the movies or anything like that. I just can't stand having greasy or messy stuff on my hands and fingers. I'm sure it looks a little odd when I'm eating a jar of nuts with a spoon but what works works!

My husband has the habit of drinking out of the jug. I hate that habit, he thinks it is okay since it is just me and him living in our home. I guess my quirk is that I eat and like Peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. My husband thinks that is strange.

When I was young I used to dip bread with butter into tea. My mum and my family used to hate me for doing this but for some reason or another I always found this delicious. © ronaldinu 2008

I have a waistlenght hair and I guess it is indeed a strange habit for me that I keep smelling it. LOL! I also use it to cover my nose when I am on board public transportation especially to avoid scents or smells that are too overpowering. I am also a bit over attentive to my hair because aside from shampooing and putting lots of conditioners on it everyday, I also tend to treat it at most 2x a week just to make sure it is soft and smooth. I guess its my sole claim to vanity.

OOPS here I thought it was absolutely normal to lick off the drips from your coffee cup. I was always told it's good to the last drop. I guess what I do that everyone thinks is insane is when I dish up my food I don't want my food items to touch one another. I hate food all mixed up, to me that's a dogs breakfast.

My daughter has caught me with one I never even realized I had. She says I pull my lip up just before I put food in my mouth like I'm baring my teeth. She makes fun of me. I started paying attention to myself and found that, yeah, I do that. Apparently, I'm very averse to getting any food on my upper lip, so I keep it out of the way. That's the only reason I can think of. I've tried to NOT do it and, MAN, it's hard!! And, I never even knew!

I get teased by my family because i eat clockwise around the plate and only one food at a time. I finish one food and go on to the next. ALWAYS save the meat (the best) for last!

Ok, I'm one of those weird ones that doesn't like their food to touch. I work very hard at keeping the beans separate from the coleslaw, or the meat away from the rice. Silly considering it all goes into the same place, but I've been that way all my life. For really drippy foods I even bought myself some of those school lunch trays at a garage sale - they are all divided so food doesn't have to touch and has its own compartment. LOL

right now there is nothing i can think of that is currently going on, but an odd and weird habbit i used to have, and have since stopped, was that i would pinch the skin on my neck, to the point that it would become bruised and red, and would hurt. For some reason i couldn't stop, so i started wearing turtle neck shirts so that i couldn't do it and eventually i was able to stop

I have a habit of blowing bubbles with my chewing gum.

I'm a clean freak about things that go into my mouth. So, I rinse my plate in between servings at dinner time, even if I'm the one who was eating off the plate. I just don't like putting food over top of a sloppy plate!

I just can't eat my food without some pepper sauce sitting on the table in case I decide i want to use it. And then when I do use peppersauce, it must be hot, hot,hot and burning my mouth.

one thing i couldnt do is lick the side of a cup mug or glass.the very thought makes me feel queasy. When i was younger, living at home with my mum and dad, i would not drink or eat off anything unless i had washed it up myself. even now , i have my own knife, fork and dessert spoon indoors and woe betide anyone who uses them. that includes my special cat mug. when i peg my washing out, it has to be in groups, socks paired together, underwear together, shirts etc., and normally colour co-ordinated! i dont chew my hair, its too short, but 2 years ago, before i had it all cut off, it was nearly long enough for me to sit on. and yes i would twirl my hair on the left hand side only , round and round my finger when i was watching tv or writing. Now i pull my fringe at the front a lot, i think this is to hide my wrinkles hahaha ;-) another weird thing when i was little , i used to pull my eyelashes out . no idea why. it didnt hurt but i would keep on doing it.

Hmmm, let's see. Oh! I have a habit of saying 'Hmmm, let's see'. Nah, actually, I used to 'bite' my fork when eating. Apparently, it drove my mother crazy because one day she belted out, "Please, stop biting your fork!" So, I made a conscience effort to stop doing that and it worked. The only odd thing I can say that I do now is to play with my hair. I take a chunk of hair and constantly twist it up, wind it up around my finger, then let it go only to do it again... and again... etc. I was told that was a nervous habit but I think it's more of a bored habit. I need something to do with my hands. I've always been a restless person. I can sit still and watch a movie or something on TV, but I need to be doing something with my hands. Normally, I'll knit, crochet, make jewelry, whatever. But, if the movie is particularly interesting and I want to actually WATCH it as opposed to LISTENING to it, I'll start to play with my hair. Hmmm... maybe that's why I've always liked my hair long? It gives me something to do with my hands! Aha! An epiphany!!! Take care, Grandpa Bob!

oooh good question i couldn't think so i asked my boo and he said the smelling things before i eat or drink them is a little strange. I have a really sensitive nose and can tell when milks a day or two off turning and meats not right just something i've always been able to do so it's become a habit to check everything first. I also have a sesitive stomache so it illimates me getting ill or less ill than if i didn't check. God i sound precious don't i lmao i'm sensitive!!! blah
