[quote=blackhole89]Let's see...

If there's any small, plastic objects nearby while I concentrate on something (e.g. programming), I inevitably unconsciously pick them up and start chewing on them.

I often speak in a tediously slow and considerate manner, using words and grammatical structures that normally never would occur in spoken language or often even post-1900AD literature.

I often look over my shoulder or generally around me in a manner that might make other people think I am paranoid.

I tend to stare at people to a point they are highly disturbed or think I am a psycho. The reason for that is that I just keep looking at whatever I just was looking when I change from "optically evaluate environment mode" into "thinking about not related to real world matters mode".

In conversations, on the other hand, I tend to notoriously look away from my conversation partner.

I use internet speech a lot in real life. You will hear me saying "lol", "rofl" and even "XD" (as in the single letters).

I tend to become clumsy in a funny way when I think about different things than what I am doing at the moment (which is 99% of the time).

The "eat stuff I can't stand just so it doesn't get thrown away" thing Metal Man88 mentioned applies for me as well.

I tend to close my eyes when I nod in agreement or shake my head in disagreement of something for no apparent reason.

When idle, I start humming or whistling random melodies.[/quote]

182077607309.34 + Posts: 210/218	Originally posted by Kailieann When eating a meal, I never take a few bites of one thing then move on to something else. I always eat one type of food at a time -- for example, if I had a plate with turkey, mashed potatos, and peas on it, I would eat all the peas first, then eat all the turkey, then all the potatos. … I refuse to take headache medicine, unless my head is really splitting. I don't like the idea of taking painkillers when it isn't strictly necessary. Originally posted by NintendoFB I know this is quite common, but not stepping on the cracks while walking on a sidewalk; I take different steps every time to avoid it. Originally posted by Metal Man88 A dislike for wasting any food, whatsoever. I'll eat stuff I hate just so it doesn't get thrown out. Unless I really don’t like it, or it’s spoiled or something. Originally posted by Pvt. Prinny When I get excited, I have to stand up. When I start thinking, I have to walk. And not just pacing walk, I mean from one end of the house to the other. Originally posted by Thexare My room's a mess, but I'm annoyed by (and sometimes try to fix) any disorganization in a store. Originally posted by HyperHacker I look around randomly. Originally posted by cpubasic12 I daze off easily… Originally posted by Kirby Mario When I am bored off my mind, I usually I stare at something and lose my train of thought. Originally posted by Pac I hate eating around people I don't know. Originally posted by blackhole89 In conversations, on the other hand, I tend to notoriously look away from my conversation partner. Originally posted by n3g-Z3r0 theory I tend to twitch alot while sitting down. Originally posted by Danielle I daydream a lot about random, unimportant things. Sometimes I even create events to daydream about. Originally posted by ibz10g If someone doesn't tell me how to do something precisely, even if it's just common sense, I won't do it. I usually just stand there and keep asking questions about how to do it, or try to do it, but keep coming back and asking questions about each step involved. Originally posted by Thoughtless Constant day dreaming. Every day about all sorts of things. Be it a movie plot of my own creation or just a situation that happened and such. Originally posted by Cruel Justice Sometimes I purposly pinch myself on my arms because the slight pain feels so good. I don’t do that, but a very long time ago I started the habit of pinching my finger tips… a few years later I realized that the reason I had calluses on my fingers was probably because of this, so I tried to stop, and they went away, but sometimes I still catch myself doing that. I sometimes find it hard to sleep when there’s light/sound, but not all the time… The skin on my lips is almost always severely chapped and will peel off when it gets wet, like when I eat something, therefore I will often try to tear-off the skin, sometimes causing it to bleed.
HyperHacker Posts: 4138/5072	A lot of people enjoy white noise, and bright lights bug me too. I had to put electrical tape over the light on my joypad (why there's a light on it I don't know) because it'd light up the whole room and keep me awake.
Xeo Belmont Posts: 580/1016	- When eating, I lick my lips after just about every bite. This is something I've been doing since I was a kid, before I even knew it. I don't even realize I do this 99% of the time, but growing up my parents have told me and sometimes my friends have joked about it. I dunno, I can't stop it? - Putting the bottom of my tongue at the top of my mouth, I can snap it down making a very loud clapping sound. But its -very- loud, as loud as real claps basically. - I talk to myself sometimes when I'm driving. Usually to make a remark at how stupid people are driving around me, or when someone does something stupid on the road. Yep, I'm angry and cursing at the people while being alone in my car! My ultimate sleeping complications! - Must have a fan of some sort going. Extra bonus if the fan is pointed towards me so I feel the air. Its for the sound though, if this fails a computer will do nicely. - No light coming from cracks of the doors. I almost always put clothes at the bottom of my door when I go to bed, to block all the light coming through. I don't mind lights coming from consoles, or stuff like that but a whole line of light at the ground bothers me. - Extra weight should be around the area where my feet will be. Usually I have a few blankets here or some piles of clothes. Yeah, that's how I sleep. I used to pick my nails a lot. But I stopped doing that a few years ago.
HyperHacker Posts: 4122/5072	Yes. Also I just remembered two more: -I don't bite my nails out of boredom, but I cannot stand to trim them using anything other than my teeth. Nail clippers just feel so unnatural and I can't easily do it with scissors. When they get too long I clean out the crud under them, wash my hands, and just chew them right off. Of course with toenails, I remove them with my fingers, digging in until I can rip off the excess. -Instead of greeting somebody, I tend to just look them in the eye, close my eyes and lower my head slightly. I started doing this to my cat since animals do it as a sign of respect, and I never stopped. When I do it to cats I also tend to make a short humming noise. For some reason if a cat is in the room I tend to do it every 5 minutes to 30 seconds. Pac, you sound like you have Asperger's or something. I should know... Originally posted by Xkeeper Originally posted by HyperHacker Originally posted by Xkeeper It gets worse when you consider that one of those times, my room was nearing 100°F (37.78°C). Only 37? I've had 45°C, and still had to sleep with a bed sheet. 45C? I don't see how that's possible, as I don't think it even gets that hot here mid-summer... 30-35°C outside + upstairs room with windows facing parallel to the river (meaning pretty much no wind gets in) + sunroom attatched to it (the walls in there can reach 55°C) + two big fucking CRT monitors, computer, and other electronics generating heat + big TV in the room below me generating more heat.
Danielle Posts: 6318/6737	Originally posted by Kailieann Sometimes, when I grab something at work -- for example, a tray so I can get more muffins for the display case -- I will hold it triumphantly over my head for a few moments before resuming my work. I'd like to start fundraising for a Kaili-cam. Anyone going to second that?
Jomb Posts: 399/448	"Sometimes, when I grab something at work -- for example, a tray so I can get more muffins for the display case -- I will hold it triumphantly over my head for a few moments before resuming my work." Now if only you could channel in the little tune from zelda they play when you get a new item
Lakithunder Posts: 956/1284	I'm told all the time that I hum, bite my nails, and pop my neck. Oh yeah, and I have to keep my locker ABSOLUTELY IN ORDER!!! But otherwise, I'm a fucking slob... Eh, if I think of more, I'll post em'...

SantaMushroom Posts: 171/245	When i sit down, i can't help but rock on it like a rocking chair. It's causing the chairs to get damaged I like to kiss my cats. I know, wierd. (not furry!) I don't really mind the cold all that much. It's relaxing. I tend to fall half-asleep in the shower. For some reason, sore muscles actually feel sort of nice. that's all i can think of... :p
Cruel Justice Posts: 1560/1637	-Sometimes I purposly pinch myself on my arms because the slight pain feels so good. -I grind my teeth, pop my jaw and crack my fingers when I'm board. -Sometimes I'll eat small pieces of my cheeks. -I get really irritated by popcorn kernels. -I'll laugh at the most inopportune time and I pretend to have a problem with my sinuses to keep people from thinking I am laughing at them. -I get annoyed when people walk SE or SW of me and turn the same way I do. -I fear tripping and making myself look like an idiot. -When I go to urinals, I pee as far away from other guys as I can. Otherwise I look for another restroom. -I'll play with a pen and see how fast I can twirl it with four fingers.
Ailure Posts: 2143/2602	Originally posted by blackhole89 In conversations, on the other hand, I tend to notoriously look away from my conversation partner. I tend to become clumsy in a funny way when I think about different things than what I am doing at the moment (which is 99% of the time). When idle, I start humming or whistling random melodies. There's more interesting stuff to look at than people's face. I remember how people tried to make me look at people when I talk with them. Sometimes I have to mreow IRL, but I only do this when alone really. :/ Also I'm really clumsy, and sometimes I grab a object move it around for no reason while daydreaming put it somewhere then have no idea where I put it. XD
Thoughtless Posts: 2364/2405	Hmm.. -I need to have all lights off at night while I sleep and while I am using the computer. No lamps, no night light on, just the light from the PC monitor/TV -Nail biting, constant. -I chew gum everytime I leave my house for more than five minutes. -I need to listen to music everyday. I also listen to music before I go to bed. Always. -Constant day dreaming. Every day about all sorts of things. Be it a movie plot of my own creation or just a situation that happened and such. -Follow up quirk to the one above. I anayzle situations to the point that it drives me insane. I think of what happened, what should've happened, what could've happened, and why and how these situations ocurred or could've ocurred. I tend to overthink myself into confusion. I also try to think ten steps ahead of myself. -Before I go to bed I need to check the front door is locked, the fridge door is closed and the faucet in the bathroom is closed. I can't go to bed if I don't check. I sometimes end up checking them two times or three times before heading to bed. Hell, sometimes, I check them, lay down, then five minutes later I realize that I don't remember if I closed the doors/faucet. -I dislike having people sitting behind me. I also can't stand being in the first chair in a row. -I need to sleep with a blanket or comforter on top of me. Always. Even if it is hot. -During 98% of my face to face conversations, I am not able to keep eye contact. My eyes wander in a speed, solely depending the comfort level I am in. If I am uncomfortable, my eyes will not keep still more than 3 seconds on one spot. This has lead me to realize that during a conversation, my eyes, on their own accord just wander and without me noticing, I find out I am starving at a woman's breast. Not fun when you get paranoid that the woman may have noticed this. Hmm. If I think of more, I'll post them later. Also, some of the things I listed may not be 'quirks' so if they aren't just don't mind them.
Tarale Posts: 2410/2713	A tendency towards overacting, melodramatic "anger" when annoyed. Just imagine I'm trying to channel the character Zim and you'd about have it -- generally people think I've really flipped though. I like to play with scissors underneath my fingernails, or on top of. I like to clean under the nail, and push around the cuticle. Excessive itching, but this is a bit of an eczema thing too.
ibz10g Posts: 501/588	I am always drumming on a surface with my fingers. Usually Astro Zombies by the Misfits, or Back in Black by AC/DC. I skip two steps when running up stairs. A habit I want to break is putting my computer on standby whenever I leave it, because I usually come back a few minutes later. When talking to friends, I usually take what they say and make it about their mom e.g, "I went to the game last weekend", then I say "Your mom went to the game last weekend". If someone doesn't tell me how to do something precisely, even if it's just common sense, I won't do it. I have a dream, then I don't remember it. That day in school during study hall, I start drawing stuff, then it makes me remember the dream. I check my Myspace at least once every 5 minutes.
Cirvania Posts: 1019/1181	Originally posted by Xkeeper I'm also extremely good at this -- my mom will come in, tell me to do something (or to get up, whatever), I'll sit up and confirm it (usually by going "uh-huh"), and then fall asleep again... but I won't remember anything! It's happened at least 4 times now, and each time it's usually something really important. (I even tried to work around it by telling her to make sure I got OUT OF BED, and she still just kind of went "are you awake?" and I responded yes, even though I wasn't... I slept in too late again) Originally posted by Danielle I'm a clutz. I daydream a lot about random, unimportant things. Sometimes I even create events to daydream about. I have to sleep with a fan on, even if it's the middle of winter. Not necessarily because I'm hot, but because any other noises keep me from sleeping. I can listen to the same song all day long and I don't get tired of it. In class, I always twirl my pen/pencil around in my fingers. Always. If I don't, then I can't focus on the lesson and get distracted looking outside or something like that. Originally posted by Kirby Mario I also chew on my fingernails and play around with them in my mouth. If I see any piece of skin sticking out of my fingers, I bite it off and swallow it. -The fan thing is more a necessity than a quirk, considering the extremely high temperatures we get here in Puerto Rico, but... -The TV actually puts me to sleep. Now that it's broken, I fall asleep drawing random stuff or reading the calculus section of a math book I have and attempting to solve huge equations. Math-head -I like to doodle weird symbols and shapes on my notebooks and school chairs. -I am very fidgety and pretend to make weird shapes with my hands-- especially bikes, mechs, and tanks. -I remix game songs in my head and hum them in the bathroom. I forget them roughly two hours later.
Kirby Mario Posts: 55/79	I also chew on my fingernails and play around with them in my mouth. If I see any piece of skin sticking out of my fingers, I bite it off and swallow it. If I try to do perfect something, I bite a little part of my lip until I give up. Usually when that happens, the chewed part is bleeding. If my brother's PS2 is still on, or the cat is outside, then I won't be able to sleep. No matter if I have my eyes closed for an hour. I always avoid saying any swear words. When I want to say "fuck", I always replace it with "fark". The other ones I completely avoid except for "crap" and "damn" as I use them. I think that's it.
Danielle Posts: 6313/6737	Originally posted by Thexare Originally posted by Danielle When I'm at work, I get really really irritated by people that ask stupid questions. For example (I work at an ice cream store), "Is this ice cream?" or "do you have vanilla?" or the most annoying, "how much is a regular size?" NOT LIKE THE PRICES ARE RIGHT THERE ON THE WALL. Having to answer those questions multiple times a day, every day... really gets under my skin. I'm pretty sure that's normal. Well it doesn't seem to bother anyone else at work.
Xkeeper Posts: 4680/5653	Another odd one I just remembered: while I was up in Alaska visiting Melv, we had a very strange tendancy to say the same thing at the same time. (it happened at least 4-5 times, too)

neotransotaku Posts: 1800/1860	I have a tendency to... think out loud say the opposite of what I meant to say (i.e. i tell someone to turn right when they really need to turn left) omit keywords words in my sentences
