Re: Quirky things you do...

I do a lot of these also so I won't restate those. I do have a few others though.

- After I burp, sneeze or fart I always say "excuse me" even when I by myself.

- I always take my shoes off and drive with my socks on. Even when I'm in the car with my clients. They make fun of me about it all the time.

- When I'm watching TV, I have no problem sitting on the couch. However, when I play a video game at my crib, I have to be lying on the floor, against the couch with a pillow to prop my head up.

Just a few off the top of my head. I'm sure ill think of more later.

Re: Quirky things you do...

When Im walking in the mall aimlessly, I break out in spontaneous coreographed dance numbers. Dozens of other people usually join in the same dance rouitine. Then observers look in astonishment and take video to which they upload online and becomes viral. Thats a normal saturday for me.

Weird... I have the same hang-up. EDIT: After more reading I see this is fairly common. Still odd.

Re: Quirky things you do...

Some of these are very interesting and funny (no offense)

I must watch all DVD's with subtitles (I have this fear that I miss something important).

My electronics have to be organized perfectly, games, wires, controllers, etc have to be in a specific way and placed back after each use (my relatives call me names about this one).

I never split a pole when walking with another person; I either step in front or step back behind them.

If someones foot hits mine, someone steps on my shoe, or vice versa I have to shake that persons hand (a superstition that if I don't that person and I will become enemies, and it freaks people out when I shake there hand and explain why, lol).

Re: Quirky things you do...

I actually just started the reciept thing in my games a few months ago. Seems much more tidy and organized that way. I don't have it in my wallet, and I don't have to fish for it if I need it.

Re: Quirky things you do...

When reading articles online (or OS threads, etc.) I have this quirk of tapping the left and right keypads a whole bunch, shifting the lettering all of the time. That or I'll double- and triple-click text and highlight it for no apparent reason other than to do it.

The former quirk becomes a problem when reading articles on Kotaku (among other sites) because pressing left and right changes the article you're reading. The latter quirk is problematic when things like keywords become links or definitions when you highlight them on some sites, etc.

Re: Quirky things you do...

I highlight text that I'm reading on a computer screen line by line (or sometimes a few words at a time)


I also count steps a lot
