Odd Qurks and Habits

[kinirokitsune]

Hey F!S have you ever realized that you have an odd quirk/habit? Some I do know, others I have had pointed out to me

Here are a few of mine:
-When holding drink glasses, cylindrical objects, or what have you, I tend to have my pinkie out. I have no idea how this happened.
-Only at home with my mom and grandpa: This systems from childhood obsession with cats, I think. I occasionally make the an inquisitive cat sound. Sometimes, I do say Nya or nyuu.
-Whether reading a book, I find out what page is the middle. When I reach the middle, I go to the end of the book and read the last two sentences.
-When bored or oddly happy, do this weird tongue clicking song....No actual song, but just notes...
- When someone tells me to pour or give a little more, I literally give then a tiny or little piece. Our family tended to do this each other
- Lastly, saying "No" to the doing a particular favor at the moment, but doing it anyways. (This I only do with people I know well or family)
Example:
Friend: Hey K. Hold my bag for a second.
Me: *while taking bag* No
Friend: *Finishes* Done, hand me back my bag.
Me: *while returning bag* No

What's your odd habit/quirk F!S?

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[silverau]

I stand cross-legged.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[making_excuses]

Tapping things with my fingers (or just tapping my fingers together) or tapping my crutch when I use it on the floor, same with clicking pens on and off also putting things in straight lines and does cracking my joints count? Because I do that all the time.

I also tend to say sorry way too often and I do the no to requests then doing it thing too.

I probably got a lot of other quirks too, because I'm a pretty obsessive person at times, but those are the major ones I think...

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[(Anonymous)]

I actually don't think those are too odd. I do, or have friends/family that do, all of the above. Maybe we're just all weird and since I've always been surrounded by weird I consider it normal so normal is now weird? Who knows.

hmm, what else....oh, I also narrate what I'm doing, usually with singing. This is something my grandpa, my mom, my brother and I all do.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[brightblueink]

sometimes when I'm standing around waiting for something, or doing nothing in particular, I'll start an "idle animation." Like, either I actually mimic the idle animation of a character from a video game I've been playing, or I'll come up with my own. I often do this without really thinking about it so I've done it in public quite a bit--I'm sure it looks like I might have some sort of mental problem when I do this since a lot of idle animations are REALLY expressive and bouncy.

I also like to do things in patterns. For examples...
-As a kid I'd take out all of my crayons/markers/whatever, line them up, and color each section with a color, then put it at the end of the line and color the next section with a different color. (My Dad likes to laugh that my coloring books looked like they were full of anime characters because Snow White would have green hair and stuff.)
-Unless I just get a particular favorite thing that I HAVE to have at a restaurant, I don't like repeating meals, so I tend to start from the thing I ordered last at a place and go through the menu until I find something that sounds good.
-As a kid, I would halve my current age and figure out patterns of things to do that were multiples of that number. So like...if I was 10 years old, and I wanted to turn up the volume on the TV, and it was the 13th, I would turn up the TV in increments of 3 until it sounded right. I stopped picking new numbers when I turned 13 because i felt like the numbers were going to get too big, so...I just always do stuff divided by 6. Since today's the 15th I'm often adjusting volume by 3 notches or so.

I don't stick to those patterns as strictly as I did when I was a kid, but I still tend to rely on them when I can't decide on something since I'm pretty indecisive and sometimes it's just handy to have a way to settle on something.

Oh, and I also make playlists in iTunes for characters I like to analyze, write or RP a lot on iTunes and I have an overly complicated system of deciding what songs should go on them that I won't go into.

...You know, writing this all out makes me realize how weird I am?

I am a knee jiggler

[(Anonymous)]

I jiggle my knee.

I was watching Doomsday Preppers the other day and there was this country singer guy with a bunker in the mountains and he was jiggling his knee during an interview and I was all "My brother! Come, let us jiggle our knees together, for we are the same!"* It also annoys the crap out of my grandmother.

*Except for the part where I don't have a bunker full of canned beans and am significantly less paranoid about the Russians dropping a nuclear bomb on Tulsa.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

When I am concentrating, I stick my tongue out a little bit. Just the tip out the right side of my tongue, curled upwards.
It's concentrating on anything! School tests and exams, carrying something heavy, texting. Tongue just sneaks out. My friends all think it's funny.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[(Anonymous)]

I start meowing and rubbing my head against people after a few drinks.

This is why I only drink at home ._.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[diet_poison]

I do that last one all the time haha

Sister: "Can you pass the salt and pepper?"
Me: "No!!" *passes salt and pepper*

etc

Other weird quirks? umm
+I wear a pencil in my hair by sticking it sideways behind my ponytail band. It's actually a really useful habit. Then if I need one I just reach up and grab it (and if there's not one I paw awkardly at the back of my head and grumble about it)
+I can't ever sit completely still. I'm one of those people who shakes their foot all the time when sitting in a chair. This extends to rocking back and forth sometimes when I'm sitting on the ground.
+I always put on my right sock, right shoe, right contact, and right earring first
+I eat ramen with Parmesan cheese in it (also I drain the water out and mix the cheese up with the flavor packet) (I guess most people eat it like soup? my friend thought this was weird haha)
+My family and I have a tendency to make really weird, loud, random noises when we stretch our arms (like after getting up in the morning or w/e)

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[(Anonymous)]

Whenever I'm playing a game and it takes a lot of concentration (Or it's a boss fight) I tend to, without even realizing it, lick the fuck out of my bottom lip. I only notice once it's over and it's really weird if I'm around other people. :X

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[(Anonymous)]

Let's see...

- I rock back and forth when reading any book (which annoys my mom).

- I jiggle my legs. If I can't do that, I throw things and catch them repeatedly (usually making them spin midair while I do so). If I can't do either of those, I tend to chew on things. This is all done while doing other things (watching TV, drawing, etc).

- I eat all food separately, if I can. Say, I have a burger, I'll take out and eat the meat first, then each bun individually. I tend to eat the thing I like the taste of the most, last.

- When I visit someone's house, even if they tell me I can sit, I stand up. I always refuse drinks, too, even if I'm thirsty.

- And, kind of a dirty one: I'll wear the same clothes three or four days in a row. The only things I won't wear more than one day is knickers, socks and for some odd reason, shirts.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[(Anonymous)]

When I eat or use anything like pudding, butter, cool whip, etc. that is soft and comes in a tub, I have to scoop it out in a way that still leaves the top smooth and level. Nothing drives me crazier than opening up the butter and seeing big, uneven chunks taken out of it. Yes, I do realize how weird and anal retentive this is.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[siofrabunnies]

I never socialized much, so I have a few quirks. Nothing too weird, though.

-Whenever I'm eating some kind of legume, I peel the skin off with my teeth before I eat it.
-I talk to fictional characters as though they were my imaginary friends, especially if any particular character could 'help' with a problem. Apparently this is something a lot of people do but no one admits to.
-If I can go without socks or shoes, I won't wear them. I can't stand wearing them at all.
-I know a lot of people here will agree with me, but spiders and snakes are just as adorable as kittens. Especially jumping spiders when they're hunting.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[greenvelvetcake]

Ha I do that spontaneous meow, too. It's usually more out of surprise than curiosity, though. Like, something will startle me, I'll jump and make a noise, someone will turn to me and ask, "Did you just meow?" "NO."

Used to do the "read the last few sentences of a book" thing, too, but it really screwed up the ending of one book for me and I've never done it since.

I tend to dance in place a lot. Fiddle with my eyebrows, mess with my face when I'm bored. Endlessly seek out blemishes on my face/shoulders/arms to pick at. Tap my fingers (silently) or click my teeth in patterns or along with spoken syllables, which I hate and I think has evolved into me clenching my jaw at night (locked up my jaw for about half an hour once. Not fun times.) Crack my neck.

If I get a call from a number I do not know, I will never pick it up, but look up the phone number. If it was important, they'd leave a message.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

-When I have to wait for something, I wind up mentally humming the drum cadence I marched in band to back in the '80's.

-I wear my hair in a ponytail, and often grab it, and hold it over my head and let the hair run down through my fingers.

-I write, and I talk out loud to the characters in my head. Usually, I'm alone when this happens, but not always.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[maverickz3r0]

I am comprised almost entirely of odd quirks.

I tend to chew on the zippers of my jackets. Not the all-metal ones, the ones that have a bit of fabric attached.

I can't usually sit still for more than half an hour, I have to get up and pace a bit. Whenever I am sitting, I rarely sit still anyway; I shift around a lot.

I still blow spit bubbles when I'm bored sometimes. Have done since I was little.

I make a lot of weird noises in the back of my throat, sometimes entirely randomly. I also have a lot of hand gestures that I use in place of certain phrases. Most of my close friends can translate them.

I never fast forward through commercials on recordings because commercials are when you go and get food and drink refills.

Except for a few odd things, I don't like to have food on my plate touching a different kind of food. This means if I'm having anything that I don't want butter on with a chicken kiev, for example, I get a small plate for it on the side. Regardless of any other mixing preferences, tomatoes touch nothing.

Sometimes when I'm writing, I do my characters' voices out loud.

...Comprised almost entirely of weird quirks. Yep.

- Lastly, saying "No" to the doing a particular favor at the moment, but doing it anyways. (This I only do with people I know well or family)

I do these both. I actually 'felinize' a lot of words (I'm a furry, with a cat persona, so...) - 'nyo' and 'nyes' are especially common.

When I drink milk, it HAS to be in a mug, preferably plastic, but ceramic is fine. Glasses, nope. Handleless plastic cups, nyoooooooo.... Mug. Always. Doesn't matter if it's white or chocolate.

I have a weird thing with symmetry of my body. If I scratch an itch on one side, for instance, I feel a need to scratch the other side, despite it not itching. Not all the time, just enough to be noticeable.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[(Anonymous)]

-Whenever I eat ice cream I have to mix it all up into a giant mushy mess because it tastes better that way.
-With people I know well I tend to make the 'mouse' noise that will grab a cats attention when I'm trying to get that particular persons attention.
-I make an oddly pitched noise in the back of my throat when someone pokes or touches me when I'm not expecting it.
-This one I didn't know about until my other half pointed it out to me, but apparently when I emphasize a word I widen my eyes slightly at the same time.
-When eating meals I eat them in the order of how tasty I find the food, leaving the things I find the tastiest till last. For example: with regular meals I eat any potatoes first, then the vegetables, then the meat. However this can change in regards to what kind of meal I am having.
-I can't walk around barefoot even with slippers on for very long, I can do it until I have a shower but after then I have to put socks on straight away.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[forgottenjester]

Me and everyone I know does the "No thing".

Mmmm, me?

Sometimes when standing at rest I will stand on the sides of my feet. Like this girl but a little more.

People gave talked about jiggling stuff. I can be still but it's so much more soothing to be jiggling something. It can be my knee, foot, ankle, maybe the entire leg but it has to be some part of my leg.

If given the opportunity I will walk at such a slow pace I have yet to meet anyone who could match it and not get frustrated.

Any conversation I have, no matter who it's with, if it goes on long enough will broach the topic of cannibalism. I'm not even the one to bring it up half the time.

There's more. I'm just having a hard time thinking of them. I don't think these are too weird. I'm pretty sure a lot overlap with other people.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[(Anonymous)]

I rest one leg at an angle on the other. Hard to explain.

I talk, a LOT, about nothing.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[tabaqui]

Hrmmm....

I wear rings on every finger of my left hand - more than one ring on several fingers (the rings are thin). I straighten them all the time, so that the stone/particular section is at the top.

I check often to be sure the clasp of my necklace is at the back/middle of my neck and the silver key goes *under* the copper pentagram.

If i hate a food i'm served or it tastes gross and i feel i must eat it (like at a family meal or friends house), I eat the food i hate most first, so i can enjoy the rest of the meal.

Hate plastic cups and won't use them unless there's nothing else. But, the neat little set of plastic bowls are stacked in a particular color sequence (red on top, then blue, green and yellow). Because putting the red one inside the green one, for instance, makes the green one have a strange sort of color. The way i do it, they all fit nicely along a spectrum (red and blue making a sort of purple, etc.,)

Also, i hate yellow, but i make sure to use the yellow bowl when i make eggs, so it doesn't feel left out and purposeless.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[xerox78]

Someone when I'm sitting I rock back and forth.

I eat my food in a certain order: salad, vegetables from least to most liked, meat, bread (unless I'm at a restaurant, then I eat it after the salad), fruit, dessert, drink.

When I walk, if I accidentally scuff one shoe on the ground, I have to purposely scuff the other shoe so they'll wear out evenly.

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[al28894]

- I jiggle my feet when I'm sitting or getting bored with something.

- I converse with fictional characters as if they are standing right beside me (don't worry, I know they don't exist ).

- I think jumping spiders are cute~

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[childings.livejournal.com]

I do the lifted pinky thing when holding a beverage (I think that started with Versailles etiquette but not sure)

I say "childs" instead of "children" or "kids"

I pluralize random singular words, or random words that are plural already but don't end in "s" (like "fat" becomes "fats" as in "they measured my fats")

I pick my nose when I'm driving alone in the car

I hold pens like one would hold a cigarette

I put a lot of stuff in my mouth because I have an oral fixation probably

Re: Odd Qurks and Habits

[cloud_riven]

-raising my eyebrow at people to the point where it's a brow-jerk reaction to anything I find odd/amusing/annoying/ridiculous. I might not even be aware of my side-eye until it's pointed out.

-staring and observing all intense-like at any food I have on a utensil, or in my fingers, before eating it. I tend to twist and twirl it around to get a good look at the texture, and even take my glasses off since I'm short-sighted.
