Good evening, you bunch of weirdos (love you all really), just a random thought I've had - what random/weird habits do you people have?
I think one of my oddest would be that I almost always stand on one foot whilst combing my hair - I'm really not sure why =/
I have a few.
I never comb my hair, ever. Surprisingly, it looks fine that way.
When I cook, I make extra for school the next day. I do it sometimes, so I don't have to eat sandwiches.
I always sing to myself and hear music when none is played. This is my favorite of my odd habits.
leaving my stuff everywhere - I have left my folders etc. in my classrooms and just walked out at least 6 times this half term. as in, I don't even pack away or pick up my bag, I just leave forgetting that everything that I have brought with me etc. is still in the room I was just in. A lot of people do this, but not to this extent... my teachers worry about my memory.
scratching paintwork/varnishes - a subconscious of mine. the varnish on my desk is almost non existent, the purple paintwork on my phone is all but gone, I have trouble wearing nail varnish for more than 20 minutes etc. etc. etc.
those are probably my two worst but I have way more ridiculous habits.

I do both, sadly.
Mind Role playing Ok, this one's strange. At night, when waiting in the morning to be forced to wake up, at my bus stop, on the bus, etc. my mind kicks into a different gear, I space out and my mind starts a first person role play. I do all the voices in my head and do not utter any of the words aloud. Sometimes I find myself redoing some scenes again and again. Said method is how I make up posts and plot twists in the role play threads I'm ever in here.

you scratch your nail varnish off? ;) :laugh:
I do the mind role playing thing except sometimes I start saying things aloud by accident but like in whispers haha
I think everyone does that sort of imagination SB2K, just in much different ways. Daydreaming is such a wonderful thing, I do it far too much myself, it's almost my optimistic side trying to show that things can be fantastic.
Alas, it never comes true :P
As for other habits... usually some come from consistent clumsiness I guess.
Oh! When working hard / concentrating I shake my leg which is kinda weird and actually somewhat annoying.

No, I don't do nail polish and stuff like that. I do that with dried glue, loose strings and thread from clothing, and paint. It drives me crazy.

Well, that is true. But I do it
every day. Also, it's not human rp's.

That's me.
I've got a friend who does that shaky leg thing - it's really weird because it'll be like the middle of an exam and his leg will be shaking loads xD
I also always sing and dance whilst making tea... As in a cup of tea, while I'm waiting for the kettle to boil.

Ahhh, I guess I daydream to some extent each day but not as vividly as others. Most of mine do involve humans except one which is just a nostalgia trip of a nightmare I used to have as a kid

One of my housemates does the leg thing too, I've sorta done it less as I've gotten older but I think she does it more lol
In first year of University I used to be obnoxious with the kettle boiling; since I don't drink any form of hot drinks I'd always just shout "kettle's boiled!" whenever it did repeatedly, stopped doing that though thank heavens.

Making coffee / tea was my contribution to the Sunday dinner at my grandparents house in the summer haha
Wish that was my only contribution to house work though, do a lot of it. A lot more than I ever thought I'd do! Reminds me actually, used to always do housework at Uni with my earphones in and a few of my housemates thought it was weird so I stopped doing that; just cleaned in silence / with speakers instead

And actually, all this talk of work has made me think of something else I do:
I always tidy my room in a specific order...

ugh thats me
and whenever im walking and not carrying anything in my hands, i start smacking my thighs to strange beats like im playing the drums
I count in 4/4 when I'm walking in my head. If I'm listening to music I try to time my steps to the beat.
I have a bad habit of picking skin/nails/spots ect. If I've got a spot I can't resist the urge to pop it :x
I used to have long hair and I would flick my head backwards to get the fringe out of my eyes. I still sometimes do it now out of habbit. It's strange since I've had short hair for what's probably coming close to 2 years now :laugh: I shave my head.
I have a habit for singing out loud in class. It's usually photography so it's not as bad but I'll start singing whilst going from the dark room and into the other rooms. Got it from my Media course. I would sing catchy songs that nobody liked but couldn't help but sing. Call Me Maybe and That's What Makes You Beautiful were two of them... pretty sure I sang Keep Bleeding too :laugh: It always got stuck in peoples heads!
I keep coming to this website I mean that must be the weirdest habit ever.
i pick at the skin around my nails a lot
and bite my skin
used to bite my nails but i don't anymore
uh
i've recently developed a habit of chewing/pick at my lip which means i have small scabs on it which suck
i'm also good at not leaving spots/bites alone :l
im pretty sure literally everyone does that
I do absolutely nothing when absolutely everything must be done. And vice versa. I think if there was a fire in my house I would probably wait for it to start burning me before I did anything about it. I've transcended procrastination and moved further into the realm of inertia.
i like to put my right hand slightly high in the air and other times i will look to the left and yell "HOUSE" for no reason!
am i cool and wacky and unique yet ????????????????????
I spit on the ground, and cuss at the dog ;D
Quote from: Freestyler on December 13, 2013, 16:52
I spit on the ground
That's just bloody disgusting.
I used to say "woof", ya know, like a bark. However, the way I used to say it was "werf" and it would just happen randomly. I honestly got into the habit of barking mid conversation in a camp way.
I shake my leg a lot as well xD I'm not sure why it happens, but it does lol. I think it's when I get really fidgety - I've been unable to stay still for long, recently!
I also used to always put a toy dog on my head and just walk around in the house with it weighing down my head. It was one of those microwaveable ones that would warm up and smell of lavender <3 Uuuuuunfortunately, I also put it on my head after washing my hair.. So it doesn't smell as good anymore. Sometimes I just put something on my head because it feels sort of relaxing to me lol.
It isn't *that* weird, but I *have* to arrange colour pens in a specific order if they're in a packet. Always rainbow order, which really irritates me, because the pink does not belong anywhere! Curse you, Staedler!

I do this! Pink just kind of goes where it fits xD I do mine more in 'spectrum' order if that makes any sense at all, so pink does fit in...
my habit is predicting in about 5 posts we'll have people talking about how they can "see the colours of numbers" and all disagreeing over the colour for 5
I have a habit of sacrificing people to the overlords and YOU'RE NEXT >:D
I have pretty much every habit in this topic
Chewing fingers
Shaking legs - I do this most at work when i'm sat on a till, my legs go crazy, but at least it prevents me from tapping my fingers!
Honestly none of the habits so far have been weird because everyone does them
Like I have to have TV volumes on even numbers or multiples of 5 (if I really have to), which sucks because 7 is the optimal volume at night :|
At times after 6pm up until 6am, even if I'm not tired I can totally pass out on the spot for three to five hours. I then wake up with no memory of the few hours before I passed out. Strange.

I do all of these.
Stair hopping- When I go up and down stairs, I skip and jump over some steps.
Juking and spinning- When in a huge crowd of people and I'm trying to get somewhere, I juke and spin my way past people. It's really back at school.
ok if the usual habits aren't weird then sometimes i hold my hands up next to my boobs like a t rex and i don't know why
Alright you win.
Um.... trying to think of something. Oh got it, or it would qualify among my classmates.
Trying too hard
what about liking blaziken that is a weird habit haha
i'm joking ofc blaziken is kind of cool i guess

I dunno about 5 but 32 is a gold-y yellow colour. I've seen it.
yeah you're too late i said 5 posts and its been like 10 now
actually 32 is clearly navy blue dont test me on this
Not really weird, but my knuckle cracking is out of control.

Actually, 32 would be a dark blue. 32 is another way of writing 000032, which is 000020 in Hexadecimal and that is the code for a dark blue.
^Great, you ruined the fun.
i thought numbers were just numbers and colors were just colors but you guys just
Quote from: sylar on December 16, 2013, 18:49

light green-blue actually.
haaaaaa i was talking with my mum about this the other day for some reason, and she was finding it really funny asking me what certain numbers and days of the week are in colours and textures. she MOCKED ME. a bit. am i special yet?
except for the fact that colour/number automatic association is super common and i think most people do it. like a poor man's synaesthesia.
this is beth's fault somehow, bringing this up.
also yes i have habits but most of them are generic anxiety/obsessive ones and will be so uninteresting that they will actually go into negative values of interesting and absorb all of your interesting qualities into your computer and therefore turn you into a massive bore just by you reading them. stay away.
I used to describe smells, sounds and feelings back in photography when I had to annotate pictures? Not sure if that's anything simular to giving numbers colours though :laugh:
I started doing it once in class and the lecturer said that it was good to do that so yeah... I'm going to start doing that again actually.

This, but on the toilet. Equally as awkward.
I walk digitigrade when I don't have shoes or socks on. No idea why. Don't think it's that uncommon, though?
I enjoy singing aloud just walking along the street. Is that weird idk.

Oh yeah, when strangers notice it's kinda awkward >_>
Although humming guitar solos sounds like an impressive talent xD
It isn't, because I sound out-of-tune or I forget parts of them (both are compounded by how the solos are usually very fast, long and technical xD).
Now for a more interesting one...I have the habit of reflecting on bad things in the past (not a good idea with my history).
Whenever I'm walking on a sidewalk or a tile floor, I try to step on a new square with every step.
Sometimes when I have a Song stuck in my head I do the Head bob from the Movie/Skit "A Night at the Roxbury" without even realizing what I am doing.
Here's one version of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ktbhw0v186Q
*Note, the head bob is more like how Chris Kattan (the guy all the way to the left) is doin' it.

Because nobody really looks at that part.

I do this too! Sometimes I try to go in a particular order, and try to avoid the bricks that sometimes pop up on the pavement.

I also sometimes end up with my left elbow up above my head with
no idea that it's there until I catch my brother frowning at me. Is that a habit?
I always seem to narrate myself aloud.. I will say, "I am turning on the computer. I am eating a sandwich. I close my eyes. I am tired." whenever I do something....
I sometimes narrate my life book-style in my head, including my thought patterns. Also if I have a conversation with myself mentally, sometimes I randomly say part of it out loud for no clear reason...

I do the last thing just like you do, except it's usually just one random word. I'd love to make everything sound like a book in my head, it'd be incredibly helpful for writing about experiences I've had, if I was writing about them in a story.
in my head the story is narrated with much wrath by anthony lane

Don't get excited, the book's not good. The funny thing is I'm not even really into writing.
I always seem to stutter when I'm talking to someone.
When I take selfies, I get into my morphsuit and wear a hat.
I just can't help it

One of the stranger things to leave 4chan and enter the rest of the internet.
It consists of this image

with phrases like those the others have posted in colourful comic sans. For example,

I kinda like it, but a lot of people hate it a lot.
Oh, I've seen that dog in gifs of it shaking (just its head though), never seen it in full or like that!
I am a Dogelim and Doge is my Mecca.

The internet really is terrible at times lol

so cool
i love doge haha
I thought doge died with 2013?? Everyone seems to hate it now lmao
it still makes me laugh
I have 2.
I stare off into space and get lost in thought a lot.
And I like Nickelback. :/
i like the doge meme cos it makes nerds angry when you use it
like you bring one up casually as if you'd just heard of it and see how they react its literally the perfect litmus test

Getting back on topic.....
I blow through all my money as soon as I get it.
I break out into random fits of singing.
Yeah, i'm an interesting person. xD
^ Blowing money fast isn't a weird habit but a bad one, I'm a victim of it too. Just spent twenty minutes trying to justify to myself spending £120 on a pair of Supra's lol
If I find a new song I really love I'll put it on a constant replay for like 3 hours with my earphones in before going back to my classics and then I'll forget about it for like a month and get re-addicted
Apparently when I'm drunk I always state what I'm going to do as I do it when I get home
^when i find a new song that i like i listen to it for a few days and then get sick of it and find something bettter
When I send people anon mail on Tumblr, I change the way I type so that they don't realise that it's me :mellow:
I don't use punctuation at all and I don't use grammar. As far as I can tell, it works. It's always nice messages, I don't send people hate, but I want them to know someone cares for their feelings, even if they don't know it's me.
Living is weird enough.
Well, I sometimes pretend i'm in some kind of fantasy world and fighting enemies when i'm alone.
At least my imagination still works.
When I'm with my friend I like to loudly go "yiff yiff" like I'm barking which in turn makes him do the same.
It's actually become a thing between us.
