Odd habits you've formed

RedskinRat · 03-16-2012, 01:44 PM

I can't be the only one on WP who does something irrational just out of habit.

Every visit to Ikea I secure a fluffy bunny from the kid's toy department and place it gently in one of the saucepans in the kitchen displays. I started doing this in the late 80's and I'm still doing it now, not sure why (other than it makes me laugh).

Please post yours to make me feel better about mine.

Not sure if it's an odd habit because I know other people that do it, but when I'm sitting down I have that foot tapping habit where your leg just shakes continually and you don't try to stop it.

Yeah, it's called 'Stealth Masturbation'. Chicks are the main culprits.

Sriracha on everything.

Whistling at my cockatiel.

Whistling LIKE my cockatiel when I'm at the office.

When mentioning the NY Giants, they're either:
*NJ Giants
*Vagiants

I like ketchup with my french fries. Does that count?

I tell my wife I love her. In today's society that's gotta be odd.

You still talk to your wife?

I just formed a new habit...moments ago.

While eating my lunch of a grilled, bacon-wrapped Johnsonville Brat, some BBQ baked beans and chips, I started scooping up the baked beans with the chips (like tortilla chips/salsa).

It's amazing. I will never eat beans with a fork again.

On the 18th of every month, I wake up and tell my wife" Happy _____-month Anniversary!"

I've never missed a month in the 118 months we've been married. Serious.

Shows the math-nerd side of me too I guess.

hab·it (hbt)
n.
1.
a. A recurrent, often unconscious pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition.
b. An established disposition of the mind or character.
2. Customary manner or practice: a person of ascetic habits.

Come on, people, focus, damn it! 'Habit', not some recent affectation. GOSH!

I hoard rags. I was looking for something the other day in my garage and noticed I have 4 large boxes of rags and a box of towels I use as rags. Never realized how many I actually had and how I was obsessed with them. When my wife has t shirts and clothing she is throwing out I take them and cut them up into rags. My sister and parents have given me their old towels to use as rags. When we stay in a hotel/motel/Holiday Inn I always seem to snag a towel for my collection. I do go through them but not at the rate I'm collecting and my thought is you can never have too many rags. Well I think I do.
