What is your weird habit?

I have two, first is everytime I see a new model of car I have a desire to put a tiny scratch on its bodywork and the second is I touch my nose three times before I leave the house.
And yes I know scratching is wrong but I just cannot stop doing it.

I find it almost impossible to properly finish things.
Once I've "broken the back" of whatever work I'm doing I just completely lose interest and struggle to complete it.
I've got so used to doing it that, when I'm working, I deliberately leave some critical problem unsolved until I've finished all the detail work on everything else cos I know that, once I've solved that final problem, I'll struggle to properly finish the job.
I had to change the brake pads in my car last September and, in doing so, I had to remove the stereo to reset the ECU and the stereo is still in the boot.
This ought to end well.
Me? I have a habit of muttering inane things to myself. I really must stop it.
This is getting a bit much. My homemade dal is clearly lethal. Is like Auschwitz the re-enactment.
Can I sniff?
Sicko *snout*
Sniff sniff!
Now I have little cuts around my nails, bad habit.
Panicing about trying to put on a jacket that's too small - I live alone - and then having my arms trapped and stuck.
Actually borne from when this did happen. Ordered a jacket online that should have fit. It arrived, I thought it looked a wee bit 'lacking' for my generous body mass, but tried the damn thing on.
And indeed, I found myself temporarily stuck - living alone - with my arms bound behind my back. Not actually a joke - I've had cold sweats on occasion, for some reason - imagining that, being constricted, no one to help me.
I feel queasy now
I guess my habit now, is not to rashly order clothing - whereby the sizing may ultimately leave me in a cold sweat for rare, less than usual, reasons.
Yes, you do that.
I've had that problem before, I think it's called project fatigue.
People seem to get over it in their own way. My own is having different projects in the go and then doing a bit at each time on them so you don't lose interest. Documentation helps keep track of them. Dunno if that helps your situation, but still it's an idea.
that's my strangest habbit
other thing i do is running commentry for everything i do.... i could be eating something- and i'll do (in the style of an entertainer)
"here's emily with a cookie in her hand. the audience cheers as she takes a bite.... will she eat it all?"
*crunch!
again, something i've done so much it's a part of me
if i'm not doing that, i'm making up random songs to sing as i'm doing various activities... "i'm sitting in my chair, sitting in my chair, sitting in my chair...." over and over again.... that sort of thing.
I talk to myself all the time, no matter what I'm doing, most of the time I don't realise I'm doing it.
I have often thought that if we could just hiss like a cat when people come over and ask whats wrong and you don't want to speak then life would be so easier. :kitty:
