Hey there everyone, how's it going?  You know, I've had the idea for this topic on the back of my mind for quite a while now, and well, I remembered that I planned on making it today!  Okay, so as the title implies, this thread is for all of you to talk about strange habits that you've had or have.  Don't worry, no one will judge, after all, this is a community where we share our experiences and such.  Now then, let's start with me.  One of the strange habits I'd had as a kid was to smell my hands constantly.  Seriously, I couldn't stand my hands to have a stinky smell or have grease on them, so I'd constantly wash them and smell them to make sure they smelled nice and clean.  Nowadays I do that on extremely rare occasions, as I've learned to outgrow that habit.  But when I do, well hey, I do it for the sake of cleanliness!  I don't want my books or video game boxes or other items to reek of whatever I was touching, and I don't want them to be greasy, I want them to smell minty fresh!  But anyways, what are your strange habits everyone?  I'd love to hear from you all.  And as I said, don't worry, no one will judge. Feel free to let loose. ^_^

For me its erm.. I kinda enjoyed (any) anime main protangonist get hurt/injured n all the bad stuff idk why ,Nya?!

Let's put it this way, it's highly unlikely that you'll find someone with cleaner hands than me. I wash my hands whenever they "feel dirty" and use hand sanitizer. Actually, that's counterintuitive. You're not supposed to use hand sanitizer as often as I do because it kills off the good bacteria too, but eh....I can't help it.

- Using my imagination by talking to myself.

(Sometimes I'm too loud, and people notice )

 

- Tapping the floor with my feet while I'm sitting on a chair, couch.

 

- Chewing my pencil while in class.

 

- I can't stand still, at any time

Whenever I watch something, I always make commentary to the people around me on what i think. I don't try to do it, my brain kinda just shuts off and dose it.

When I want to do well in my lacrosse games, I wear a specific sports bra. No clue why I deemed it good luck but I did o-o At least it's better than wearing the same pair of socks and never washing them or anything. Yuck x'D

 

I also draw the Fairy Tail guild symbol under my left forearm as well as Luffy's scratch mark on my left thumb before every practice and game. Every time I look at them I say "I've got a fire in my belly!" or "I'm gonna be king of the pirates!"

 

Yup. I'm a strange cookie.

Let's see...

I have a tendency to quadruple check to make sure I have everything before I leave the house. And even then I check throughout the day to make sure everything's still in my pockets.

Also, after seeing Axel scratch his head all the time in Days, I kinda made that into one of my own habits Granted, I don't do that as much anymore, but it was still a thing.

I also tap my feet or drum on things with my fingers a lot, especially in school. I think one time I was doing it during a band rehearsal, and the director told me to stop by saying that it wasn't a percussion lesson. 

Another habit of mine has to do with even numbers.  For example, when I write my stories, I make each chapter 12 paragraphs long, and only rarely do I make more than that, although as long as it ends on an even number, I'm good to go.  Also, when I go offline, I always make sure to go offline at a even number, example: 11:00pm, 11:10pm, etc.  I don't know why I have such a thing for even numbers, but I guess I just do.  Like for instance, I said Undertaker's last match would be at WrestleMania 30, an even number, mind you!  But he didn't end up having 22-0...he lost, so yeah, he stayed 21-1.  That's an uneven number!   But anyways, you all get what I'm saying, right?

One habit I have is with video games, it falls by a case by case, but most of the time I'll play a game like the first hour or so to get the feel for it... then I'd restart it the next morning...and on some cases I'd play the first few hours again. With enslaved I played the first part TONS of times. I have to finish a game (If American game) within a day or at most a weekend. Why? Because I used to go to a boarding school and I could only play games on a weekend, and if I can't...I don't know...I've always been able to finish most games in a weekend. If it is a Japanese game which is usually a lot longer or an RPG then I'll play that, and only that until I finish like... persona 3. lastly I pretty much only play games if I know I have at least 4 or 5 hours of free time... If I have an hour or two to play a game I won't do it or it would have to be an episodic (walking dead, phoenix wright) or really short game. Mostly I'll play a game for 7 or 8 hours straight.
