Ha! Not only did I spell 'idiosyncrasies' wrong, I spelled 'spelled' wrong... go me! On a totally, totally unrelated note, 2am is a bad time to be online if you don't want to appear... rather slow.
----------------------------------------------------------

In yet another attempt to induce group sharing, I'm encouraging you all to list your weird habits - if you don't want people to know it's you, make a puppet nation (and don't worry, I'm sure the mods have better things to do than find out who, exactly, is who. Well... mostly sure. Hoping, at any rate).

My starter list:

I prefer to sit on the floor when others are sitting on chairs
Even in school classrooms
And public places
I've been known to tie myself to chairs, or tie my hands together, when left un-entertained
Also, have done the above during classes in school (drew odd looks for some reason)
Have had friends lead me around by a collar-and-leash type thing (although I wasn't exactly willing... they just took advantage *pouts*)
React to any English accent with much flailing and squealing and hiding under tables (but, in a good way. I <3 English accents).
Use superstitions in the place of study, for exams
Wear my cat around the house like a fur stole (he likes it, I swear!)
Frequently sit in public places holding a book upside down, pretending to read, in order to observe people's reactions (and very amusing they are, too)
I will beg people to deal with shop people if I'm with friends, but have no problem paying for things when I'm on my own
I can't eat around people, unless they're eating also
I change clothing styles on a day-to-day basis, and often change personality archetypes on a similar time-scale.


There's a whole bunch more, but my brain is shutting down now ('tis 2:17am here). So now, over to you, people-who-are-sick-of-all-the-political-threads. Have fun :D.

And remember: If all else fails, make something up.
Oh, and also, spelling errors are due to... the moon's current orbit. Yessss....

I will sometimes say or do outrageous things in an attempt to shake people out of their lethargy. :D

I don't like umbrellas.
Or cars.

*singing and dancing outside restaurants or the cinema
*everytime I go out with my friends I always end up wearing a crown or stupid hat or something like that
*when I go to the cinema I tend to end up sitting on the steps
*if I'm the only one sat in the back of the car I always sit in the middle so that I can see out of all the windows
*if I'm alone at night I always leave the tv on so I don't hear any scary noises and I jump onto my bed from a distance in case there's anything under it that might grab me (pathetic, I know)

Oooh, The White Hats, you reminded me of one I left out:


I have a 100% weakness to English accents


Seriously, you could talk me right off a cliff if you had the right accent*...

mmm.


*not that I should be giving anyone any bright ideas...

oh yeah, Shaed you just reminded me

*I have a 100% weakness to Irish and nice southern english accents

I have an uncanny ability to crack terrible jokes left and right

--I freak out at having to eat in front of other people
--I don't like loose hairs falling on me and will drop everything to pull them off as soon as I feel them
--Like others of you I am a sucker for an English accent
--I will sing loud and proud when nobody else is around, but the moment I am aware of another presence in my vicinity my voice automatically shuts down
--I don't like shoes because I need to be able to wiggle my toes or it drives me crazy
--I don't like clothes because I can always feel them on me (it's hard to explain). You'd think after being alive 20 years this wouldn't be a problem anymore but whatever...
--I prefer sleeping in a nest pile of blankets, pillows, and plushies on the floor to a bed or a couch or even a chair
--I have a desire to bite or chew things, all the time, and since I can't, I suspect this is why my nails are so very short-bitten
--I don't like to be touched without permission, even if it's just a friendly pat on the back or a poke in the side or whatever

There :)

When walking in public places I tend to start 'racing' ppl. Either by trying to beat someone walking the same way or someone walking towards me to a certain point on the street *street sign, crack n the pavement, shop door etc). Then I start over with the next person I see.

1) I only insult people I like, insulting somebody I don't like is a waste of time.
2) If I'm bored I jab people in the ribs. Complain and get jabbed twice.
3) I always cross all my fingers on my right hand if I'm really really bored.
4) I enjoy twitching if I'm in a public place by myself. the good ole sniff-twitch-twitch technique is great for getting odd looks.
5) When I get annoyed I'll punch myself in the head.
6) When travelling in a car, I imagine my leg is controlling something that has to avoid being hit by objects. So i'll flex my thigh and calve muscles when going past a hedge, but avoid it when going past a lamppost

* When shopping for a specific item (CD's, clothes, etc.) I will often go into a shop, find the item I'm looking for, then leave, walk round the block, come back into said shop, then buy said item. It's almost as if I have to 'case the joint' first before making a purchase.
* I won't eat in public alone.
* When passing crowds of people I pick out random people and insult them in my mind.

For some reason the colour of my skin attracts undue attention and anger manifested as violence in certain crowds.

Was that revealing enough? :p

Personally: I have difficulty riding as a passenger in the front seats of cars, but no problem in the back seat; I leave my shoes untied if I have to kneel down to tie them; I say "bless you" instead of "thank you" to anyone who gives me coffee; several others I just cannot think of right now.

my idiocyncracies change wildly but they currnetly are...

*when sitting down around school i sometimes talk loudly among freinds and when someone passes am apt to say loudly "look that mans hitler" or some such dictator... i find it funny i cant help myself

*i vie with myself as to the number of pagan gods i can include in unrealted essays

*dont like to eat alone... if theres not someone else i tend to go hungry

*consume enormous quantities of chewing gum... its like some nuerosis.

Get off the collodial silver, blue skin.


NEVER!!

I have this thing where I have to count numbers to get a sum total.

Like, for example, I live in building 45.

So, 4 + 5 = 9.

I just do this, like out of nowhere, without thinking about it.

It's so weird.

I judge which foods I like based largely on texture.

I sometimes talk in D&D Lingo.

"Aha! You're weak physical attack cannot break through my +4/+4 Alabaster Armor! I cast Magic Missle!"

At which point I usally get hurt.

I also argue constantly on the existance of Ninja-Pirates. They do exist!

Oooh, didn't we already have this conversation Shaed? I'm not sure my idocyncracies are appropriate for this forum.

I hate water on my face, if I get water on my face I have to wipe it off immediately.

I'm rather jumpy, I always kinda look around.

I make up new words when I don't have one that suits what I'm trying to describe.

very true, and very usefull :D

i have an irrational fear of being hungry.

i think sean bean deserves the title of sexiest man on earth.

I make up new words when I don't have one that suits what I'm trying to describe.
I do the reverse. When I come across a word I like the sound of but don't know the exact meaning of, I use it randomly until someone tells me it's inappropriate, thereby disclosing its meaning. Which nearly got me into trouble once, when I suggested to my Chairman she might care to dissemble in front of a Parliamentary Select Committee.
Mendacious was another one I had fun with until my boss suggested it might be a little strong when describing someone's argument in a legal brief I was preparing.

idiosyncrasies
spelled

*ahem*

- I like standing on the tables and then jumping off in French
- In the absence of internet, I browse the Encyclopedia Brittanica
- Sometimes I like to wear men's shirts
- I think guys who wear girly stuff, like flowers in their hair, are really cute
- The guys I like and the guys that like me just don't overlap for some reason
- The day before school started, I made up some practice math problems for myself
- I random hug people, poke people, and say "moose" for no reason

*I tend to add -esque and -ish to words A LOT
*I dislike it when my food touches, especially when juices from vegetables touch my other food...ewww
*I also only eat one type of food at a time normally....
*I HATE my accent, and don't tend to speak to strangers very much unless I have to, if I do, I say very little
*When reading a book I have to finish the chapter I'm on before I stop
*I like symmetry. I try and set things up so that they're symmetrical

Oh my god....you've just described all my idiosyncracies....I'm scared....
I suppose that means they're not idiosyncracies then :)

I'd like to add some more though:
*If I'm playing on good games/reading good books/watching good tv I can sometimes forget to eat...like today - I was playing Half life 2 and talking to friends until about an hour ago when I realised I hadnt eaten anything all day
*I always play little games subconsiously with things I can see in the surrounding environment...like when in a car I'll imagine that I have to make a dirt mark on the window jump over certain things we're driving past by moving my head up and down....
*I REALLY like cheese, especially mature cheddar

I sit here staring at the General forum when I should be writing my fourth english paper...
I also demand that my right foot get more steps on any journey than my left foot.
I make the worst one-liner jokes, because they often rely on something highly academic that others don't know. (It's sad when you make a joke and the punchline involves Freud's psychosexual phases.)

I make the worst one-liner jokes, because they often rely on something highly academic that others don't know. (It's sad when you make a joke and the punchline involves Freud's psychosexual phases.)You have some serious competition on that score, ask any of my friends. When someone gets one of my jokes about, say the writings on the writings of Heraclitus, they usually find them very funny but I've gotten used to the blank stare.

- i eat ice cream with a fork
- when i order a 6 inch sub from Subway, i always think theyre giving me the shorter of the two halves,which stresses me out and makes me crazy.

hmm...i need to think for a bit on the other odd things

Oh my god....you've just described all my idiosyncracies....I'm scared....

:) I've never known anyone else to really do those things, haha

*I always play little games subconsiously with things I can see in the surrounding environment...like when in a car I'll imagine that I have to make a dirt mark on the window jump over certain things we're driving past by moving my head up and down....


I do that one too, but only when I was younger, or if I'm in the back seat.

*Also I hate to be dirty. Ewww....especially dust I dislike the way it feels (partly due to synesthesia, but whatever)
*I'm a neat freak, I HATE dust around my apartment
*I organize my closets by colour, :)

I dislike cheese, and love carbonated candy. And I am not a masochist.

My worst one isn't really an idiosyncrasy more then the fact that I can't speak in public but it is:

*I tend to gaze off into space when talking, almost as if I am talking to someone who isn't there, which apparently is very unnerving.

*I also eat every food with utensils in cafeterias/diners, but not at home.

*I happen to make racial comments at the worse possible times (ie make comments about how no one cares about India in the company of Indians, or call a paki an Indian or visa versa)

*I hate public restrooms

*I can't have any shredded lettuce on my subs.

AHA! And this, people, is why I should not be on the computer at 2 o'clock in the morning. Thank you, Zincite, for pointing out my silliness. Now I can hide in shame properly :D.

*I tend to add -esque and -ish to words A LOT
*I dislike it when my food touches, especially when juices from vegetables touch my other food...ewww
<snip>
*When reading a book I have to finish the chapter I'm on before I stop
<snip>

Same here. -esque makes words fun. I'm insane about my food, and have to have stuff on separate plates - otherwise I get all freaked out and can't eat properly. I just do the chapter thing because... hmm. I was going to say it's easy to remember, but page numbers are ALSO easy to remember. So I guess I'm strange :p

I judge which foods I like based largely on texture.

Me too! I just realised this recently, too. I don't like slimy textures...

Oooh, didn't we already have this conversation Shaed? I'm not sure my idocyncracies are appropriate for this forum.

Yep, that's what made me think to post this... and aww... I shared my whole 'binding-self-to-chairs' thing, and no one judged me for that.

Wait.

I'm *assuming* no one did. I guess I could be very, very mistaken...

I hate public bathrooms, but only when other people are in them, but the fear of someone being in there will usually keep me out.

I often talk in multiple characters during a conversation, sometimes even interupting the speaker to fill in for them.

-I don't show emotion very much and tend to walk around with a blank/angry look on my face. Everyone at tech grills me about it.

-I have a running sports comentary going on in my head of things that I'm doing.

-My apetite is incredibly random.

-an extention on the first point: I can act really not surprised/upset/happy if someone tells me something really surprising/upseting/err happy-fying

-I keep my CDs on my rack are in alphabetical order. I started this when I was about 13 and only had 5-6 cds. Since then when I've put a new one in, I've kept them alphabetical even though most of them spend a lot of their time away from the rack. Buying A Perfect Circle's new album meant moving all of them down one..

-I regularly go into the freezer, take out a few ice cubes and eat them (in fact I did it just then which reminded me)

-I pop random Simpsons quotes into conversations all the time.

-I relate everything back to sport.

- I call everyone "fat" or "fatty" or "fatass"
- I roam messageboards even when EVERYONE in there does not like me
- I go to racist chatrooms and call everyone assholes. Then I go and debate racism
- I intellectualize
- I have a problem with new situations, so I have to pretend everything new is actually something I've done a hundred times before
- I'm always looking for girls, even when I'm in a relationship
- I do not masturbate.... EVER!

Buttons for clothes sicken me if not on clothes, or if they clash with the clothes or are overly large.

list #2


I prefer McDonald's chips cold
I only eat, at most, one meal a day (normally dinner)
I'm a complete pack-rat... I have around 17 different collections (most old or complete) going currently, and would have a few more except I'm broke
I can listen to the same song over and over and over without getting bored
On a similar note, I can watch the same movie an infinite number of times
I insert nonsense into conversations (like "cheese midgets")
I love all stories on audio cassette, even if I read the story first and hated it
I will often talk about removing people's aqueous humors with a syringe. It's a sign of affection.

To many to list, but heres a sample:

*If a train passes I have to count the carriages, don't know why but always have!
*I also can't just leave a book without finishing the chapter
*When unsure of anything, just tend to stare off into middle distance, been told its freaky?
*Laugh at the most inappropriate times
*Call everybody 'mate', lucky really as am awful with names
*If talking to people for any length of time I start to copy their accent or inflections, got me into a lot of trouble!
*I'm actually inherently shy, but cover it up by talking to everybody, the problem is I tend to gabble because I'm nervous

Thats it for now, but believe me, there are many more!

I get emotionally attached to my threads


ie, 'bump' (last one, probably)

I am emotionally attached to my head...physically also.

I have to alphabetize everything. Movies, CDs, video games, board games, everything.

Whenever I eat smarties, or any other pretty, colourful coated chocolate sweet, I like to divide them up into colour groups, then eat them (in rainbow colour order) until there is exactly the same number in each group. I then eat these (again, following the well laid out colour scheme those pretty rainbows provided)

Add me to the list of crazy colour-ordering people.

I also added in a whole different mathematical layer to it though, by dividing the colour groups by random numbers and eating the remainders.

I'm not a fbig fan of randomness in my sweet eating routine, so I eat them in even multiples....normally of two (coz I'm not that much of a greedy pig)

I'm a big American football fan and I prefer for the number of non-2-letter positional abbreviations on offense and defense to be w/in 2. That's why I'm glad that they have the lettering system for the receivers. In pretty much every offensive system, split end = x, tight end = y, and flanker = z. So, here is how I would write a starting lineup with abbreviations.

QB: ...
HB/RB*: ...
FB: ...
X: ...
Y: ...
Z: ...
LT: ...
LG: ...
C: ...
RG: ...
RT: ...

LE: ...

RE: ...
SLB: ...
MLB: ...
WLB: ...
LCB: ...
SS: ...
FS: ...
RCB: ...

* = I'll put either one.

That way, you have 4 on offense (center and receivers) and 5 on defense (linebackers and cornerbacks, interestingly enough, the very same positions that play man-to-man in a 2-deep man-under scheme).

I have absolutely no idea what you just said. It sounds amusing though.

I need my pizza slices to have exactly 6 olives/salami slices on them, so that every bite has one olive/slice. If a slice doesn't, I won't eat it.

What happens when they line up four or five wide?

I always try to outdrink EVERY ONE.
I fall asleep about everywhere when I'm drunk

I talk about sex alot. Is that an idiosyncracy?

I talk about sex alot. Is that an idiosyncracy?
Depends on what kind of sex...

Depends on what kind of sex...

Lies! Damned lies!

Depends on what kind of sex...

The kind with a male and a female?

For the first few it is important to know I have a three-inch long goatee:

I will twirl my goatee when not occupied, often leaving it pointing to the left or right without my knowledge.

I prefer handheld foods (burritos are the best food delivery system ever) so at restuarants if unattended too long I will start combing my beard with the unused fork.

I assign myself arbitrary obsessions on the spot which I then defend as if I had held it my entire life and had spent my entire existance contimplating it's ramifications. I consider it a victory when, during one of these on the spot creations, someone says "You spend way too much time thinking about this."

I wear a vacationer hat all the time. Even when sleeping (held on by a hoodie).

I'm social, but hate people.

In crowds I will imagine conversations of people I can't hear and try to piece together the lives of people I can hear. I consider this a professional hazard.

Far too many of my sentences start with "Did you ever see that episode of the Simpsons where..."

I believe that cell phones steal your soul.

At random I will say, "You know what'd be good right now? Heroin." Occasionally people take it seriously and that weirds me out.

Also at random I will say, "Get moose and squirrel." Despite not being the biggest fan of that cartoon.

I refuse to wear sneakers, but make up a new reason every time I'm asked.

I also refuse to be photographed or filmed, and likewise make up a new reason each time I'm asked. However, I will willingly slip into the photos of tourists.

I'll use being colorblind as an excuse for just about anything, even though I only have slight colorblindness (the bottom light on the traffic lights is blue instead of green)

If that doesn't work I'll blame it on being left handed.

Like someone else who posted I tend not to make fun of people I don't like (sometimes I will). I think maybe I never have gotten past hitting the girl you like phase, except that I can't hit people. Even when I took Karate, which might explain why I was so piss-poor at it.

When I travel the first thing I do is scan the local channels. I have a knack for deteriming when the Simpsons reruns come on no matter where I am.

I have to have some form of media on at all times.

I use the word 'dude' almost like the word 'smurf.'

I also use the word 'cat,' like "That cats' crazy." People say I make it work, but I think they are just being nice.

My sentences are constructed rhythmiclly so I will insert words or add syllabils(sp) to things to make them come out. But it's not a 'musical' rhythm so no one notices and just think I have a weird way of talking.

I will absorb someone elses speech pattern if I am around them for more than a day. The worst is when I involentarily repeat something they said back to them within half an hour.

I use the word 'ass' as a modifier. ("It is ass hot")

I prefer to sleep on couches. Until recently I had not slept on a bed for ten years.

When I think no one can hear me, I still make engine noises. I also imagine I am driving everywhere I go.

I can't watch something without wanting to do it myself.

I'll watch trailers to movies I've seen.

I've been told I'm at my best when mildly annoyed.

I tend to go on too long...

* I spend far too much time browsing random forum threads such as this one, when I have loads of work to do!
* I will always do homework on the night it is set, but that means some night I can be up 'til midnight, whilst on others I have nothing to do for 3 hours! (it's not that I am disorganised, I just do it that way)

That's it for now.

Oh, and I DETEST annoying smilies :sniper: :mad:

I have more.
* I intentionally develop bad habbits such as whistling and humming at the same time.
* I substitute well-known foriegn words for English ones - I say Oui instead of yes.
* I deliberately try to create emotional attachments to inanimate objects, such as my 'lucky' white pencil - which I declaired lucky two months ago and since then has not left my side, if all goes well I will be saddened when it goes missing.
* I laugh at loud at things that occur in my mind, this makes people very suspicious of me.
* I have a fear of phoning people (not phones themselves) and get into quite a state when required to do so, though I am perfectly at ease recieivng calls, or taking the handset once someone else had dialed.

You stole my fear! Except I also HATE answering phones. I screen all my calls, and am more likely to not pick up, and reply by email or IM than by picking up the phone.

I hatehatehate phones. I will never ever call people unless I absolutely have to. I will also go to great lengths to avoid giving out my phone number (even to friends); my mobile number I will either claim to forget, or say that I only have a family mobile, and don't want to give out a number that might lead to my parents talking to my friends (because, well... yeah). Home number I'll just say something along the lines of "I hate phones, use MSN".

Once I'm actually talking to people I'm fine.

Although after about half an hour of talking to most people I start rolling my eyes and cursing them in my mind. Mainly because of my *other* habit of not being able to do anything while on the phone... I have to turn my computer off, and then lie on my bed slowly being bored witless by their inane chatter. And since it's usually only close friends who manage to weedle my phone number out of me, I can't just say "God you're boring. I'm going to hang up now. Do me a favour and lose my number".

Well, I could. But then I'd lose the few friends I've managed to collect :p

I run everywhere, but only when I'm at home. If I'm in my room and want to make a cup of tea I have to sprint out of my room, leap downstairs and run into the kitchen. Then I limp back to my room with the cup of tea.

I also have this habit of standing on one leg - if I'm a bit bored or if I'm standing chatting to someone, I tend to try and stand on one lef for as long as possible.

I used to stand on one leg when forced to talk in public... then people in my class noticed and started laughing. So I stopped that.

Now I've transfered the standing-on-one-leg urge into a lean-against-a-wall-with-one-knee-bent-with-foot-flat-on-wall.

If that makes any sense... which it won't, because I have no coke.

Looking real angry in a bus so no one sits next to me (I also have long hair) and I have plenty of room :D

Angry eh? I'm a girl, so looking like I'm on the verge of tears works better. No one wants to have to deal with crying strangers...

I might try that angry thing though.

Work fine for me :D

I also have a thing when standing still, I tap the ball of one foot behind the other foot twice and then alternate, I cant stand still or mt feet go numb and ache

Another:
I anthropromorphise everything. I mean everything.

If I have to wait for someone before going out somewhere, I pace in circles.

When riding in cars or trains by rows of crops I imagine that we are racing the 'running guy' that you see when you are passing those rows. Even though I know neither of us will win, I hope each time one of us will.
