Weird habits

[4.]

Do you have any weird habits?
Some of mine
-I always eat soup with my left hand even though I'm a rightie.
-When I put away my cubes I always put green on top.
-When I'm itchy I always scratch 7 times, no more, no less.

Please post below

 

[Kirjava]

I dress like a cat.

 

[Reinier Schippers]

Well this is interesting...

 

[Dacuba]

Like solving a Rubik's Cube when you see one isn't weird enough

 

[Cubenovice]

I go to speedsolving competitions but cannot speedsolve.

Wasn't there a thread about this already?
Edit: OK NOT, the one I was thinking of was actually "strange hobbies"

 

[Goosly]

I actually sort the icons on my desktop (videogames together, mediaplayers together, etc)

I go to speedsolving competitions but cannot speedsolve.

Cannot speedsolve? :confused: Sure you can!
Oh, you should learn me something about commutators next time. I found the algorithm for the 3-cycle you showed me sunday, but my mind exploded. Really, I need some help on that.

 

[MostEd]

I solve centers on 5x5, rarely finish it.
I do a consistent avg5, my cube explodes.

I check th fridge multiple times and not take anything from it.
I write mirrored sometimes, then people look at me weirdly after trying to read it. Like not thinking about it.
I sort my icons on the desktop too.
I can't resist unsolved v cube 7.

 

[Muesli]

Oh, you should learn me

I threw up a little.

On topic;

I fidget all the time. I don't have to think about it, I just end up moving in repetitive ways. My knees often shake in and out when I'm sat at the computer.
I orient the white centre so the bottom of the logo faces the green face. No idea why but I always do it.
I thumb-spin over and over if I have a pen in my hand. No exceptions. I don't even think about it.
When I write l's often become t's, y's often become g's and i's often become f's. It's just my muscle memory playing havoc. I have no trouble when reading or typing.

I also check the fridge and pantry about 5 times a day, taking something maybe... once?
I always put my cubes white on top, green in front.
I naturally move my fingers as if I'm solving a cube, with nothing in my hands of course.
I rearrange my icons on my computer... sometimes.
I talk to myself.
(Sometimes) I solve slowly, and explain the solve, as if doing an example solve in a youtube video.

 

[Vinny]

I delete things on my computer all the time because I can't STAND having extra stuff. Probably why my desktop has 4 shortcuts, including the Recycle Bin.
Plus I'm obsessed with organizing my cubes on my dresser in a different yet interesting fashion almost every day.

 

[Mudkip]

I wrinkle my nose while squeezing my eyes shut. And I do that like every 5 seconds which is totally embarrassing so I'm trying to stop somehow.

 

[Weston]

I threw up a little.

Have you not read Huck Finn?

 

[knuckles4204204]

Ok i have a few weird ones and a few good ones.
I wash my hands ALOT (I'm a germaphobe, started when i was legally pronounced dead for 2 mins)
I will randomly pick up a cube and either scramble or shuffle it (U', R, U, R')
When i organize my puzzle i always put red on top (if no red then black, if no black then green)
I always have a hat on and my necklace (which is just a chain and my old gauge[earring])
I have a bad habit of taking my puzzles apart (took my 7x7 apart 5 times in 1 day)
And lastly I have 2 boxes my puzzles are in right behind my computer chair, 1 for puzzles i use alot and 1 for ones i don't use alot.

I know quite a few people who do this. Is it constant or just when you deal with people you don't know too well? I think its of the same kind of make as stutters, some peoples go away naturally, some "make" theirs go away, others just have to live with it.

On topic:
1.I'm constantly playing along to the drums of songs with my teeth, like moving my jaw from side to side. I'm a pretty awesome mouth drummer truth be told! I'd vidya, but its not really audible to anyone but me (jawbone conduction of sound etc).
2.If I crack a single joint I will almost always insist on trying every other one in my body. I can also make inbetween my rib cage (like the middle) crack by like puffing my chest.
3. I cube right handed apart from M slices. Any algs involving them I use left handed gripping (i.e. I flick with my right hand). At least i think this is left handed.
4. What I can only describe as expanding/gaping (shudder) my nostrils. like making them more circular and wider inadvertently.

All I can think of off the top of my head, plus many of the above (checking fridge, etc)

I do this also, and i thought i was the only person who could crack their chest, i can also make my chest cave in (probably not healthy but i don't do it alot)

 

[emolover]

1. Breaking silence by cracking my neck very loudly.

2. Bash my head(hard) when I get something wrong or even just do something poorly(even with cubing).

3. Refuse to wash my hands and brush my teeth.

4. Twitch when I sleep.

5. Head twitch that I hate so much.

6. Wear the same pair of jeans for 2 weeks straight sometimes.

7. Hide my left arm from view as much as possible.

8. Hair flip even if I don't have any hair in my eyes.

9. Push my glasses up literally every 30 seconds.

10. Sometimes when nobody is home I put eyeliner, mascara and other makeup products just because of the fact that I think I look good with it on (yet I would never have the balls to wear makeup in public) and will just stare at my reflection until someone gets home then I hurry to wash it off. (That one is really weird)

 

[MadeToReply]

The hair flip was a hard habit for me to break. Even after I cut all my hair off I did it for a few months.
I still push my glasses up all the time, and I'm not sure if it's because it's a habit or that they don't fit right.
And about the last one, you really should just wear it out in public. If you go through all the effort to put it on and you like it, just wear it. I used too, and no one ever gave me crap for it. People would give me crap for tight pants but not makeup. lol

Weird habits of mine:
1. I fidget with my hands pretty much 24/7. I flip my phone open and closed, play with my keys or my lighter, or tap them.

2. When I see the time on a digital clock I have to make a math equation out of it. And if the numbers don't work I have to figure the next minute that will.

3. I always eat pizza pockets upside down.

 

[pappas]

I say 'definitely' and 'yeah' a lot.

It's fine, plus he's from Belgium so I'm going to guess it's his second language. I've read a few older books that have this as acceptable use of the word.

Edit: I suppose someone will quote me saying that English is the language spoken now, even if sentences used to be different, they are incorrect now.
