What's a strange or odd habit you have? Spill the beans! SPILL IT!
I sneeze whenever I do something naughty, and chew chocolate milk before swallowing.
What about you?
I love being symmetrical. When I was a kid, it was so bad you could assume I had a minor disorder..
I couldn't ever stand having just one shoe or sock on or having one sleeve pulled up and the other down. Even numbers can be split exactly in half so you'd never see the TV volume at any odd number. If I tapped a desk with my right hand, I'd immediately feel an urge to do the same with my left. If my right hand tapped the desk with 1 finger, so would my left hand, and it would have to be the same finger.
I hate it when something isn't immaculate. I'd always get fuzzies from my socks and I'd be so obsessive about removing every single tiny evidence. I'd always have dark colored socks (and they'd always be one single tone, never a different colored toe or stripes anywhere), and I'm not sure if it's because dirt shoes better on white socks, if I just like the dark color, or if it was because I'd know it'd be easier to track down the fuzzies. Similarly, I would always remove dried glue from glue bottles in elementary school. One time I even spent an extra hour in the tub after a bath to take a sponge to every single droplet of water.. and was later accused of not taking a bath.
I fiddle my hands when I'm nervous if I'm walking. If I'm sitting down and doing something and I'm in a rush, my right foot is generally on top of my left and my right knee bobs up and down very quickly in bursts. Sometimes I just do that anyways, but not often. I repeat myself when talking or rather, reiterate what I'm saying because I want 100% clear and concise communication and.. that can be pretty obvious (see: this sentence). I also point out the obvious.. but that's probably just part of my repetition to make sure everyone's on the same page. I don't like making a mistake if I'm not up to date on information on any given circumstance or situation so I am doubly sure of everyone else being aware of everything that's going on; I'm not them (obviously) so I can't be sure that they're as fully aware of a situation as I am (obviously).. though I somehow should just "know".. but I call that assuming.. I write run-on sentences.. and I'm obvious a lot.. and I repeat myself a lot.. I'm going to stop now.. ._.
You aren't assuming I have more quirks after reading all that or just seeing all the text (lazy people); you really do know I have to have more. I make sure to be unique, don't I..

Ditto on the symmetrical.
I also eat sandwiches only and always circular, clockwise (I bet that's rather common though).
For no reason I have the urge to close my eyes, while using the muscle that opens the eye as much as possible, without actually opening it. And then looking as far up/down/left/right as I can.
I also have to press my fingers together, every combination, and it drives me crazy when I can't (like if I'm holding something). Same with my teeth.

that might just mean you have Obsessive-compulsive disorder
Whenever someone takes me by surprise, I can't stop shaking for five minutes.
My left hand is in my pants pocket, and my right hand on the back of my neck. Only when I'm standing.
Always cut the crust off of sliced bread before eating a sandwhich.
I always sleep with a green throw pillow and a blanket. No matter what season it is.
Put both of my hands behind my head, while I'm standing. My Mom finds that wierd.
Other people's opinions, unfortunately, affect mine.
I torment myself with Ninja Gaiden half the time.
I find myself chewing on pens, pencils, or just about anything.
I pretend not to know stuff to get different answers. Doesn't work like how I thought it would.
I say Candle Jack and nothing bad happens.
There, is that enough for you? Beca
I always have to have a small spoon or fork, if there is a big one or one with scratches i go and change it.
I do this thing with my fingers and i have to do it every once in a while, especially while playing guitar hero.
Um i can't think of any more but i know there are more.
I say "om" or "nom" while eating something. I've done that all my life.
If I'm in school at a desk, I'll have my head on my desk, and I'll be scratching my right shoulder blade with my right hand (which gets annoying, because I'm righty, so writing and that doesn't mix well)
I get very, very obsessive if I truly, dearly want something/one >_>
Hmm... Lets see...
I get mad off very easily, at the littlest things. Like those little air pockets in toothpaste, I hate when they mess up my perfect line of toothpaste on my toothbrush D: GODDAMN AIR POCKETS STOP MESSING UP MY BRUSHING >:(
Uhm, what else... I like to fart when nobody is around, laugh at other people's expense, I ALWAYS wear sunglasses, I never go out of the house without without showering or putting my hair up, I know there is more but i'm somewhat high on cold medicine. I'll edit more in later. Mabe.

You are a very complex person, you know that? Also I can't think of anything lf interest.
When I think and talk in my head I move my mouth even tough its closed so people know I'm planning something >_> Its really annoying and I started snapping out of the blue, I bit my nails ever since I'm 9 and I cant say no a venti starbucks mocha frapucchino
I use my chap stick a lot. Almost like I'm addicted to it x.x
I usually avoid eye contact with most people.
And it doesn't take much for me to start day dreaming or getting lost in thoughts. That and the lack of sleep make it easy to fall asleep in school, so I do that a lot too.
And I always have something moving, whether it's tapping my foot, twirling my hair(When it's long enough), fiddling with other things, such a pencil, my chap stick or whatever I may have in my pocket at the time.(no not my penis)
I wear a caribineer clock that doesn't work out of habit.
I eat the same thing every day for lunch at school: liverwurst sandwich on seeded rye bread with mustard and an elementary-school-style Mott's apple juice box (srsly) and an Odwalla! Bar of the chocolate chip peanut variety. I have been eating this same lunch since, you guessed it, elementary school.
I go OCD on things that don't matter and neglect things that do in terms of organization and such. Unfortunate.
I make up very detailed alternate realities while I'm spacing out and create epic sagas that span for months. In other words, when I space out, it's like I'm writing a novel. However, I never write those things down. Some would make interesting copypastas, but most of them shouldn't be written down. They are forever my stories...~.~
I spontaneously start to move to the beat in my head. Freaking electronic music took me over.
I will play pseudo-DDR on tile floors, even in public places.
etc.

That is me...
Also, I hate stepping on sidewalk cracks. Not necessarily because of the old saying, but just because it bugs me, and if I do step on one, I step on one of the next ones with my other foot in the same place. I'm pretty bad about it, I constantly adjust my pace and carefully step in each spot. It's a terrible habit.
I tend to eat stuff with the right side of my mouth more than my left. I cross my legs the opposite way of everyone else. I also tend to have them crossed whenever I'm sitting or laying down.

Oh man, me too. Any fast-ish song on my iPod makes me imagine stepcharts and I discreetly do them. I also randomly tense up my calves as an alternative if I'm sitting in a more enclosed space (bus seat, etc).
I also squeeze my mouse a lot.
When I mean to emphasize something, even in writing, I use capitol letters for the word I'm emphasizing.
I'm sure some of you have noticed this.
I always slouch down in my chair as far as I can, until I catch myself looking weird.
When I'm not leaning back, I'm leaning forwards, elbows on my knees, rubbing my hands together. That looks kind of weird too.
I shake my head like I was waving long hair around, even though my hair isn't that long.
I walk with my feet tilted inwards, due to my shoes making weird noises when I walk normally, and it eventually led to habit.
I get distracted easily, but can always easily catch up with whatever I was supposed to be doing.
I always have a song stuck in my head, unless I'm actually listening to music, always.
When I have a song stuck in my head, which is nearly always, I tap the beat to it with my pencil or hands on whatever hard surface I can reach.
My typing and writing is, unfortunately, nothing like how I really talk. But then, I hardly talk at all.
I rarely talk.
When given a paper or handout at school, I always start working on it or reading it immediately, even if my teachers want to do it as a class.
I always have to air-guitar Cliffs of Dover.
the only weird thing that I do that I can think of at the moment, is that I walk on my toes when I'm barefoot (which is most of the time)
Sometimes I have the need to extend my neck or stretch my legs for no reason at all and if I don't, I go crazy.
I bite my lips most of the time.
I just get up and walk around the house for no reason at all just to think.
I hate walking up stairs that are crowded, it drives me nuts.
I want everything to be clean.
Hm...i think that's it. ::)
I blush very easily, I don't even know why, its annoying >_>
I notice things most people don't even think about.
I can look at most things and at least somewhat figure out how they work (That's actually more useful than anything)
I can start a crapload of things, but I never finish most of it.
Apparently I overcomplicate things.
I do just enough for what is required; i've been like that for years actually.
I ask questions I know answers to already to get different responses, which is probably why people think I'm stupid.
I look up useless info (such as the transfer rate of PCI)
I like taking apart things to see how they work, and then wonder about ways it could work better.
I'm a pessimistic person by nature, though I can look at the bright side with certain things.
I hide emotions very well (Which is why most people think i'm emo, because I never look happy most of the time. it takes something major for me to change emotions)
I always ask "Why?".
I try and figure out why stupid things happen to me. I fail miserably 98% of the time.
I look for ways to use things not intended for their original use.
I study certain types of people; for no reason.
I think that's it?
I always put my head on my arm, even now.
I can never study.
I never stay up later than 3AM.
I always forget something.
I look different in every picture.
I always find myself deep into thought.
I rarely study for anything, if ever.
When walking I ALWAYS have to have my hands in my pockets.
Whenever I"m in competetive gaming matches, I bite parts of my lip.
I just remembered, whenever i'm in the shower, I play the SpongeBob theme when he is at the doctor and has the Suds in my head. I don't know why, I just have ever since i've seen that episode :P
I was so bad at concentrating in school, back in 1st grade my teacher had these blue cardboard things that went on the desk so I couldn't look around. I usually lost concentration anyways by poking my pencil through the hols in the cardboard thing. To get rid of it I had to eventually prove to the teacher I could concentrate and do work. Another thing that teacher did to get me to work in school was to put in a good word to my parents so they would let me stay at my uncles for a weekend.
I never liked doing work =p
... Wouldn't you like to know...
Haha, jk. Ermmm, let's see... One of my knee caps is bigger than the other o_O
Whenever I'm standing up, I always have my hands in my pockets unless I'm carrying or holding on to something. I really don't like my arms just hanging at my sides.
If I don't listen to music on the bus, I get really tired and/or fall asleep.
I use "..." a lot when typing.
There's probably more...

o.O
I like the fat on the bacon, I white and can somewhat rap, and much more...
I have a tendency to twirl my hair when it gets long.
