What is your most unique or peculiar habit or mannerism?

I bite my tongue when I think...I greet my dog by touching his nose with the back of my hand...I dont like to touch meat...

This one's easy. Don't really remember when or how it started, but when I eat...everyone remarks about the tiny size I cut everything into before I eat it. Seems normal to me but everyone cracks up about it. It's almost as if I'm feeding a toddler or something.

I'm sure I must have some, but I don't know what they are.

Judy, 62

I don't really have any. At least that I know of.  I am left-handed, however.

I thought I was the only one who scratched at my head all the time, but my friend Sol says he does too. So I don't really know, although I'm sure I have plenty.

I don't like to walk around in bare feet. I almost always have slippers, shoes or sandals on.

Other people find it peculiar, but I find it convenient to use six color-coded bookmarks in each book I'm reading.

I tend to make sounds or tunes in response to things that happen. I usually am not even aware that I am doing it. At teacher conferences, teachers would remark that my kids would make sounds in response to some of their comments. And I reply, "Oh really?" So I guess they follow by example.

I've got a lot. I'm fairly obsessive compulsive and/or anal retentive, so a lot of my habits come from there. Everything I own - CDs, cassettes, video tapes, books - has to be alphabetized, and I can tell within a few seconds if something is missing or out of place. I fidget a lot, and when I'm talking to people, I have the tendancy to arc one of my legs up and touch my head with my toes. That tends to freak people out.

I don't like my food to touch each other. i have to have clear boundries, and I have to make sure I'm positive about my decision when I decide to take down those boundries and mix the food. I'm not a big soup fan for that reason.

I am a clean freak - everything must be organised and neat, otherwise I stress and run around trying to clean up. Im not obsessive compulsive, but I like to be organised and controlled.

My wife thinks it's peculiar that I brush my teeth in the shower. I don't see anything weird about, but that's about all I can think of.

I don't know if this is really unique or peculiar, but the thing I get picked at the most for is that I have to either brush my teeth or chew sugarless gum after I eat or drink anything (other than water). I'm obsessed with my teeth feeling clean.

Angela, 18

Probably that I know mounds of useless trivia and I tend to spout off at the wrong times...

Nicci, 27

I guess my biggest peculiarity is that I'm so terribly un-unique.

Reba, 50+

Lately i've started to bite my hand when im angry and dont want to lash out.

Talia, 25

My mother says that I flair my nostrils when I don't tell the whole truth. hehe

Stephanie, 25

Quizzically raising my eyebrows.

Jane, 62

Raising an eyebrow.
