    What are some of your quirks? This isn't pet peeves or anything, just little weird things you tend to do or make a habit of. And maybe, just maybe, people find them a little weird. :)

    So people think this is really strange (idk makes perfect sense to me!!), but I have rules for straw usage. Sweet tea doesn't get a straw. You drink that from the top where the ice is cause it's refreshing, plus the melting ice makes it so that I don't feel like I'm drinking sugar water. Same for water, plus melting ice is water anyway. Soda must always have a straw because the fizz is at the bottom and that's where you want to drink from. The top gets flat because the ice is up there and melts, so there's water up there and you're drinking water mixed with soda and it's not fizzy enough. No one EVER understands my reasons for this and it's so frustrating lmao.
     
    A lot of people do this but I eat my foods in order. I always eat my vegetables first and I always make sure to finish one before moving on to the other. I then save my main item for last(usually the meat). Idk why I do this but it has always been a habit of mine.

    Same here, or I eat the healthiest stuff first and whatever I really was looking forward to eat last so the taste stays for a little longer.

    Yeah haha I guess this is my reasoning too. Save the best for last!!
     
    I make lists for like everything. I enjoy making lists and checking things off idk.
    I use dry-erase markers as much as possible for things.
    I do math for fun. Like if I'm bored I'll grab a random big number and factor it out to primes.
    Doing math kicks my anxiety and panic attacks to the curb. I can be sobbing uncontrollably and then start thinking about math problems and theories and I'll be fine right away.
     
    So at work I've picked up this habit of saying "easy" when someone asks me to do something or references something I do.

    My manager will ask me to do something, I'd say "Easy."
    My manager will compliment me on something I did, I'd reply "Easy."

    It's followed me into my every day life.

    I went to the restaurant with one of my friends the other day. I ordered my food, and they gave me a number to bring to my seat.

    "Put this on the salt and pepper shakers" they said to me.
    "Easy." I said back.

    They laughed.

    Another time I went to the drive thru and something wasn't ready so they didn't want me to hold up the line. So they asked me to pull forward and they would bring my coffee, I think it was, out to me.

    "Can you pull up a little and we'll bring it right out to you?"
    "Easy." I said.

    I'm sure I have many, many more, but this is the only one that I can think of since I have examples that came from it so recent.
     
    i say or whine "weh" when flustered or distressed both online and offline.

    not sure why exactly, it just always seems like the sound i wanna make whenever i'm feeling either of those things.
     
    I've picked up some speech habits as well but they're like... mostly slang I started using online haha. I say "ye" in response to people, "probs" instead of probably, "mabes" instead of maybe, "yo" when answering people... even my bosses lol. "Rad", "hecka", "hella", "bro", "en-bee-dee" etc have all made it into my spoken vocabulary. People often do a double-take when I use those. I don't care ahaha.
     
    I play with my toes. Like I hold my phone between my big toe, I pick things up with my toes from time to time. If I had a tail I could have totally been a monkey boy.
     
    ^ That reminds me, I walk on my tip-toes all the time. I don't even realize it usually until someone is like "y r u on ur toes" and I'm like "dude i've been doing this since i could walk back off me bruh"
     
    i don't really notice my quirks unless someone points them out to me :( one habit that was recently pointed out to me is that i softly bite my lip a lot. i didn't believe it at first but after i while i started noticing that i did, and i was bewildered. i don't even know why i do it haha

    I drum on myself randomly. I think it annoys people because the room'll be silent except for the sound of me tapping on my chest or my desk or something when people are taking a test etc in school. guess it's a byproduct of playing drums. I call people "dude" or "man" a lot, but I'm not sure that's really a quirk. when I am in an uncomfortable social situation I do this weird smile-y thing in an attempt to subconsciously dispel the tension. not sure what that is. there's probably more that I'm just not remembering.
     
    - Donnu why, but I always gotta have something in my hand when I'm walking
    - I call everyone "man"
    - I always underdress
    - For some fucking reason every time I do something embarrassing in front of people I'll just say "ladies?"
    - I'll chain smoke and snort cocaine but I'll never microwave plastic cause that's bad for you
     
    I'm my own percussion set. Fingers, toes, feet, hands... all make motions with the music. Sometimes I just let my body go and everything moves spontaneously and naturally.

    I've made a habit out of uploading 180x200 avatars in the mutual interest of my platinum avatar limits and the legacy postbit. Near as I can tell I'm the only one who does it.
     
    - I reply with random words when I'm not listening to the person:

    Dad: Okay, I'm going now.
    Me: Cheers.
    Dad: ...

    - I constantly play with my hair.

    - I can't sit still so I either: a)drum on myself; b)bounce my legs.

    - I eat my food in particular order.

    - I microwave my drinks if they're too cold for my taste.

    - I get into staring contests with strangers in order to establish dominance.

    & many more I'm too lazy to think of.
     
    I carry around my Keru blankey everywhere I go. I can't bare the thought of parting with him. I also refer to him as a real person. I also like to name my electronics. I named my phone Rainbow Dash because it's light blue. I named my nano Joltik because it small and yellow. Oh, and I love Doc McStuffins and Sofia the First, especially the second one more than anything. I take my pills in a certain order every morning. I flap my arms and squeal sometimes if I'm really happy, hyper or excited for no reason.

    Um... I make cat noises a lot. I love cats so much, and I can't help meowing like one sometimes either. I also wear animal hats wherever I go too. Another one is that I can only sleep when my room is cold. I have to sleep with a song sung by my hero on repeat the entire night just so I can go to bed (not sure if this is quirky though). I feel like my brain is another person sometimes because it does things that aren't normal at times. It's hard to explain this one. I also wear pajamas bottoms in public.

    That's all I can think of for now. Some of them may not count as quirks.

    I touch my face or tmouth when I'm uncomfertable, self-conscious or just not want to be in a situation, I use awful and outdated slang too.
     
    Ok this is kinda gross, but I have to wipe my ass after every shower. I just showered, so obviously it's not like dirty or anything. It started with me just taking shits after every shower, but nowadays I don't even take a dump and I still have to sit down and wipe bc that's how I roll; it'll legit bother me all day if I don't do it

    the more you know
     
    When I'm always bored, I hang out with my cousin in his bedroom. We play some video games, but, when I started to be bored with it, I just sit in his bed. Sometimes, my expression would be distant, and I would just laugh. Not that I'm crazy! I just remember some funny things that's happening around me!
     
    - Wet toothbrush after toothpaste is applied
    - Eat muffin tops first
    - I generally don't like looking at someone in the eye while talking to them, until I know the well
    - I colour-coordinate my shoes and belts
    - All clocks must be accurate to the second
    - Don't like phones
    - I make lists for all kinds of things. To-do lists even for things that aren't terribly important (like video games). I'm my own personal buzzfeed
    - Walk staircases on tip-toe. Not sure how that started


    More to come as I think of them
