Re: Stuff that you think only you do.
When I get chicken Legs/Drumsticks from a place like KFC.
I like to crack open the bones and scoop out the marrow using the bone shards I broke of.
I normally start by biting onto the soft part of the knee and then twisting it off.
Doing this will make a fracture you can peel away like a banana and give you the tools you need to scoop the marrow.

Re: Stuff that you think only you do.
I take off my glasses and pinch the bridge of my nose when I'm either confused or annoyed
I tend to 'ash' my cigarette repeatedly or tap my foot when irritated or unhappy or in intense thought kinda like a cat that lashes it's tail.
Everything small enough to be fiddled with will be fiddled with.
I introspectively speak or contradict myself in public, sometimes not while in conversation.
I don't drink ice in my drinks. Not because I like warm drinks but because I instinctively try and chew the ice. I chase the damn things around with my tongue or turn the glass to get them closer to the rim (drinking in the process) which means I finish my drink faster than I would have wanted to.
Even though I haven't been waiting on tables for years I still 'spin', sometimes in very inopportune moments.
A direct link to my waiting job at Ocean Basket, if I don't know the answer to a question one of the go to answers that I have for it would be "fish" with a shrug.
This last one has worn off recently. I used to pre-pile the plates for the waiter when I finished a meal. Sometimes, depending on what's left on the table I would create symmetrical patterns with the cutlery and crockery

Re: Stuff that you think only you do.
when i enter a building (sometimes before I get in as well) i begin assessing the security in the building/premises...
my brain then runs through countless possibilities for breaking and entering.
none of which have been tried but could one day prove useful.

Re: Stuff that you think only you do.
@Helios Boredom and idleness, more than anything else.
A typical power cable is heavier, with reinforced plastic. I found that with very little effort (gravity doing most of the work), simply arcing it over the top of your head will have the cable fall down and hit low down on your back, and it kinda stings a bit. For *some* reason, I find myself doing that absentmindedly whenever I have a power cable of some sort in my hands.

Re: Stuff that you think only you do.
I hate wearing shoes. Whenever I visit someone, one of the first things I'd do at their place is try to get my shoes off. When it feels appropriate, at least. Like at a lan. Not really at a braai or such

You'd fit in in Sweden then, where the first thing you do when you enter a house is take your shoes off and leave them at the door

I'm still weirded out by wearing shoes inside, as well as by the prevalence of tile floors over there.

Nothing, because there are approximately 7 billion people alive today, and at least a few of them do something that I do.

Re: Stuff that you think only you do.
I have to take off all the little white veins on a segment of a naartjie/orange so that it's perfectly smooth before I can eat it; I have a mental block that makes me gag on it if I don't.

Re: Stuff that you think only you do.
I roll smallish pieces of paper (like credit card receipts) into tight rolls and keep rolling them between my fingers for hours. Usually only with my left hand.
Occasionally I will also use them as ear buds as I have a problem with excessive ear wax.

If you've done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear,
if you've something to hide you shouldn't be here.

Even in my own house, I will still keep my socks on.
When someone is approching you and you're looking at their body language, I judge people mostly off what shoes you are wearing. You can tell a lot by someones shoes.
I try to relax about these things when I'm away from my office and on holiday... but I don't always do such a good job of it. I'm extremely picky about personal presentation.
Shower 2/3 times a day depending on what I've been doing.
Not germaphobic, but due to the nature of my job, I'll end up washing my hands up to 30 times a day.
I absolutely hate shaking hands with someone I don't know. I don't mind if it's even the first time I'm meeting someone.... as long as I'm supposed to be meeting that person.
Like shaking a clients hand makes me shiver. I want to pour petrol over them and set them alight.

Re: Stuff that you think only you do.
I'm kinda the opposite. I'm trying to be a lot more neat, but effort. I have to remind myself to wash my hands often. I love hugging people.

Re: Stuff that you think only you do.
When I'm alone at home. I sometimes try keep my eyes closed as long as possible, kinda to see if I could survive being blind. Shower and dress with eyes closed, find your way around by feel and memory. The most difficult thing I've accomplished was making a delicious sandwich.
It has kinda taught me a few handy skills.
