Stupid habits you have

[bob]

The volume on my TV has to be at 10 unless I'm watching a movie. The volume on my computer must be 20, with it only being altered if I'm watching something on YouTube and I can't hear it due to the volume the person uploading the video set it at.

A lot of things. Like having to have stuff a certain way or else It will bug me to death. Like I always keep my Tv volume in places like it was counting by fives, 10 15 20 etc. Also little things like a little smudge on a screen drives me insane. I think I might be OCD and i'm really just starting to realize since i'm usually pretty messy but I guess its just other things that annoy me.

I've recently started doing the opposite. Every time I microwave something, I put in a time that has nothing to do with round numbers. Something needs to be microwaved for 30 seconds? I'll put it in for 32. (33 seconds has too much symmetry.)

Yeah I do that too, when I'm feeling particularly rebellious!

If someone sends me a document that has a section labelled WRITE NOTHING ON THIS PAGE, I will write the word NOTHING on it.

I usually just hit one button a few times, for the sake of speed. I heat things for 33, 111, 222, 333, etc. Of course, after 555, the numbers that work get much farther apart, but I seldom nuke anything for more than four or five minutes at a time anyway. Maybe 1111 for frozen carrots.

Yeah, if something needs to be in the microwave for more than five minutes, you may as well have just cooked it fresh...

I just added a new stupid habit: drinking scotch while playing 'Magic the Gathering' single player on my PS3.  I must be bored tonight...

I'm a fidgeter by nature and around office items I go a bit off the deep end.  I love unbending paperclips, wrapping rubber bands around my fingers and tapping pens on my desk.  

I can hardly ever sit with both feet on the ground.  I usually sit with on leg tucked under another one or at least one up on a stool of some sort.  I also often sit with a lean to the side.  I'm a posture nightmare at times.

This one is odd but I actually find it helps put me in the right state of mind.  Whenever I get about a mile from work I put on a typically angry METAL song.  It kind of serves as entrance music into my workplace's parking lot.  This is odd because I generally don't have to be too agressive at my job.

I HATE, HATE, HATE going barefoot unless I'm in the shower or in bed.  I keep my shoes on most of the day.  Even in 100 degree weather.  I won't wear sandals either.  

I only wear white socks.   When they start to get droopy I get a bit irritated.

I only like to wear white t-shirts that are 50% cotton/50% polyester.  I hate the feel of 100% cotton t-shirts.

Same. Except I always wear a pair of fresh "bed" socks in bed.
And yeah, the sound of naked feet rubbing or shuffling on the floor irks me to no end.

Yep...though I admit it is loony, I often wonder how people walk around barefoot or just socks. More than not there is at least one wet spot on one of my floors.  Stepping in that with just socks on would be enough to freak me out for a week. 

Yep, I'm a superfreak.

I have this stupid habit of never bothering or attempting to change or wash me undies....... 

This is not a habit . . . it's an art form.

[JaseSF]

Well I tend to be obsessive about some things such as (suspect I have a touch of OCD honestly):

constantly checking to make sure the fridge door is shut. 
constantly checking to make sure the doors in the house are locked when I'm home.
constantly washing my hands - not so abnormal in today's world nowadays though I guess.
constantly checking the weather outside 
I change my clothes also far more than most people.
