Old habits die hard

  1. What strange or normal habits do you have?

    I was going to call the thread "weird habits", but I thought normal habits could be just as interesting.

    Here's a habit I started some time after I got my job. Because for some reason or another, I generate a lot of static electricity when I work. It's a combination of the static charged air, the plastic bags, carpeted floors, and my own clothes. So I used to get shocked every time I opened a door.

    Some way down the line I developed the habit of touching the middle of the door, just above the handle, before I actually touch the handle to open the door. Because I deal with metal doors in most cases, touching the back of my hand against the door before opening it doesn't hurt as much as getting shocked in my fingertips.

    Now I do that everywhere. Even when there's no danger of a static charge. The other day, I was just thinking that if someone saw me touch the door before opening it, they might be puzzled.

    I guess if there's ever a fire on the other side of the door, this could save my life.

    It's just a weird habit I've developed. So, what kind of habits do you have? It could be anything, from stretching when you get out of bed, to biting the tip of a pen.

  4. I usually sing while I'm taking a shower.

    I also like to snack a lot, since I tend to think up the best ideas while doing so (???)

    and now for something more bizarre!

    While dressing up, I always grab the crotch area for any tears (a side effect from an elementary school embarrassment) after I put on my pants.

  14. My good habit is when I sleeping, no matter what happened nothing can wake me up and always wake up at 7am regardless the alarm.

    If earthquake struck and destroy the city at night, I won't feel a thing. LOL

    There is one time when a small earthquake struck my home in the midnight, my dad tried so hard to wake me up and while half asleep, my dad pull me out. I only remember somebody pulling me and the next thing I know, I was outside.

  15. I'm habitually paranoid, which is why I don't have a facebook account or post pictures of myself on the internet.

    I also have a habit of tuning out seiyuu when watching media in foreign languages. I've been trying to break myself of this one for years.

  18. I adjust my glasses alot and I look at my wrist watch (which I wear on my left wrist) fairly frequently. It's a bad habit because I find myself attempting to adjust my glasses when I wake, forgetting that I've taken them off (at night) and on the occasions I forget my wrist watch at home, I catch myself looking at my left wrist. D'OH! :P

  19. I always pull the door handle on a car after closing the door (only on the drivers side), to check and see if I locked it. And I do it with the keys in my hand.
