My wife, being a school teacher, has broken me of this one with pain. She looks at 25 kids all day, most of whom fidgit constantly, so when I do it, she's had enough and typically smacks me.

I'm a chewer, always have been.

Now we know where Munchkin gets his habits. The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree.

I was just thinking the same thing. CP now lives with two rabbits.

If there is anything at all obscuring my view of my clock when I go to bed, I won't sleep. Even if I can still read the time, if there is anything there it has to be gone. Unfortunately when I go into my room during the day, I usually set things right in front of the clock, so I am my own pain in the ass.

I'm an ice chewer, leg shaker, nail biter, knuckle cracker and a pillow flipper.

If I drive through a yellow light I always tap the dashboard, I don't know why. One of my friends did it, and I still do it even though I've severed connections with that friend.

I always go though the front door at work, I never use the back entrance unless I'm sneaking out.

I prefer to not listen to a song in it's entirety even if it means switching to the next song with just a few seconds to go on the current one. I love it when one song transitions into another one, less work for me.

Wow, reading back on this I'm messed up.

I have a friend who taps the roof of the car. Never known anyone else to do it.

Me...
I like my colored candies balanced. if I have a handfull, there have to be even numbers of each color. I'll eat the stragglers, then one from each color.
Two of each or four... two straglers, they go first.

I flip the pillow. A lot.

I pick at things. Strings, fuzzies on blankets... I can shred my clothes by pulling on a string.

If I break a nail, I have to cut them all.

My food/ beverages, need to be lukewarm. I cant do cold, it hurts my teeth, and hot makes my roscea flare. Warm thank you.

I count things. All the time. Very Monk like. Bricks, lamps, people, groups of people...

I am A perfectionist that starts too many and far too elaborate projects than I can complete to my own satisfaction.

Love technology, tools & gadgets

Hate bad customer service, Rudeness without reason & poorly cooked brussle sprouts.

Have a visseral reaction to very dry things in my mouth or watching others akin to fingernails on a chalk board which I also don't like.

Oh and I find getting my haircut a very sensual experiance.

I don't know if the sensual is the right word but I know where you're coming from. I find it to be very relaxing, I wish there was way to tell the lady to take her time without sounding creepy.

Cupboards ought to be closed. I will close yours if you leave them open.

What would it take to get you to follow CP around while she's in the kitchen?

Another one comes to mind, thanks to Freaki Tiki...

I set the clock in my bedroom an hour and ten minutes fast and have been doing so for as long as I can remember.

My theory has always been that when the alarm goes off, I have to think about what time it actually is. By the time I have figured it out in my groggy state, I'm awake enough to stay awake. Otherwise, I would wear out the snooze button.
