    Default Idiosyncrasies

    Everyone has them.. even you! C'mon, just admit it - what is your idiosyncrasy? - what do you do that drives people around you mad?

    Back in the Danish High School I used to tap my pencil on the table when I got bored, and everyone around me would go crazy

    I can generally tell what people are thinking by the look on their face and the tone of their voice. It drove my ex-girlfriend mad, to the point where she broke up with me because I 'knew her too well;. Very amusing sometimes.

    I will also make fun of everyone with extremely harsh jokes. It usually hurts their feelings and I laugh at them for it.

    Are those what you are talking about?

    I'll say something like "What?" or "Huh?" even if I heard what the other person said >.>

    I guess so.. at least in a way. Idiosyncrasies are personal and meaningless "habits" that you do, which just drives people around you mad. Gum popping and tapping the pencil on the table really fast are classic idiosyncrasies

    I don't know if this falls under idiosyncrasy. I bet it does:

    I can 'crack' or 'pop' (depending on your vernacular) virtually any bone in my body (even parts that aren't technically 'bones' (keke you said 'bone')). A short list off the top of my head (moving down...haha):

    - jaw can 'pop' repeatedly
    - neck
    - shoulders
    - ribcage -- rare feat but doable
    - upper spin through hyper extension (bending backwards)
    - lower spin through hyper extension (twisting side to side)
    - elbows
    - wrists
    - knuckles (repeated)
    - joints in fingers
    - 'bone'
    - knees
    - ankles
    - toes

    Hmm, when some of my friends are trying to play a riff on guitar and they fail, I watch their hands and in like minute learn it right and rub it in their face. Which is funny, they all have like 6 months or a year on me as for how long they've been playing guitar.

    For the longest time, and perhaps even now, I can't spin my pen. I however apparently can do something really complex with pens in my left hand.

    I might record it and poast it on eoff this weekend

    I can't stop saying your mom. It just flows out of my mouth

    I used to twirl my mallets in band all the time. Didn't matter what kind. xylophone, marimba, bells, snare sticks, bass drum, chimes. I think I tried teh sleigh bells once too.

    I've always played with my pen in one hand when not writing with it, just spinning it round using a couple of my fingers. I also tend to randomly draw cubes when trying to figure something out. I don't know why I do that, it's just something I've always done and it's annoyed at least one of my teachers in the past. Otherwise, almost compulsively checking the time before and after I travel somewhere and just in general is another thing I do. That one doesn't drive others mad, but it drives me mad when I've not got a watch on and I go to check anyway.

    I'm very squirmy and can't sit still for long periods. It's not an attention issue, I just sometimes need to get up and move every so often.

    That, and I'm a spelling/grammar Nazi.
