    Default Odd forum habits/quirks

    Whenever I type a response to a post, I read it over a couple of times for spelling and grammar errors and hit submit. I don't know why, but it never fails that I miss a few spelling and/or grammar errors when I look it over again after it's been posted and have to edit it to clean it up.

    Do you have any odd habits or quirks when you're posting here (or online in general) that make you chuckle at yourself?

    It's actually "Submit Reply", so obviously you didn't check your post for perfectness well enough. Stupid.

    I dunno. I see the blue icon beside a forum name on the index, and don't realize that it was MY post that was the last one, and end up reading my own post again. But that's not that weird...that's just me being stupid.

    I went through a period where all my posts were just smileys, and it amused me greatly.

    I usually try to be somewhat witty even if it doesn't add to the topic. Example, if I felt like it I could've just replied with an in this post in response to Del's post. I didn't because it would be predictable and dull by this point.

    I insist on making the 'talking' smilie. This has drastically insane consequences, as I have often found really old (several month old) posts where the icon is either the default grey box or *gasp* the one next to it ( ) !!!!!!!

    I then flip out and remedy the error, while cursing you all for not PMing me about it.

    My urge to say *hug*, *snuggle*, "hehe" or "plushie" are my worst forum habits. =P

    I copy my entire post to my clipboard before I submit just in case I timed out while typing it.

    I tend to post, and post replies. Often I'll add a smilie, other times I won't. Depends. Really.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    most things I post are stupid and no one reads them and if you do you shouldn't.
