quirk [kwerk] noun- A peculiar behavioural habit: "his annoying quirks"
(dictionary.com)
You know how some people do certain things in a certain way, and they think they're the only one in the world who does it? Well, they're wrong because chances are, out of the billions out there, there's always someone as strange as you. :D
You are not alone. Let's hope not.So... In an effort to get to know each other more, post a quirk! As many as you like. :) Just don't double post. Don't be afraid to share your weirdness. Embrace it!
One of my quirks is that if I happen to be eating chips while on the computer, I use chopsticks instead of my hands. It's easier. I don't have to get food all over my laptop and I don't have to keep wiping off my hands/washing 'em.
I also get to work on my chopstick kung fu.What are your strange quirks?
:haix: one of my quirks is that when studying i have to have my chair facing backwards for me to study
Is that the only way you can concentrate or...? o_o
Also, I'm curious but does that happen in school as well? Like if you have a study period or something?
it did happen when i was in school i got alot of looks and know i can concentrate no matter what its just how i wanna sit
Ah, I see. That's interesting.
yes quite intresting
If I don't listen to music while studying for school I forget half the things I read...I fluff rape my animals. :=D:
I hate spicy things but I LOVE flaming hot cheetos.
I won't get on a boat unless it's my uncles boat.
I chew on my fingernails ~ like i play with the nail in my mouth after I've bitten it off. :swt:
I won't touch a lawnmower with a ten foot pole. :indotz:
Whenever I eat pickles I suck out the inside stuff and eat the skin last.
There's more but I can't think of them right now xD
LOL Roze. Some of those are cutely gross.
I have severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and (thankfully mild) ADD. So I have a LOT of quirks. I'll just list a couple of the stranger ones...
1.) Since I lose focus on things quickly, I break everything I do into chunks and alternate them. For instance, tonight, I'm washing small batches of dishes and alternating it with typesetting Migawari 16, reading manga, checking the forum, and doing other chores. In rotation.
2.) I have a problem with many organic textures. Some of them are:
- Things that remind me of worms or wiggle around (spaghetti, for instance)
- Anything squishy
- Bloated, smooth, or swollen things
- Raw meat and torn flesh
- This: (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070413133209/wowwiki/images/c/c4/Rustmaul_Dig_Site_inside.jpg)
3.) I narrate everything I do and hold conversations in my head with people before those conversations happen (I plan out what we'll both say). Also, if I plan to say something and don't get to, I'll keep repeating it in my head until I get it out. This does indeed make me that annoying person who can't let conversations drop. I hate that, but I can't do anything about it. Sometimes writing it down helps.
4.) I have gerascophobia - the fear of old age. I'm petrified of getting old and my body failing, and old people creep me out. Touching old people's skin makes me feel gross. My mom thinks this makes me a terrible person.
5.) I have anxiety disorder and agoraphobia and some days have trouble leaving the house.
6.) I am an empath - I feel other people's emotions as if they were my own. THAT sure sucked during puberty... I also read people's minds. Not intentionally; I didn't even know I could do it until multiple boyfriends pointed it out. BUT being able to know so much about everyone around me makes it difficult to be out in public places; hence #5.
Don't know if I could call these quirks but
1. Suddenly screaming in the bathroom for no apparent reason.
2. Head banging the wall
3. I usually study while sitting on the floor
4. Dat moment where your just staying still and then you suddenly do the macaroni dance or other schimemabob dances.
5. when theres a mirror behind me I tend to SLOWLY look at the back like some character in a horror movie that turns around to see if someones there then suddenly a creep or some scary monster appears.

Ahahaha For this reason, I always turn around
really quickly.
Roze. xD That little nail chewing bit took it to new levels.
And whoa. New facts about Ver. That organic texture thing was super interesting.
@Pau
Do you mean the Macarena? I don't know what the Macaroni dance is but it sounds awesome. Also, I think you should start wearing a helmet and stop watching horror movies. o_o
Quirk: Counting things in the height of boredom, especially when I have to stay still for long periods of time. Be it floor tiles, cracks, leaves, spots, lines, sometimes even the bricks on a wall.
The most I've ever counted was 8,902 squares on a wallpaper. And that was pure counting.

Hahaha I pictured her wiggling around like a piece of cooked macaroni.

Dang. I've never counted anything that high and I have arithmomania (compulsive counting). Steps, rocks, etc. But then since I don't consciously do it, I end up starting over midway. It would drive me nuts to actively count wallpaper squares!
I like to stare at girls shaking their butts and bouncing their boobs.
I also like to tell spoiler alert, or something that I think might happen.
I used to add random beautiful people on my facebook/myspace/twitter/whatever...well...i still do....only with twitter/myspace. Because myspace is dead, it doesn't matter anymore. And twitter is just followers/following, so that's gud. ^^
- I can only ever remember phone numbers and addresses in Cantonese.
- I stare at anything or anyone that looks interesting and trace the shapes in my mind.
- If I'm listening to music while I'm walking, I have to walk to the beat no matter how fast or slow it is. I've tried to not follow the beat but it's impossible for me.
- I make random noises when I get bored or it's too quiet.
- I call my dog "kitty"
- I bite things when I get bored or nervous. Pens, books, finger nails, my ipod, erasers, chopsticks, pretty much any thing.

I do this too i just thought it was a band thing
@Ver
Actively counting thousands of wallpaper squares make a good job of taking the boredom away. :goodjob:
@Sally
Dat first quirk. Every male in the world approves. xD
@Krissy
Whoa, I got you pegged as a person who would like the silence, lol. Never mind.
@Jess
You're not going to post a quirk, Jess? :P
Quirks:
I...
1) tap out the seconds it takes for a person to reply with a finger/foot, especially when we're face to face. If they take too long, I start narrowing my eyes at them, hahaha.
2) must walk on the lines/cracks or on the tiles. Never on both. @.@

I do this too!! But...not pencils or fingernails, and not hard enough to break anything. I've chewed on my cell phone, hair clips, pillows, blankets, my kid's head (just to tease her), and sometimes my husband comes in to find me gnawing on my desk. He usually just cocks an eyebrow then backs out of the room.
Quote from: Vauxhall on July 16, 2013, 04:06

I can't STAND to walk on lines or cracks. I have to always look down when I'm walking so I can make sure I avoid them. I take long strides so it doesn't match up with the cracks in the sidewalk and trips me up sometimes.
Quote from: Krissy on July 16, 2013, 01:04
- I call my dog "kitty"
I call my cat "PIGLET" :shy:
^ LOL. Cute. *patpats*
@Ver
Did that happen because of some superstition about stepping on lines and cracks or something? o_o
Lol. of course any guys would approve...except those who are gay. I'm pretty sure they wont like to see that. o-o
Unless it's a guy shaking their butt, then yeah, I guess you're right. xD
Correction: *every straight male in the world approves, ahahaha.
Quote from: Vauxhall on July 17, 2013, 10:20
@Ver

No, I think it's a byproduct of the arithmomania because I tend to count them, too, if I'm not counting my steps. When I'm driving, I pretend the car is jumping over cracks and shadows in the road, too, and count those.
I have a really screwed up mind...
No, no. Not screwed up. Just more...imaginative? Or er...overly attached to numbers? xD But no, not screwed up. *pats*
No, no, I'm screwed up. I'm so bad that in high school I was borderline schizophrenic. But it's ok. After 28 years, I've made peace with it. And two of my stepdaughters have OCD, so having it myself helps me understand them. Therefore, I'm glad I do.
And actually, I'm really bad at remembering numbers.
Oh! But I have a photographic memory! Just not for numbers.
Ahhh, ok. But photographic memory? *jealous*
Does that mean you scored an A+ in everything at school?
Quote from: Vauxhall on July 18, 2013, 00:35
Ahhh, ok. But photographic memory? *jealous*

Whaaaa... *jealous too* No fair! >:(
Hmmm this is hard...
-If I am listening to a group of people having a conversation and I am not taking part in it, I start typing out the conversation with my fingers on an imaginary keyboard... >.> *too much time on the computer* Jeez, sometimes I catch myself doing this when watching movies!
-I'm a nail biter too, but whenever I'm REALLY nervous I HAVE to chew gum. I carry it everywhere!
-I can't stand loose change. Whenever I have it, I randomly drop coins onto the sidewalk or into fountains. Or on shelves... Just as long as the change is dropped. (Plus, seeing a little kid pick up a stray penny makes me happy! ^^) Change is too jangly.
-I don't wear nailpolish because I really can't. T_T I fuss over it too much, and one little chip or something uneven = *RAGE* lolol
-I can't stand when people read the ending of a book first or skip parts. Consequently, I can't NOT finish a book once it has been started. No matter how horrible it is...
I think that's all for now, but I'm positive that there's more. XD
Quote from: Vauxhall on July 18, 2013, 00:35

Nooooo. I actually developed it instead of being born with it. My memory used to be really bad, and then I realized that if something was really interesting to me, I would remember it
exactly so I somehow figured out how to control it. I can take pictures of things in my head if I know I'll need to recall it. And I can pull it up like looking at a photo album. If my husband asks me something I'll say, "wait, let me pull it up" and start going through the "pictures" until I find the one I need. If I'm staring at something with glassy eyes, he knows I'm taking a picture lol.

I'm the same way! Well, mostly. I have indeed stopped a couple books in the middle because they were irritating me and making me angry, but mostly I have to finish them. For movies and TV series, though, I have a tendency of looking it up on Wikipedia first so I know how it ends. That way when I get really nervous that it's not going the way I want, I can remind myself how it will end. I have no idea why I like this for movies but hate it for books.
Gome, i can't... no matter how much i try, ican't NOT stop resding if a book is not bad. (Cuz i'm sensitive and everything i read/watch affects me since i feel like a character there) :swt:

I do this too! When I'm listening to a lecturer or something, I imagine typing out every word he says. And I type it in rhythm.
Quirks everywhere~
some of mine:
- When I listen to music I imagine myself diving in and I try separating the individual instruments. It is really amazing n-n
- When I don't do that I start tapping with my fingers or feet on the beat. Side-effect of playing the base maybe...
- When I'm thinking I chew on my fingers, pens or pencils.
- I paint a background for a painting and then put it on display on my easel in my room to be tormented by not being quite sure how to finish it off. (there are currently 2 canvasses with backgrounds staring at me, part of a duo I'm trying to create)
When I think of more, you'll know~
I just found a new one: compliments make me work harder, because I don't believe I deserve them.
When someone compliments me, I don't think, "yay! I did something good!" I think, "Shit. I need to live up to that expectation."
Example: I cleaned all the SFX out of Switch Girl 45 because Kuri told me to try. Kiriane told me my redraws were really good, and now I feel compelled to clean every single SFX out of every SG chapter, no matter how painful it may be. And I went from being lazy about redraws to "THEY MUST NOT KNOW IT WAS EVER THERE" about them.
*dead
But I still think my redraws suck and keep putting notes in like "YOU'D BETTER COVER THIS BECAUSE IT'S CRAP."
dat happens to me too 0-0
its just scary wen people are expecting from you only to be disappointed later :noway:

Dunno if this is a strange quirk but when im trying to. o something, i tend to "forget" it in 5 mins. and remember it a few mins or hrs later.
Ex. Mom asked me to buy vinegar but just when i was out of the gate,,i forgot what i was gonna buy. Took me about 3 mins to remember what it was :swt:

LOL I do that a lot. So I now "carve" things I need to remember on my forearm with my finger. By visualizing it actually being carved in my skin, it's making it a permanent reminder until I complete the task. Every time I look at my arm, I'm suddenly reminded of the thing. It's a little morbid, but it works really well.
Once I've completed the task, I "wipe" it clean like a slate, running my hand over and imagine it smoothing out. If I don't do that, I'll subconsciously remember that there's something carved there but can never remember what - always a sign that I've completed it.
It's a very psychological technique, but that's what makes it so effective!
I think everybody has that at times. I run downstairs to get something and then I can't recall what I was going to get. When I go back up again it comes back to me... >:(
Yep, that happens a lot to me too. :swt:
I have this quirk, where I have to set out my stuff for my lenses in a certain way and order...
Lenses? Camera? Contacts?
Oh right. Contacts, I wasn't fully awake, forgive me... :swt:

Wow Ver! You're really attuned to yourself. I think it comes with age.
Not that I'm saying your old or anything. You just have more wisdom and experience so you know what works for you. But I do the same thing about forgetting things. I'll walk into a room and not know what I was going to do there. Usually I can remember after a minute or two xP
My dad has this really strange quirk, It's funny, he would walk into a room. I'd be in the living room, or basement, or anywhere really and he look around, look at me, and then walk away. He does it to everyone. Even my mom xP
We think its psychological partial-unconscious thing where he is "checking" in on everyone. But it's still funny xP
That's funny, and sweet somehow~
i think your fathers really lovable when he does dat :love:
He really is~

You ladies/gents are much different from me. O_O it takes me weeks/months or even years to remember. And I'd be like "Ohhhhh, so that's what I was suppose to do". Like I remember something and then when I do it, I forget, and then I remember again, and then I forgot. This happens a lot when my parents tell me to do chores, and I like forget about it; and get in trouble at the end. :3
LOL yeah, I think I've figured a few things out about myself. As "quirky" as I am, I kind of had to...Adaptation and all.
Did you have more quirks in the past? :whaat:
Yesss.... My OCD is really severe and it used to make living with me unbearable sometimes, especially for myself. I've overcome a lot of it but still sometimes have really bad days where I can't eat anything or move much because it feels like my skin is crawling.
:teardrop:
I've figured out ways to deal with most of the neuroses, though! :hmmm:
Good for you Dani! :goodjob: :cheer:
Thank you! :bow:
I hope you'll one day be free of them all!
Hee! Thank you! :pray:
You can do it! *h3r0
When I'm thinking,my mouth will move with my thoughts and I'll make faces involuntarily,but no sound will come out. :indotz:
People generally think I'm talking to myself and I get so embarrassed. :whirlpool:
I can imagine how awkward that is... :swt:

I tend to do what you do, except I do it with hand gestures as well. As if I'm in a drama club, but I'm not. xD
But yeah, I agree it is embarrassing.

I do this too! But I usually catch myself before other people notice. I think...
I discovered a new one! That unfortunately, my husband discovered a long time ago and has been exploiting for YEARS before I caught on.
If someone starts singing part of a song or a jingle and doesn't finish, I'll finish it for them.
Every. Time. Husband: "I like chicken, I like liver..."
Me: "Meow mix, meow mix, please deliver! DAMMIT I DID IT AGAIN!"
Husband: *cracks up*
......
Husband: "I like chicken, I like liver...."
Me: ....
Husband: "I LIKE CHICKEN, I LIKE LIVER...."
Me: "A HA! I didn't say it! ...verbally."
......
Husband: "I can't get no..."
Me: *whispers* "...satisfaction..."
......
It never fails. :whaat:
i do this too abby, but i think my thoughts out loud and sometimes i really do not realize how loud i am talk to myself. but i remember more this way, my mom hates it especially if we are shopping and she tells me to remember something for her, or i see something and i try to remember who as one. my mom gets mad and when people stare she is like "oh my chlid is like her grandmother crazy as hell" which makes her look bad for not getting my grandmother and me help lol
I keep getting amazed by how crazy your mother is...

mines even worse. not only does my mouth move with my thought's, they're attuned with body language too. kinda like shally's except when it gets extreme (like when i suddenly remember a veerrryyy embarassing flashback) itend to punch a wall or hit my head on the wall (....which may be the reason for my forgetfullness :swt: )

Don't worry pau, we all have these things where we amuse the rest :cheer:
oh my pau thats too far lol
Hehehehe
it has come to my attention that when people stare at me that i stare back at them and then give them the "come on fight me" gesture. i really did not know i did this.
LOL. I blow kisses and wink. I'm not intimidating enough for your method...
How did you learn that you do that?
Hahaha, just reading back is amusing.
@Ver
That quirk you have where you finish off sentences... Golden. Your husband is great. :goodjob:
@Pau
I think I just discovered another quirk of yours: self-violence. @.@
@Jess
You go, Glen Coco.
Quirks:
1) Due to a superstition I've heard as a kid, I've always stepped through the threshold with my right foot. Something about starting the day "right".
2) When people stare at me, I use my full height to stare down my nose at them. Mwuahahaha. The effect is glorious, if I do say so myself.
3) Whenever I'm shooting a free-throw in a basketball game, I always bounce the ball twice, roll it against my palm, and bounce it three more times before I shoot.
4) When I'm elongating stuff, I always consciously aim to stretch the letters/characters to 7 repetitions, ie "Whoaaaaaaa" or "Say what!!!!!!!". I've been doing it for years and idk why. (7's my favourite number and birth date.)
5) When filling out forms, if they're at different boxes, I always fill in my surname first before going back up to write my first and middle names. Years of filling in exam papers... orz

Dats a lot of quirks...did u realize them all while u wer in exams? o.O
Yeah, LOL. A month-long intensive study period + two weeks of exams will do that to you.
I found out #1 as I was walking into an exam room,
#2 was when people were staring at me since I was reading and walking at the same time,
#3 was discovered when I went for a short study break xD, and
#4 was when I was complaining on my Twitter, LMFAO.
Dat must hav been one long procastinating week :swt:
Strange quirk:
I tend to make a "sign" to a music i like. For example, when im listening to fireflies rock version by owl city i make a guitarist gesture, when im listening to sensitivity by alex goot i make three forward steps, and when im listening to rock and roll by avril lavigne i would raise my hand up and sing "and put up those LITTLE fingers to the sky" (error in lyrics is intended cuz m***** finger is bad)
Whenever I'm alone and the music is blaring I tend to sing along and sorta dance a little as well...
The music part gestures are kind of normal; just that it's embarrassing doing it by yourself while everyone else is like staring at your awkwardly. xD
I do that too, angel & pau. Except, I don't really do it publicly. :3 Too embarrassing.
Sometimes I imagine myself typing on a keyboard even though I'm just watching tv or doing homework on paper. It's like my fingers move as it goes when it wants to type something.
@ dandi, my uncle told me the other day about it because I did it to one of his friends

Your husband is great.

2) When people stare at me, I use my full height to stare down my nose at them. Mwuahahaha. The effect is
??? How tall are you?

Jess is right. 6'4'' by your measuring standards.
Holy crap. Your hotness level just rose 80%. I'd bow down
but apparently I don't need to.
I missed the connection there... :swt:
DANGIT!!!!
I freaking edited his post instead of quoting. %!@(%$U
I ALWAYS hit the "modify this post" button and catch myself. This time I didn't. Ugh. :noway: :omg: :donwan:
He said he was 6'4" and I said his hotness level rose 80%.
Right, that clears a whole lot up!
But I agree. Tall guys are better! *skip

I remembered why I quoted you! I said I do that too. But not often enough to constitute a quirk, I guess.
Only when I feel restless. *nods*
I tend to play the bass with my fingers when I'm listening to music, but I'm not holding my bass.
You play the bass guitar though? :o

Yeah, yeah, yeah... I'll just link to this over in the daily d'oh thread...
@Vally, yes I do!
@Ver
Ahahahahaha,
@Ange
Woo! Regularly? Are you in a band?
I suppose that explains part of your signature... I never made the connection. xD
For now I'm just taking lessons, but I'll start playing in a band in January!
You do get the other part of my signature right?
Woo! That's soon!
What other part...? o_o
I've been taking lessons for a year already, so it's not that soon? I'm really excited since a bass is a band instrument.
The rest of it?

I got in trouble with my dorm neighbors for this more than once...
Ignore the dorm neighbours and blast that music loud! :cheer:

I meant soon as in... you're gonna be playing in a band soon! xD
You mean the L-Angel part? Because I know that.
Yeah, that's true! I'm really excited!
Yeah that was it, you said you only got part of my signature, but it's all clear now
i like to dress my cats in baby clothes and then put them in a stroller and wheel them around the house :=D:
lol :=D:
strange quirk: doing a macarena like dance move for no absolute reason :shy:
Don't know if this counts: but I bite my nails when I'm distracted
i think it does.
OT:
[1] when im thinking, i put two fingers on my lips that makes me look like a person holding a cigarette (it was supposed to be like the pose where you hold your chin but yea. i got stuck on this habit.)
[2] when im watching anime/manga my face gives off the "im serious" feeling (so says my sister)
That's so interesting :o_o:
which one? #1 or #2?
btw, i found a new one:
whenever i pass by a mirror, i make sure to look at myself to see if my head isn't gone or if my reflection isnt moving on its own.
yea, i know they're strange hehe. :swt:
the one about my head disappearing is a superstition that if you see yourself beheaded/decapitated, youre gonna die soon.
The second one (the part about seeing my reflection moving on its own ) was thanks to that horror movie "MIRROR". now i can't look at it normally anymore (unless its daytime but night? no) .
In fact, i find it funny when I think about it. in my room, there are huge mirrors on the left and right wall. whenever i need to go to the bathroom, id have to pass by those mirrors so everytime i pass them id look at the right to check if im ok. then the left. if i think my heads gone, i say my whole name (they say if you do that, you'll be saved). if it isn't i continue on.

I think so too!
And I have seen mirrors as well... So scary!!!
i know! i vowed never to watched another horror movie because of it! (unless its required of course)
I want to touch everyone's legs. :3
A. that was random
B. that was a little creepy
thanks for the laugh angel lol
You're most welcome dear~
:love:
Congratulations for getting past 2000 posts btw Jess! :cheer:
thank you thank you, I would like to thank my sister, my dad, my uncle,..... oh and god
Hahahaha, amazing speech XD
well you know i try lol
Hehehehe, good try xD
:cheer: :woohehe:
Is it just me, or do you guys also play with your earrings (when they are in your ear) whenever you're not that focussed? I do that a lot... :swt:
i do that if i am writing an essay or doing a test
Me too! Especially during those times!!
i have a friend at school who stucks on her index finger when she takes a test, so i think messing with your earring is normal
Okay, that is a bit strange what she does...
yep and she thinks i am a germ freak because i think it is weird and gross
It's not like super weird, but a little to do it in public... Or yeah, do it at all...
true true
Oh well, we all have those little habits...
yep
I discovered another thing about myself, not sure if this is a quirk or not though... I HATE the sounds people make when eating or drinking, they really give me the creeps. I even go out of the room to avoid hearing them. I know I make them too, but I just can't stand hearing it! I think it is truly disgusting somehow... I never did before, and I hate that I have this!!!
I know the feeling angel, my aunt smack, slurp, and talks with her mouth full and it is so rude
It's not even the smacking and slurping, just the chewing and swallowing noises... :noway:
oh i see
It's just so stupid and it bothers me so much...
I'm really bad about finding something small not even 5 dollars and then putting it back because I couldn't find anything else to buy. I hate making small transactions below 10 dollars. Seems like a lot of work to stand in a line for such an item under 5/10 bucks. It has to be something I REALLY like or REALLY need otherwise I feel it's not worth it.
