Many of the above...
In addition, toilet role. Must come from over the top when on its holder. I change it in other peoples houses and restaurants etc. I like to crap a lot.
Sandwiches. Must eat the rounded half 1st. Square half always looks more neatly presented therefore must taste better, therefore should be eaten last.

If im in work meeting's and they are boring me to death, i try and put off other people to see if i can get them to laugh out loud.
So, i twitch my nose like a rabbit and pull a face at them, and keep doing it till they crack and laugh.
Yes, i'm weird, but it passes the time.

Yes, i'm weird, but it passes the time. I was on a conference call a while back and someone had a fart spreadsheet that he kept "using" - it was childishly funny when a few people caught on - the host didn't realise...

Iron my socks. I like order and piles of neat socks and I like to wash my car in the rain. I suspect there might be something a little wrong with me.

I'm another one who needs Outlook to be the first application in the start bar, but I think this has practical roots. It always tended to be the first program I opened when I logged in in the morning - first check email then get on with other work - so it always happens to be the first app. So when it crashes and I reopen it and it ends up somewhere else on the start bar order, then every time I want to view Outlook I have to hunt for it, it's not in the first place I look any more. This will irritate me until I've closed everything else so Outlook is back at the start position.
It would be like swapping the position of buttons on your remote control or dashboard. You get used to where it is, now its not there anymore, you keep hitting the wrong thing.
I'm happy to discover that you can reorder the start bar items in Windoze 7.
My other odd habit is that I can't stand seeing shoes stored in reverse order. The left shoe of the pair has to be on the left, not the right. If they're just all in a big pile, I don't mind, but if the two shoes of the pair are next to eachother, left shoe has to be on the left.

You realise you are all doing it wrong? When the end of the toilet roll falls to the front it vibrates on the holder when pulled but when pulled from the back ir rolls smoothly as you are maintaining the tension between the spidle and centre of the bog roll. Try it!

I have a habit of jingling the change in my pocket, much to the OH's annoyance. I also find that when coming in from work, I line everything up on the kitchen side in size order, phone, keys, pens, and cigarettes, and the lighter must be sat on top of the pack!
No idea why, but Ive always done it

- I have to be playing with something all the time whilst working - Blutac, or a pen, or my phone, or something: a sense of unease comes over me if I am empty-handed.
- I have a zero-tolerance policy for ingrowing hairs on my neck and dig them out with tweezers even if it makes me look like an extra from Twilight. Pulling them out makes me feel better about the world in general. I think I'm a couple of steps away from those people who can't stop themselves from pulling all of their hair out.
- I have a one-a-day habit for ballpoint pens. I've never bought a nice pen, much as I'd like to, because I wouldn't be able to stop myself from eating it.
- If I am having a shower, I'll let it run for at least 5 minutes before getting in, just to make sure that it's hot.
Yep, I'm one of the weird crew.

Try it! I have never encoutered the problem of vibrating bog roll when despooling paper from said roll when orientated to feed from the top. You aren't by any chance a Labrador Retriever puppy with a penchant for wasting soft but very strong bum wad?

I'm the opposite....I think the rounded sandwich (what would have been the top half of the loaf) tastes better so leave that till last!

Vocal Minority said: Whenever I sit by a table or desk, off comes the watch, clasp closed, placed to my right. No reason, don't realise I do it half the time. Often glance at a blank wrist in consternation only to see my watch 2 ft away with.no idea how it hot there Just realised that as I was scrolling through this thread, I had, without thinking, taken off my watch, so I also do this. I'm not particularly superstitious with walking under ladders etc but I do like to 'touch wood' (grow up...) if I say something positive like 'if I get this job' or 'if the weather stays nice' because if I don't I'll curse it.

I salute single magpies.
If I see a pair or more then I can safely ignore them but one on it's own has to be saluted. If I'm in company I'll feign scratching an eyebrow.

I too have the watch habit but it isnt as obvious these days as I cant wear a watch at work. The walking around whilst chatting on the phone thing too, it drives my OH mad,I think it makes her dizzy watching me go round and round in circles . I only do this at home though if i am on the phone at work i am fine ( but they do tend to be very short calls)
