Bad/Strange Habits Thread

[AverageNinja]

Basically as the title says, you can post your bad/strange habits in this thread.
I'll start.
- When I'm watching TV, the volume has to be an even number, or you can increase or decrease the volume with steps of 5.
- I have this strange urge to eat apples all day long.
- I can't stop looking/drooling at guitars and computer components I can't afford.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys are going to be posting

Nail Biting, although this is getting better.

Slight Paranoia .... at the kids bedtime I make sure that the car is locked, doors deadlocked, windows shut, sockets off, lights off etc.... then randomly I think to myself did I turn the lamp off in the front room...and I end up checking everything again.....

Well, don't most of the forum members have that last habit you listed? At least that's why I am here.

 

[SPS]

Procrastination.

 

[QuietOne]

Cracking my neck and shoulders.

 

[RamboOC]

destroying stuff. Last year i spent about 800 pounds on pc stuff, now i don't even have a working pc. 4 motherboards, 3 cpus 1 psu and 1 hdd, and about 7 phones

 

[SeekaX]

i sleep to little but i can't help it.
i always leave important stuff till the last day, but i also manage to still produce a proper result.
i can't get rid of boxes from pc parts. my cupboard is full with them.
everything but my PC is untidy.
i stopped socializing irl about 2 years ago. (not really regretting that though because that is down to the people in my area)
i'm very impatient when explaining stuff to people who don't instantly grasp what i am talking about.
i am the devil's advocate.

Yep I crack my neck too, feels so good after though.

I do that too! so it can be, say, 24, 25 (it's ok to be odd if it ends in a 5) or 26, but not 27, 28 is ok...

I crack my fingers and wrists too but the neck and shoulders are the most satisfying ones.

Exactly why I love Windows 8 on my laptop, it's only got even numbers on the volume

- I can't stop looking/drooling at guitars and computer components I can't afford.

Minus the guitars. I can't play them, looking at them makes me feel jelly, lol

Wait, is that strange? I thought everyone did that..

This! Although for me I feel like it's because I don't initially explain it right, but why don't they get what I'm talking about anyway??

Other things:

• I sometimes have the urge not to walk on lines on the ground (even the "imaginary" lines that extend from walls).
• I'm EXTREMELY anal about code indentation. Also, you must use spaces.

Yup, especially the code indentation. I hate it when people use "<br>" instead of "<br />" or when people use "height:300px;" instead of "height: 300px;", not closing last lines etc. The same is for grammar though, I tend to correct everyone who doesn't say things right :lol:

 

[Spiderz]

Got some small things like finger drumming, nail biting and stumbling over my words but the massive bad habit I've just got is just getting on a "work, sleep" patter with next to nothing in between. I don't see friends (350 miles away), family much (same story) and don't keep in contact as much as I should and not done anything to help myself.

I'd be there all day using spaces, tabs FTW.
Are you a python 'programmer'?

 

[SieB]

Browsing the internet while watching movies or an episode of a series i'm watching, then lose track of what is happening or lose interest and never finish watching it.

Get lazy far to often and can't be bothered to cook, then I end up spending to much money on take out :\ damn you Just Eat!!

 

[QuietOne]

Bad habit - Smoking.

No, PHP for middle tier, HTML5 for front end, although I would thoroughly enjoy programming in Python if I had the chance! You?
