    Pulling out flowers or weeds when your walking.

    Looking both ways for traffic on one way streets.

    Tapping your feet when your thinking of something to write.

    When a clock or something similar is moved, you continue to look to that old spot for the time but it's been moved!

    Some people are really anal about how tea is made.

    Yea, Jesus Christ!! I always put the sugar in AFTER I take out the teabag, I just stir both ways so the sugar will dissolve. I don't care how it tastes (could be like creamy poo), as long as I have a fag to enjoy I'm swinging!!

    The picking of various orifices never gets old.

    Our local priest came around to Pigheads mothers house for a cup of tea and a biscuit last week. Before you could say "Holy Traumatic Flashback Batman" Pighead was down on his knees whimpering with his trousers down by his ankles.

    I always leave the teabag in the cup with the milk and I never use sugar, the stronger and bitter the better.

    I'll always crumple the tinfoil off my sandwichs in work into a perfect cube, I always rip beer mats into smaller and smaller squares also.

    I also never take sugar in my tea and people always find it odd. I'm glad to see I'm not alone l31mr0d. You reminded me of another habit I have ripping paper bit (the part that the pint rests on) of the beermats off.

    After chronic masturbation that is one of the most common signs of sexual frustration. Apparently.

    Similarly to another poster, theres a game on my phone ("Lumines") that I constantly play when I get a free moment. It's purely out of habit, I don't know if I even enjoy it at this stage.. It's just massively addictive.. I even find myself turning it on subconciously in the middle of conversations and stuff.. Weird!!

    I work in tescos, and spend so much time "facing off" (arranging the items on the shelf so they're neat) that I do it by mistake when I'm in another shop or on my day's off.

    I hate people who do that, mainly because I was the one who had to clean it up for 1 and a half years, but it still gets my goat seeing people ripping them. I mean why?

    The sugar HAS to go in the tea and coffee before the milk. I won't hear any arguments to the contrary.

    Thats because you want a cup of coffee or tea not hot milk with coffee or tea added. Nothing odd about that!

    FFS - After reading through all those hot beverage-related posts I had to go back to Page 1 & find out what this thread was about to start with.

    Anyway... When I'm parking I always give the gearstick a rattle to make sure it is in neutral before I let out the clutch.


    OCD ftw!


    FWIW - Tea bag in, sugar, water, tea bag out, milk.

    How did a thread switch from Old Habits to How To Make Tea!?!

    Anywho, I always rip the paper off a coaster, draw on the now-white side of the coaster and stick it up behind the bar in me local. The drawing isn't a bad habit, it's the ripping the paper off. I'm so used to it I know exactly what type of coaster is perfect for taking the paper off completely with one clean tear.

    Breathing is another one. If I'm ever going to learn how to gain immortality I have to learn to breath without oxygen.........................eh, wait a minute....

    I blow into an empty glass before pouring beer/milk/... into it. Always have.

    No way my brother does that too, I was sure he was the only nutjob in the world who did that!!
    As I've asked him in the pub many times, does it not freak you out that you haven't blown into your pint glass before the liquid of choice goes into it??

    He'll be delighted to know he's not on his own:rolleyes:
