Mine is watching ink dry, for example. I don't know. Quite possibly I just like the feeling that I just put something on paper, the illusion of permanence, that my scribblings will be seen a thousand years down the line, and I'm here watching the ink dry.
You?
...I regularly give my co-workers piggy back rides around the store during slow times.
my oddest habit?
hmmm... I can be pretty obsessive compulsive at times... I pick my food apart... I've never stepped on a crack in my life and I always walk on the white squares :P

me too 
Every couple weeks, I tip back too far, and make a huge crash as the chair falls. This is particuarly embarrassing when it happens in the middle of class. A few years ago, I was actually rather imfamous for doing that repeatedly. I've gotten a bit better with age, now I mostly do it in my chair at home, usually only worrying my family with loud crashes, instead of the school. You'd think after ten years or so, I'd be able to balance better. [ 01-13-2002: Message edited by: Chalesm ]

I have a bad habit of tipping back in chairs when I'm thinking or getting comfortable. Unforunately, unlike most people who tip back in chairs, I don't have a very good sense of balance.Every couple weeks, I tip back too far, and make a huge crash as the chair falls.

3 computer chairs broken because of me leaning back in them that werent meant to be leaned back in. My grandparents finally bought one made for me to lean in

I snapped the backs off about 5 of them, before I bought the black leather monster I now use. But then, my kitten likes to sleep behind me now, so when I stretch, the kitty go squooshie, meows in a rather indignant mannor, and claws at my kidneys.

Ragabash had this to say about Punky Brewster:
I can't stand windows that don't have shades. The main patio window thing has those shades that have multiple 5 inch wide plastic strips that hang down. I can't stand having even the slightest crack open in them. For whatever reason if I see a window without the shades pulled I feel like I'm being watched.
Yeah! especially at night... I can deal with a little light in the day but at night I have to pull every shade in the house or I just KNOW someone is watching me.
Out of the can...
COLD...
Only person I know who does that too was my exgirlfriend, Holly.
I don't eat pancakes with syrup, a fork and knife... I dissect them. I tear off the top layer of brown in pieces and eat them, then savour the insides of it. ^_^
When I realized what I was doing, I would unfold my right leg so I could work the pedals, but I often kept the left leg folded under me.
I did this alot more than I like to think about. Sitting that way is just too much of a habbit for me (I'm doing it right now in my computer chair). Just one more reason I don't drive any more.
Without it, I'm sometimes unable to keep my hands still... I always have to have something to keep my fingers occupied. Only exception is when I sleep... but I have to have something to play with when I'm reading in bed before sleep.

Hey cool Me too. hahah

The chair I use has had no back since last summer for that reason. And oddly enough, it is quite comfortable.
Instead of using toenail clippers to clip my toenails, I use my 2 inch utility knife. Works rather well, actually, though some times, like last night, for instance, I catch a little skin and have to disinfect it in the morning. 
And I like to play that knife game from Aliens .
Like that scene from Lunar, right before the last battle starts. I love Ghaleon's line there, so sometimes I act it out. It's weird.
Then we will see who is fit to be supreme ruler, and who... is dead!
I always need to keep my mouth busy. I'll suck on something, lick something, play with little objects in my mouth by moving and twisting them around. I'm gunna make some lady happy one day 
I also have the habit of fading in and out of reality. I will be writing and just stop and stare at something. At least that is what others see. I have day dreams constantly. Normally about my future. A little house and garden, etc.
I also have blood lusts. Sometimes I get the urge to just tear into someone. I normally just screw around by beating on someone who beats back. it gets funny.
I also have the habit of singing for no reason. In public places as long as someone does it with me.

Years of doing that has actually made me fairly good at it. [ 01-13-2002: Message edited by: greykittytwilight ]

Illanae had this to say about dark elf butts:
I stare at the bumps in the walls and ceiling, or the patterns in drapes and flooring and see things in them. Like faces. I guess it is like seeing objects in clouds, but I see them everywhere.
I do that as well.
I will bend paperclips etc if they are near me, but I won't go get one just to bend.
I will pull at my eyebrows when I'm bored, sometimes I end up with sparce eyebrows.
. Even when I use the computer, I don't sit down, I just crouch on the chair. It's just more comfortable, I guess. Also, when I walk without shoes on, I do so on the balls of my feet. Again, it's just more comfortable.They are tasty damnit!
I also really like the taste of blood. When I get a cut, I lick it until no more blood comes out. Even if it's a big gash. I just like the taste...

OMG, I do that too! From slices from my Xacto knife, to stepping on a nail, I literally lick my wounds. Sometimes when my friends are over, while we're talking I cut a little nick in my finger with my pocketknife and get blood all over the knife and my finger and I just sit there sucking the blood up as if nothings wrong. They've kinda gotten used to it tho, it doesnt really shock them anymore.
I also pop my neck/back/fingers all the frikkin time.
Anyway, for conscious habits, I am ALWAYS thinking about something, even if it's just playing a song in my head. My grey matter works 60/60/24/7/365.
I tend to do utterly random and spontaneous things, most of the time without reason.
That's about all I can think of for now.
