[Jacob(smooth)]

I stick my tongue out whenever I'm concentrating.

I finish every third sentence with "if that makes sense".

I leave the loo seat up.

I tell students to bring a poddo on placement with them.

[Neo-Scholastic]

I straighten all wire twisties.

[Waratah]

I always butter the darker side of toast.

[Cato]

Container lids (condiments, soap, bottled drinks, etc.) MUST be secured.

[BrokenQuill92]

I still look out the window

3. I have to eat my M&Ms and skittles one piece at a time

I eat M&Ms two at a time, one on each side of my mouth and they have to be the same color. If I only have one of a particular color I'll bite it in half and eat one half on either side of my mouth.

I also majorly M&Minize which I was told (by my coworkers when I described it to them) was really weird.

Whenever possible (usually when I'm sitting and have a surface on which to M&Minize) I organize my M&Ms into a bar-graph of colors, arranged in rainbow order (red-orange-yellow-green-blue-brown) with each column being two M&Ms wide. For example:

RR__OO__YY__GG__BB__BwBw
RR__O___YY__GG__BB__BwBw
RR______YY_______B___BwBw
RR______ Y

Then I eat all the singles (as described above by biting them in half) starting at the longest column (so in the above chart I would eat the yellow, then the blue, then the orange), then two at a time starting with the longest column until that column matches the length of the next longest column, then I trade off colors (eating them in rainbow order - eat the reds before the brown) until I get to the third longest column then I add in the third color and continue eating in rainbow-order (Red-yellow-brown) and so on until I'm left with only two M&Ms of each color. Then I start at the reds and eat them two at a time until the browns.

I ONLY do this with M&Ms. I don't do it with Skittles or Mike&Ikes or Dots or any other candy that comes with multiple colors. Only M&Ms.

If that's not quirky I don't know what is.

[Sejanus]

I cannot stand open doors.
I also prefer sitting with my back against a wall.

[mostlysilent]

I only eat the peanut butter part of Reese's peanut butter cups.

If I make a mistake typing I have to backspace over what I have typed and start over. I can't just mouse over to the mistake and fix it just the mistake.

I like drinking orange juice after eating something sweet.

[FlyingNarwhal]

I am always moving or fidgeting. If I'm standing I'll pace and if I'm sitting I will constantly bounce my leg, play with something (anything!) in front of me, or tap a beat with my hands and feet.

I only smoke in my car. I can go 8 hours without smoking a cigarette no problem, but I chain smoke in the car. I usually average a cigarette every 10 minutes in my car.
