Ever catch yourself balancing a penny on it's side for no reason while you wait for something, Like a game to finish loading or your food to be done? I have noticed me doing these sort of things alot lately and I'm wondering in what ways do you dillydally?
Heres a list of what I do.
1. Balance pennies on there sides.
2. Use a small item to tap on things.
3. Balance soda on the ridges of the can.
4. Mess with my hair.
5. Rub one of my eyes with the palm of my hand.
6. Tap my foot until it gets into a rythm.
7. Look for something to eat but never eat anything.
8. Messed with my glasses
9. Sometimes on long car trips I'll imagine a little guy running along side the car jumping over things. (mostly it's mario)
10. If i have some blank or useless paper Ill fold it or tear it up after a while.
11. Try to beat myself at imaginery chess.
12. chew on the skin beside my fingernails (biggest habbit, amazed my fingers don't look all Silince of Lambs.)
13. try to balance pencils on there erasers

What are most of your habits?

Have you ever tapped you foot for so long it takes minor effort to get it to stop?

I ALWAYS mess with my hair, making sure it doesn't look all bowl-cut but not too messy, either.

I also usually take off my glasses, and put them on some surface to make sure the lenses are all aligned and straight and everything. This isn't so much of a habit, though.

I do that in the car, too, actually. That's kind of weird!

I always have to pick up something and play with it sometimes for a half hour at a time. Usually in social situations. I explain it by saying I guess I have ADD.

One thing though that sticks out in my mind that pisses my off kind of is I bite/chew the fuck out of the skin on my fingers. All around the nails. My fingers are basically right haggered. New skin starts to grow and I have an uncontrollable urge to bite it off. It's fucked.

Something else is when I'm talking to people sometimes something they say I just completely did not hear or take note of in my mind. Like they'll say "Yeah man my teacher was a dick my cell phone rang and I picked it up and I was sent to the office" and I'll be like "Yeah I hate getting sent there what did you do lol???????"

pulling my hair out, biting my nails, biting my fingers cos the nails ran out, tensing all the muscles in my body incessantly. i do a lot of weird shit i don't know. other people think it's weird how my arm is always jerking around but it's cos i tense the muscles in it for some reason and stretch out my jaw tendon or whatever the heck it's called. i try to cut it out in public though cos it probably makes people think things like "he's a weirdo. he's got weird problems i don't want nothing to do with!"

i shuffle decks of magic cards all the time when i'm at my computer. like waiting for something to load or watching a video or just staring at the screen thinking for homework or whatever.

i also habitually CLICK the mouse like alternating right and left clicking just relaly quickly while reading stuff on the computer screen. this has actually gotten really insane and i do it just about CONSTANTLY and as a result people always get seriously annoyed if they are looking at the computer with me or something (which very rarely happens anyway so fuckem)

also the leg-jiggling thing.

I bite the fuck out of my nails, and when my nails are gone I bite the fuck out of the skin around the nails. My fingers start to get sore occasionally.

Also, this isn't exactly a habit but all of the males in my Dads family constantly tap/wiggle their feet. So I do it too.

1. I always put my wallet and house keys on my left pocket, car and cellphone on right pocket. Seriously, if they aren't arranged in this way I go friggin nuts.
2. Quite often I play with my hair. People call me metrosexual because of this.
3. Similar to Achiro, but usually when I'm on the car and not driving, I imagine this weird blade that cuts every possible tree.
4. When I stepping on a floor that has lines on it, I avoid lines.
5. When I'm climbing stairs, I always try to finish with my right foot.
6. I'm a narcissist sick fuck. But almost everytime before I shower or whatever, I stare at my muscles.

1. Wallet goes in right pocket, cellphone on opposite side of wallet from leg, rubbish goes in left pocket.
2. If i'm climbing stairs I ALWAYS skip stairs, I never step on two consecutive steps.
3. I tap my side with my index finger.

EDIT: I habitually open new tabs and get really pissed of when someone (school usually) is using a horribly outdated browser without tab support.

- I like to beat my hands on things to make sound.
- I mess with my hair almost all the time.
- Sometimes I try to avoid cracks and separations in the floor and concrete pathways.
- Tapping on things with my fingers and feet in general.
-Sometimes I will relate a song to a completely random person I see or know. Whenever I see that person, I think of the song and vice versa.
-I hate using the bathroom in bright lights; I prefer the light to be dim to very dim where I have little light(such as light coming under the crack in the door.)

I only just realised what Achiro said about a man running along jumping over things, and I totally do that. Just imagine this dude running fast as alongside the car.

I did that too, except it was a horrible monster out to get me and only at night on long drives.

Anyways mine is shaking my foot rythmatically, i do it to "rock" myself to sleep.

A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.
