Is there anything you benders have kinda programmed into your being? Something your parents told you that was probably bollocks but you still do right now?
My mum told me that you have to pretend to spit when you see a solo magpie, like in the one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl and four for a boy rhyme. I still do a pretend spit to avoid the curse. Anybody else got anything weird?

My parents are Korean so they believe in this thing called fan death. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_death)
I grew up whole heartedly thinking that if the fan faces me all the oxygen will be blowed away from me so I'd suffocate. Even though I know all that is untrue, it still bothers me a bit to sleep with a fan on at night.
I absolutely cannot sleep on my stomach. I toss and turn a lot in my sleep so I always thought I'd suffocate cause my face would be covered by the pillow. One night I was like let's get over this and slept on my stomach, had sleep paralysis and never tried it again.
I guess they're not really habits but just ticks.

Can't sleep with socks on
More to come.

YES!!! The worst feeling ever.

If you have anything set to an odd number I will burn your house down. TV volume, phone volume, thermostat, air con, anything, don't care.

What if its like 81 or 27?
I get weird about numbers on peoples license plate or any series of random numbers and trying to derive some sort of pattern through it.
I also have tiny aneurysms when I read or hear terrible fucking grammar. Like my mother in law says warsh instead of wash. My wife picked up shit from her like tense agreement issues. Drives me crazy and it makes her crazier when I correct her.

Is 81 or 27 a mother fucking even number?

Wasn't sure if it was prime numbers. I appreciate 9 and 27 more than that asshole 17 and his bitch made friend 19.

QFT.
Especially volume, if that's set on an uneven number bad shit is gonna occur for you.

I'm a grown man who frequents a bmx forum.
-
And out crawl the freaks...
-
I pretty much apologize for everything. It's fucking annoying. Half the time I don't care or it's not important.
-
I always set my alarms to weird times. Like 7:32 or 6:04. I dunno why.

Me too. I don't like square bottomed cutlery and will swap it with someone's round bottomed cutlery before they get to the table if I can.
If I take fruit to work I will leave it on my desk for a few days until just before it's about to go bad, and then eat it. I know it would have tasted better two days ago but I still do it - it's like I'm holding onto it for as long as I can for no reason.
-
i get burgers all the way then take out everything and squish the burger flat before eating it.
-
I like to try and burp or fart before I do something nerve racking when riding street.
-
I like to cross my arms against my chest in the shower and let water pool up in the gap. Then I release it and see how loud of a smack I can get when it hits the tub.
-
I do the same thing with my foreskin.

Haha I do this as well.
-
I knock on wood. I know it does nothing, I'm not superstitious, but I always do it. Three little taps.
In the same vein, at work you don't say "quiet" or "slow". You'll get death stares. People also don't say the names of frequent flyer patients, like saying their name will bring them in.

I smell my dental floss after I use it. It's bad sometimes!

Quoted for truth. I do home hospice nursing and do a lot of on-call shifts. I will strangle someone if the wish me a quiet night.
-
I work 12 hour shifts at the little mine I work at. We aren't superstitious but we will stab some one in the throat if they say an hour into the shift "wow tonight's been easy" or something along those lines
I do the folded arm thing in the shower too

People who have their hands in their pockets at work can get the fuck out.

Although I'm not sure what that has to do with this thread... Had a guy I used to work with, actually a buddy of mine that got hired for the company I was working at, who was cleverly nick-named "handsinpants".

Bloke I worked with was called pockets

for a while i was clipping one finger nail everyday and my finger nails never got annoyingly long, it was great
-
I hoard old clothes I would never be able to wear again. I just can't part with it cause of the memories attached to it.

I do the same with band shirts. Little local acts, I never wear them, but I have probably 20 still after getting rid of maybe 25 or so.

My housemate does this. So fucking annoying. Not just clothes but anything. Old bent BMX pedals, fucked old stems. Whatever. I throw stuff away when he isn't looking.

When I get a glass of water from the sink I have to chug it, then fill it up again right away to drink at a regular pace.
-
Speaking of water, i fill a glass up every night when i go to bed but only take one drink of it and then leave them upstairs.

Yes.

Yes.
I thought this was normal. I do this everytime I go for a glass from the Brita.
-
Ha yeah I do this with water too, my new fridge has a water and ice thing so it's guaranteed brain freeze chugging it.
-
Yep I do that too haha
-
I wouldn't really trust anyone who just fills a bottle and goes. They're dehydrated and dillusional.
My strangest quirk lately would be that I listen to Quebecois music on my headphones pretty often.
-
Whenever I scratch on myself, I follow up with a sniff.
-
I like peeing sitting down more than standing.

I'm guilty of this when I'm at work on break. Don't need to stand more than i already do and i have more phone time..
-
I just see it as convenient. Pee sitting down, no mess, no fuss or lifting/closing.
Also love a good sit, maybe push a shit out at the same time.
-
I sit down to piss when I am drunk.

It's better for you too.
-
Not so weird then is it hehe
-
I like to talk to myself in the mirror on occasion when I've had a bad day..

Ha! Doggone it, I need to devote sometime telling myself people like me.
-
I put stuff in the microwave for odd times..
-
I like flat soda.
-
You're fucked up.
-
I like flat soda.
Amen to that

I have to align the lap joint on drink cups with my finger tips before I will take a drink.
