Shake my leg, I do it any time I'm sitting down. It's not really shaking.. it just goes up and down really fast.

I just looked down and im doing that atm haha.

From the top of my head I cant think of anything I don't realize I do, obviously, but I do know of a few things friends do that don't notice it.

- I have a friend who every 5 of so minutes of conversation randomly flicks his eyes from side to side then back.

- Whenever they are typing something and stop to think they tap the space bar repeatedly without it fully going down so it just rattles.

i hate when i autopilot in the car...all of a sudden im like...."what the fuck, i was not even remotely paying attention through that entire series of s turns and somehow made it"

and when im at work i do the same routine when im talking to customers i sometimes say things at the wrong time, "thanks, have a nice night" when i havnt even started making their shit yet.
"can i place an order?"-them
"yup anything else?"-me

Sometimes when I'm sitting in class I'll start tapping my pencil on my desk without really realizing that I'm doing it.  I also do the leg thing and make crazy hand gestures while telling stories.

When I am stoned, I stare at people hardcore. I'm not even thinking about them sometimes, but I catch myself staring at people way too much. That's why I always wear sunglasses when I am stoned, so I don't make everyone feel awkward.

i used to say "use" and "used" and other word like that "juse" or  "Jused" Then my friends called me out on it so i realized it and stopped

I eat my sandwiches on the back of my hand. I never really noticed that, then my friends called me out on it.

When my hair gets long I shake my head to get it out of my eyes, almost like a twitch instead of a shake though.

tap on random things, crack my knuckles, or grind my jaw.

Hahahahah, I noticed that too and was like wtf?


I remembered that people tell me I write wrong. Like the way I write letters starts from the bottom up, and supposedly nobody does it like that.

i got pulled over after going through that
had no idea what she pulled me over for
and i asked her how long she had been following me for she answered and i told her i honestly had no idea what she was talking about
i'm surprised she didn't make me step out of the car right there
then i went on some random ass tangent about art class and right vs. left brain
and in the end she somehow let me off without a ticket or anything

and another "autopilot" when i'm typing or reading, i have conversations with people that i have absolutely no recollection of

i don't realize that i do nice things for my girlfriend all the time, even though she doesn't appreciate it. and then starts fights with me over nothing and makes me feel like everything is my fault.


oh wait, i do realize it, she's the one who doesn't.

Drop that bitch like a poorly installed wall fixture.


But really, tell her to get with the program, or show her the door. If all else fails, fuck her best friend, and yes, even if it is a guy.

I have several:

I have a twitchy leg,

I snap my fingers without realizing

Uncontrolled drooling (especially during long lectures where i'm on the edge of falling asleep.)

Riding around campus on my bike, then suddenly snapping out of it and not remember where i've been the last minutes...

i clean my nose in a paper towel or a hanky, then i snort ...

Making eye contact with people without realizing it...

I afterbang when i jump down stairs...

I always promise to people i'll call them back or mail them, but then i end up procrastinating it for weeks, months, or even years, but not forgetting it....

When wearing socks my walking style changes into ninja-like sneaking, trying not to make a single sound....

I think more about doing stuff than actually doing it...

You are not alone /\

After a shower I procrastinate having to put my clothes back on.
Driving I almost always lean to the right, closer to the stickshift.  In Australia, I leaned to the left

beat me to itttt.

the other day i was sitting in my room, and my room mate had two of his lady friends over. i was just preoccupied with a phone call when they started laughing. i looked down and my hand was in full grope-junk mode. It's a comfort thing. I like knowing that everything is where it needs to be.

i stare at people, i have no fucking idea im doing it until they call me out on it.
i also say wierd shit that doesnt make sense in a conversation. my birthday was a few weeks ago, and people would wish me "happy birthday" and i would say shit like "you too!"
i say "have a nice weekend!" regardless of the day of the week.
