"Strange habits"

Not necessarily bad habits, or good ones. This topic is about things that you automatically do just out of habit, which, good or bad, people would just think of as strange if you showed them in public.

Go on, got any?!

That's one thing I do which almost everyone tells me is strange:

Turn the radio off as soon as I get in the van, if the radio is on. My brother (age 28) is a typical chav/boy racer type, and tends to have a tape playing very loud drumb and bass or rap.

Only thing i can think of is not getting out of the car until a song has finished.

I say sorry to bumping into someone even when its not my fault.

I remember a Dad was holding the door open for his kids, I walked through, and just as I was saying "thank you" he let go and it slammed me square in the face.
He didn't even noticed.

My family find this one strange, but I can't understand why:

When I want to have a drink, I'll fill the glass to the brim, so as to not waste any space and to get the most out of the glass. They think I should leave half an inch at the top like they do to avoid spillage, though I rarely spill it.

Oh, and when driving, I will often not take the shortest or quickest route to my destination, even i it's somewhere really trivial, simply to avoid awkward corners, narrow roads or anywhere that I might find difficult to manouvre around. I don't mind being stuck in traffic or having to stop for traffic lights or anything though.

Nah, I do that all the time. It feels so fresh and so clean :)

I prefer to sleep naked, even in winter. Would that qualify as a strange habit? (or perhaps too much information =P)

I walk around outside my house in just my boxers ^^ well in the summer time and usually when no one else is in the road =P

I get lots of thank yous =) it's just I do this thing so much that I still get lots of people who just ignore me entirely and sometimes when I'm annoyed I'll say with a slightly raised voice. You're welcome!!!!!!!

lol. Though in Singapore you really shouldnt do that, not long would they not acknowledge you, they'll also give you a weird look as if you dont know how to use a door.

Boy you guys should have seen all the looks I got when I actually cleaned and put my McDonalds tray away. I swear some people were open mouthed. You see they have people do that for you. And they're not lazy teenagers like are ones. So doing it yourself is like stealing their job, so it's a big no no.
