I can't stand hair touching my nose. One reason I have a ponytail.

Worse for me, I find myself constantly chewing on things. I've honestly had situations where I'd buy a packet of pens, and by the end of the week they'd all be chewed through, and I had to buy more.

Ah, another one. I hate it when people misspell the word 'sowieso'.
It's a German word, but pretty common here (same goes for überhaupt).
The word means
so-or-so.
As in: So is the same as so, it doesn't matter.
The best translation would be "it'll work, one way or the other' or 'I don't like you eitherway'.
Eitherway, it's created out of three words. "so", "wie" and "so".
The word is 'sowieso'. But it often goes horribly wrong
zowiezo
zowizo
sowiso
sowizo
zowiso
sowiezo
zowieso
so wi zo

Reminds me of something.
Someone spelled the word 'Equalizer' as 'egel ijzer'.
Which is rather funny. Egel = Hedgehog. IJzer = Iron.
Hedgehog Iron instead of equalizer. Strange...

Yep I know where you are comin from. That's why i have two large boxes of toothpicks on my desk and keep some in my wallet. Cause i was chewing all my pens and pencils. I went through high school never having an eraser, I would chew them to bits. Straws and plastic bottles caps are also things of choice to chew on.

I have a lot of nervous quirks. Anyone else here shake their legs? My brother and I both do. I don't notice it usually, but my legs are always bouncing up and down, usually just one of them. I always get told to stop at dinners cause it shakes the table.

When seeing something traumatic on TV, or in real life. And especially when reflecting on another's predicament.
Directly following the moment of insight, or reality overload (for want of a better term) I experience a strange sensation on the right side of my brain which can be only described as a brief sensation of bubbly fluid, or bubbles popping?
Hard to describe. I'd be interested if anyone here has the same experience.
Never met anyone who has, yet...

It's probably triggered by an emotion, but still.. Interesting. Never heard of it.

Might not qualify as a quirk(?), but I'm a complete anglophiliac. Besides ****ty teenagers and football (soccer to you amuricans), I love just about everything the british isles have to offer, whether it's food, music, litterature, history, cooking shows .. When I take a dump these days, I read a bit more from my book on british modern history. I'd love to have the opportunity to try and be a smallholder in England even though I'm sort of aware that as a dream, it makes little sense. Why not do it here? Better pay, family and friends, gorgeous surroundings. why England, why's that place any better? What's the attraction? I don't know, but I feel it!

When I sleep, I have to have a comforter on the bed, regardless of temperature, and it must be fully covering my feet and up to my ears. I can NOT have any part of myself exposed when I sleep, or I'm really uncomfortable. I think it may go back to my childhood, watching scary movies before bed when I wasn't supposed to, and then being all freaked out the rest of the night.

5 is my lucky number.

I absolutely have to close my eyes and daydream elaborate scenarios before I can go to sleep. If I can't think of anything interesting enough, I can't fall asleep.
