    I did think of another one as it happens. While driving myself, I rant constantly about other peoples driving skills, or lack there of :pac:

    Apparently when someone asks me a question with a yes or no awnser I almost always awnser "yeah no" or "no yeah" which doesn't impart the desired information as far as awnsering a yes no question goes, sometimes it even becomes "yeah no yeah" or "no yean no", it was only after a few of my friends mentioned it to me that I figured out why people always ask me the same question a couple of times in a row i.e, Someone: "are you going into work tomorow slipss?" Slipss: "yeah no" Someone: "...................ehh are you going in?" Slipss: "no yeah no. I might aswell, I need the money".

    I do the finger yoke too. I also have a tendency to lick my lips and mouth like a cat after I eat anything. Sit there licking for around half an hour. My leg also shakes for no reason. I used to sleep with my sister until I was told it was wrong. Stupid people with their mad laws on what u can and cant do :mad:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 348 ✭✭KatiexKOUTURE--


    miming songs randomly in class at school. and sort-of mouthing what im thinking without knowing it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 870 ✭✭✭Pen1987


    I mouth along to songs in on my ipod as I walk, which must make me look nuts.

    I hum the "7 nation army" bassline whenever Im bored.

    I chew my thumb nail when Im nervous. weird.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,183 ✭✭✭Fey!


    I, too, suffer from shaky leg. Drives people nuts.

    I also swear at other drivers a lot, which my friends, especially the non-driving ones, think is hilarious.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 66 ✭✭ptashka


    Have a horrible habit of watching other drivers ( looking right and left at crossroads, looking back when they are revesing, just generally keeping an eye on the road). Whether I am in a friend's car, my dad's or even in the bus. I don't mean to test or demean their driving skills. I am just a really nervous passenger.

    i do that too!

    and the shaking leg thing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,251 ✭✭✭The Walsho


    Supposedly, (I was quite shocked to be told this) that whenever I can tell what people are going to say, I mouth it along with them. That must be so damn annoying.

    I frown - constantly when on my own in public.


    :D

    Bit of a contradiction there??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 74 ✭✭Assez Bien


    I talk to myself while crossing roads and the like, as in if a car comes along while i'm crossing i'm quite prone to saying 'jesus that was close' or saying 'thank you' to a car that waves me on, even though they're not going to hear me. My friends have pointed it out to me on numerous occasions but i just can't stop!! I prob look like someone on day release!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,499 ✭✭✭Sabre0001


    The jigging leg thing
    The little finger thing
    Frown when I read
    If asked a question, I will sometimes say "what?" and then it seems to click in my head and I answer before they have repeated what they said...

    🤪



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,432 ✭✭✭df1985


    when i sit down and stand up i make an "old man" noise, that sounds like im in pain with arthritis or something.only pointed out to me recently and everyone notices it and finds it funny.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,157 ✭✭✭✭Alanstrainor


    Sometimes when I'm playing a complicated riff on my guitar I unknowingly pull funny faces... Can't help it

    haha, yeah i do that too, when i'm in the middle of a crackin solo i tend to pull some quite mad ones.

    I frown - constantly when on my own in public. Don't know why - as far as I'm concerned it's my 'relaxed state of face'. I'm not consciously frowning - I could even be in great form - on top of the world like... I know of this because strangers have been known to pass me in the street and say 'cheer up!' or 'Smile!' - how embarassing.... LOL:o

    Mentioned it to the OH the first time it happened and he said 'yeah, you always look moany'. But I wouldn't look normal going around with a goofy smile, right?:confused:
    I get the exact same thing, everyone always thinks I'm in a bad mood and asks whats wrong with me :D

    Funny that, I tend to rub other people's legs when I'm drunk.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,020 ✭✭✭mang87


    It has not come to my attention that I'm sarcastic in the slightest.


    I never noticed it until it wasn't pointed out to me by someone that I was not being sarcastic to in the slightest, when said person was not asking a very simple question like "what time is it?", and I did not reply with "at this point in time someone might comment something about it being time to obtain some sort of chronological device for keeping track of time, or some such. But I know for a fact it is not time for you to obtain such a device, because all of the people in the world that make these devices have decreed that you shall never need to own said device because everyone around you, at all times, will be ready, willing, and would even be enthused about enlightening you about current temporal matters, you diligent, hardworking, upstanding member of society you"


    Also, apparently, I don't stare at my friends tits a lot.

    heh a ton doesn't actually always equal a tonne.
    1 tonne = 0.9842 ton
    1 tonne = 1.1023 US ton

    so the answer is I don't know....

    i also just got that off google so don't know how accurate that is
    :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,005 ✭✭✭✭Toto Wolfcastle


    I go up and down on my tippy toes (never had to write that before!) when I'm standing talking to people. I didn't notice until it was pointed out to me 7 years ago, and now I still don't notice.

    I also scrunch my nose up a lot.

    I'm apparently very insulting at times. And i don't differentiate between people i know well and people i dont know that well when "dishing it out" per se. so people I don't know that well typically think i'm being a right arsehole to them, until they've been around me long enough to realise i don't even realise I'm insulting them. which doesn't happen very often for some reason...

    oh and i'm guilty of the old repeating what lots of times, even though the question has already sunk in.

    GOD I fcking HATE that. Always makes me stabby. They always seem to wait until you're halfway through repeating yourself too. Gits. Total fcking gits.

    Sorry.

    I also do the leg thing. I don't think there's anything I do that hasn't already been pointed out to me though. I'm pretty set in my ways.

    a colleague of mine used to do that when he was drunk.
    except they were my legs.
    suffice to say, I don't really drink with him any more.

    Janey baby, I also go up and down on my tippy toes. Might have something to do with my height though in my case, i'm rather petite, and have a lot of rather tall friends. Typical. :)

    Not at all.

    One can be very alone in the centre of Times Square at Mid - day surrounded by thousands of ppl.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,475 ✭✭✭bitemybanger


    Most obvoius one would be to snore


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,660 ✭✭✭Blitzkrieger


    the bottle

    I see what you're doing wrong there.....



    I always turn the salt bottle the right way in the chipper without consiously looking at it. You wouldn't believe the amount of people who pick it up and pour tonnes over their chips without looking, then spend the next five minutes trying to blow it off.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,890 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    stick out my tongue when running
    scratch back of my head when i get frustrated
    scratch my nose/face/head everytime the ball goes out of play in pro evo!

    Ah yeah you can be ALONE when in a busy place....


    But its not the same as "being on your own in public"

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Gizmodeon


    I do the leg shaking thing when I'm tired,
    also drumming on tables
    drove my mates mad for years
    I still wont notice until someone says it to me
    apparently its a drummer thing :p

    Also cracking my knuckles, drives everyone mad and I'm like "what I do?"

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 168 ✭✭Extraplus


    Apparently I smoke really loudly.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,048 ✭✭✭BobTheBeat


    I have been known to greet people twice in the same sentence.

    "Hey how are things how are you doing?" .

    My god, I automatically answer everything with 'what', even though I usually know what they asked. I think it comes from when I was slightly deaf as a child (fixed up now!) and always had to have things repeated.

    Also my mammy noticed years ago that I have longer nails on my left hand than my right... we worked out it's cos I'm a nailbiter that holds her book in her left hand whilst reading :rolleyes: nord....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 148 ✭✭Silent Partner


    I am guilty of Jigging Leg Syndrome and Guitar Face-itis (actually, have a look at Hendrix when he gets going).

    I also frown a lot. That can come across like I'm a bit aggressive and stand-off-ish. That's a bit bad because I work in sales!!! I work on it though. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: ......... :):):):):) .......... :D:D:D:D:D
    See?

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 68 ✭✭lovemypinkhat


    Apparently, my normal face is actually a dirty look. I've been told this by my brother back when I was in school...he said his friends who were in my school told him I'm always giving them dirty looks but that's my NORMAL FACE! I've become really conscious of it, especially as my OH's aunt said it to me one time when I did it to her. She was reaching for more wine and exclaimed at the top of her voice that I'd just given her a filthy and that maybe I think she shouldn't have anymore. Needless to say, at the the last gathering of his family, my face hurt from smiling so much...:o

    Also, I was kindly told by my friends a few years back that when I'm out I dance like a chicken.

    Was out a few weeks ago with a group of friends and when we got to the club we managed to get a table near the bar. Was sitting there drinking away when they all started laughing , apparantly when i take a swig out of my beer my baby finger sticks up- all the other fingers stay on the bottle but that one sticks out. Apparantly ive been doing this for years and i never noticed, they think its comical :confused:

    when standing still I almost always stand on the sides of my feet, or with my feet crossed, or both. can't be good for my legs.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,243 ✭✭✭truecrippler


    I get erect when I see YORE MA walking by.


    But eh... what do I do?
    Well when I have my hair short, I still think its long and try and push it behind my ears. Growing it long now, shouldn't have that problem now.

    i do this too


    my bf also delights in pointing out that i chew my lip/mouth in different ways depending on what i'm feeling - if i'm concentrating it's one way, if i'm cross at something i'm reading it's another way...
    don't even realise i'm doing it at all
