Add me to the list of walking on cracks in sidewalks and the leg bouncing...supposedly my Uncle did it, so I inherited it.
 
I also wake up to weird number combination on my alarm clock. Right now, I have it set to 7:13. I don't actually get out of bed until it hits, at minimum, a 15 minute interval. For example, I won't get out of bed at 7:13, I'll wait until 7:15 or 7:30.

I never walk on the cracks on a sidewalk. If the sidewalk is brick, each brick has to be perpendicular to my foot for me to step on it.

I endlessly click the middle scroll button, then my left button on my mouse. Really fast.

I wash my hands if I touch anything that isn't mine or isn't on my body. If you've seen The Aviator when DiCaprio won't leave the bathroom because he doesn't want to touch the door...I've actually done that a few times.

I always open doors with my feet, if possible. Sometimes I use my elbows.

I constantly open my mouth real wide and stretch my jaw out. I just generally make funny movements with my mouth at random times.

Whenever I am writing the word "people", I always say it in my head as "P-E-O-P-L-E". Always have to spell it out in my head, rather than actually just say "people". Only when I am actually writing it out, though.

I am almost constantly dragging my thumbs from my pinky to my pointer finger, touching every finger along the way. Usually only with my left hand. I actually picked this one up from Jason Kendall (the baseball player)...he does it constantly, then I just started doing it one day and it stuck. I can't stop.

I do the leg bounce a lot, too.

If I am going to the bathroom before a shower, I always do my business, then pull my pants back up and zip the zipper...then take them off and get in the shower.
 
I set ALL my clocks at least 10 minutes ahead of the actual time. The worst of which is my alarm clock. I had it set 10 minutes fast, but then it would go off and I would internally know that I had 10 minutes extra and sleep in, so the next night I would add another few minutes so it'd be 14 minutes fast. This cycle repeats and now my alarm clock is about 3 hours and 4 minutes fast. Every once in a while I'll get frustrated and reset the whole process. But yeah, NONE of my clocks are set to correct time.

I do the leg jiggle too; I guess it got so bad that during a standardized test the proctor had to tell me halfway to cool it since there had been "complaints."

The first hour after I wake up, I will CONSTANTLY clear my throat.

:lol

Reminds me of the time I was taking a math test. As I recall, my "test pencil" (I use the same pencil for every single test) had no eraser, so I had to have an erasing pencil on my desk. I was stumped on one question, so I just started tapping my pencil on the desk. I just kept getting more and more into the pencil drumming...before long I had both pencils in my hand playing the drum solo from Whole Lotta Love. I almost had to take the test in the hallway after that... :lol

I get this urge constantly, because I have piano music going through my head 24/7, but I try to do it out of sight to be considerate. It looks unintentionally funny a lot of the time, but at least I'm quiet.
