I was just reading something while grabbing my shoes to put them on. I reached for a show, look down at it, and it's my right shoe. So I immediately put it down to grab my left shoe. Then it hit me: I always put on my left shoe first. :Q

What completely arbitrary quirks do you have that, while not having any impact on your life, seem kind of bizarre when you stop and think about them?

I have a problem dating attractive girls because I feel like I'm doing the same thing all the jocks and tools that I hate do. But I don't want to date non-attractive girls for obvious reasons.

I pull my shirt away from my chest all of the time, especially if I'm wearing tight clothes.

I ban people for the oddest of reasons. For instance, the third person to post below me is getting two weeks off.

I cut my food with my left hand.

We can't have such sinister activities here on AnandTech! Two weeks off.

I'm slightly OCD when it comes to certain things. For instance: Stacks of change must be perfectly straight, and I'll spend 2-3 minutes aligning them perfectly... yet I'm also kinda messy in other ways. My desk is a mess (which is where my change happens to be)

I can't leave anything in my recycle bin on my pc or even in the trash box in Outlook. I have to empty it as soon as something goes in there. Say I'm going through my PC and deleting old/unwanted files. I'll delete 1 file and then empty the recycle bin. I do this even if I KNOW there will be more files to delete later.

Shift + delete will delete files immediately instead of putting them in the recycle bin.

Same here.

Edit: I rarely feel bold enough for Shift+Delete. :eek:
