Or if I have my legs crossed...whatever leg is on the top, the foot attached shakes. It drives people nuts. Someone is always stopping my leg or stilling my foot. Problem is, I don't even know I'm doing it until they let me know...one way or another. I am trying to be more aware of it...
Interesting. Have you done it all your life? It sounds like excess energy to me.

There are times that I would like to throw something at one of those mowers!
Gawdawful is right. Those mowers are huge and fast and they're now used for the smallest swatch of grass. Talk about Greenhouse gases. i bet the mowing industry is fighting environmental regulations with their very lives.

Other peoples twisted phone cords? I consider that to be generous of you. I no longer have a home phone, but I used to unplug the cord from the phone, stand on a chair and let it untwist, kind of like you let the YO-Yo string right itself.

A good solution, osso.

Weird, huh?
Not as weird as you think. I think most of do a bit of double checking on these thngs before leaving the house.
I used to have a neighbor who had OCD full-blown. I'd watch him lock the door to leave the house, then walk a few steps, return to check the lock, walk away, return, again and again...a difficult thing to watch.

I can't tell if you are serious about this? Are you? Wow. That is quirky. Although, I could debate you about color, you know, what is blue, or green etc.

If i'm in a car looking out of the window, whenever I go past anything like lampost or the end of a fence or a curb drop, I click my teeth together.
I think it stems from a game I used to play in the car when I was little, and now it's an automatic reaction.
Teeth clicking. Only heard by the clicker?

Do you howl at the moon too?
