Following on from the 'eating' thread in Let off steam, what annoying habits or mannerisms do you have that might annoy you're collegues, family or friends.
Sometimes I sigh a lot for no reason especially in work! I also say 'ok' randomly to myself when finishing a task or starting one or trying to give myself a kick up the butt, this even puzzles me as I have no idea where it came from!
When transfering calls I sometimes forget the persons name I know I should jot it down but I forget to do that also!
When I'm in a meeting I constantly shuffle about on the chair, my collegues must think I have ants in my pants but I just can't sit still.
At home I always have to turn a light on when I walk into a room even if there is absolutely no need for it, I know this drives my hubbie mad!
I'm sure there are other things I do that I don't realise but they are the ones I am aware of!

Just thought off one that i know makes h2b laugh a lot
If we are in bed and the duvet is really messy and more on one side than the other (now now girls) I would have to get up and give it a good shake (again - now now girls)!

I bite my nails. Now I wouldn't routinely do it in front of an audience of people but I do go at them

.
I'm forever blowing my nose. I'm paranoid about having an icky runny nose, even in Summer.

I have a habit of saying to Dh when I'm fed up "Don't do me any favours". It drives him spare.
I push the car door out with my foot. I've marked the inside of the car from it (tut tut!)
When we're at the beach I'm conscious that I tend to kick sand when I walk. Whatever way I walk I seem to scoop sand with my feet and fling it.
God I sound awful

I say 'do you know what I mean' a lot. A LOT!
Do you know what I mean?
I annoy myself with that one.
I kick all the blankets off at night, I hate to be too hot, that annoys H2B.
I scoff my food. Not noisily now or with my mouth open, but I eat really really fast! H2B won't have a quarter of his dinner gone and I'm sitting there looking at him.
Oh, I'm sure I'll think of a few more!!

Apparently I'm always making faces when I talk - I don't know why or what they look like but H2B often comments on them

(that makes me sound like some sort of demented clown doesn't it?)

My favourite phrase is "no bother", I say it all the time, "yeah I'll do that, no bother".
Also DH mocks me when I don't hear him say something and I'll turn around and say what, but my mouth goes up on one side

I also twirl and play with my hair a lot as it's curly and constantly in knots.
