These are foibles I have acquired and shaken off over the years. I am perfectly normal now (apart from the sexual kinks obviously)
1. Always got out of the foot of the bed (so I did not get out of the wrong side)
2. Pooed in a squatting position (though this is in fact much healthier)
3. Washed my hands whenever I touched anything
4. Broke interesting words down into three letter units
5. Repeated particular random phrases, often just a string of unconnected names, in my head and sometimes out loud, usually in the shower
6. Beat myself up about social gaffs that had happened years before and which everyone but I had forgotten
7. Mentally prepared a dramatis personae for a book after I had read it, but only of the first 30 characters and these in order of importance
8. Replayed conversations in my head etc (I still do this a bit, but what I do much more is rehearse future conversations)
Can't think of any others at the moment but doubtless there have been many more. My main foible these days is forgetfulness. If I think to myself, oh I must do that, and then do not do it immediately I will forget all about it until something else puts it back in my mind. Which reminds me I must do something about my car tax, it is two months overdue...
