The only one I can really think of that I have is that I absolutely cannot shut the car door once I get out, unless I physically pat my front pants pocket, and feel the keys jingle in there. I am quite neurotic about it, believe me. Even if I clearly remember putting them in my pocket, and my arms are full of gear or groceries or whatever, I still have to set everything down and feel for my keys, or I cannot move on.

Its like a law or something.

How about you?

After losing my keys in the middle of nowhere, and finding them still there 4 days later,
I agree.

I stutter, bad when I am tired or very edgy....

but on the plus side, I have met a few hot woman that have said it turns them on, so hey, it does pay off from time to time......

I point with my pinky when I'm directing someone to get soemting or go somewhere. And I play with my earrings when I get bored or nervous.

Every so often I'll pat my ass to make sure my wallet is still there.

I also lick my thumb and index finger before pulling up my socks. My ex-wife pointed it out to me. I realized I do it to give my fingers better traction on the sock.

I can't Pee in a public restroom unless I go into the stall and lock the door behind me. I think they call it being "Bladder Shy" but I think it makes sense, no way I'll ever get mugged in a restroom with a door between me and "Mr.Mugger".

So can you give me the "Readers Digest" version here, I'm not much for reading fiction, I would watch the movie though,LOL

I'm constantly tugging at the hem of my shirt to confirm my holster is covered. Don't know why I'm so neurotic about it, as this is an open-carry state. I guess I just don't have as big balls as SinstralRifleman.

Always step away from the bowl after taking a dump, pull up pants, check the bowl for any items that may have fallen in (keys, money, cell phone....) before flushing.

Socks inside out. It's the only one I know of, though I suspect my sons could fill a book with them. BTW, best thread I've seen in a long time.

I always drink out of the same glass and use the same fork (odd one in the set) .I am mental about my keys, wallet and cell phone.

[#25]

Before I get in my truck I pat the pocket to make sure my wallet is there.

When I leave its the keys I check for... ALL THE TIME.

I break my chewing gum in half if its the large sticks.

When Im out shooting praire dogs/hiking with the AR I click the mag out and slap it in repeatedly for no good reason...

A bunch more I cant think of... because I dont notice them until someone points them out..

I stand about 3 feet from the toilet when I take a piss.

I just hate accidently touching that cold water.

I keep feeling the handle of my carry piece to make sure it is still concealed. Anyone who was looking for it would see it quickly.

Key check... Yep

Shirt hem pulling... Yep (though I do try my best not to)

Wallet check... Yep

Check tactical folder not lost by bumping it with my thunb (again trying not to draw attention to it)... Yep

I also squint my eyes when I'm thinking hard or trying to be witty.

I also have a hard time not checking out a woman's chests.

Dang, I got problems.

I have to check my alarm clock like a billion times before going to bed. Couple times not waking up on time will do that to a man.

Oh, and if I'm sitting at home, the sound of someone else's music drives me batshit insane. Comes from living with two very inconsiderate roommates during my sophmore year of college.

Yes, my friend. I'm just joking. And no, I don't touch people's faces either. Its wry humor.

If I'm talking to a woman, my eyes gravitate towards her chest. But that's okay, because I usually look down when talking to people anyway.

I also assume that whenever people shout, it's at me.

Can't lock a door until I confirm I have the key to unlock it on my person. Especially to my car.

Periodically checking concealment over my CCW weapon.

Always put things in the same location when I arrive home at night.

I'm constantly checking for keys, wallet, phone and knife. Not just when I sent down or every 30 minutes.

Wash my hands/face entirely too much.

Take 2+ showers a day.

Besides that I'm one messy SOB.

Check my alarm clock several times

Always check for wallet, and phone after I sit up

Tend to check my watch a lot when I'm nervous.

As a matter of fact, I constantly check my CW, wallet and alarm clock as well.

Plus, before I leave the house, I do a complete 1st line gear, door locks and safe check.
