That's a weird one Renton,it must play havoc with journeys etc.No, I don't have any habits or phobias.

what if it was right turn only?

Bizarrely she wud drive and drive and drive til she found a LEFT turn

How weird is that?

My habit - i have a real compulsion to clap my hands once after using the toilet LOL

Like . . . taa-daah !!

Turning right involves negotiating on coming traffic and judging the gap etc. - lots of new drivers go all out to plan a route with left turns only - I know someone who would only turn left on the way to work - it took her miles out of her way but the bonus was, two of her workmates got a lift to work. I don't think she ever told them the reason why - they thought she was just lovely.

this was many years ago - she overcame her fear of turning right eventually (I suppose you just have to bite the bullet and get on with it at sometime).

Habit i never knew i had is to take TWO goes to take all the ice cream off the spoon

One go - most of it gone BUT not all

Second go . . . its gone!!!

Weird

My mother in law did that, after she passed her test! 

Was at the hospital today with my son. A woman said can she take a wheelchair with her partner in it, as he had a broken leg, to the parking bay at maternity, which is a long way. the nurse asked why just leave him here and bring the car down to the door. Reasonable i thought..then the woman said....I have just passed my test and i dont feel confident driving

At the end of most sentences my mum will say,

"so . . . "

Ha ha ha - gotta love 'er

 i get a bus home from work - when the buses draw up I always look and see if I'll be able to get the third seat from the front on the left - if i can't I wait for the next bus.

 I think it stems from the amount of times I've missed my stop for getting off...... the Dame would understand 

that made me laugh Hoochie....  and a good time was had by all 

I don't think I'm a creature of habit....now I'll think of loads when I send this post 

i get up , put the kettle on , and then i must check my gas meter   dunno why , but i do 

Everyone has habits of some kind. It's when it turns into a ritual which controls your life that you're in trouble, though I've known people be able to live even with that.

I count the stairs as I go up and down - used to do it with my kids - do it with my grand children and .............do it on my own (every time)

Luckily, I only have healthy habits, like smoking and drinking. 

I recently got diagnosed as having ocd. I knew for years something wasnt right, and now i got it confirmed I have some very disturbing habbits that thankfully right now the pills are keeping under control

Better than having disturbing hobbits. 

ive got one of those too, small chap, likes mick hucknell

Yep, I read the thread title as " Hobbit Farming"  Bedtime I think  

" Hobbit Farming"

night night all, time for bed for me too.

Trollop? 

Night night all. 

Y'know the word thingy - well our old boss used to say it as "thingwee"

Which i thought was quite funny

Now i have got into a habit of mixing Thingy and Thing-a-ma-bob into . . .

THING-A-MA-BOB-WEE

 Its annoying me sooooo much ..... but i like it  

Some years ago I met someone called Mike who used to work for the same firm I used to work for. We talked for some time, then he started talking about someone else called Ted. Mike said that Ted had a habit of saying Actually when ever he was talking.

I didn't mention to Mike that throughout our conversation he also had kept on saying Actually

I love peanuts but I can't eat them unless I've eaten all the whole ones first so they get tipped out onto a place and the whole ones are segregated from the broken ones and munched first 

That's completely bonkers, Pengy! 

I have to eat the broken ones first. 

When I'm eating nuts...i have to bite the whole ones into an even half and then bite down the crack so they're halved again....hubby just chucks them all to his mouth regardless of whether they're quartered or not the caveman

gave up the bad ones.. smoking & drinking to excess.......i count cars in the street now, they have to even... think i should go back to partying

and, i have just noticed, the volume on my pc has to be an even number

your one million billion percent right, you'd have to be mental to do it the other way round

how like a man 

I have a habit of answering my own questions on the end with a 'no' As in 'Does anyone want a malteser'-no?  

I've recently realised that I have a weight inducing habit that really needs broken

I eat all the stuff on my plate that I'm not fussed with first and leave my favourite part til last.  This means that everytime I have a plate of food I eat almost ALL of it instead of eating the fav part first and then maybe leaving the parts I'm not fussed on.

It's hard to break though coz I've been doing it for years

I do this with the stereo in my car!! hahahaahaa!!

hello,not been here for a while,i too root through a bag of nuts to get the whole ones,and through a bag of crisps for any doubled over ones,i also when peckish go through OHs fruit and fibre and eat all the banana chips,and eat all the pastry off a pork pie (can't stand the meat or jelly bit)  when he goes in the fridge there is just a small lump of meat !!!!

Maggie xx

I think my s is playing up !!!
