I can't fail to shoehorn a personal peeve of mine into the phrasing of the thread title so as to drive it completely off topic.

The company I write my rent check to every month is called "Gold Club Homes." When I write this out, I can't not hear a Mexican guy from LA saying "Gold Club, Homes." As in, he is addressing me as "homes."

This, but also in pictures with books in the background. Also, singing "Fasten seat belts while seated / Life vest under your seat" in my head a few times per flight.

The grocery store by my house always has tons of samples. I just realized every time I sample something I cant not say what it is in a funny voice.

When I shower I cant not wash from top to bottom. If I forget something as simple as my armpits I will start all over again.

Lately I've developed the need to flip things when I pick them up. I work with a lot of tools so if I grab a hammer or screwdriver, it gets thrown for one rotation and caught again. Same with silverware. If it drops, I get pretty angry.

Plates get the open palm flip to open palm catch.

Wow that sounds even weirder now that I've admitted it.

I do this all over my face, ugh. Habit's gotten so bad it's screwed up my skin above the corners of my lips. I'm trying to stop but I always catch myself doing it subconsciously.

I used to do this with my facial hair, though thankfully not with the eyebrows. But that was when I would just trim my beard instead of shaving it off completely. There would always be a few stray hairs that didn't get cut to a uniform length so I'd pluck them to even things out (or in an attempt to trim off jagged edges), inevitably going too far until I'd notice a few very sparse patches. Now that my routine is: 1. Shave hair and beard clean. 2. Let it all grow out a few weeks until it gets too long. 3. Repeat.

My plucking days are in the past.
