French Fries and Maple syrup....not sure who i picked it up from...but damn is it good.

My ex-gf would open her coke can and then rotate the tab 90 degrees counter-clockwise. It was easier to find YOUR can when there were other around (like at a party). I started doing the same but clockwise. Now I can't drink from a can without turning the tab; it doesn't feel right on my lips.

I dip french fries in Vannilla frostie icecream cones. Can't help it.

French fries dipped in Wedny's Frosties.... picked it up from friends in high school.

Mostly I've noticed myself and folks I hang around with picking up phrases from each other.

This can be an amusing game of "new phrase of the week" at the office.

examples...

"that's not too pretty good" coined to indicate a fairly bad situation.

"technian" coined by a typo and used to address hardware technicians.

Also I am Canadian, so "pop" was always my word, but since my sister has been living in the states for a few years, I've picked up the word "soda" from her, and use it about 50% of the time now.

My son always wants to go through checkout line #7 at the grocery for good luck. Maybe someone will start doing that now.

These were already mentioned, but I also sometimes brush in the shower and eat french fries dipped in ice cream. I also use to squeeze out condiments from the packets onto a napkin and dip my fries into it, but now I make a tear in the corner packet and squeeze out the ketcup onto the individual fry like toothpaste instead. It's less messy that way too.

A friend has OCD and never liked the television volume on an odd number, so know I always find myself putting it on even numbers.

Using dvorak - comp sci roomate started using it to be l337er but it does feel more natural and I am typing faster

Eating french fries with honey mustard sauce - didn't pick it up from anyone, the guy who took my order simply messed it up but nowadays I regard ketchup as the work of the devil meant to deprive people of discovering the true bliss that is honey mustard

Peeling bananas from the bottom end (which is the end its supposed to be peeled from) - math prof showed us

Going shirtless whenever I use my computer - My other roomate did it because he said it was 80'- and he was enamored with the 80's

Putting up communist propaganda posters in my room - also inspired by my 80's roomate

My husband got me to start putting the volume of our electronics on a mutiple of 3. He also got me to pepper my ketchup.
I brushed in the shower till I got an electric toothbrush.
and I still sleep nekked.

when I'm bored or something I rotate my head to get somewhat dizzy:crazy:

The Internet. :D

My mother introduced me to the snack of peanut butter and maple syrup mixed in a bowl. yum.

I also ended up going from sleeping in shorts to sleeping naked after having my ex-fiance live with me for awhile and picking it up from her (wasn't an ex then).

I've heard that's the way monkeys eat bananas as well; might as well follow the experts!

I now drink canned soda from the side of my mouth; this way, your nose doesn't get in the way, and you don't have to tilt your head back so far.

Most of my habits are made by me. I say godspeed, I got that from The Rock, I always liked how it sounded, so I say that instead of bye now. Kind of like that, "Dont say bye, say see you later" idealism.

When I drink a can of soda (rarely) I pop the tab, then I turn it around and pull it off. Then I slip it into the soda. I cant say why I do this, seeing as how most of the time it will float at the top (pepsi is what Ive noticed). But hey, its habit now.

My uncle and my aunt do that. They are brother and sister. I always find it funny. I pull mine off for identification, and its habit, see the post above.

EDIT: I also wear my socks inside out.

posting on message boards.

A bar I used to go to always had baskets of popcorn out for customers, with a shaker of Worcestershire sauce. Now it's my favorite way to eat popcorn (no need to add salt).

Also, I used to have a friend (male) who was so lazy, he peed sitting down. Many years and one bad back later, I sometimes find myself doing it first thing in the morning, before I've had time to stretch my back.

In my younger days - we <i>all</i> used to drink like that. Of course, back then, they were even <i>called</i> pull-tabs. whenever we'd finish a beer, we'd shake the can to hear that sound of a pull-tab rattling around on the bottom (just to ensure it was really empty). Of course, having them in the can made us less likely to slice our fingers open playing with them.

when you pour some soda and it fizzes up a lot too make it go down faster stick your finger in your ear so ya have a lil earwax residue and then touch it to the fizz and it will make it go down faster then just touching it without the wax!

My friend used to always put french fries in his hamburger before he ate it. I thought it was odd, but now I do the same :(
