This question is making me conscious of more of these
Mostly linguistic ticks I was kind of conscious of but never really noticed before.

- Saying 'Thangyewverymuch' in an Elvis voice when someone hands me a drink
- Saying 'Here we are then' in an overly cheerful way when handing a drink to someone else (this was kind of a running gag when I was at college, for reasons too lengthy to go into here - all my other mates from back then grew out of it. I didn't)
- Saying 'Right then!', whilst doing a drum roll with my hands on the desk, before commencing on any arduous task
- Using the word 'Thingemebobski'
- When someone answers the phone with 'Hello, John speaking', always replying with 'Hello, Johnspeaking!'
- Shouting 'That tea's not going to make itself', if no one's touched the kettle within about 0.5 seconds of it boiling (in my defence, this is due to believing that making tea with water that's been off the boil for any time at all is just plain wrong).

It's a wonder everyone in the office doesn't think I'm an annoying twat!

Oh, hang on...

It certainly is wrong
to try and make tea from water that is not boiling, properly boiling, if it stopped boiling 5 seconds ago, it's not boiling.

Mum?
Is that you? I always make it proper.

Similar...
I finish phone calls with a far too highly pitched "Byeee". It's an ongoing source of shame that the final impression I leave people with is that of a mental.
