Annoying Ex habits
I'm surprised that there hasn't been more replies in this vane but here goes.
I had a longish-term relationship at University back when I was naive enough to confuse being in love with wanting to be in love and not experienced enough to know better. And also mistaking a dry sense of humour for no sense of humour whatsoever.

I shall for simplicity refer to him as Vampy-boy (VB)'cause that is what he wanted to be.

He had some weird, not to mention annoying habits. These include:

Trying to eat gravy with a knife and fork. Not a spoon or a piece of bread like ordinary people. I can still hear the scrapescrapescapescape even now...

Picking his nose with tissues. That way he could rationalise it wasn't PROPER nose picking. Not too bad (I pick my nose too but only in private/when no-one's looking) but he did it EVERYWHERE, especially lectures. I had to tell him that no-one thinks he's the cool gothy guy but 'the guy who is always picking his nose with them minging tissues'

Always did cooking/anything kitcheny with his sleeves rolled down. Although I think that might be a guy thing.

Taking forever in the shower. I'm a girl with bum-length hair but can still shampoo/condition my hair and be out in 15 minutes. He'd take at least 30 mins. I used to ask him if he was shampooing every single leg hair one by one.

The toilet. Ohhh that was a bad one. He used to go 4-6 times a day but this was coupled with a very prim attitude to this which was an unfortunate combination (not to mention a bogroll black-hole). We (housemates and I)used to call the toilet VB's throne. He also had a condition whereby if we were ever in a hurry to get anywhere he would always have to take a dump. We called this 'the 9 O'clock Poos with your host, VB'.

Would as a matter of principle not listen to me. And then wonder why I nagged him to remember this/get that/don't forget the other important stuff etc.

Always try and walk at least a step ahead of me when walking together. I used to call this the 'Default of doom' and if he got too far in front I would put my arm out. This combined with the previous habit meant that often he would go straight past turnings I had gone down.

OK so apart from being a glutton for punishment some habits he did also have did include NOT wanting to live in a dump unlike most of my Uni friends at the time...

I used to go out with a girl
who was clinically insane.

She used to time how long I took in the shower, and moan if it was longer than she took.

She kept a record of how many times a day I went to the toilette, apparently a median rate of 5/day makes me a weirdo.

Then she gave the times I went for a shit a cute name. I know, bizarre.

If I was eating a roast dinner with gravy, she demanded I went to the kitchen and got a spoon. Coz that's the normal way to eat isn't it?

Nuts.

Almost identical
To a good mate of mine (so I shouldn't really moan about his habits behind his back, but seeing as you've already described them to a T!)

Except the whole vampire thing. And a few other things.

Well okay, not quite. Pretty much just the shower and the toilet. 30 minutes to shower AT LEAST, always takes a dump at the last second when we're waiting to go, always takes a good 15 minutes or so in the bog (never just a quick pee. Always a 15 minute disappearance, a little irritating when it's in the pub and everyone's out of drink ready to move on), and goes several times a day. If we're pub crawling, it'll be a case of "this one next, it has a good bog". I don't want to know what he does in there.

showers...
not just a means to get clean, but a moment for quiet contemplation, or simple laziness. I rather enjoy running a little hot water into the bottom of the bath, lowering the showerhead and turning up the heat, then lazing around in the tub until the shower's filled it to the brim. It's quite soothing - rather like excessively-warm rain.

30 minutes would be fairly brisk, for me...

Mmm showers
If I cannot have a deep bath I admit I am fond of a good long shower, especially after a run and to do girlie things like shaving limbs. However the time for those is not before 9 O'clock lectures of which there were many. Sciences and all that ;)

Oh yes, my favorite trick.
Good for hangovers. Half fill bath, power shower on, just sit, head bowed. The best of both worlds.

Vein.
Good grief, you sound like my university ex. "Weird" and "different from how I do it" are not the same thing.
