I have to stab the bottoms of them. When I was young I was told witches made boats out of them so you have to make sure they can't.
To this day I can't stand to not put holes in the bottoms of the egg shells. Cruel trick by my parents. They made me this way.

I went to an all boys religious school (waits for it.....).
Once a week we had chapel.
I fancied myself as a bit of a mind-control expert.
As a form of mass mind-control experimentation every week at chapel I would will people to either stand up or sit down during various parts of the proceedings.
Astoundingly at numerous time during chapel - the hymn, reading and prayers I managed to make (almost) the entire congregation either stand up, sit down or even kneel. The few who didn't were usually chastised by the teachers who I knew I could trust as my mind-control police.
Every week I managed these herculean mental feats with nary a victim even realizing that I was doing it too them. Isn't it lucky I used my powers for mundane and not evil? I often wonder how boring chapel must be without the random stand-up,sit-down sessions I had instigated.
Strangely the only side-effect I ever noticed was a weird "clicking" sound as I performed these incredible mental gymnastics.

Cause they are really fast growing and get "stuck" often, which is extremely painful when you try to get them out.
I sometimes think that the energy my body uses to grow hair is what stops me, a relatively inactive person, from going into calorie surplus.
Not really odd but the regularity makes it weird I guess.

Through everything the British weather can throw at you with no running water, electricity, internet, TV or radio, while trying to stop the seagulls eating your cheese and worrying that one day you won't be quite fast enough on the half-mile uphill trek to the nearest bog. Then see if you really, really care what order you eat your chips in.

In my mid 40's, I have very few, if any habits.
I sometimes shower, then shave, sometimes shave then shower.
I leave the house between 7.00, and 8.30 am. I get home between 6.15 and 8.00pm. I don't always take the same route to work.
For breakfast, I will have a cup of tea. Or a cup of coffee. Or nothing. Lunch is eaten when I get hungry, which is any time between 11.30am, and 3.00pm
I can't think of anything that I do that could be described as a habit. This is despite the fact I'm married, with kids, and everyone else in the house follow routines.
Is that unusual?
[edit] just thought of one - smoking. It's a 'habit' because that's what people call it, but I smoke between 5 and 30 cigarettes a day.

Using my Swiss army knife (small blade), I score the skin carefully around the 'equator'. Then I do the 'Greenwich meridian', i.e. pole to pole and back again. Finally I do the meridian at 90 degrees to that.
The skin is now scored into eight equal segments. I peel alternate segments, admiring the beauty of the semi-peeled fruit for a few seconds before peeling off the remaining segments and eating the orange normally.
I've been doing this for many years and, according to Mrs G, it's one of my less annoying habits. She gets really narked when I fold my crip packets into a neat triangle, so I have to save them sometimes and do them when she's not around.

Didn’t really think of anything that I could contribute to QOTW until a conversation with my kids last night about presents reminded me of this.
Every Christmas day since I have had kids I will not let anyone in the family go downstairs to open their Christmas presents until the whole family is up. When the last person does eventually get up I will go down on my own to check if Father Christmas has been (We wouldn’t want to catch him midway through delivery as he might run off and leave half the gifts on his sleigh-ok I really use the time to turn on the tree lights/ put kettle on really but meh). Once my inspection has finished I pop upstairs and looking into the hopeful smiling faces of my kids I open my mouth and say..........
“He’s not been this year, may as well go back to bed”
Before throwing the duvet back over myself and pretending to drop to sleep again. Sadly the eldest has got wise to this (as well as the whole Father Christmas situation which is a bit gutting) but I think I have a few more years of it from the younger two.
I also spend way too much time thinking of gifts the kids could receive if they were naughty. I don’t see the need in using the threat of coal when the idea of a Barnsley FC supporting son receiving a Sheff Weds kit or the picky eater is left a jar of chilli’s (for some bizarre reason the youngest was scared he was going to receive a stack of knitting magazines) can seem like a much worse a fate.
I love being a dad!

I make the sign of the cross and thank my lucky stars that the story didn't break the week before during the 'Biggest Sexual Regret' QOTW so I didn't have to read a load of made up felching/rimming/fisting/scat/watersports/double penetration stories involving B3tards and the deeply unsettling father/son,husband/wife duo in some seedy Glaswegian swinger's club.

I enjoy the streets of the city, and will take most opportunities to walk somewhere instead of taking public transport or a cab.
As such, my favourite time to do this is on a wet autumnal evening, or wet spring afternoon, when the rain is hammering down, and everything looks romantic and like it's the backdrop of a cool film noir picture.
Thus I like to pop the collar of my good leather jacket, screw my trilby tight to my head, and line up suitable tunes to walk to - stuff with a good rhythm, a dark, brooding sound, and interesting incidentals - Ultravox I find good, White Lies, some New Model Army, perhaps a little Cure, and some harder-edged digidub.
Now that I've given up smoking there's no longer a permanent fag set in my paw, but it enables me to push my hands deep into my coat pockets and pull it tight around me, as I head through the people and on to my destination, invariably composing bad poetry in my head, about love lost, and opression beneath the grey skies of England.
