In the pub and other places
I have to wipe up the little drips and puddles from wet glasses or spilled drinks. I do it without even really realising, and my drinking buddies often comment on it, at which point I get all self-conscious about it.

I have to open packets of crisps flat out, even if I'm the only one eating them, but only when I'm in a pub. Anywhere else, and I open one end and fish them out like normal people do.

And I don't bite my nails, but I do pick the skin off my lower lip, especially if I'm thinking or concentrating - reading is particularly bad. I've done it since toddlerhood and until someone says "stop picking your lip!", usually with a look of vague horror on their face, or until it bleeds, I don't even notice I'm doing it. Consequently my lip always looks dry and chapped as though I'm a polar explorer or something.
