Check that my passport is still definitely in the bag and I hadn't imagined it being there a few minutes earlier.
This - I also have to check it is mine and I haven't picked up the Mrs passport rather than mine.

+1 - pretty much every half hour until I actually board the plane!
Also, locking the front door then having to go back and check it's locked 'just in case', even though it's never once been left unlocked.

I have a few things which are definitely a throw-back to starting working life in the army, despite the fact i left 18 years ago, still if i am stood still i have hands clasped behind back, still walk "shoulders back, chest out", still have the same cr*p haircut as i don't really know how to ask for anything else and i always have to have things in a certain order when it comes to pockets or on bike in bikepacking gear, if someone uses something of mine and puts it back in the wrong pocket or bag, i get a little uneasy!
That and watch the news still with a sense of optimism...

Procrastinate/stare into space.
Definitely comes in fits and starts, but this time of year it rears its head quite a bit.

Laces in shoes and boots have to overlap correctly.
Left - left over right
Right - right over left.For some reason this has always been particularly crucial for walking and climbing boots.

We should meet up, it'd be a right laugh!

Don't walk on a triple drain cover! (They aren't even drain covers!

I occasionally look at the "EU Referendum - are you in or out?" thread to see whether the sneering has abated.

Of course that does mean that only one of them is knotted correctly of course...
My habit is tapping the top of a can before opening it. I know it's pointless but can't stop myself.

Let's at least make it somewhere with a good view.

Log into a mountain forum occasionally even though I haven't ridden my mountain bike in aaaaaages.
Check everything twice, and then again to make sure (obvs)
Lay our clothes on bed that I'm going to wear, including bra and pants, just in case...

I'd not only check it was where it always lived but I'd get the driver to watch me check it when they picked me up on the way to the airport.

I always look both ways when crossing a one way street, having been run over once by a car coming the wrong way. Always amuses people i am with but i have to recount the story.

When picking up a newspaper (i.e. The Guardian) off of the pile in the shop I always choose the second one down, because once - about twenty years ago - the top one was damaged.

What if it's just a knob with no scale?

Quite right. I have tried changing the "over and under" for the knotting on one shoe but I've never got my head (and fingers) around it.Posted 15 hours ago # -

Always fill a glass of water three times. Fill, pour out, repeat and drink the third one. Completely wasteful and I have no clue as to why I do it.
In times gone by when water pipes were made of lead, that wouldn't actually be the worst thing in the world to do.
We moved into our current house 2 years ago and it had lead pipes from the water main to the house, and this was the advice from the council. We used a Britta instead, although I suspect it didn't help hugely.At the supermarket, when picking out milk/ yoghurt/ whatever, I never take the one at the front. I rationalise by convincing myself that the front one is probably warmer than the ones behind it.

Sit in the same seat in the helicopter every time, not even the one closest to the emergency exit so makes no sense......

Not a bad idea if you're not intending to eat immediately as newer products should always be put at the back to allow for stock rotation.When picking up a newspaper (i.e. The Guardian) off of the pile in the shop I always choose the second one down, because once - about twenty years ago - the top one was damaged.
I always do this with any magazines, or come to think of it any paper based products. I think its a habit formed in art school, but that's too far back to remember.Posted 13 hours ago # -
in order to protect the woman from the road
I believe the idea was so that a woman would not get covered in 'window shit' when the chamberpot got emptied in days of yore

I also do that leaning forward when overtaking thing in my van.
Its even worse in the 7 1/2 ton lorry.
Overtaking is so painful when you're only going 2mph faster than the lorry you're overtaking. I find myself getting really tense mid overtake.Posted 6 hours ago # -
I thought it was just the people in cars behind the creeping overtake that got tense

I wash my hands before going for a pee.
Several years of organic chemistry trains that into you.

That's not pointless, it's the One True Way and the cause of holy wars.
