Do you have any strange quirks?

Hey all. I was just wondering how many people are like me and have strange things that they do, voluntarily or involuntarily. For quite some time now, I have no clue how it got started, I have had this thing about squeaking with my mouth. It's not really a squeak anyone else I know can do because I am missing one front tooth which is what allows me to make the noise. I tried doing it with that gap stuffed with marshmallows and it didn't work. It's hard to describe but all my friends, my fiance, and anyone who hears it thinks it is funny. Even my mom's soon to be stepson is amused by it. In fact, my mom is like the only person who is annoyed by it.
That being said, she herself has an annoying and strange quirk. She likes to make the clicking noises with her mouth, you know like you're calling a horse. She does it to annoy me so I squeak at her to retaliate and everyone else thinks it is funny. Her clicking annoys more people than my squeak though. If I were able to put audio in here I'd record a squeak but I can't.
Anyway, does anyone else have any really strange, amusing, or annoying quirks they'd like to share with us? If you remember how they got started, feel free to share. Nobody will judge you because if they do, they don't belong in this conversation. We should all be proud of our oddities. They are what make us unique!

I really do like your squeak sound you do. It is quite unique. Sometimes it sounds like a meerkat, and sometimes it doesn't sound like anything real. It's amazing all the different sounds it can make. An idea, maybe you can put the sound file of you squeaking up on a web page and put a link up to it in a post. Then people can listen to it if they want.
I can think of a few quarks that I do. The one that I do most often, is I have this habbit to bounce my leg up and down. I don't know why I do this really, but I know I've done it ever since at least sixth grade or so, so a long time. And another thing that I don't do as much anymore, but I did it a lot when I was little, is when I get real excited about soemthing, sometimes I'd jump up and down, flapping my arms like a bird. Don't ask me why I did this, maybe I had too much energy inside and I had to let it out somehow. Oh one more thing quarky that I've done before, is when I was young I would sometimes sit like a w. I try not to do this anymore, but in very rare ocasions I find myself doing it and I change posissions. It was a strange habbit when I was young, that has caused me to have rather big knees than normal. I'm glad I stopped doing it because it would have caused problems had I not.

Ooo good idea about putting it on a website. I have uploaded it to my geocities just now. I don't really have much on there but here is the direct link to the .wav file if someone wants to hear the squeak. There are three or four different ones and they are nothing compared to the range of strange ones I can do. Anyway this link is directly to get the sound so listen and laugh all you want at my expense!
