I lose EVERYTHING. It's been a real problem a few times. In high school I lost a check for several thousand dollars that my parents made out to the school for tuition. Oops.
I have a tendency to, uh, be obnoxious. I've been called an encyclopedia by many people, independently of each other. Know what that means? I can't help but to correct people every time they're wrong about something factual (well, sort of; I've gotten MUCH better at that throughout my life, and now I hold my tongue about 90% of the time; it turns out that people really do prefer ignorance to having their ego scratched for about two seconds). I also have an irresistible urge to educate people who really couldn't care less. Especially if those people are girls. Aaand especially if they're talking about something trivial. I'll spout off a random fact just to try to change the subject, which of course doesn't work. I know that correcting people and that doing that plus randomly educating people in addition to that is socially unacceptable, but I... don't care, at least not enough to change it. It's basically uncontrollable, anyway. I've been this way since I could read lol.
I interrupt people pretty constantly, but I blame that entirely on my group of friends; we all do it to each other, and I never did that before college. You have to be fairly assertive to be heard at all in a discussion with us.
I've had trichotillomania since I was nine weeeee.
I'm almost always biting my lips. Surprisingly, they never look nasty as a result, though when I was a kid my mother would always tell me to knock it off, especially when I made them bleed lol.
I don't get enough sleep at all. That's about 50% my fault and 50% the fault of just not being to sleep regularly since I was about twelve. Example: last night I didn't go to bed until 3:00 and set my alarm at 8:00 to get up early to write a paper due at 11:00. My fault. However, I did not fall asleep till 4:00 despite being desperately tired, and I woke up at 7:00 completely wide awake and unable to fall back asleep. Not my fault. It's currently just after midnight, and I have to get up at 7:30 for class. I'm wide awake even though I should be incredibly tired considering how much sleep I've gotten lately and probably will not go to bed until 3:00 or 4:00.
Ummm there are a lot more I could add, but the most annoying one is counting syllables in words, constantly. I group words that I read off signs or whatever so that they'll make twelve syllables and then rapidly say, in my head, the words in groups of two, three, and four syllables.... It's hard to explain. Also have been doing that since I could read. It's the most annoying thing in the world, I swear.
