One thing I've learned since coming here is that many of us goons think pretty highly of ourselves. I don't think of myself as particularly arrogant, but at the same time I have certain habits or idiosyncrasies that I feel set me apart from the unwashed masses. This thread has a couple of purposes - to share our little habits and see how many people share them, and to admit publicly that we all like to feel a bit superior from time to time. I realise this is a bit 'spergy, but hopefully my weird habits will make you feel a bit more normal and vice versa. Never spitting. I absolutely will never, ever spit. Haven't done since I was a kid and my dad told me it was 'uncouth'. And he's right. Unless you're spitting out blood and teeth after a fight, or rinsing your mouth while brushing your teeth, there's never a reason to spit - especially in public. If you feel the need to spit, swallow that poo poo down lest you look like a neanderthal. Being a social networking refusenik. I've never had a Myspace/Facebook/Friendster/etc page and don't intend to. The people who want to contact me can do so via email and phone (and ICQ/MSN if I'm on). People at my work have been fired for spending all their time Facebooking - and some people probably are about to be canned for Twittering. Quite loving right, too. Wearing correct funeral attire. I've been to about five or six funerals, and always worn a white shirt with a black tie. To me this is the only way for men to dress at a funeral, but recently I've been pretty shocked to see people turn up in jeans and t-shirts, colourful shirts without ties etc. Maybe I'm being old-fashioned in this, but I can't help but look down my nose at people who don't put any effort into how they dress for funerals. Getting things ready the night before. This probably stems from my childhood, where with five kids to take care of, my parents would make sure we set out our school uniform/gym kit etc. before we went to bed. It's a habit I've carried on into adulthood. Nothing quite like going to sleep without worrying if you've got clean socks or have packed the report you're working on. Taking care of tedious things before enjoying free time later. Again, another habit I carried on from childhood. I always feel better about lounging around and playing video games etc. if I've taken care of any tedious poo poo that needs done, like cleaning the house or paying the bills. Nothing quite like knowing you've earned your free time.

I never let my room get un-organized, every time I am done using something I put it right back where it belongs. Makes things easy to find in a rush, and if I ever need someone to go in and grab something for me they don't have to look through a bunch of junk to find something. Makes me feel good because most of my friends that are my age keep their stuff in a big jumbled up mess.

I put bottled water in the fridge at work from the storeroom even though I of course use a much more environmentally friendly Nalgene bottle However, as I type this I realize I don't do it because it makes me feel superior but because THEY WONT QUIT BITCHING ABOUT THERE BEING NO COLD WATER EVEN THOUGH THEY NEVER GET OFF THEIR rear end AND TAKE TWO MINUTES TO FILL THE FRIDGE UP ARGAJKSLDLGFKAS.

I can tell you right now that not having any sort of social networking, especially facebook, makes all your friends hate you (assuming you have any, OWNED). Seriously. They won`t be able to get in contact with you at a moments notice, they won't be able to invite you to parties and/or events easily, and they won't be able to share the good times with you via pictures. It makes you a tool. Nothing more, nothing less.

Efexeye posted:IM on your phone solves those problems quite nicely. Sometimes you make new friends. Those new friends would perhaps like to add you to their facebook. They can't exactly do that over IM as conveniently, since you don't have to be online on facebook 24/7. Plus, it's just drat easier. And everyone can see it. And then you can get mutual friends from other people's walls that you haven't seen for years and years. And it makes it easier to plant the seeds with women. And just, god dammit, it makes life easier and gently caress you if you don't have it. YOU HEAR THAT, GIRL I MET AT A PARTY, THIS AIN'T NO loving CINDERELLA poo poo, I AIN'T GONNA LOOK FOR YOU.

I'm taller than you* I use Facebook because it's a convenient way to keep in touch with people I don't see daily (believe me, if it were plausible for me to spend time with everyone I'm friends with on Facebook daily, I would,) but my Myspace and Twitter accounts lay dormant because I don't find them particularly useful. I recognize this as a matter of personal preference rather than being a technophobic douche who takes pride in refusing to even give trends in social networking a chance. * - statistically speaking, there are likely to be 135,000 people in the US who are equally tall or taller than me. You're probably not among them. In all likelihood, I am literally superior to you.

I can name off the top of my head every country in the world + disputed regions and locate them instantly on a map. It's loving amazing and people tell me that so I try to work it into conversations as casually as I can to impress people. It has a nice effect on foreign babes cause hurrr I'm not as dumb as the other Americans hurrr.

I have all the characteristics of a human being: blood, flesh, skin, hair; but not a single, clear, identifiable emotion, except for greed and disgust. Something horrible is happening inside of me and I don't know why. My nightly bloodlust has overflown into my days. I feel lethal, on the verge of frenzy. I think my mask of sanity is about to slip.

Understand Science Yeah, it's just a molecularly bonding electron being excited from absorbing an appropriately energized photon, losing energy due to vibrational/rotational forces, converting to triplet state, chilling there for a bit, then back to singlet state and finally relaxing while emitting a phosphorescent photon. Not that hard, really.
