I've developed an odd habit that even annoys me.

When I'm deep in thought I'm now a 'clicker' with my fingers.

Far too many sporting superstitions to mention on here.

If I have a meal where there is fries/hot chips, I have to eat them first before starting on any other food on the plate

If I buy a lotto/keno ticket & the staff member makes an error, I won’t let them cancel it. I’ll buy that ticket as well as the one I wanted.
I have a can of beer in the shower every night after work.
I leave for work at 4am each morning, I always check on the kids and straighten up all the stuffed toys on my youngest daughter’s bed.
I’ve had the same Glenelg match day echo holder for nearly 25 years.

Good strategy. I worked in a newsagency as an 18 year old and accidentally printed the wrong ticket, customer wanted a new one, and that mistake ticket ended up winning div 1

We leave them by the side of the machine and offer to the customers before printing a new one. If by the end of the day they are not sold, the staff share them and pay for them. This particular ticket was sold about 30 minutes before closing.

I've always believed it's bad luck to leave any wine in a bottle so it must be finished before going to bed otherwise you run the risk of being comatose in a chair.

I've never seen this topic before - going through it now

It certainly makes you think about your own habits - some of which you didn't realise you had

Had a mate that always bet on a horse if the barrier number matched their number.

Another mate jumps on horses that have finished 7th in their last 3 starts

I think I have a few more nowadays.
I have 3 different styled glass sets, I seem to use them separately if I’m drinking juice, soft drink or alcohol, it wigs me out when a guest or my kids use them differently.

I’m the opposite, I eat them last just incase I get full, I don’t mind leaving chips behind.

I love meat and veggies, I always get through them first
