I'd love to hear about your quirky habits.

One of mine is that when I'm out in nature I tend to collect cool looking rocks, sticks, cones etc. My window sills have become a geology exhibit (and I have zero clue about what I'm collecting, I just go by "ooh shiny") and more often than not I'll have small rocks in my pockets, bags, backpacks etc etc

I have a load of them, including yours (collecting random bits of nature). I will also eat the same foods for breakfast and lunch, sometimes for years on end. Probably the strangest one is that my adult son and I often speak to each other in LOLCats. LIke, "can I have" turns into "I can has" every time and so on.

My girlfriend and I are autistic and we get absolutely stuck on some meals for long periods of time. We also just cycle through various catch phrases and noises we'll repeat until they get replaced by new ones

I love those little "secret autist languages" that develop when you're around each other for long enough! My friend and I used to have alternate names for everything, like "catus" for "cat", or "hello penis" for "jalapenos".

The noises I make at our cats are something else lmao

Yup, lots of random noisemaking around here. We cannot talk about any sort of beans without both of us chirping "BEEENZ!" in a high-pitched voice. You'd never guess we are neurospicy, oh no.

Weird noise gang! I make what my friends refer to as "notification sounds" or "alarm sounds", funny little noises when something unexpected happens
