Have you ever had time where, almost unconciously, you use your own personal habits from performance in everyday life?

Let me explain, with my own story (which just happened yesterday):

I heard a knock on the door, went over to it, and it was a courier guy. He handed me a package, then he handed me his little electronic touch screen pad and a stylus for me to sign my name. I signed... then proceeded to lift the touch screen up to my face, blow on it, and gently shake it... just like I would a freshly signed card!! The courier looked at me like I was insane, and I actually felt that way too.

Anyone have any stories of these "unconcious ticks"?

I just laughed so hard out loud. I've never done anything that extreme but just 2 days ago I had a stack of business cards in my hand while talking to a co-worker, and without thinking about it was cutting them and practicing some controls with them.

Your story just made my day because I could picture it in my head.

LOL... I also have a tendency to backpalm virtually any small card or piece of paper... I have stood in line for shows with ticket in hand, just continuously backpalming it.

haha yeah that happens a lot with me too. Same with a tenkai lol.
