One of mine is when I finish wrapping my hair up tightly in the towel to dry after washing, I whack the towel where it’s tucked in, kind of like encouragement to stay tucked for the duration, kinda like a coach does when sending the kids onto the playing field.

    During the cold season, I will give all metal door knobs and door handles a little whack first with my hand before grabbing. I hate the static shock that may or may not be waiting and the whack absorbs it in a way I can anticipate it.

    I thought this would be more common but I don’t really see anyone else doing it.

      I do something similar. By whacking it (lol) my hand has enough momentum that the muscle twitch caused by the shock can’t overcome my hand’s movement, meaning it doesn’t jerk back uncomfortably.

    Economy of movement. I get up from chair, walk to kitchen. Always done as efficiently as possible, start to rise from chair, deftly pick up cup, smooth seamless turn, as I walk into kitchen I efficiently tilt, dance thru doorframe, step of feet perfectly timed to match curved motion of body, arm as it reaches for kitchen sink. Everything must be done as efficiently as possible.

      Same. I figure out the most efficient way of doing something, and do it that way every time forever. Until I learn a more efficient way, which becomes the new way I do it forever.

    If I put something down and it is slightly unbalanced, I’ll reposition it and then point my finger at it accusingly so it doesn’t fall over.

    I got dozens. Here’s one:
    I like to stand on one foot while brushing my teeth, putting my foot on my knee like in a yoga pose.

    Every fifth step I take in a sidewalk must have the sidewalk crack be perfectly positioned in the middle of my foot, then five steps later the other foot gets to step on the crack. Feels very satisfying but it does cause my gait to be a bit off at times lol
