I enjoy pulling apart dead people for similar reasons, though I havent yet tried to salavage any of their bits. Feel like that would be a slight ethical and legal dilema.

Yea, I don't think I've had a single good friend growing up that wasn't the same way
For some reason I really don't like to take the top lid, for my to go cups, at restaurants. It's like, only that one has germs all over it.

I can understand that.
Often I'll grab drinks from the back of the fridge at shops because the haven't been handled a much but also because most people are lazy and don't rotate stock properly, so the shit at the back is colder.

I am the same way with milk. I know that the front is probably the same or only a few dates earlier than the ones in the back, but I will go out of my way and do yoga move to get the further one back that I can.
Back in the day when I started working at a convenience store and was put in charge of stocking shit, there was dairy products 4 month passed expiration on the shelves

I love music, play in a band, appreciate the effort/talent required but don't really like to go out to watch live shows.

I talk to myself all the time. I'll lie down in public whenever I want to which is actually really nice. I've done it in class when I'm not feeling good and stuff. I also would rather just play video games than go out and hang out with friends.

I forget things really easily. Like the clothes on the drying line that have been there for a week, or what I just walked into a room to do, or shows that I really enjoyed but no details like songs they played. But at the same time I can remember a client ID number I used once 3 months ago in a matter of seconds.
whenever walking on sidewalks or in large areas with tiled floors I count the number of steps in each title and try usually.come up with. Rhythm like 3 step, 3 step, 2 step and repeat it for as long as I can.
sometimes when someone I care about is late with no explination I start to imagine how they've died, how I react to their death, what they're funeral is like, how I react when people bring them up years later. everyone always has a sensible reason for being late.
When im in a really stressful conversation I uncontrollably think about mundane but detailed things like pedal board order and no matter how much I try to focus on the importance of the conversation I cant stop thinking about that mundane thought.
I'm constantly hungry, even when I'm full. I also have a really strong guilt complex related to food I eat.
I type the phrase "hahah" way too often. it's almost like a punctuation technique.
I chew the collar of my t shirt when im problem solving, or nervous.
Ive been trying to fill my down time at work frantically the past week, but now that I have things to do its hard for me to stop slacking off.
Ill do all sorts of weird convaluted things to not make more dirty dishes than absolutely necessary.

same here, so hard. i'm really good with numbers so i can instantly recall e.g. the price of some small unimportant item i bought several years ago to the cent, but i do the same sorta stuff like walking into a room to do something, doing something else then leaving, walking back in when i've remembered what i'd meant to do originally and then end up forgetting it again

or if someone introduces themselves to me i'll forget their name within 30 seconds.
this thread is so reassuring.

I also reread my lengthy posts multiple times and often edit them at least twice, such as I was just doing.
I SAW THAT EDIT

I tend to smile or laugh when I'm nervous or uncomfortable. I've had it happen at funerals before.
I tend to be very quiet, usually can't express myself right. My girlfriend tells me I need to use my words all the time. Once I get to know someone this tends to go away. Generally I just don't feel like dealing with anymore people than I have to.

I used to sometimes drink stuff through my shirt. I can't even remember how that situation would come to be, though.
Oh, I used to do this thing CONSTANTLY if nobody was around to see it...I think it's actually part of a finger exercise but this was way before I got a bass. Maybe it stemmed from playing the tuba.
Whatever, you've got your fingers, 1 through 5, 1 being the thumb.
Touch each finger to your palm, release, then do it with the next finger, 1 through 5.
Then do it in pairs, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 2/3, etc...
Triples, 1/2/3, 1/2/4, 1/3/5, etc...quadruples...every combination possible, make a fist, then cycle individually one last time.
REPEAT ALL DAMN DAY
I drove myself crazy doing it for a long time.
Nervous laughter and being an awkward conversationalist are things that can be greatly reduced through effort. I practice being better about that every day.
