What are annoying habits of yours?

Apparently I scowl when I'm zoning out. This leads people to assume that I'm either deep in thought, or pissed off when really there's nothing going on in there but elevator music. Virtually nobody who works any kind of cash register will even make eye contact with me by the time it's my turn in line.

Mansplaining and general intellectual pomposity, apparently. And being untidy. As soon as I enter a room my possessions immediately spread out fucking everywhere. I have one colleague who is fanatically neat and one day she's just going to spontaneously combust from all the suppressed rage.

I wasn't gonna bring this up but since we're all 'tistic on this blessed website, I'm gonna add that I manage to simultaneously stare and vehemently avoid eye contact, which I think frustrates people who are used to being intently looked at for acknowledgement that whoever they're talking to is paying attention to them and solely them.

Then again, I could be reading the room wrong. Which is another annoying habit.
 
Oh, here's one I'm surprised I forgot: I look off to the right when I go into thought, and I look up and to the right when I pause to think in a conversation. The few times I've tried talking without doing it were painful.
 
I crack my fingers a lot. I'm very untidy too and my handwriting looks like an alcoholic doctor with arthritis while sitting on an earthquake writing a prescription. And I'm very forgetful too.

When I'm visiting my parents I'll ramble to them about stuff that interests me regardless of if it interests them (like an a'utistic). It's something I don't do much of to other people, like my friends, but I do it to them because I've always done it, since i was little, and I never grew out of it. It makes me feel bad and I try to curtail it nowadays (they're mostly used to it, but I overdo it sometimes, and seem to comment on it more now) but it's in my nature and I struggle mightily with it.

eye contact. I’m not a sperg (well I am but not medically speaking) but I just generally don’t look at people an awful lot when I’m talking to them. sometimes I will make a conscious effort but this ends up over correcting and then I get paranoid I am looking at them too much. I am just aware some people might interpret it as rudeness
On the complete other end, my tendency to wind people up deliberately especially when drinking. I just enjoy poking at one of my friends (figuratively) for my own amusement until they snap at me or slap me round the head. I have then got the reaction I wanted and stop.
Also stuff like poor posture and biting my nails but I’m pretty sure those are only annoying to me

I chew pen lids, loudly. I also have a tendency to absent-mindedly leave cupboard doors and drawers open, which drives my SO through the roof for some reason.
 
Some people love to "test" tongs with a test click or two.

I do that before doing anything with forceps, so just clicking constantly.
