La la la, going to be a late night...

Random question: What silly, pretentious little mannerisms have you consciously adopted and had stick?

I like to decisively drop/throw down objects when I'm done using them. Never in a context to do damage to them or anything else, though. I picked it up from the way Dan Aykroyd throws down his empty pistols at the beginning of Grosse Point Blank. There is just something about the economy of movement (and therefore purpose) that I love, instantly switching from one perfectly planned task to the next. That is how my idealized self-image always acts.

I do that with empty stock bottles at work. I line them up to check the prescription that used the pills they contained, and then throw them in to the trash bin with unnecessary percussion. I like to chop vegetables with extra violence too. Cucumber you could cut with a butter knife? This calls for my giant cleaver! CHOP!

Standing at the exact spot on the SkyTrain platform where the doors will open, and then looking smug when I don't have to walk to the doors. (Somewhat thwarted by how there are now two different kinds of skooch cars, and I forget which one you line up with the flagpole for and which one you stand just to the left of the 3rd ad, etc., so that I look smug + foolish more often than just smug these days.) (These days = since 2001, when those newfangled cars arrived. Apparently I'm a slow learner.) Also walking to the set of skytrain doors that will open closest to the exit of the station I'm getting off at.
