Strange ones? I can't think of any that aren't.

I have tons of single-guy quirks. I do the same thing with the Nalgene bottle. I can't drink water out of anything else. Coffee is drunk from an orange stoneware mug with a big round handle. Milk is solely for cereal and dipping cookies into. It is served in one of the other myriad coffee cups I have, but not the orange one - that's for coffee.

If you read one James Bond novel, you must read them all (at least, all the Ian Fleming ones), starting with Casino Royale and ending with Octopussy (a collection of short stories, originally). If I'm in a particularly nostalgic-for-the-Cold-War mood, I'll read the Gardner ones. They don't have to be read in order, however.

Musical quirk - if there's a part I like on a song, I replay the song leading up to said part, then rewind and replay. I don't necessarily ever have to finish the song. I'm particularly bad about this when it comes to guitar solos. If, on subsequent listenings, the part doesn't sound as cool as it did before, I clear my mind and replay the lead-in to the part until it elicits the same reaction it did the first time.

If that hidden-camera show Motormouth was ever in my car, the editors would need therapy by the time they got through the footage.
