Is this a strange habit?
Whenever reading something on a computer, I will instinctively and repeatedly highlight it.
Does anyone else do this? Any other eccentricities of your own? Is this just a stupid excuse for a new thread?

I have a habit of tweaking my nipples when I am reading.

Re: Is this a strange habit?
I do that when I'm trying to remember something or thinking about the particular point stated. I imagine it helps my concentration somehow (because I can't think why else I'd do it heh).

Re: Is this a strange habit?
I speak out loudly every sentence I read on the internet. When chatting over msn I've got several voices for each contact.

Re: Is this a strange habit?
I highlight/unhighlight all the time. It seems to really annoy my wife and children when they try to read over my shoulder.

Re: Is this a strange habit?
yes.. it's weird you freak!
The only time I do this myself is when some ****tard who can't design a webpage chooses to use background/colours that mask the text and you have to highlight it to read.

Same. Though I also do it sometimes if it is a large chunk of text in order to make it easier to remember where I am.

Re: Is this a strange habit?
My background is dark blue, with white writing anyway.
So there'd be little point in highlighting it
