One of mine is when I finish wrapping my hair up tightly in the towel to dry after washing, I whack the towel where it’s tucked in, kind of like encouragement to stay tucked for the duration, kinda like a coach does when sending the kids onto the playing field.

    I stand on my left foot when I’m holding still. Had a coworker ask me, “I don’t mean to be weird, but why do you stand like a girl?”

    Had no idea what he meant, so he demonstrated. Yeah, I do the tippy-toe thing. (Girls do it to make their thighs look slimmer, same as they sit in chairs.)

    Broke my femur in 4 places back in 2000. Still don’t want weight on that leg, hellish pain does that to you. I’m quite physically active, but standing still? Yeah, en pointe, like a ballerina.

      I do this too, but switch legs after a wile. Sometimes actually stand on one foot too, practice that balance.

      i rotate one of my feet inwards (something around 100°), so that the corresponding knee points at the other one, somehow that’s more comfortable.
