My tendency is to regard reality as a sitcom or television drama, and to refer to people as "characters" and to higher power as "the writers". If someone exhibits a new or unexpected behavior, I might balk, saying "your character doesn't do that!"
I actually do this myself; I sometimes develop "fan theories" about what'll happen to a person's life next. I typically do this with people I know but don't see very often though, imagining myself as a recurring side character and them as the main protagonist. (I probably wouldn't say "your character doesn't do that!", unless it's to someone who knows me
very well, who I typically don't do this to, though I've caught myself telling people about real-life "running gags", whether in my life or theirs, in the past).
I suppose my biggest quirk is my extreme preference for cold weather, and my resistance to it; I can calmly walk around for 10 minutes or so at -10F barefoot in a T-shirt without any ill effects or even discomfort.
I
really love black tea, and am capable of drinking up to a gallon of hot, unsweetened black tea a day.
I
really love maps. But that goes without saying, considering my presence on Atlas Forum.
I
really love hiking, especially in forests or mountains. Most people on this forum probably have a very sedentary lifestyle, so perhaps that counts as a quirk here. I've had many less opportunities to do this since going to college in an urban environment and no longer having a car, unfortunately, and I've gotten rather out of shape
I
really despise haircuts, find them horribly uncomfortable, and try to put them off as much as possible. This one's inherited -- when my father got his first haircut at age 3, he yelled for someone to rescue him from "these fascist barbers"

This counts, apparently
