Mine is that I have a habit of cleaning under my fingernails whilst voiding my bowels at work. They were replacing the stall locks one day and I had to do my business, well some idiot just opened the.stall door without thinking and saw me with my pants at my ankles holding a knife. The look on his face made me laugh so hard that I inadvertently completed my task in record time. :)
 
Excellent story.

My problem is sticking my knives in my coffee table in my front room, its a nice table but its wood....... so I just have to make sure it knows who's the boss.
 
I'm very good at trimming my fingernails with knives sharp enough to carve my fingers to ribbons

Shaving...

Of course cleaning fingernails...

Ooo-what always freaks people out and I enjoy is eating with my endura 1 (fully serrated) at restaurants, waiters listen to me more carefully:D
 
Wearing it on my hip. NOBODY in my circle of friends gets that.
 
I was sitting on the back of my truck once, sharpening my SP10. People lost their minds. The V.P. of our office talked to me in his office, his words, "Remind me to call you if I take my family camping. You know, in case you need to kill a bear to save my wife and kids or build a log cabin. How heavy is that thing you had out there?" Ha ha ha. Not the meeting I expected after the uproar from the politically correct lemmings I work with.

i'd probably have jumped up and yelled "FOR SPARTA!!!"
 
Bladite is on a whole different level of weirdness than most of us.

I once used the spine of my BK14 to hammer some tiny nails in, to hold the back wall of an IKEA cupboard on. I helped a friend of mine put it together, and she didn't even have a hammer.
 
The back spine of the blade on my Skeletool is very, very, very squared off, and as it happens, it strikes a firesteel very, very nicely. :D

But I hear ya Bush. I ain't gonna say my knife hasn't been out whilst sitting on the throne a time or two. Or every time... :D
 
Apparently cleaning your nails while taking the Browns to the Superbowl is a common activity, I don't feel so awkward anymore. Understand though yes, we are all still a bit freakish, but we can enjoy the fact we share that trait. I also use my ZT 0300 as a therapeutic outlet, just flicking it open is calming.

I read the title of this thread and the first thing that came to mind was 'doing my cuticles + nails with a Spyderco Yojimbo.' Works great. Waterstone sludge is impossible to get out from under my nails with soap and water -- and you really do need a fine tip to do your cuticles properly; a scalpel works good too -- but it's not something I'd think to carry around with me.
 
I always fondle a knife while on the Throne, just in case I need to stab something that comes out alive. I don't trust that shit!
 
I often use a machete as a fly swatter, works well with the flat side to control deer flies
