I have a few... One is that I slowly tilt my head to the left while playing until I realize that I'm doing it and fix it, if it's a longer song it could happen again :p

Edit: spelling
chox_old
i often quit songs when there's break ._.
Avner
Pressing stream after slider with the same key used for slider (K2 - K2 - K1)

I do this too :o
Mamoru Senpai
Holding my breath, when it's getting hard on a map. Also letting my mouth open while doing huge jumps. I don't why, but I can keep being concentrated then. >:o

During breaks, I find myself constantly tapping z and x to the beat of the song. And when I get close to fullcombo-ing a song, my hands shake and I end up missing a note 99% of the time. >.<
Also this. Getting pretty nervous, when it's going to a FC. ;/
Soarezi
I start blinking more without a reason probably out of nervousness, ending up on retarded misses :l
Arvess
For some reason, I can't play well with my keyboard and tablet in line with my hands.
So I always rotate them 20 degrees to the right when playing...

wierd habit?

1 ragequit when i miss a note
CruzadoqL
Play every song I like with FL lol
My Angel Newnew
Whenever I start thinking that I'm going to become tired, I immediately become tired and my tapping fingers just freeze in place.
sewe21
I sometimes get super determined to FC a beatmap and i won't stop playing until I've succeded. Banchobot tracked the amount of retries I did on "Uchida Maaya - Gimme Revolution!" and it got up to 1700.
Xayne
I tilt my head forward, and during really hard songs I will sometimes slightly open my mouth. It's weird.
-sev
I don't do it anymore, but my eyes used to close when I was doing spinners.

Also I used to tilt my head slightly to the left when I was playing sometimes. Stopped that too.
Nyxa
missing notes

I singletap with each individual finger, and also alternate. The finger I singletap with is decided by the finger I last landed on after a stream or alternating section. I only alternate to keep stamina, or to do really fast singletap patterns (like 250-260bpm or higher), as well as some jump patterns since that takes some of the strain off of my tapping hand allowing me to focus more on aiming.

I also lean in when I'm trying to spin fast, and for some reason there are some specific patterns that I can't play without cursor dancing. As in, if I go in a straight line I fuck them up somehow, but when I cursordance I do fine. Still don't get why this is, and it's only with like 3 or 4 patterns I've ever seen.
crud41
Eyes get dried up from not blinking, causing me to mess up my maps time to time.
Woobowiz
I full alternate on sliders and stream kick sliders, it flows better in my brain that way.
GhostFrog
I normally alternate (badly on everything). On rare occasions, when I get frustrated enough with the start of a map that I think I should be able to FC, I'll try to singletap it. I can't singletap for shit but sometimes it gets me through the start of the map so I can break combo immediately after from my terrible singletapping. If that doesn't work, I'll turn on DT or FL for 1 or 2 attempts and feel demoralized when I fail really quickly.

This. Didn't know i do this until my buddies noticed it at LAN while i playing another game and since that i've been finding myself doing this once in a while. Really weird.
Nakano Itsuki
Weird habits...

Always tilting my body to the right while playing. Not sure if it's a bone issue.
And... always fucking up my pen hand stability and broke combos around 100x before the song ends. T_T
E m i
1. I snap as fast as I can, putting speed above aim
2. Sometimes I just play with relax but tap anyways, pretending that it's my clicks causing the hits and that my hand synchronization is good.
tecu
I stain all the anime girls' mountaintops with smoke during breaks.
Nathan
I start licking my lips during an fc
kaetwo
My leg shakes always after a spinner
otoed1
I hold my mouse at an angle to the left and because of this are unable to consistently do jumps. Also my aim sucks D:. Aim is hands down the hardest part of this game.

My weird habit is editting every map I want to play to AR10 because I can not read AR9 for the life of me. It's too confusing X_X

plus:
when i know i overtook myself in score and the white flash appears on the left i get totally nervous and fail the FC :)

I do the same thing but I just never thought of it as weird.
eeezzzeee
Relax mod makes most stuff harder for me because I can't aim as well if I don't click

My brain is dumb like that :D

Because it's not, nobody I've ever seen holds a mouse perfectly straight. It doesn't affect jumps.
Xayne
I realized something when I was playing last night. I curl my toes up tightly and stress the muscles in my legs during high pressure situations. I guess in an attempt to keep me from tensing up in my arms/fingers/wrists, I subconsciously tense up other muscles. I have to say it's pretty successful. I can generally stay pretty loose in the areas that matter.

I actually do that too sometimes. I press the top part of my right foot against my desk. It somehow feels that by applying pressure on my foot, my hands stay more "relaxed" (?). It's weird, I can't really explain it. Maybe it's just a reaction to the nerves.
I Give Up
I clench my butt when I stream 420bpm.
Arnold0
Hitting my keys realy hard when I feel I can't keep up on streams. Hitting hard when jumping too.
Sometimes tapping to the beat using the two keys at the same time during breaks especialy on songs I realy like.
Readjusting my pen almost every breaks.
I like to spin my cursor everywere in the game and during breaks but on spinner I get slow RPMs.
Almost always lucky 100/50 hit notes after a spinner that seam to be the end of the map.
Checking combo/accuracy/position in MP... while playing and missing.

Everytime i play, i always have to re adjust my laptop and mouse position...

To be honest, I dont know what I am saying
Sh0keR
When I get a high combo, I glance at the combo counter and at the same time break it
- Marco -
on extra beatmaps i use HT+SD o.o
Treekii
I can't play osu with my legs on the floor. I have to put my legs in the chair crossed.
AivLiS
I randomly click my mouse once or twice during gameplay.
Yangu
I alternate slow parts and single tap fast parts
ZenithPhantasm
I adjust my mouse grip even if it means I miss if it starts feeling uncomfortable.
vivisiow
I tend to daydream/think deeply when I'm playing OSU....
When I'm bored.:P
Thus causing me to lose combo! :O
Or fail the map......
But 95% of the time I don't fail or lose combo~
So-i somehow can play OSU while daydreaming/thinking which is weird......
:/
:D

I do the same thing but rather than it being a weird habit I think its just my ADHD (wot attention span?)
NoScreename
I tend to want to S or SS everything when I get a good start.
L Hime
I tilt my head to the right whenever it gets hard for me, it usualy results in horrible neck pain :c

I wear my headphones even though I play with speakers on most times

I tug my shirt during every break even thought the song might be easy

I can't play unless i sit on my left feel and shake my right.
DeletedUser_4823407
When playing with AutoPilot, I always press the smoke key on a spinner.

I don't have bad attention span tho :/
But wow!i never thought someone would have the same habit as me!:D

It's not uncommon to lose concentration you know.
Sophia_old_1
I don't think it's uncommon to start thinking about other stuff in osu!, so instead I'll list my other habit :

I start tilting my head to the left the more I play. It's pretty noticeable. The harder the song, the more the tilt.
Lyubey
I sometimes predict spinners in the middle of nowhere and spin, I also sometimes smash my head on the keyboard when I miss sometimes...
Raniemi
Retrying on 1x100
TaigerLilly
I shake my left foot when I get really into a map.
It's not even to the beat of the song, I just have random foot spasms.
My accuracy always goes up when I do it though.
Dammie
Isn't really a bad habit but it started happening lately to me....

Forget my pen grip until i warm up, and when im already warm up i want to stop playing for now , then the cycle repeats so my improvement is kinda stuck .

I have no Emotions my Cursor is moving like a Bot :(

lol Im sure a lot of people have that habit. I for one have it too... but I also like raise my pinky (keyboard hand) when I stream :3
ChaosThief
Any time the song decides to play notes to the beat, but you have small little "breaks" in between each note, I decide to do a little swing of the mouse or something.

... which happens to make me miss sometimes.

Same here; I've also developed a habit of flipping the bird (middle finger) on my monitor whenever I'm frustrated and miss a note/fail a song, in a way to release the stress.

I cross my left leg on top of my chair when I'm about to FC sometimes.
Chesukin
the closer i lean to my screen the better my accuracy and speed becomes. sometimes by the end of the beatmap im less than 5 inches away from the screen
Daborgia
My fc-Rate and acc is much much better when i put a soda stream bottle under my chin and lean my head on it like this dude with his hand

When I get nervous during a play, I blink a lot more, my tongue sticks out my mouth, I breathe a lot heavier and I shiver quite a bit. What am I even
E m i
nobody cares, but

sometimes i look away from my monitor and lose 200pp
Gumpy
I think about other things than osu! so I miss.
zwoots
Idk why, but for some reason whenever I play oh-sue I can't stop sucking. :-(

Very bad habit will break very soon.
uvia456
Whenever I get really focused, I tend to hunch my back and/or lean to one side. No wonder my chiropractor says I have a bad back :(
SpitsLife
I can't play while hearing my keyboard's taps, it makes me suck. So I push the sound up whenever I play, hurting my ears.

Best habit ever.
Xayne
I took a drink of Red Bull right before a song started, played the entire thing, then realized I didn't swallow until after the song was over. I literally sat there with Red Bull in my mouth through the entire play and had no idea.
Aerislol
i tend to squeeze the pen and hurt my thumb. :(
Trompo
I stop playing serious everytime i do 1 miss/sliderbreak, even if i dont play for pp or if i play maps that are way to hard. Pretty annoying
carlisle_
I like to alternate my keys, and when they're not the same, I make an effort to even them out.
bigfeh
I often restart songs before the first note
Offended
I'm always blinding myself with intense hairflips

I acknowledge osu! is an easy game that requires no skill at all.

A few days ago I switched my tapping fingers to the ring finger/index finger during a song. idk the reason but it happened lol
Yuudachi-kun
I can't find the bad habit thread now, but if there's a double that's sufficiently fast enough where I think I'll break on singletapping it, I'll just do a triple.

It feels really dirty.

i tilt my head up slightly when the song takes too long..

I'll tap my feet to the rhythm and hold down the mouse one button for better aim idk if it actually does or not but generally I cant play without holding down the mouse one button it feels weird.

not sure if this is a good habit or not

but i have a rather low stamina

so what happens when I really start getting tired

i kinda just shut off that part of my senses

my eyes are burning but they don't blink at all

my hand is burning but it refuses to stop

my pen is getting really hard to hold but it stays in my hand

my breathing's intense as hell

and it's really freaking scary when that map happens to be a marathon
