I do that. I had a classic race the other week with some bloke who was none the wiser. I never caught him. It wasn't you JT was it! ( it was for the Maidstone Wheatsheaf to Morrisons World Title Walk ) I also sometimes do a surprised "Hi" to myself if I pass a mirror and there's no one about.
Make random noises or jump about like a monkey, sing stupid songs like Barbie Girl and Jack and Jill in as deep an opera voice as I can, pick stuff up off the floor with my toes, practice my free kick technique and try to throw tea bags into cups from as far away as possible, often through the legs or behind the back
I nod my head at lampposts when walking, and when driving I slap my right hand on the steering wheel if there's a gap all the way between the traffic and two lampposts
Stand at distance in the kitchen and throw my tea bag into the mug, cant have a tea until it goes in. Sometimes been there for 20 minutes then just given up haha

That may have crossed the line from 'nutty' to 'OCD'.

The brain's way of inventing games to keep itself alert whilst performing boring tasks like driving.

Another beatboxer here. Pretty bloody good at it now - after about 20 years of practice.
Another slightly odd thing I do is sing along to songs, but one line ahead. God knows why I do that.
I've mastered Daniel Bedingfields, 'Gotta get through this'. I can now do the beat and the tune at the same time. Honestly, I think my talents are wasted here.

we need a video like the Obika version mate you need to upload one
A good few years back I had a job temping in a stockroom. Absolutely no one came to get anything ever and all I had on my "desk" was a load of marker pens and for some reason some huge elastic bands. I managed to come up with a game whereby the pens were stacked along a wall and I had to knock them over by pinging the elastic bands at them. Then it started to get serious. It became the World Championship Pinging Elastic Bands At Marker Pens. I was a contender for the title. I even began to look forward to going into work as the plucky British Hope. The only problem was I set the benchmark too high and the best I ever managed was second place! In my own game :-) I also had a job selling houses from a show home and no one ever turned up to see that either. I tried to reprise the game again but couldn't find enough marker pens or big elastic bands. And it was never quite the same anyway. In the end I learned to juggle using tippex bottles instead. My contribution to this country's GDP has generally been quite small ;-)

This sounds awesome! Just out of interest @3blokes what are you up to these days?

Always try and overtake and get back into lane one without driving over a cat's eye.

Always try to throw balled-up paper into waste-paper basket from as far away as possible for a 3-pointer, basketball stylee!
