Those repetitive mannerisms can be anything from constant nose-sniffling (one of my pet-peeves) to signalling a sniff by rubbing of the nose (similarly, looks ugly to me) to foot-tapping to constant face-wiping.

All of the above annoy me to varying extents but to touch on ground that I haven’t mentioned a lot before I had a flatmate once (fairly recently) who’d foot-tap loudly all night long and it used to drive my nuts. In general, people who can’t just be and sit still and keep their twitch-game moving all day, every day irritate me. And it’s usually always the same few as well when you’ve been around them enough to at-least recognise their face (in the office, at your local) but going beyond that there’s generally just always a sniffer everywhere you go (not just on buses). Around this time of year hay-fever’s their excuse but come autumn/winter now it’ll be a case of them somehow all having colds despite seeming perfectly well besides their year-’round nose-tics. It’s never anything to do with having too much of a cocaine habit. Just ‘I have a nose-cold.’
