On Monday night's episode of The Hills, I couldn't help but notice that Lauren always has her fingers in her mouth when on the phone! Looks more like nail biting than anything else. . . maybe it helps her focus or something?! Camera shy?! I've definitely become more ADD in my later years while talking on the phone and can't say I have a "phone habit" since I'm usually pre-occupied with getting off the phone. Although my mom can attest to the fact that I can be overheard washing dishes on Sunday mornings while chatting with her — sorry mom! What about you? Do you have any quirky habits when gabbing on your phone?

I doodle a lot. Once, when I was chatting with my mom, I drew my whole cellphone! I traced it and then put everything in and it looked exactly like it!
I also pace too, walking around a lot.
1I am a doodler... I usually am drawing on something or biting on a pen something like that.
2i walk around. i circle my apartment as i am talking on the phone. my boyfriend gets so annoyed sometimes...
3I tend to pace when I'm on the phone. When I'm calmer, I go slower, and when I'm more excited, my walking gets progressively faster.
4I'll surf the net, pace or paint my nails.
5I doodle as well.
6I doodle. If I knew someone was surfing the 'net while on the phone, I'd say goodbye. I think that's very rude. Doodling & looking down are my habits. It helps keep my thoughts focused.
7i have to admit, i surf the net--it's rude, i know. hey, what kind of phone does lauren have? looks cool!
8geek, I always wash dishes too! My mom will often call me out on it, but I'm like, listen, I have no dishwasher, and it's a totally mindless task. Perfect for multitasking. At least I'm not surfing the net!
9I like to doodle.
10When I surf the net on the phone I get quite because I am reading stuff. LOL
I walk around all over my apartment and I trip several times, but I still do it every time I get a call on my cell and I'm at home
11walking around a lot from room to room
12I walk around and pick up things/put away things or do dishes. I always call people while I walk home or I'm on my way home.
13I pluck my eyebrows. It was something I discovered I could do with a hands-free set, and now it's what I do. Even my bf noticed the habit. At least there's nothing wrong with well groomed brows!
14surfin the net!cant help it.
15I hate to admit this, but I often twirl my hair while on the phone (now, where's the blushing smilie?)
16I doodle, twirl my hair, or surf the net.
17I clean
18This is really weird, but if there is a hanger nearby, I have to play with it with my feet.
19I pace. I can't seem to put my thoughts together if I'm not moving.
20I clean, too. But quiet cleaning, like dusting, Windexing. And if someone calls while I'm making dinner, I'll take the call but let them know I'll be chopping and stuff.
21I'm a doodler.
22I pace, and I doodle or play with a notecard (origami, sort of?).
23mccubcakes I walk round and round too!
24And it annoys my boyfriend too
I doodle, but I usually twirl my hair more. I find myself doing that all the time; I guess it helps me concentrate or something.
25Also, if I'm near a mouse, I usually scroll the scroller thing. Kind of like a treadmill for my fingers?
My mom and I look at websites while talking to each other on the phone. We'll often point each other to a site that we think is interesting while talking.
26I'm a doodler, but I also play solitaire on the computer or I'll do housework while I'm on the phone. Things like empty dishwasher or dust. Chores that can easily be done with one hand.
27I'm usually walking/pacing and holding my hand to my ear if I'm wearing a headset as my Mom has trouble hearing me in it. Or I'm driving...I know, I know, not good but it's the reality of when I have time to do it.
28I doodle if sitting down and pace if I'm not.
