Do you have any odd habits or rituals when riding public transit?

Smuggling pythons.

Fastest reference I ever saw

Yeah, I have the weirdest habit; I take off my backpack from my back and hold it in my hand.

Not a weird habit, I do it in the hot season cause my back get sweaty.

pickpocketing, robbery... are you from Papua New Guinea or something?
- Lol when I was in PNG I don't think I saw one bus but that was in '05.

I take it so often that I can't think of anything.

There is usually a door I enter by and a seat that I go for. We also thank the bus driver when we get off from the front doors, but that's something everyone does.

What do you do?

I put my bag down on the ground to avoid taking up any extra space.

I wear headphones so others dont hear my videos/ music/ podcasts/ calls

I mind my business and don't stare at others.

I dont do anything that might gross out other people like picking my nose, picking my ass, scratching my balls or touching other people inappropriately.

Apparently this is a routine specific to me since the majority of people on public transport dont do these things.

When I go on a plane, I always touch the outside of the plane at least once before boarding, and I always look at the instruction booklet on escaping the plane in an emergency. I like the funny pictures in it, there's a baby I keep seeing that looks like Bobby Hill but really bored.

OMG, a fellow plane-toucher. Not big on compulsive behavior, but gotta tap the skin with the fingernail or it's going down for sure...

I'm autistic, depending on how intense sensory issues are that day: sunglasses, noise canceling headphones, stim toys and if it's really bad a teddy bear.

I'm also the one idiot who still wears a mask. In full gear I'm quite the sight.

Thanks for being mindful of others with your mask.
How do you avoid your sunglasses from fogging up when you wear them with a mask?
- Thanks!
  Its a pair of really big glasses that I can slide down my nose a little and still have the glasses cover my field of vision.

Don't rub your eyes!

I sacrifice a chicken.

As soon as I sit on the bus for an inter-city travel, I'll put a small pillow behind my head and plug the earphones on my ears (regardless of actually listening to music or not). And if the travel will last more than 4h I will have a plastic bottle of passion fruit juice dissolved in chamomile tea with some vodka.

I call this trio (pillow, earbuds, bottle) "small talk deterrent".

I pick my phone and start reading something, mostly an article from pocket (app) or a book from my Moon reader library.

because I trainsurf it means I always have a spot in 'no man's land'(where there's no handrails or anything) plus it frees up a seat/leaning spot(- not sure if there's a word for this) for someone else

it was a weird/fun thing and now it's just useful (great for practicing snowboarding)

I try to sit as far away from other people as possible.

Once I am done with my gum I put it in the weirdest places.
