Many. Another interesting fish. Get a nice little shock from those.

I prowl the surf from Deal to sandy hook with a fly rod, inshore all along the Jersey coast in boats, the Canyons, Massachusetts New Hampshire, ect. Spring, summer, winter and fall.
i do this. I have to land with no cents on that meter.
Mine are limited to the shores of Staten Island and lakes of upstate NY in the summer.
When I bought my RX-8, there were many warnings in the manual about not 'topping off the gas.'
Here are the reasons:
Why topping off your gas tank is a bad idea
I never top off the gas tank!
I know you aren't supposed to, but I have to. I just round up like ghost. I don't go forever, just a few cents to get it to 0.
I can't eat slow. I always have to be done with a meal first.
I also walk fast.
I like to pretend I'm on a secret mission when I go to the store: Get in quickly and get out with the bare essentials without getting caught in the whole "I could use this, too..." impulse buying thing.
I'd rather order stuff online if at all possible. I Amazon like nobody. I'll even order razor blades for my razor.
But when I do drive to the store I pretend I'm Dale Earnhardt and get there faster than anyone else. I've never spun anyone out.
I can't sit still when watching TV. Or doing anything, really. I'm a pacer. I pace around the room and from room to room.
I have to have subtitles on the TV. Which makes pacing a bad habit to have since it's tough to read while pacing.

I was born in Staten Island. Fished there a lot as a kid and I love fishing the upper Delaware in NY a East Branch and Beaver Kill
I think I've "topped off" the tank only once or twice, just before an expected blizzard. Otherwise, I'm lucky if I have half a tank. My ex's father asked me once if I was the girl who told him it didn't matter how high gas prices were, because I only put in $10 at a time anyway! Sheesh - I know I'm a dingbat, but I certainly wasn't responsible for THAT statement - glad I'm not quite so dumb!
Why would you fold towels with your teeth, I believe would be the obvious question
...so stop that!
...so stop that!
I'm obviously a hateobject for many here..... I always walk slow, no matter where i am. An airport terminal, a walk in the city, walking in the woods or just down to the mall. Much nicer and you see more and you can actually have intelligent conversations with your mind if you're slow.

I'll walk with you, anytime. I have short legs and can't always walk fast enough.
Ditto... I almost always have to jog to keep up with my partner.
Like danie, I'm compelled to drive fast. Sometimes, no, but usually, yes. Especially the winding mountain roads. Love to take curves fast. Especially on a motorcycle. Unlike her, I can do without music or sound entirely.
I like to be by myself whenever possible, although I do have a lot of friends and in some circles I'm called a "leader." It's kinda weird, really.
I don't get angry, and I don't yell when I get hurt. The inner Vulcan, I guess.
Okay, here's the goofy thing: I count stairs in places that I'm in, just in case the power goes out and I have to find my way in the dark. So when I have to do something in the middle of the night ("Honey, what was that noise?"), I don't turn on the lights to go around the house.
I'll try eating just about anything that's put in front of me that's called food, and I'll usually like it. Close to the same with fluids, except keep fruity beer the hell away from me.
I'm obsessed with finding efficiency in life activities.
ETA: Oh, crud. Sigmund said "one goofy thing." So much for efficiency!
