Weird but Harmless
FI is a strange man.
While packing, I keep coming across caches of Sharpies. It's like he's a squirrel hiding acorns. I just found 20 in the mail sorter, and another six in a drawer. Baby, if the apocalypse comes, we are going to be able to permanently label everything.
What weird habits does your FI have?

Re: Weird but Harmless
Haha that is so funny!
FI has a few odd habits...one being he "tucks me in" when he leaves for work at night. I don't know how many times I have woken up with the blankets tucked under me. Weirdo...
FI makes knives as a hobby. He is constantly wanting to use his files and sand paper on the couch. I tell him that he's getting tiny metal shavings in my furniture and carpet and he insists that he's not. My point is that the very nature of filing removes material, in this case metal. He eventually gives in and says "but the pieces are so small!" He's stopped doing it while I'm home, but I know that he watches TV and files/sands when I'm not there. It's just not a big deal to him and it is to me. Relatively harmless, though.
FI also tends to leave the lights on when I try very hard to turn them off when we're not using them. In fact, we have a light with an automatic timer that is on until 2:30 AM because he "wants people to think we're home". We are home, honey, and while we sleep upstairs our lamp is lighting up the apartment. We're always in bed by 10 and we don't even really go out, so there's no reason for the neighborhood to think we might be partially nocturnal.
He can't sit still, ever. He has to be doing something and is a very good multi-tasker. If there's nothing for him to occupy himself with, he gets quite distraught and paces around whining.
"They say there's no such place... as Paradise. Even if you search to the ends of the Earth, there's nothing there. No matter how far you walk, it's always the same road. It just goes on and on. But, in spite of that... Why am I so driven to find it? A voice calls to me... It says, 'Search for Paradise.' " - Kiba, Wolf's Rain
The other funny thing he does is start pacing whenever he's on the phone. It's like he can't sit still and talk at the same time.
I do the phone pacing thing.
My worst habit that drives FI crazy is that I hoard paper. Any receipt, note, card, map route, directions, recipe, bulletin, order of worship from church, ANY paper that I come in contact with and found remotely useful for any period of time, I want to keep. I'm a weird one. My mom does this too and it also drives my dad crazy.

Funny thing is, he's bothered by how cluttered my desk is (some jewlery, mostly paperwork thank you notes and mail that hasn't been sorted yet)
He also leave cups all over the house. They are used, but don't have any liquid left in them.
