why do people like to
scratch their mosquito bites and draw crosses in them
dig their noses and smell/eat/roll the buggers
pinch their pimples
bite their nails or pull out bits of skin beside their nails
shake or swing or vibrate their legs subconsciously
make funny faces at babies
stick their tongue out when they make a mistake
comment about your weight if they haven't seen you in ages
wear black
eat food that are sweet, sour or salty over bitter

1)because it itches and mild pleasure sensations are sent to the brain when you scratch or draw crossses into mosquitoe bites especially from the surrounding areas adjacent to the inflammation
2)digging the nose is also a response to irritation. The smelling eating and rolling is a biological mechanism hidden deep within the primitive that animals try to mantain their salt levels in the body. Thus it is in a way a reuptake of natural salts - yes it's still gross.
3)Another primitive reaction to actually remove dead pieces that may cause future damage. Sometimes the nail biting is a habit formed by the mental makeup that perhaps is too complicated to say here - and I don't honestly know.
4)tongue sticking and face touching are actually instantaneous reactions when people make mistakes or lie. Now you know.
5)lol cos society is way too weight concious. Look at all the magazines. Then again, America is 60% overweight.
6)blame the Matrix
7)extremes. We are biologically attuned to taste and smell extremes. Sugar, salt and proteins. I don't know so much about the sour and bitter though
