I don't drink anything during the meal.  I'll drink while waiting on the food, then wherever I'm at, I leave it til I'm done.  Makes wine/beer pairings a waste.  I just don't like the texture of going back and forth.

As I've gotten older, I've tried to break it a little when I catch myself, simply to pace myself eating a little better, avoiding indigestion and whatnot.  But it's 35 years ingrained, so I still generally don't.

but back to weird habits:  

I'll discover what i like the best on a plate, and leave a bite of it for the very last thing off the plate.  i don't know if that's weird or smart... I'm going to go with smart.  
Nah, I do that fairly often, too.  Nothing weird about saving the best for last, so that's the flavor that remains with you afterward.

If you did that to me, I'd channel Guy Fieri and toss them aside so I could enjoy the enchiladas. :)
Don't knock it til you try it.  
And Guy Fieri knows exactly dick about Tex-Mex.

OK, I think that definitely qualifies as a weird eating habit. :)

I'm sure you're correct. He's a Cali guy. But he knows to not wreck something great by putting an egg on it, because eggs are an ingredient.

There was a guy on the WVU message board who one time said he did the same thing.  But his was ingrained by his dad.  His dad wouldn’t allow him a drink of anything until all his food was gone.  He was afraid he’d fill up on liquid and then not be hungry.
My wife’s brother doesn’t go that far but does monitor how much his kids drink during meals.  He’ll say stuff like “Ok, 5 bites before your next drink.”  He says his kids (especially his son) will just pound juice or whatever and forget about their food.
I’m the exact opposite.  I have to have something to drink.  Even if I just eat a small cookie while I’m in the house I have to get a swig of milk or something to wash it down.

I also find something extremely satisfying about chugging my whole remaining drink (not if it's alcohol) after I'm done.

I'm not a big fan of monitoring what/when/how people eat and drink. I believe over-monitoring can lead to disorders for people. I've seen it happen.

Just eat when you want, how you want. It matters none to anyone else but the person eating.

I usually don't have to fight too much with my kids to eat. I don't let them snack, so by the time dinner rolls around, they're pretty hungry. That hunger makes them much more likely to try things, too. As some have said, "hunger is the best seasoning" ;-)

I don't think I have particularly weird food hang-ups. When I was younger I was the type to eat all of one item on my plate before moving to any other item, but I've broken myself of that habit.

Probably my biggest "weird" thing is that I find it completely acceptable to not eat anything until dinner. I've had a lot of people tell me that they get headaches, or feel ill, by early afternoon if they haven't eaten anything. My wife says that not eating anything until dinner is an unhealthy habit. But I've never had a problem. I can go all day, especially when I'm busy at work, and not even feel remotely "hungry" until the late afternoon.

Other than that, I'm a very adventurous eater, and not particularly picky. I generally avoid sweets, and there are a few things that I find offputting [coconut, most refried beans, etc], but in general I'm willing to try just about anything. I honestly love traveling in Asia for just that reason. I can--and do--get to try a lot of things that I wouldn't ever normally encounter in the US.

Yup, foreign travel will certainly expand your horizons.  I've never been a picky eater but even as late as my college years, I couldn't really imagine eating things like chicken feet or snails.  Traveling through Europe and Asia in my early 20s forced me to try new things and I'm extremely grateful for that.  Now I'll eat pretty much anything.

But I still don't like olives, and absolutely loathe pickles

I can't stand peanut butter or peanut butter flavored anything.  A lot of people find that strange.  When I was a kid, I was really picky.  I didn't like or eat chocolate for probably the first 25+ years of my life.  Now I eat almost anything, but I still don't like peanut butter, mustard or pickles.
