So 2 for me:

Whenever I take the first sip from a diet soda (whether canned or in a glass), I hiccup.

Whenever I get to the gym, I have to blow my nose even if it's NOT allergy season.

    Awwww. That's cute! Perhaps it's you subconscious way of self-soothing. Which basically means your mind going "whatever man, it happened nothing we can do about it now". I wonder if anyone you know irl picked up on this yet.

    Sometimes when I eat my nose gets runny. Not everytime. I knew a girl that no matter what she ate, even chewing gum her nose would run like crazy. She always carried tissues and blew her nose constantly during lunch at work.

    Whenever I begin to drink anything carbonated, it takes my breath away, burns my throat & thus makes my eyes water.

    When I enter my bank, I get an instant; runny nose. I haven't been to other locations, to know if it's the building or the company.

    Whenever I was in a Caldor Store, I became nauseous & had an overwhelming sense of doom feeling. A neighbor of mine'd become nauseous & have diarrhea. This occurred in 2 of their locations, that I had been to but when the stores closed & other's used those locations, I had no such problem. I believe that they might've been using scent marketing & if what I & my neighbor experienced, might've also led to their closure; if many others went through this.

    To clarify, scent marketing: http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303468704579573953132979382

    I get a gagging sensation when I smell subway. BLEEEHHHHH. When I was pregnant I literaly had to block my nose to walk past a subway shop on the way to work. Now it's just unpleasant and I cannot fathom even trying the food there because the smell is so awful.

    Watching a ship sink on TV, or seeing pictures/video of sunken ships makes me want to vomit. Weirdest thing.

    sometimes i'll be having a conversation in my head and then accidently say something out loud

    This.
    I'll also nod or laugh if my imaginary conversation calls for it. So I could just be sitting thinking about something then I'll go "yeah *nod nod laugh*" :/

    Sunlight makes me sneeze, but I think that's somewhat common.

    I do this too. Towels before I use them, glasses when I get them down from the cabinet and before I use them etc.

    20% to 35% of people have photic sneeze reflex. I do the same thing.

    I recently noticed that when going from the house to my car when it's raining I hold my breath. No idea why.

    I say "right" or "ok" or both out loud when I think of something embarrassing from the past.

    If I swallow water and it goes down the wrong pipe I have a coughing fit and then immediately have a sneezing fit right after.

    Whenever I get to work I immediately have to blow my nose

    I hold my breath when someone walks past me smoking a cigarette, I also hold my breath if someone walks past me who looks smelly I just don't want to smell em. And my pet hate is someone who coughs or sneezes spluttering everywhere as they walk past, my breath is being held until they are way past me lol

    My new thing is talking to myself when I'm walking down the street, not in a wild manner but sometimes il talk out loud when thinking about something lol but I try to keep it to a minimum or at least when nobody else is around

    I was the exact same ! I used to let other people use the bathroom before me in public places, cos I knew I'd take ages getting completely undressed before I went haha one time I actually came out of a toilet in a cafe half dressed so my mum could fix my clothes, she was mortified but i couldn't do a number 2 any other way thank god iv grew out of that
