Sure, I have them. I used to spin about in my office chair so often that I broke it (made it lower and unable to raise up) ... twice. I sometimes rock in my chair when alone. I've mostly unlearned pushing my eyes in, but there are rare occassions when it still pops up.
But any that I'm proud of? Hmm, not really. My solution to the spinning was to get myself a normal chair. I would never rock in public. And eye-pushing is just all around unhealthy.
I suppose the only one I don't feel the need to pay attention to -- except when I am actively in a conversation with someone, of course -- is that I compensate for my lack of visual imput by needing to keep my fingers busy. Wrapping the headphone cable around them, playing with a necklace, discovering all the little bumps and grooves on a seemingly flat table surface, that kind of thing. As long as it's quiet and it doesn't make someone feel I'm not paying attention to them, that's alright.
Now that I think about it, does messing with my cane count? Sometimes when waiting, I will move it about between my hands, make gentle circles with the tip, stretch away the top part from the second, etc. Hmm, I guess that might look odd to people. Whoops.

I always like dancing little jigs in the aisle of the grocery store while waiting for whoever I'm with to grab whatever they're getting.
It's quite liberating because you know full well you're making a fool out of yourself, but at the same time you just don't give a shit because you can't see anyone looking funny at you anyway. :)

I constantly have a piece of paper in my mouth. I don’t swallow it, but I just threw on it and then spit it out later. Gives me something to do.
