What's your signature characteristic behavior? What's the signature characteristic behavior of your partner, sibling, bestie?

This question was suggested by the multi-talented Mr Flannery who also provided the following examples to help clarify the question. Below you'll find things that he believes would be "pulling a Flannery". He was also kind enough to throw one in on behalf of his wife, which would be "pulling a Farrington".

Mr Flannery (left) inspired today's question. Thank you, sir.
When you accidentally bake all the dirty dishes you forgot you hid in the oven... you'd be pulling a "Flannery".

When you make a list for the grocery, then forget the list, then forget what you put on the list, then eat spaghetti with chicken every day for a week... you'd be pulling a "Flannery".

When you're at a black-tie fundraiser and your friends have you stifled-laughing so hard during the dead-silence before that string quartet plays their first note, that you - into the resounding, echoing anticipation - let one rip... you'd be pulling a "Flannery".

If you started crying at car commercial that involved an elderly couple... you'd definitely be pulling a "Farrington".

When you're jammin' to your iPod, thinking you're super cool, walking down the street, like the world gave you a soundtrack, and you walk into a tree, post, or mailbox... you'd be pulling a Hall.

If you clap louder than the collective noise produced by the rest of the crowd... you'd be pulling a Fleming.

When you spend too much time alone and over-think life because you're bored and an ENFJ and then decide you need to 'do more' in your free time and then you over-burden your free time with obligations and stress yourself out. You're pulling a Farrington.

When you pump one of your arms and say "YES!!" really loudly bc dessert options/food options are THAT GOOD--- you are pulling an Austermuhle.

When you find your self portait pictured on a poster on a DC metrobus, you are pulling a Austermule.
