All right, these should suffice. Warning:long post ahead!
-I always try to shoot/punch monsters off ledges, even if it leads to unnecessary danger;
-if I get vision goggles, I will always revisit the areas I was in with the goggles after they expire, so I can see how they would look normally (usually, it pays off);
-if I have a rocket launcher at hand, and the map ends via "teleported", I'll always suicide into said teleported. I always do this, even if I don't intend to play after finishing the level (as an avid pistol starter that uses ZDoom as their main port, it saves time if I intend to continue playing);
- I used to drop the chainsaw after getting a Berserk pack;
-I will punch Archviles if I can, because it's damn funny (thank you Doom Marine!);
-I use automap every 10-20 seconds to check for secrets and to see the shapes on the map;
-I hump every wall that looks even remotely out of place in look for secrets;
-I try to shoot every distant button I can find, unless it's obvious it's supposed to be used via Space;
-even though it used to be my favourite weapon when I was young, I now hate the plasma rifle and will use it seldomly. I cease using it after I find the BFG, reserving it only for revenants in tight quarters and the occasional boss placed distantly on a platform;
-I often try to get myself stuck in maps by going into places I shouldn't be in, but can access directly via straferunning/waiting too long in a secret for it to close/doing something I wasn't supposed to in attempt to break the map. It sometimes succeeds, even in quality projects (recently managed to get stuck in Putrefier);
-whenever I play a conversion and get bored/die to a cheap trap, I will use "give everything" in conjunction with "sv_fastweapons 2" to test out all of it's weapons, even though I hate myself for it afterwards;
-when I was young, I used to challenge myself by taking out the rocket launcher, holding the fire button, moving around the level and trying to stay alive for as long as possible;
-I usually use IDDT and ZDoom's automap options to find secrets after finishing a map;
-when ending a Doom session, I will sometimes use the rocket launcher to suicide by shooting the closest imp/zombieman/wall;
-I check every lava pit for secrets;
-I always try to use the 2 BFG shots strategy when fighting a cyberdemon/multiple cybers, even if it puts me in danger due to lack of space;
-due to my lack of saving, I will sometimes miss a good chunk of the map due to accidentally walking in the exit (when I play classical wads, I usually use the normal doom mapstyle);
I use the rocket launcher to fight Pain Elementals/groups of lost souls;
-I hate fighting bosses with rockets, even when they are provided in abundance before the fight, simply because I feel I am wasting damage potential (only to use the same rockets to miss that distant archvile 5 times in the next room);
-Archviles and Chaingunners are among my favourite doom monsters;
-I don't like using the BFG on lone barons because I feel I am wasting damage, even though it's more effective than using rockets and more time efficient than using the SSG;
-I get in lots of melee fights with barons or hellknights in an attempt to save ammo;
-I hate levels with an overabundance of ammo.
