OCD Me!

Time to 'fess up...

We all have strange habits/superstitions/compulsions. Give it up--let's hear yours.

Here are a couple of mine. I have a strange distaste for odd numbers. If I can control something and I have a choice between even or odd--for example, my home theater receiver volume displays in digits--I will always choose an even number.

I also "write" phrases with my finger on any surface (the arm of my chair, the car door, my thigh) that I hear on the television, radio, etc. I alternate between cursive and print, and sometimes I try to keep up with whomever I'm copying. For example, if the news is on and the anchor says "a shocking double murder in the District this evening," I will be scribbling this phrase on the couch cushion to my right.

I've also practiced wiping my butt with my left hand in case my right hand gets cut off or mangled in some horrible accident.

Your turn.

What is it dear? No one will flame you for it, i promise. If they do, I will beat them up.

i broke my right wrist and honestly, wiping my bunghole with the left was extremely hard...

I felt like a poo flinging monkey...

I cant sleep with my closet door open and when I have blood drawn I always have to thank the nurse for not hurting me. I'm afraid if I dont thank them, then the next time it'll hurt.

Both make sense.
