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.

Actually, I like my own space in the bed. I can put my leg on hubby, but I don't like his leg on me. I can warm my feet on him, but he can't warm his on me.
Also...I like to chew ice. I have it down to a science...who has the best ice to chew, etc (Sonic, btw..in case anyone is wondering)
Damn skippy!
Same goes for sex.

Oh...and I always start off sleeping on my left side and then right before I fall asleep I always turn to sleep on my right side.

My public bathroom routine:
Entrance
If push style - use foot
If pull style - use little finger, sleeve, or something else to open door
Urinal
- Stand far enough away to avoid splash damage but close enough to avoid peeking by other pee-pot patrons
- Flush with foot or pinky
Toilet
- Create a nest of toilet paper all around seat
- If doing #2 also put a parachute of TP in the bottom of toilet to avoid splash damage
- Flush with foot or pinky
Sink
- Turn on with paper towel or pinky
- Dispense soap in method that involves least contact with dispenser
- Wash hands thoroughly (especially that sullied pinky)
Drying
- If hand dryer - turn on with elbow
- If paper towels - distribute towels in way that doesn't involve touching dispenser (even if it means pulling lever, etc with TP covering hand)
Exit
- If push style - push open with foot
- If pull style- use paper towel to open door, hold door open with foot, and toss paper towel into nearest trash. If no trash exists near door, carry it to the closest trash.
I'll be rushing to work now so I'll add more later

I never brush my teeth with the lights on. (I hate looking at myself in the mirror while I'm brushing my teeth.)
My bathroom time is private time, no matter what I"m doing. My hubby was in the navy for 10 years and just barges in no matter what. Makes me crazy.
I never turn all the lights out at night. I always need one light on somewhere in the house, preferably the one on the way to the bathroom.
There's more, I'm sure.
