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.

But when he eats potato chips, he has to open the bag up all the way, then seperates the chips into 3 piles: whole chips, partial chips (broken), and crumbs...now who's the freak?

It is the same as OCD except it is in alphabetical order.
I'll have to find a way to be okay with that.

This is MY pen:
I prefer black, but blue isn't that bad!
Wow, that's a new one to me. And for two people on the board to do it -- it must be common.
Well, actually, I know of hypergraphia [wikipedia.org], but that's a little different and is related to epilepsy and mania. But it makes me wonder about a relation between the two, if any.
