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.

This is MY pen:
I prefer black, but blue isn't that bad!
That's one sexy pen btw. Me likey!
Geeze, I keep telling you guys more of mine every few weeks...
NOTHING can touch on a plate, if I want ketchup on my fries it's on the side and if it runs into a fry I won't eat it. If something is runny, like gravy on mashed taters that has to go into a seperate bowl.
Plain white bread sandwiches have to be totally smooshed down till you can't smoosh it down anymore, then you have to take all the crust off and eat the crust first.
Counting stairs, both up and down...but I think that comes from going up and down them in the dark, don't want to miss that last stair!
Closet doors ALWAYS closed at night.
Lock car doors, then unlock them and then relock them just to make sure. Same goes for house doors.
Fark.
I used to prefer black, but for some reason with the Zebras I like blue now.

You know you want to tell us.

I never get out of my car with it in gear.
TP HAS to be facing outward, I don't like reaching under it to find a piece.
Consistency is KEY in everything.
I am consistently late.
I don't lay or sleep on my stomach, ever.
Volume is always either 5 or 0.
When I rep someone, I always refresh the page to watch their rep count go up. I wonder how common this is?

Always count stairs.....don't have the coordination or depth perception, have fallen down way too many times.
Always put on right shoe then left. Never any variance.
OCD or anal - you decide.
