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.

You wierdo's make for some interesting reading LMAO

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.

I count every stair I go up and down.
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.

Okay, here's one specific to SD:

When I rep someone, I always refresh the page to watch their rep count go up. I wonder how common this is?

I use go screen at work and without even thinking about it I switch to my email/SD screen when I finish a thought or something while I'm working. It's really, really sick and I wish I could break it.

I will only drink milk out of a glass container. I will only take three sips total, wipe after each sip with napkin, take next sip at a different place, wipe, third sip must be taken from the final clean portion of the glass.

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.

Whenever I am digging a shallow grave, I have to shovel out an even number of shovel loads. The victim's hands and feet must be tied with twine, no other type of rope will do.

Am I crazy? There has to be other folks like this also.
