Whoops...habits...lol.

Strange..when I pick up the phone to call someone it has to be in this number sequence:

2:00
2:05
2:30
2:50

Basically, the last digit needs to be a zero or five. Actually I call within the 15 minute increments.

I check my keys are in my bag, then i worry that when i checked they could have fallen out of my bag so i have to check again, then i worry that when i checked the second time that i could of dropped them so the cycle goes on and on...............

If I'm eating things with distinct colors or patterns, I have to eat whatever I have the most of first.

Say there is a bag of M&Ms. I have to open the bag, pour them all out, count how many of each color I have

and lets say I have 8 brown, 7 yellow, 7 blue, 6 red, 5 orange. I'll eat a brown one first, then a yellow one then a blue one then another brown then a yellow then a blue (bringing it to 6 brown, yellow, blue, red and 5 orange) then one each, in this order of brown, yellow, blue, red and finally an orange, then continue in that order until i'm done.

If I get a mark on my hands, I HAVE to wash it off. A slight pen mark, wash it off. A bit of dirt, wash it off. I will even wash my hands after handling coins, my keys or reading an old book.

They are exceedingly soft though.

I fucking HATE blue ink. If I'm somewhere and I need to sign a document and they hand me a blue pen, I know I get a look like they just placed a piece of shit in my hand. puke

I have lots of obsessive compulsive kinda quirks.

When I've been driving in the rain, and I park, I want the wipers down. Not frozen in the middle of the windshield.

While using my computer, I want the windows arranged in a certain way: e-mail, livejournal, sg, everything else. And I really fucking hate it when a friend uses my computer and fucks up the windows...Even though it's simple to fix.

All of my footwear is laced left over right. A habit I picked up in the Marine Corps. Before that, everything was laced inboard.

When drinking a can of pop, I wipe the top off and tap three times before I open it.

...I really have too many compulsions to list. I'd have to devote an entire topic to my mental issues. ooo aaa

It made me sad when I was younger that we never gave 1:11 or 2:23 a fair shake. I hated that we lavished so mush attention on the whole minute intervals.

As for quirky habits...everything I do is entirely rational. They are designed to keep the demons and rogue sea-monkeys at bay.

After parking the car and walking away from it...I'll keep walking and glancing over...having to hit the "Lock" feature on my keychain to see the lights flash. Just to confirm that I've locked the car.

I'll do this little routine three times. 3 is one of my favorite numbers...so I do press the button three times with a few seconds lapsed in between.

Whenever I come home, I have to take my shoes off...

Never in my life have I ever lived in a place that "needed" one to walk around barefoot (e.g. nice carpets), nor was it ever a rule when I was growing up... I simply get uncomfortable walking around the house with shoes on. Almost claustrophobic, in a sense.

I'm not so bad in other's homes, though I've noticed that I have started doing this at my closest friend's place.

The toilet paper roll has to go over not under.

Couch pillows should not be left on the floor.

And turn the god damn light off in the bathroom when you are done!!

There are dozens of others, however they are much easier to live with wink

Too damn right.

Agreed. It can never be too far from the floor to the couch....put them back FFS!!!

And turn the god damn light off in the bathroom when you are done!!



I never understand how people can leave it on. You've just been in there, done god knows what, and you walk out without turning the light off. If someone has left the light on, I always make sure they've flushed....very often, thats a no...

More than one, but here goes.......

I'm left handed, I always put my left leg in my pants first,

I always put my left shoe on first, always!!!

I run my finger on top of my ear and then smell it, it always smells strange - no matter how much I scub it. I've tried everything. skull

speaking of TP:

I have this wierd habit. I've posted it before but since yall asked. When I do a sitdown on the toilet i have to throw the dirty paper in the wastebasket before i put it in the toilet. I'm getting better at not doing it, but sometimes, I just gotta.

Now that's some weird, um, sh*t...

Don't ever do that drunk.....you'll walk into the living room and think "What the fuck?' in the morning and it'll bug you all day.

Unless I'm unique in that aspect....

My ex used to do that...good god...the man would turn all the furniture upside down, and then proceed to strip and walk the hallway of the apartment building fully in the buff. Luckily, that was only twice.

Heh...I noticed you said "ex" - was this a contributing factor in the downfall of the relationship?

I am exactly the opposite. If I don't have shoes on, I feel very uncomfortable, unless I'm in bed, in the shower, or otherwise naked for a reason.

I have to be able to walk all the way around my bed. The only part that will ever be pushed up against the wall is the headboard.



Aaargh....thats another one. I can't have a wall against me now. I have to have the bed in a central location - even if it isn't the warmest part of the room.

Jeez...I really am quite odd
