Share your weird habits and rituals

We all have them, admit it. I'm talking about the ones that no one or only a few people know about. The things you do while no one is looking.

For example, I'll share mine. Every morning before I put on my tie, I kiss it like a priest kisses his vestments before putting them around his neck. Hell, I'm not even Catholic.

    Because you have conversations with your boobs? No I do not consider that weird. Just don't draw faces on them.

    I'm a book sniffer.
    I can't stand the smell of food on my hands and MUST immediately wash them after eating anything I touch.
    I don't like to touch meat, I wear disposable plastic gloves when I have to touch meat. (get your mind out of the gutter :laugh: )

    I have a lot of creative rituals. I guess I am sort of OCD. In fact I wanted to order a license plate that said OCD OCD but the state said no lol.

    I take a 40-60 minute shower every morning. I swear I have a penis.

    I put my pants on both legs at the same time (instead of one leg, then the other) because I once saw someone else do it and when I asked why they said, "My dad told me to so I wouldn't be just like every other person who puts their pants on one leg at a time."

    I eat my sandwiches in a spiral, and I flatten out my oatmeal as I eat it- and I eat that in a spiral pattern, too.

    Some mornings after I finish putting my makeup on I make an ugly face to see if I still look pretty :flowerforyou:

    I do both of these two o.o
    And here I was sitting thinking I had no weird habits lol.

    Oh, I always eat from the outside to the inside of my plate in a circle. Just remembered. (Also spiral).

    When I eat a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, I eat the outside first, then the inside.

    I'm addicted to Chapstick. The blue kind, not the other types. I put it on several times a day.

    - I have to have a shower right before going to bed so that my sheets are always clean (as clean as possible anyway haha).
    - Nibbling all the chocolate off first then eating the wafer after for KitKats.
    - Eating all of one color before moving on to the next with Skittles/flavoured gummy candies.
    - Volume on the telly must be on an even number.

    I've gotta have a hot bath every morning, even if I am staying in a motel or hotel I'll talk to them ahead of time to make sure they have bath tubs.

    When using the microwave it can never be an even number, it's gotta be like 1:21 or 2:04 min

    I check my alarm clock (on my cell phone) at least twice after lying down in bed to sleep. I consider it fairly wild & reckless (haha) that I don't do this on the weekend, just on nights that I have work the next day.

    I eat the crust of pizza first.

    Although it doesn't take much time, I put way too much thought into which accessories I'll wear each day. I can pick out my outfit quickly but may change earrings four times.

    I only like to drink water that is refrigerator-cold without ice. I'll drink it other ways but I don't enjoy it.

    I just tend to do things in a ritualistic manner, especially at work. I have a lot of little procedures and routines that are not fully necessary and others probably would not understand but it keeps me from making mistakes and I can be almost superstitious about some of it.

    (I've been through counseling and I do not have OCD surprisingly)

    Prime numbers are evil.

    By that I mean I can't have or use anything that can't be grouped into smaller units.

    If I pick up a handful of chips I will count them, If i have say, 7, I will either pick up another one to make 8, or put one back to make 6 since 7 can't be grouped evenly into two piles. oddly, 9 is ok because I can make 3 groups of 3.

    When I dress for the day, I put on my pants first, then my shirt. Never the other way around. I have to put on both of my socks, left foot first then right foot, then stand up, and wiggle my feet to make sure they're not going to have a wrinkle in my shoe or rub in any way. Then I sit down and put on my shoes, right shoe first, then left.

    I line up everything with the edge of something else. When I lay a pen down I make sure it's parallel with the long edge of the paper it's sitting on, or near. The paper is almost certainly lined up with the edge of the desk or table

    Yes I have OCD.

    I guess I put everything on right side first.

    The volume on my TV is always too high for everyone else so when they asking me to turn it down I do and I still hear it fine.

    I have a hard time watching my favorite sporting team play on TV because I think I’m jinxing them. So I like to change channels and come back and see what the score is off and on during the game.

    I've got a weird thing with with numbers too, totally out of my control. Also while driving, if I pass rode kill, I hold my breath until I am well passed it.
