    I whisper "phone, wallet, keys" to myself every time I leave the house. And I pat each pocket as I say each word to make sure they're there - or hold the keys out in front of my face to show myself that I have them.

    Yikes...I just re-read that and it sounds pretty crazy. Meh...oh well.

    I cannot just unplug any heated hair tool. I have to take a picture of the hair tool, unplugged, with a copy of the days newspaper next to it. Just so I don't have to go home mid-morning to check I did, in fact, unplug them and they aren't going to burn my house down, despite having a timer that automatically shuts them off after 30 mins (BUT WHAT IF THAT SHUT OFF FAILS?! WHAT IF!)

    That's quite clever. I just check the plug 4,938 times.

    I jump into bed every night. Have since I was little because for some reason it freaks me out that something or someone is going to grab my foot if I leave one down.

    All doors must be closed when I go to bed, if not I see shadows that really aren't there until I do get up and close it.

    Before getting into my car I always look in the back seat and in the very back (I have an SUV)

    I refuse to drink the milk left in my cereal bowl.

    I sleep on my side, and the ear not on the pillow has to be covered with a sheet or blanket at all times.

    Nothing can touch my chest when I'm sleeping.
    I need constant reassurance that things are locked and the stove is off.
    I check my shipping address about 500 times after making an online order.
    If I say 'I love you', the person MUST say "I love you too"
    I OCD my Netflix, e-mail, MFP, etc (I have to click all of them in rotation)

    Closet doors must be closed at all times. I don't care about the monsters under the bed, but the ones in the closet freak me out.

    Unplugging things too, like the toaster-oven must be unplugged whenever it's not in use, even if I'm home.

    I have to be early. The idea or even the notion that I'll be late causes such anxiety.

    Ohhhh. One more. I have to have one of my dogs in the bathroom when I shower. The noise and the curtain deprive me of my senses enough that I need a guardian to keep bad people and spooks away. Really pisses me off when the dog runs into the bedroom so when I peek out periodically to make sure she's still there she's NOT :angry:

    I count letters by threes when im reading. If a sentence doesn't come out to a multiple of three, I add the dots and punctuation. If it still doesn't happen, I'm a bit miffed.

    All my "hot" electric stuff has auto shut offs, curling irons, flat irons, clothes iron. I have left everything on at one time or another. I've had to force myself to trust the auto shut off LOL

    I like to do random gross things, like pick up a bug and eat it or pretend to pick my nose while in my car at a red light, if I think somebody is looking at me.

    Double and triple check that all the burners are turned off on the stove.
    My personal favorite is I color code my clothes with the hangers I put them on.

    Ah yes, I CANNOT TOLERATE hangers of different colors. They must all be black.

    I HAVE to check my purse 3 times after locking the house or before locking the car door to make sure the keys are in fact in my purse.

    I like fries with my vinegar, swimming, even drink the left over vinegar at the bottom ( done that my entire life )

    I am a compulsive hand washer

    I CANNOT stand when people stare at stop lights in traffic. It really makes my skin crawl. I have on several occasions when caught ppl staring at me I pick my nose at them while staring into their eyes
    @Wardamnirish so glad im not alone lol

    oh and p.s one time i did that the couple in the car beside me started to freak out. My sister was driving I was passenger. My sister looks to see what i was doing. I some how knicked the edge of my inner nostril and blood was running down my hand. :O That must of looked horrific and yet i couldnt stop laughing

    The shower curtain and shower sliding doors have to always be left in the "closed" position.

    Everything has to be unplugged when not in use (except lamps, tvs, & computers). This includes our electric kettle, which can't draw electricity when the kettle is off of the mount. Coffee grinder. UNPLUGGED.

    Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face. Cannot change the order. Cannot wash face first.

    Clothing items, when hung up, must all face left.

    I wear a lot of chapstick and when I am drinking from a cup/mug, I always drink from the spot with the chapstick smudge.

    I am a bath person because when I take a shower it kind of freaks me out...I feel like the water is attacking me a little tiny bit. I love to swim so it's not a fear of water. And once I actually DO take a shower it feels pretty good, but I get super nervous/anxious feelings before getting in! Although I bathe daily, I really only shower when absolutely necessary (i.e., hotel room or guest bath with no tub whilst visiting friends, or every couple of months when I use at-home haircolor and need to rinse it out).

    I'm the opposite, I hate a bath. I feel like I'm sitting in all the dirt and dead skin cells and groosness. I don't like being in still water at all. I'll get in a hot tub. I don't like being in ponds and lakes but rivers and the ocean is fine.

    My dishwasher has to be loaded a certain way

    I had a leaky roof once as a kid, and now I have this deathly fear of the roof leaking all over my electronics?? My anxiety levels skyrocket sometimes when it rains, even though its been ages since we've ever had a leaky roof. I even keep plastic ponchos and stuff to throw over everything in case it happens

    I cant have the tv, car radio or hi fi or phone or anything sound related on an odd number.

    I associate even numbers with organization and odd numbers with spontaneity.

    When I am behind a vehicle on the freeway or at a stop light I reduce numbers in license plates to their smallest possible outcome by a mixture of adding, subtracting, dividing and multiplying them to see if they end up being an odd or even number.

    I do things in three's, I decorate in three's, I use the third stall in restroom, I take three sips of whatever I'm drinking, I use three paper towels to dry my hands, three pumps of soap, rub my hands together three times one direction before changing directions, eat three bites before changing foods or talking. ...etc
