    I cannot leave one grape or strawberry (or other small fruit), or one stick of gum, cookie or cracker in a package. If there are two left, I have to eat both.If I don't want both, I won't eat any. Similarly, If I am eating some small item (say a handful of blueberries, or Cheerios, or chips) and I drop one on the floor, I will throw that one away, plus another one to keep it company in the trash.

    If I am walking or running and I scuff one foot along the pavement, I have to scuff the other one to be even.

    I cannot have the thermostat set to 73 degrees. 72 or 74 are fine...but 73 is not just odd, but also a prime number.

    It drives me nuts if I am in an exercise class and the instructor does a different number of reps on each side. I have to make up the difference after (lest I be lopsided).

    When I'm really pissed off, I sharpen my cooking knives. Instantly brings me back to a place where I can get calm and think.

    Oh, that's a good one. I usually break something glass, which is not nearly as productive. But it sure is satisfying.

    I prefer sleeping with my closet doors open. So, nothing can hide in my closests.

    No way! No sleepovers at your house! The must be closed!! Not just kinda shut, completely closed!!

    Right after opening a cup of yogurt, I CANNOT proceed until I have licked the lid. No exceptions.
    If I'm walking and music comes on, I purposely walk faster or slower than the music so people won't think I'm sashay-ing on the catwalk or something.

    Well, for me cooking brings me into a good mental frame. Broken glass reminds me of cuts, like the feeling of one happening.

    I can see it being satisfying though. :)

    I sleep with the t.v. on. I need the background noise in order to drift off.

    I love stale cheese puffs. I'll open the bag and let it sit overnight so that they will be really stale the next day. lol:love:

    The one thing I can think of is when doing word searches I HAVE to do the words in order. Even if I am super stuck and can't find a word and see the next one in the search I will not stray away from the word I am looking for. I have been that way since I was little and started them.

    Also, drying off after a shower. I have a routine that I go through every time. If I don't do it in that order I feel wet/damp still. Even though I know I dried everything. Lol.

    Mine are pretty boring. Lol.

    When I sleep at night, no matter how hot I get, I can't uncover my feet bc I'm afraid the boogie man will grab my feet if they aren't covered....<---100% true

    I add and subtract numbers to try to get the same number, for example if I see a license plate with the numbers 2459 I'll think in my head 2+5=7, 9-2=7, 9+5+2=16-9=7 and so forth and so on, I don't know why I do it but it is something I have done since I was a kid...it's weird but I've just learned to accept that I am not a normal person...

    I also have to sit and sleep closest to the door, for example if my family and I go out to eat I have to be the one closest to the door, same with sleeping at night I have to be on the side of the bed closest to the door. I think it's a security thing but it is still weird and I didn't notice it until someone pointed out to me.

    I cannot eat a whole chip, I have to take little bites out of it, I don't know why but I do.

    I will only wear underwear that match or coordinate with the clothing I am wearing over them. If I change my outfit, I will change my underwear to match.

    I will only wear open toe shoes, if the nail polish on my toes matches or is not in contrast with the outfit I am wearing.

    I have to have a pillow on both sides of me and my blanket has to be tucked under my feet, by boyfriend calls it the adult version of a crib....

    I also have to have light switches all down in the off position, like the ones that have two switches for one light, i will turn lights on and off until i get them to where they are all in the correct position.

    Yikes it really does sound crazy when you type it out! lol :noway:

    Nothing crazy about that IMO. Down means "Off" and up means "On" for ALL switches, dammit!!!

    I cannot leave my house until I have checked the stove and all the plug in to make sure nothing is going to explode my house.

    I strip down and slather myself in sour cream. Then, I crank up old Roxette music while pretending to be the car from Knight Rider in the hopes that David Hasselhoff will show up at my house and we can eat cheeseburgers off the bathroom floor together.

    I love my children dearly. I would jump in front of a moving bus for them but I refuse to drink from the same cup as them. Nope.

    My closet doors must be closed in order for me to sleep.
    My pantry is arranged in alphabetical order
    My shower curtain stays closed at all times
    When I eat oreos and milk, I drop the entire cookie in the milk, then I use a spoon to fish it out before the cookie falls to the bottom of my glass.
    Apparently it's strange that I cut up all of my meat before eating it. A friend was watching me eat once and told me it was weird.

    When I find a spider in the house I try to catch it with a glass and put it outside.

    My SO does that. He doesn't really "saw" it, he puts his knife in and pulls into pieces.

    Certain people remind me of vegetables. This woman at work...carrots. She stands there are talks at me and all I can think about is carrots.

    Also...when taking off in a car...I have to shift into first gear, then second, and back to first before I can start moving. Have to. Don't know why. Not doing it bugs the hell out of me. Obviously I don't like automatic transmissions lol.

    Hey, that water left in the tuna can is reserved for cats; humans are not supposed to drink of it. You are getting the cat gods all angry!
