    My wife refers to me as the garage door worrier. There are nights when I'll check both garage doors on multiple occassions and I too have turned around to go back just to make sure that the garage door is closed. I also apparently have a tendency to touch my nose with my tongue when I'm deliberating over a serious issue.

    Ok, I realized this last night and it's funny that I thought of this thread.

    When I go to bed on a work night I will turn my alarm clock's alarm on.

    ...then we may watch 30m of tv
    ...and then I may get up to pee
    ..and when I take my glasses off to set them on the nightstand

    but I ALWAYS recheck the alarm clock by turning it "off" and then "on" again before going to sleep.

    Sometimes up to 3 times just to check.

    I count stairs when I go up or down them and I have this thing with even numbers so even if the stair count comes out at an odd number I'll count my second foot going down on the last step as a "step".

    I also get wicked excited when we go somewhere and our room is an even number.

    I scrape all the cheese and toppings off my pizza and eat it last.

    If I set the alarm to get up I check it about a dozen times to make sure it's set (and if we are in a hotel on our way to catch a plane i have about 5 back-up alarms set).

    Where the hell do I start....
    I can't drip on the floor after a shower...I gotta dry off in the tub.
    The grain of a wood table has to be either 90 degrees to my setting or parallel...no middle ground there...and it had better match the grain of the floor too.
    I count tiles in waiting room floors and ceilings..... from different angles and pov.
    I read and memorize licence plates
    I align my iPad(phone stacked on it), wallet/keys ...in that order on my night stand. The iPad must me aligned to the corner of the table.
    I can't mix old and new socks together even if they are essentially the same because the elastic on each has to put the same pressure on my shins
    Three ice cube...not four or two....I said three....I'll be quiet and take what I get but it stresses me out so I drink them faster if I don't get three.

    ****....I could keep going but this is beginning to make me think I need therapy.

    I check to make sure all the doors are locked in the house, that the shotgun is within reach, and the .45 is in the holster beside my bed.(also easily reached) cant sleep without all of that being done first. any strange noise gets spotlight/laser lighted.

    This..

    I sleep with my xds under the other pillow.. EVERY night. I also sleep alone and have a daughter to protect since my husband works 3rds. I also have 3 alarms (a great dane, a pug and a boxer.. they make sure to investigate the noises for me =)

    I have left and right socks and it bothers me when they aren't on the correct foot.
    I can't sleep with the bathroom or closet doors open, and I have to be completely 100% under the covers except for my nose.
    I can't just climb into bed, I will run and leap into bed so the killer under my bed won't grab me and drag me under.
    I hate walking on hardwood floors barefoot and I buy new slippers every month because they quickly lose the squishiness.

    I have a lot more, but I don't want to seem like a weirdo :)

    I lick eyeballs...

    ewww, there's something overly disturbing, kinky, but also weirdly arousing about eyeball licking.. :embarassed:

    I'm a drummer... so i tap. constantly! If I hear a song that I really like or that one of my bands plays I'll air drum. I have also play the drums on my steering wheel.

    I don't think that's weird, unless you're using the brake/gas pedals for the bass/high hat pedals!! (My son is a drummer. Honestly, I don't even hear the drumming anymore. LOL)

    This is the first time I've told anyone this, but I still occasionally prank call people, the nights I don't go out. My favorite is to prank call companies that provide 24-hour customer service around midnight using soundboards. I'm wayyy too old to be doing this, but I think it's funny.

    Also, I've always wanted to be a hand model. You know the disembodied hand you see on infomercials, explaining how to use a product? Yeah I wanted that as a side job.

    I count things. All the things. Rather than read a new book when I get it. I'll look at the total pages and divide them in an infinite array of ways to see how many reading sessions it'll take to read it. I can happily occupy a good hour doing this with a new book.

    I wear socks to bed but wake up in the morning with the right one off and the left one still on...every time. EVERY TIME...one sock on, one sock off. I must use my other foot to help kick it off in my sleep.

    When I set my alarm on my phone, I listen to it 3 times to make sure the sound is ACTUALLY on. One time I accidentally did it 4 times, and it bugged me so much, it took me an hour to get to sleep. I also sneeze in 3s. Not on purpose, it just happens.

    I do this. Even in a pack of new socks, I can tell you which ones are a pair in addition to which is left and right after they've been worn once.

    I also count things, either in 8's or in 3's... like I count steps when walking, by 8s.

    Are you sure your feet aren't playing muppets when you sleep?

    Sounds like OCD...

    I do have one weird quirk. I won't go to sleep unless my bathroom door and closet door are both closed.

    haha I have this too especially my mirrored closet door or if I have been using my ghd I check a million times that I turned it off before I do anything.

    my worst is cleanliness though (unless in a massive rush) and not the kind where everything is immaculate if anything is left out it bugs the hell out of me (on the floor, kitchen bench, bathroom, dressing table etc) but then I can shove a million things on my bed. Inconsistency at it's best lol :laugh:

    lol I am as meticulous with this especially if I am getting up for gym at 5am; usually 5 alarms will do.

    Then I lay there ensuring all silent functions are not activated, go through settings etc and switch the little click on and off hahah

    I love having cover songs like "Gin & Juice" by Phish and "Baby Got Back" by Grasshopper Takeover on my driving mixes... I get an enormous amount of glee when I see realization wash over other drivers who hear it, and feel like I score bonus points if they subsequently roll up their windows.

    My sister and I, since we were first able to drive, have had a habit of being total oddballs in the car, especially at red lights. Whether it is my sister pretending to have lost her sight and screaming out the window at other cars with their windows open about how she can't see (while keeping her eyes closed, so then she directs her face to them and opens her eyes and goes "Ah! It came back!")... pretending to drink anti-freeze... Playing Christmas music on blast... Playing "Awesome God" by Rich Mullins and doing the hand actions we were taught during our Catholic grade school days... We always have a blast.

    It's a family tradition to get my dad to make a sexual innuendo joke at the Thanksgiving dinner table. This tradition is usually coupled with trying to bring a bottle of wine that is a brand with a weird or suggestive name, like Menage a Trois or Mad Housewife.

    I give the stink eye to unruly kids when I'm out shopping, especially when their parents aren't paying attention and they are being little jerks. I will stand there and stare them down till they behave themselves.

    Sometimes when I'm feeling really lonely or need a hug, I will lean against a wall for comfort.

    I never wear a shirt and bra if I don't have to, but I rarely go without pants.

    I am obsessed with serial killers and the psychology of killing... Especially when it comes to women and children who kill. I have a list of my "top 5 favorite serial killers of all time" and have watched every video on BestGore. However, I will cry if I hit even the smallest of animals when driving, to the point where I may have to pull over and collect myself.

    Ha - just realised another one!

    I always know what time it is. Even if I haven't looked at a clock all day, if someone asks me what time it is, I will always guess and 100% of the time I get it right, with a 5 minute window either side. That weirdly still doesn't make me on time for anything.

    I also cannot sleep if the buttoned end of the duvet is near my face. THAT PART HAS TO BE NEAR THE FEET, GODDAMMIT, NOT THE FACE AND NOT THE SIDES EITHER.

    I have to sleep with my feet uncovered, two pillows under my head, one beside and shake one foot while trying to fall asleep.

    When watching underwater shows I will often hold my breath. And when playing video games, if there is a steep drop off, I get the same feeling as if I were going on a rollercoaster.

    I roll pills in my hands before taking them to get the bitter dust off of them, but not capsules.
