    Another post, then I'll leave, promise.

    I ALWAYS stop at RR crossings. Not slow down, but stop like a school bus does. When I was little, my mother's car stalled on the tracks as the gates came down for a train that was on it's way. She got it going just in time, but it definitely left an impression on me. Occasionally someone will toot their horn at me, but whatever.

    I can't wear my watch in my house, but I can't leave my house without it. I feel naked.
    I can't sleep without the television on and I'm an insomniac, so I wake up all night long. I have my bedroom arranged so that I can see the television while facing away from it in the mirror on my dresser in the event I roll over.
    I haven't balanced my checkbook since the "invention" of online banking. My register consists of two repeated entries: deposit and balance. Every few days, I will go online to see the "available balance" and write that in.
    I can't walk inside my house barefoot - I have to wear socks, but no shoes (and yes, my house is clean), but I love going barefoot outside.

    Weird?? Probably

    If the volume on the TV is not an even number I can't stand it. It has to be an even number. At least my wife is accepting of this.

    When I eat, I have to eat and FINISH one item at a time. I can't take a bite of this a bite of that and a bite of something else then go back to do it again. I just can't.

    I always unlock my car on the passenger side, put my purse on the passenger seat and then walk around the back of the car and get in the drivers side. I'm not sure if that's weird, but I guess I could unlock the drivers door, chuck my purse in, and get in, but I decide to make it complicated and I've been asked why I do it, I have no idea hahahah I just like to.

    I have a thought about it.... After spilling a drink that was sitting in the console by throwing a bag into the passenger seat I now do almost the same thing (but I don't carry a purse). :-)

    :) I have spilled so much coffee on my passenger seat, but that's only because I forget the lid is off of it and I might turn a little too sharply. :) NO PURSE!? WAHHH. Hehehe.

    I have to check my zipper when leaving the bathroom. Even if i just went in there to wash my hands. Even if i JUST checked it before, i have to check it as i'm leaving.

    i also use paper towels to touch anything in a public bathroom. sink, door, anything.

    I am unable to finish a cup of tea.....Wasteful...but their is a reason!
    My elderly Grandma always insisted on making you tea...you could never refuse.
    She used loose leaf tea..... but would forget to use the strainer, more often than not!
    A gob full of leaves...ugh...
    She passed away years ago, but I still cannot drink the bottom third, or so, of a cuppa...no matter who makes it or where it is made!

    Whenever I eat an apple. Not a pear, or a banana. But specifically an apple that has a sticker on it. I peel the sticker of and stick it on my hand. Only after I have consumed said apple that I can throw away the sticker. Must be a childhood thing!

    My right shoulder always has to be covered in order for me to fall asleep. I could go to bed, read, talk, daydream, or whatever, but as soon as I cover my shoulder I’m out. My hair cannot touch my neck while I’m sleeping, I flip the pillow a few times every night, and no matter how cold it is I can’t sleep with socks or sleeves. I also have lotion in almost every room of my house and apply it every five minutes or so, to hands and feet.

    My food can't touch any other food on the plate. I section it all off. If I use ketchup or another condiment I have to make sure there is none on the fork before I eat veggies or fruit or whatever. I have even wiped the fork off with a napkin. My husband laughs at me all the time for doing this but he thought I lost my mind when I bought some plates that were already divided for me to use.

    I can't eat meat directly off the bones. Gnawing on an animal carcass is enough to gag me, literally.

    Where to begin? LOL
    Cannot go to bed without washing face and brushing teeth in a certain routine and must have my feet covered so the boogie monster doesn't get my toes (not really, but why else must my feet be covered?)
    Cannot relax until the kitchen is clean and dishes are not sitting in the sink and if it's a school night, lunches have to be made and ready to go for the next day.....THEN I can relax
    Towels MUST be folded in a specific way
    Can't run the clothes washer without a full load

    My mate would say there's a million different 'house rules' like don't leave your **** lying all over, but I think it's just that I hate wastefulness and disorganization. :) That's my story and I'm sticking to it. Great post!

    I cant have pictures of people in my house anywhere, not even abstract ones. If there is a picture of a person on a box or magazine, I have to cover it up. I also dont like cardboard boxes in my house - i will empty out all the groceries and get rid of as many of the boxes as possible, even if it means I put the food in other containers, so I can throw out the cardboard boxes. I do it in my office kitchen too. I think it drives people crazy but I cant help it.

    OMG i just though of another one... i have workout OCD


    If I'm on a treadmill or elliptical i have to end my workout calories burned on a 0 or a 5. For example: 107 calories burned would make me continue to workout until I see 110.

    I do this too, but I have weird habits with numbers in general and OCD with some things. It's probably pretty common!

    I sniff everything...even the bad things...even when I know it will be bad. I also talk to myself...so much that my co-workers frequently comment about how I'm like an old crazy lady.

    I tool the time to line up all the screw heads on my switch plates and outlet covers to the same orientation. This would drive me out of my mind:

    I would say I have some weird eating habits. Especially with pizza. I HAVE to eat my pizza in this fashion every time: I take a bite of the crust first. I flip it around and take a bite of the front. I flip it back around and I finish the crust. Then I flip it back around to the front and finish the slice that way. Every. Time.
    I also eat what I like the least first and I save what I enjoy the most for last. I eat these snack pacs most days, and I always eat the carrots first, then the grapes, then I pick out the broken pretzels and eat those first. Then I have to match up my cheese so each piece has a pretzel to go on. I eat the pretzels first that don't get cheese...then lastly I eat the matched up cheese/pretzels together. I have a TON of strange eating habits. I also don't like my food touching, so I'm a big fan of paper plates with the separated compartments!
    lol

    Well, I collect Elmo's, perhaps that's enough? My OH thinks it makes me weird anyway!

    I also park away at the end of a car park, my dad parked that way to avoid getting dents in his company car, I guess I caught it from him.

    I am really fussy about cutlery at home, it has to be 18/10 stainless steel, when I eat out I only insist the cutlery is clean and not still holding food from a previous meal!!!

    In the past I would never pair socks, and all my socks are bright colours so I'd hunt through the drawer to find two the same... my OH hated that with a passion, now socks are paired, boo!

    When putting diesel into the car, I have to stop the counter on a whole pound, if it goes a penny over I'm filling until the next whole pound - this is REALLY tricky now that the price is so high!!

    That's plenty, though I do have lots more...

    ...

    Approaching the end of a meal, I actually start to think about what I want for a "last bite" .. what's the last flavor from this meal I will have? I will then eat accordingly, saving that planned "last bite".

    My wife has CDO - I am just too modest to elaborate my own traits.

    Hmmm? I do eat the whole apple, core and all but this comes from overweight childhood being sent to school with 4 SMALL apples for lunch SO I ATE EVERY SCRAP!!!!!
