    Where do I even begin? haha. I have this thing with numbers - no I idea why or how it started - where my TV volume always has to be an even number, the volume on my car radio has to be divisible by 5, and my seat number in classrooms has to end in 3 or 8. I also have an extreme phobia of birds, but I know exactly why and how that started...it was traumatic.

    I have the same thing!!! My radio volume as well, but it can be on 25 because it is 1/4 of 100. IDK ... weird stuff...
  • If I'm reading something that isn't holding my interest, I start counting the letters in each sentence to see if they're a multiple of 3. If they're, not, I include the dots over the any i or j, and punctuation.

    I pull the edges off of lunch meat. Blech!

    When I drink really cold water, my left armpit feels cold. Some kind of weird nerve hook up...
    i wish i had the cold water quirk, that must be nice on a really hot day

    I'm OCD-esque, I'm extremely Type-A, I have serious food issues (like disliking most fruits and veges- I didn't get up to 350 pounds by eating HEALTHY!), and I die a little inside every time I pass by a microwave and there is 'cook time' left from the previous user and it's flashing.. I MUST clear it. Lucky for me, almost all of my coworkers believe in Exposure Therapy in my presence, or they're trying to kill me. :)

    That is something that drives me insane!

    I have a LOT of moles and an extra set of fangs due to crooked teeth.
    I stutter, and I have a bad habit of not listening to my own advice.
    I'm also a massive clutz.

    *When I am done cooking, I have to look at the stove, point to the burners and say "off" to make sure they're off.
    *I can't sleep in a bed that has the bottom part of the sheets tucked under
    *I have to sleep with a fan on

    Totally agree with you on the sheets. I HATE having my feet squashed down!

    I have to sleep with a pillow between my legs. If I'm travelling and don't have an extra, I'll use a rolled up jacket or blanket.

    I check several times a day to make sure I didn't leave the keys in the front door. I'll physically open the door, reach around, and FEEL that there are no keys in the door. Then I'll lock the door and turn the knob to make sure its locked. My neighbours have been having loud, profane arguments lately, so the door-locking behavior now seems slightly less silly :embarassed:
  • I thought of more for myself. I can't stand it when different foods on my plate touch and I always sneeze in groups of 3.

    I always feel bad for bikes when their owners left the lights on, so I'll walk around turning parked bike lights off all the time.

    I hate feet. If you touch me with your feet it's an immediate punch in the throat. :explode:

    *Only my right eye get itchy
    *I always put my right shoe on first
    *Always start brushing my teeth on the left side
    *I can't blow my nose like regular people
    *My right arm is longer than my left, but my left leg is longer than my right.

    I have a tremor which I have had since birth. I have learned to control/hide it but if I am tired or after a hard workout I can't control it.
    I hate to drink anything...water, juice, gatorade, ect. The act of drinking is gross to me<<<<crazy

    I cant watch ships sink and if you try to touch me with a strawberry, I'll probably cry.
    what about the strawberry touching you makes you cry? And I bet you've never seen Titanic.

    strawberries are the devils poo. and Titanic made me vomit. Nooooo sinking ships!!!

    lol

    I remember numbers. No matter what. I hate when a person randomly says to me, "hey remember this number... Blah blah blah" because I'll remember it forever and I feel like it's taking up valuable brain space that I will need in my old age.

    I rub my feet together when I'm trying to sleep, I find it very calming. Apparently I do this when I'm actually asleep as well. My feet are always cold, I don't know if that is somehow related.

    I give myself arm and back scratches to fall asleep. I don't care, feels damn good. I'll do it for like half an hour.

    i have to know the zodiac sign of everyone i meet, i dance in the mirror constantly, when people cough around me i literally want to put on a Hazmat suit.
    lol I'm obsessed with zodiac signs too. I don't even read my horoscope.

    Mine are all sleep related.
    Can't sleep without a sheet covering and tucked under my feet (use to be my whole body like a mummy, I've gotten better).
    Can't sleep in a bed facing the wall lengthwise - 3 sides must be accessible..
    Must sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door.

    I'm surprised about how many people on here have to sleep with the fan on. I thought it was only me. I've wondered if that will go away when I lose weight- I don't know how much of it is the fact that I tend to overheat easily.

    I can't STAND long toenails. It completely freaks me out.

    I hate wearing shoes. I don't think I've ever owned a pair of shoes I couldn't wait to take off.

    I love jewelry but I never wear it. I'm always sure it looks ridiculous.

    I prefer knowing the ending to movies and books before I watch or read them.

    Oh man...I have so many...but I have fibromyalgia and the one thing that soothes the pain is a bath so I take like at least 5 baths a day but I can't get out of the tub until it "feels" right can't explain why it just is, same thing with my bed can't get out until I feel that feeling, I constantly have websites running through my head and I have to think of the website and if I misspell the website in my head then I have to say it until it feels right which is sometimes like 30 times, I can't throw anything away that my mom gives me since my grandma died even a cheap tupperware container I am worried something happen to her and I won't have anything to remember her by but it has gotten to ridiculous level...thats just the beginning of my crazy :)

    My left armpit never stinks. I save on deodorant since I only put it on the right. :blushing:

    I'm deathly afraid of lizards.

    I constantly count everything especially the top, bottom, and sides of my thumbs by running my forefinger over them. 1-2-3-4- dives me nuts. Anything square will do.

    I won't eat carbs, meat, dairy (other than yogurt), any fats, etc. I basically live on apples, oranges, diet yogurt, and pickles. As a treat I'll buy one banana now and again or have two pieces of diet bread with mustard. After making the two pieces of toast I scrunch the bread up and pour dish soap on it so I won't be tempted to eat more.

    I'm sure there's more but I can't think of them right now.

    I hate it when people hold the door open for me. Even if my hands are full, I'd much rather open my own door. If I'm near a door at the same time as someone else, I'll pretend to be going the other direction or fake a cell phone call just to avoid the irritation of it.
