What are some of your quirks?

[Beev]

I like half & half. Like by itself. I work at a hotel and frequently open like 20 of those little half & half thimble sized containers and put them all in a cup and drink it.

Bills in a register all have to face the same why. I'm not sure why I do that.

If I go back to play a game I haven't played in a few months then I have to start over at the beginning. I can't just pick up from a saved game, no matter how far along it is.

You?

 

[DivideBYZero]

I gut-punch cats.

 

[Beev]

Kittens too?

 

[hjo3]

I can't wear watches or rings. I'm always conscious of them and have to constantly adjust them so they don't rest on the same patch of skin for too long.

i'm a bit obsessive with cleanliness. i came to my friends house to fix his computer. while windows was installing, i just couldn't helpt it, i was cleaning his desk. i can't stand a messy room. weird i know.

I won't use the last of anything (i.e. the last paper towel, the last of anything from a container or bottle -- such as shampoo, ketchup, etc.., the last of a drink, the last of a dishwashing liquid, and the list goes on...)

ME TOO!

Also, like Rex, I cry when I orgasm.

Thats kinda interestin.
I'm the opposite. I have to use up the last of everything, just to get rid of it. I also prefer to dump as many things as possible into tupperware and rubbermaid containers, then toss the original package.

I feel this strange urge to rename mp3s and fill in all the meta-data when I'm at a friend's computer. Who the hell stores hundreds of mp3s with file names like [newstufftorrent]_01_YEAHBABAY_right_thurr_chingy_DJJONESMIX.mp3???

When I'm driving, I often pretend to jump my car over shadows in the road by pressing an imaginary button on my steering wheel. I can only land in the sunlit areas of the road. I'm 34 and I've caught myself doing that every once in a while since I was around 18.

Also, I can't stand toilet paper that comes off from the underside. It always has to roll off the top.

LOL... almost spit my coffee out. :laugh:

As for me I usually have all the bills in my wallet right-side up and facing the same way. And if I'm sitting somewhere that allows it like a table, sometimes when eating Skittles group them into colored groups and eat from each group.

 

[brunswickite]

I use lots of napkins when I eat. I also wash my hands during meals occasically.

 

[Chryso]

I will add up license plate numbers of other cars in my head when I am driving.

Kittens can wait. Their time will come.

I must have all the bills in my wallet organized by denomination, all facing the same way, and all upright.
I also have to count the money in my wallet each morning before going to work. (Left the house one morning years ago, drove 90 miles to work, stopped for gas and had just a few dollars, not enough even for gas to get home. Wife had cleaned me out and didn't tell me, and I didn't carry credit cards! Had to bum gas money from one of my co-workers.)

I do that too.

Anyways, one quirky thing about me Is that I like sleeping on the floor jsut as much as in a bed. I can easily fall asleep on hard wood or tile with no blankets or pillow and have done so tens if not a hundred times.

I USED to have a whole bunch of OCD type things that I did when I was younger, like I would have to turn the same number of degrees each direction if I was walking somewhere (so like after taking 3 left turns I would take 3 right turns instead of another left) Also I used to never walk on the lines in concrete, I would always have to step over them, and if I was touched on one side of my body I would have to touch myself on the other side in the same place. However at around age 15 I decided that these sort of things were retarded to do so I decided to stop, which was a little hard at first, but you get over it.

 

[Zysoclaplem]

I have to hit cancel 3 times at every ATM type machine I use when I am done. Gas Stations, Walmart, ATMs, etc..etc..
I don't like the smell of others so I hold my breathe when I walk by people.
My hands have to be clean at all times. If they have a smell at all I have to wash them.
I'll laugh out loud at jokes in my head. People always stare.
I check my car doors for dings every time I get in it, even if there are no cars around.
I don't use butter on anything. I use the fat free calorie free butter flavored cooking spray. I put it on toast, in eggs, on Grilled Cheese Sandwiches...everything.

 

[TallBill]

I can't use a metal spaghetti strainer.
I can't get ice cream to go in the desert.
I get sick to my stomache if I think about styrofoam creaking (I'm shaking right now)

Lots more, but that should suffice.

 

[pontifex]

i'm sure i have some quirky mannerism or whatever but i can't think of anything right now. it may be something i do unconsciously

 

[EngenZerO]

i have to have all my console controllers (ps3 and 36) alligned at 45 degree angles opposite of each other (minus the wii remote) and remotes alligned perfectly on my coffee table.

i have to place my tag in a 45 degree angle on top of its cushion every night.

i have my closet organzied by brand and then color.

 

[msi1337]

I shop compulsively and resell almost everything I buy. I have a complex where I can't allow myself to keep something.

And I am super picky about how food is handled and proper food safety techniques

 

[pontifex]

should change the title to "The Official ATOT OCD Thread"

 

[Chronoshock]

If I'm eating candy with a variety of flavors (like Skittles) I set up a color rotation to make sure same colors are as separated as possible. Since it can get tricky with large amounts, I only do it when there are under 10 or so left

 

[SonnyDaze]

I have a mouse clicking fetish. I am constantly clicking the left mouse button. I do it on the destop at work and on my lappy at home. It can lead to frustration when it happens on a link......:|

 

[SViper]

I used to compulsively pick my nose with my finger when I was younger. I always had to have my nose clean. I would pick it to the point of me having sores in my nose. I still pick my nose now, but no where near as often as I have in the past.

I don't clean my ears of ear wax....at all. I never wanted to stick anything in my ear to clean it because I know that I have a chance to push the wax deeper into my ear and cause an infection. I've never had any ear infection problems when the wax builds up though, nor have I had any hearing problems. When it builds up enough, it just falls out of my ear.

Edited for clarity.
