Weird stuff you do?

kittensoft1984

So i know im a little odd (or so i keep being told!)

I have these little weird things i do....like:

1. When in the toilet at work and someone else is in there too I always wait till the other person comes out and leaves the toilet before i come out of the cubicle.....

2. I wont get up out of bed unless its 15 past the hour - like it has to be 7am, 7.15, 7.30 etc etc....

so come on what weird things do you do! i cant be the only one!!

I'm all about 'The Land Before Time' - "Don't step on the crack or you'll fall and break your back". No footpath cracks for me.

Al_Fernz

To prevent stage fright in a crowded toilets I have to rest my right hand against the wall at head height.

Bendihorse

I eat funny too, all veg first, then all meat then finish with spuds, never mix my food on the fork either.

I tidy the room before i sit down. I make my bed and tidy away my clothes before i go to bed... Dont rest easy in an untidy room. Yas OCD, they have invented a syndrome for us Monicas.

When playing video games I chew my tongue so intensely that it sometimes hurts when I stop gaming

Also, when eating dinner I always leave a bit of my favourite thing on the plate until last so that my memory of the dinner is good - delayed gratification for the win.

When I'm having a wan...no, better stop there.

rugbug86

I chew my headphones while listening to music and stick my tongue out when I'm concentrating, and I'm awfully OCD-ish when it comes to stairs. I need to count them when I walk up them and if I get the number wrong I have to go back and do it again.I use lifts lots...

syklops

I dont shower everyday.

Im still playing with lego despite being 24 - The dirtbike I got yesterday is sooo cool!

I often get urges to clean/fix everything in the house, but I usually start it and dont finish it, which reminds me I have to put the back back on the washing machine.

I have an obsessive compulsive desire to fix things. And occasionally, not often, but occasionally, when on a night out I get a strong urge to go home and sit in front of my computer. Hasn't happened in a while but thats maybe because if I am not on the computer, my GF is.

buckfast4me

I am perfect in every way.

Gun_Slinger

When I'm having tea and biscuits I have to blow all crumbs off the biscuit before I dunk it in me tea! Drives some people mad and I never thought it was weird until people started commenting.

I eat raw black pudding

I tried the brown sauce in tea after seeing Intermission and became an addict for a while.

Unaton

I can't use the bath/shower right after my family members. The bath/shower either has to dry or if it's still slightly damp, I have to bleach it.

My OH has an obsession with the number 3.

I can't stand on the cracks on the footpath. I also have to fold all clothes when putting them away, but they have to be folded properly, not that sh1tty rushed folding.....

kittensoft1984

the number 3?? in what way?

Practically everybody 'learns' to fall asleep on one side or t'other and it becomes very hard to break this habit (unless under the influence). Especially if you're conscious of it.

I do that with everything. Especially sweets, jellies etc. Always Always Always leave the best til last.

[QUOTE=Gun_Slinger;55678246I eat raw black pudding [/QUOTE]

Me too, and white as well.

I eat my toenails straight off the toe.
I have to have a window seat on a bus. If i know that all of them are taken, I'll either stand downstairs or wait 'til the next one.

When I wear my watch I wear it on my right hand (I'm right handed).

ryoishin

i say things in my head over and over, id say im boardlining the ocd thing.

Use to be a hygene freak but not so much anymore. Also smell my finger if i rub in between my toes.

Raw pig blood.. Yummy! :pac:

If I see a longish number, like off a car registration number plate, ill try to add/multiple/combine each individual digit in my head, to try and make a multiple of 10..

Sherifu

I take off my watch when I eat. Something my grandad used to do i'm told.

FunkyChicken

Raw black & white pudding are so tasty. Far nicer than when cooked.

I count steps all the time too even though I know how many most of the ones I normally use have (14, 29, 15). It's really annoying cos I dont want to do it but it just happens. I have to say something out loud to stop or distract myself so I cover a few steps and lose count.

edit: Ditto on the car reg adding up to 10 thing. Always do that when smoking in the work car park.

Another one is saying words I see on sign posts or billboards etc. backwards in my head. I know hundreds of words backways now

Overheal

I chew on my shirt collar or my hoodie threads when im nervous/anxious

If I've been playing the same video game too long I'll begin to imagine it manifesting in real life as I walk down the street.

I will ocassionaly wear sunglasses at night.

Yep same here. I think its only fair. Taking a dump is a private thing, and since the two of your have just heard each other taking a dump, its best not to know who each other was ....

Or at least thats some ****ed up attempt at a logical explanation lol

yeah me too but more when I'm watching TV or playing a video game. I have big chew marks in the necks of many a t-shirt.[/QUOTE]

Thats just you being American hehe

Ay Cee

If someone in work uses the microwave and takes the food out before it reaches 0:00 I have to reset the digits back to zero. I can't leave it at like 0:03 or 0:17

I'd gotten up from eating before, hit reset and sat back down before I even noticed what'd I'd done.

Overheal

No Cunny theres some things I do that will make even an American's head turn around

Well, don't play GTA then. :pac:

Sometimes if I've been doing something visual and repetitive for awhile before going to bed, like playing Tetris, or drawing on CAD, I keep doing it in my head, and can't sleep.

Clink

I read every newspaper and magazine from the last page forwards, doesn't make any sense as I'm not a sports fan

Has to turn to light off 3 times, check's phone 3 times etc etc... OCD FTW!!!

I have a thing about odd numbers. I hate even numbers. If i'm putting food in the microwave i'll heat it for 1min 37secs or 2min 13secs. I can't just put it on for 1min or 2 min etc etc..

When i'm playing football as well I always try and wear an odd number.

kizzyr

I can only sleep on the left side of the bed and can only fall asleep when turned on my left side.
When using the toilet anywhere other than my own house I alway wipe the seat with tissue paper.
When using a public bathroom if someone else comes in I will wait until they're gone before I leave the cubicle.
All of the clothes in my wardrobe have to be facing in the same direction i.e the buttons on the shirts etc be facing to the right and the enclosed part of the hanger must be facing outwards.
Depending on what I'm having for dinner I don't like the different foods touching off each other. So if I'm having steak, potatoes, carrots, sugar snaps and onions they can't be touching off each other. If they are I'll move them away from each other before I'll being eating.
When eating said dinner I will eat it in sections i.e. the carrots first, then sugar snaps, then potatoes, then steak and then onions. The odd thing is (yeah like there is only one:o) that if I'm eating a stir fry or lasagne or some such I have no problem with the foods touching or being eaten together.
If I'm walking somewhere with someone I can't stand them being on my left hand side, it just feels wrong.
Thats enough of my madness for a while:o

I used to spell words backwards in my head. Like if I was talking to someone I'd start spelling every word they said backwards in my head.

I also keep adding up the numbers on my vcr/dvd player to make multiples of the first few digits or make the number symmetric in some way. Love when it hits 1.23.45. actually sometimes pay more attention to this than what im watching.

+1

but I take it a step further. If I step on a crack with my left foot, I have to step on one with my right foot. For some reason, it doesn't work the other way round. Also, if I'm walking up stairs, I get upset if one leg has climed more than another. It has to go something like left-right-left-right. Odd numbered stairs freak me out.

I'm also obsessed with visual continuity. Example: if I'm in car/bus/train i'll focus solely on either plants of buildings (usually depending on whether I'm going through a town or the countryside), and I try to make sure i can always 'see' from one tree to the next. If a house were in the way, I'd look for a bush in front of the house, or grass. All this has to be done before I drive by. Driving can be quite exhausting.

I'm a bit of a clean freak. Well, its more i have a certain set of standards. Hair in the shower/sink being the most important one.
