    If I order chips with anything, inevitably I eat them all but I root through them and eat them in order of the tastiest looking ones first. Also, half peanuts have no place in my mouth!

    What ya got?

    When I cycle to work, if someone at a bus stop has their hand out to hail a bus behind me...

    I always wear silk gloves when I go strangling.

    I don't like using plates for making sandwiches or toast, I have to use a piece of kitchen roll. I don't know why.

    It takes me at least an hour and a half to get out of bed. I lay in bed with a massive morning glory and dieing to go wee wee and cant do anything

    Baked beans and potatoes must never be on the same plate.

    If the back of my right foot isn't touching something in bed I can't sleep and freak out a bit.


    I have no idea why. I'm actually sane.

    - I can only tolerate a tiny drop of milk in my tea and I'm too impatient to wait for it to cool down, so I put the mug in a bowl of cold water the way you'd cool a baby bottle down

    - I like to sing the theme tunes to various television programmes by using the programme title repeatedly as the lyrics ("Corrrrrrr-o-o-nation Streeeeet...")
    Somebody told me that that is extremely Alan Partridge - and I have to agree.

    - Blister-packs, and boxes of biscuits/chocolate (if they're all the same) at Christmas where someone just takes out a tablet/biscuit/chocolate randomly rather than in order... annoy me.

    Everything has to be done in fours or multiples of four.

    I will eat a sandwich in four bites, a wrap in eight, I will take four steps walking over a driveway then four more or maybe eight going past the hedge or wall.
    Every stairs wiil consist of sixteen steps, the last couple imaginary just to get to my number.
    Sausages are always cut up into four pieces and I'll either have two or four never three. Four pedal rotations between lamposts, if I played tennis the ball would have to be bounced four times. Pavements are broken up into multiples of four or sixteen.
    I will try to knock a nail in with four blows of my hammer, will flick and catch my hammer four times, will cut a piece of timber using multiples of four saw strokes.
    I don't walk funny or stretch my stride it's just calculating and recalculating constantly in everything I consciously do. I have done this for as long as I can remember. It just keeps the universe in order for me.

    I sleep with my arm in the air.

    When I eat my dinner I can't bear any lumps, so my potatoes veg and meat and gravy will be completely blended together before ill touch it, then ill eat it with a teaspoon.

    I walk with my toes sticking up and ruins all my shoes.

    I just tried that, in my head, with the Murder She Wrote theme tune.

    Bloody hard.

    Muh-huh-huh-huh-huh-ur-der-er-she-wrote
    Muh-uh-huh-huh-huh-huh-huh-der-er-er-she-wrote.

    WTF? :D

    Oh I always eat the caramel but of the twix first, then munch into the biscuit part with a cup of tea.

    If you can't strip all the chocolate from a club bar then just fire the biscuit part in the bin and start again!

    When I was starting to figure out coding, I developed a habit of making a clicking sound with my tongue and the roof of my mouth whenever I saw I'd made a mistake and had to go back and fix it.

    Only now I do it when I make any mistake, like dropping something or counting change wrong at a till, or even in conversation. :o

    I'm so fuc king OCD with the alarm on my phone. I check it about 8 times at about 3 different times to make sure my alarm is set. But always is.

    Man that takes skill and amazing jaw/lip dexterity.

    Bravo

    - I talk to myself.

    - I like to put my hair across the top of my lip to make a moustache. Do it all the time in public without realising it.

    - I like to drink all cold drinks out of a wine glass.

    - If I hear a new word in English or Spanish, I unconsciously spell it out with my finger on my arm.

    - I'm constantly pulling silly/stupid faces to the point that I don't even notice it until I'm staring at someone with a face not unlike my avatar and they point it out.

    - I'm obsessive about being punctual. I'm often somewhere 30 minutes before whatever it is starts. I find it humanly impossible to be on time or even just in time.

    you sound fun! :)

    I'm especially impressed with the Helen Keller new word thing. Must try it!

    Thanks for comparing me to Helen Keller; I was thinking more on the lines of Rain Man?

    I step over cracks but then count to make sure my left leg and right leg have even numbered times.

    I always touch the inside if a spoon off the inside of a cup to drain the last drop off the spoon.

    I'm completely OCD about my cereal to milk ratio.

    If I hear a word or words that are from a song, subconsciously I recognize the song and before I know it, later on that day I begin to sing that song to myself. Sometimes, even one word will trigger it.

    Oh, and I cannot, if my life depended on it, drown out a song if it is playing. I have been know to leave shops if there's a particularly offensive tune on.

    Elect a clown... Expect a circus
