    Oh yeh I do that spelling things out with my finger thing too - but on whatever surface is close by, e.g. desk, table, chair arm. Thin air if there is no surface. And no, I don't do it as part of bean-flicking (although... there's an idea).

    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.
    My version of this is if the pillow is touching my shoulders or even my neck I wont sleep. The whole lot has to be scrunched up toward the headboard so that only my head is resting on it

    It's a cunnilingus technique - spelling things out with your tongue.

    I post stupid, sometimes nonsensical posts in After Hours.

    That reads more like a confession than a quirk, I suppose.

    But he preferred the chocolate orange one instead of the mint.

    i have a serious thing about people walking behind me - if a persons 10 foot or closer walking behind me i stop and let them pass - i just cant let them stay behind me

    i bite my inner lip until it bleeds

    if theres a fly in the room i wont eat - example if i am just about to have my dinner and theres a fly in my room the dinner goes in the microwave and i wont eat it (ugh)

    i have to put a coaster over my drinks when i am in a beer garden

    i randomly count things - if theres a panaled window ill count the panels- then do it again and again just to be sure theres still the same amount as last time( i am sane i promise)

    Curtains must be completely closed not even the slight crack can be left.
    Will never and I mean never buy water in a pub. Even in rounds NO ,will get /pay for anything else.
    Will always put aside/cut off the nicest looking piece of meat at the start of a meal to be eaten last.
    Even if its raining will always wait outside for a taxi (even if I'm in my own home )

    I am engrossed in fantasy and zone out a lot, often while talking to people. I spend several hours daily daydreaming.

    If I'm nervous or upset, I pull my left earlobe.

    I push my glasses up by scrunching my nose up.

    I can't sleep on my back or stomach, only on my right side, and only with one leg sticking out of the blanket.

    If I dont sleep on my own pillow, I get earaches. Swear to God. :(

    Also, cant have cereal with milk unless its from a brand new carton/jug/bottle.

    Hate being late. I get all panicky and anxious.

    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.

    Same here... I'm always having to wait for things to start or people to arrive.

    I brush my teeth standing on one foot. Don't know why.

    If I look at a digital clock I constantly create the smallest fractions in my head. So 12:36 = 1/3. 15:55 = 3/11. Etc.

    I HATE odd numbers.

    Volume settings, temp settings, any setting of any description must be an even number, e.g. 22 / 24 / 26, etc. However I do make an exception for the number 5 so settings 15 / 25 / 35, etc. are ok.

    Here's the scary bit - If I read a particularly good post on boards I usually thank it but if the number of thanks is already an even number I won't, for obvious reasons. Of course I do make an exception if the current number of thanks is 24 / 34 / 44, etc.

    I do realise I probably have a touch of Autism. :o

    if I happen to look at a digital clock and the time is pallindromic - e.g. 21:12, I get insanely happy.

    Actually you've just made me realise that even though I hate odd numbers I get a lot of satisfaction when the time is 11:11 or 21:21! :eek:

    Coasters are some of the filthiest things in those places, you're just letting the germs fall into your drink by doing that!

    What is is with digital clocks? Everytime i look at the time I mentally turn the numbers upside down; it's 9:25 now and I have the series 'S2:6' in my head.

    The butter in my tubs of butter must be consumed lengthways and kept even. You can't just randomly dig the knife in. And if you even THINK of putting a crummy knife back in that tub, well God help you.

    When dicing chicken, I have to make sure every last scrap of sinew and horrible white bits are completely cut off.
    I cut rraw chicken fillets with a knife and fork.

    I have to empty the bin outside, to transfer into the wheelie bin.

    The fridge door must only be opened for a few seconds before any flies get in.

    My central heating must be at 63c and that's it, no more, no less.
