Spin-off to superstitions: QUIRKS?!

Do you have any little quirks that you do often?

I have a ton!

1. I can't let my food touch - don't know if it's OCD or if it's just b/c I don't like mixing things...

2. I only eat one thing at a time - so if there's meat, potato and veggie on my plate, I'll eat all of the meat then all of the veggie then all of the potato...

3. while i'm doing this I have to turn the plate clockwise..

okay, i know you all think I'm freaks, but it's a ritual - it drive my mother crazy!

4. I fidget a lot, restless legs, the whole bit.

5. I don't walk on the grates on the sidewalk... i'm always afraid i'll fall in..

hmmm, i'm drawing a blank, let me think.

i've got to agree with avoiding walking on sidewalk grates- i always try not to step on that stuff.

and like i mentioned in the other post, i'm a door closer. i like all my closets & cabinets closed perfectly before bed. I even like the t.v. cabinet shut... i just feel like things are messy otherwise.

oh, and FH points out to me all the time I love to have multiple lights on at all times. and if its day time i love the blinds openall the way... guess I'm a little obsessed with having lots of light!

OMG... I'm the same way with #5

Also, for work every time I turn on my computer at work and open up all the sites I work with I keep them in the same order so if my email box closes down I close everything down to keep it in order.

I'm a neat freak so I'm always straitening things like books, picture frames, etc

I have a few:

1. I run the shower before I get in it. For example I brush my teeth and wash my face in the sink while the shower is running (so much for conservation).

2. I need some sort of noise when I sleep whether it be the TV, the humidifer in the winter or the AC in the summer. Silence is deafening!

3. I wash my hands a gazillion times a day.

4. I HATE using other people's phones, especially in the office. Something about it skeeves me.

5. I HAVE to make the bed before I leave the house. Even if it's only to run a quick errand.

6. I can't sleep knowing that there are dishes in the sink

7. I can't end the work week with more than 10 emails in my inbox & HAVE to write the next days to-do list before I leave every night.

There are more but I think you got the idea of how neurotic I am.

I'm the same way with my windows on my computer. I have to have Outlook as the first window.

I have had the same alarm clock since I was 16 and I still till this day check about 10 times before I got to bed that it is on

I can not leave my office until every paper, pen, clip, etc... is in it's place. My Co-workers mess with me all the time and come in here to screw it up.

I can not taste anyone's Ice Cream or take a bite of a sandwich with dairy in it, it skeeves the hell out of me.
