When I lock a door, I have to test the handle 10 times, if I accidently do 11...I have to continue on to 20 times.
What are YOUR oddball mannerisms?

I do the same thing with my clothes, I hate changing clothes during the day. If I come home at 11 AM but I need to go out at 8 PM again then I will not get into something more comfortable.Zombie_Fish said:
I'm also pretty obsessive about closing doors. I can't stand open doors in the house.
I alphabetise all my games, DVD's and CD's.
I have to do the same thing with the palms of my hands - so if I pick something up that's too hot/cold, I have to have the other hand touch it in the same place. In fact, general symmetry is something I can get a little OCD-ish about...
When I'm nervous, I touch my nose and mouth.
I'll stop there, but there are others.

Giving objects personalities, like making fridges talk. Me and a friend at work named the dishwasher King Richard proclaiming it king of the dishwashers then making it talk
"FEED ME MORE PLATES, FEED ME DIRTY CUTLERY SO THAT I MAY MAKE THEM SHINEY" etc
yup I'm pretty sad, I don't do it as often now

Ooh, I've got a few of these. Let's see...
If music is playing, everything I do is in tempo. It's not a conscious effort, it just happens.
I talk to animals and machines, as if they were capable of understanding me. This is particularly true of canines and computers.
I alphabetize my DVDs. Pissed off my dad when I was a kid because he had them sorted by genre.
I have a near-OCD attraction to numbers divisible by five (ie. ending in 5 or 0). If something costs $8 and a larger pack costs $15, I'm getting the latter whether or not I actually need that much.
The most interesting of all, though, is that I get strange urges around the full moon. It doesn't matter whether or not I know it's the full moon, either. In fact, there have been times that I knew it was the full moon because of these urges. I start craving meat (particularly beef and game), particularly cooked rare. I... Er... I'm not getting into the second one. Thirdly, I have a compulsion to run. Nowhere in particular, just to run. Even stranger, this isn't a problem if I'm wearing silver. I'm well aware that it's all likely a bizarre coincidence, but still...

When I'm standing around I tend to constantly bend my knees. Then when I sit down I constantly move them from side to side (though quite a lot of people do that).
Oh, and here's a fun little contradiction: I don't really care about my disk games. I have disks all over my room in piles. They're almost never in their cases. Yet I spent a good 10 minutes sorting out my Virtual Console/Wiiware purchases so Virtual console was alphabetical by system and then by game. Wiiware was just by game obviously

Perhaps its just some sort of OCD which has centered around werewolf perceptions. Isn't The human mind fun!Michael_McCloud said:
Thinking about it I don't have many quirks, the only real ones being an inability to sit still if everyone else around me is doing so (E.G assemblys etc) and a curious aversion to eating many fruit's, I know they taste nice, and are good for me, infact I love many of them, but I just Can't bring myself to eat them
Okay...Charisma said:
If I'm eating sweets like Fruit Pastelles, Skittles or things like that, I have to sort them by colour, then eat them systematically in order of preference.
I sort out the coins in my pocket so the biggest is against my leg and the smallest is facing out.
When I'm out with friends, I tend to order drinks in a certain order (not a conscious thing, but I usually have lager/cider first, then something stronger later in the night).
I always have the volume on my tv set to an even number or a multiple of five.
So five is fine, but seven is not etc.

Relatively the same thing for me, but its not for washing my hands, its for stupid stuff.Kif said:
Also, if I have something a certain way, and it gets messed up or moved, I will force myself to make it perfect again, and if I fail, I will get pissed and annoyed the rest of the day.
When I go to sleep I need to have Wawa Diet Iced Tea next to me to drink, or it bothers me. I dont know why though.
I bit my nails almost everyday, for no reason. Most of the time, Ill bite as much nail as possible without me ripping it off my skin and hurting me. I then bite the skin around my nails, sometimes until it really hurt, or bleeds.
Those are only a few quirks i have, I believe I have many more.
Pretty much this, only not limited to the TV. If it's a game with levels, I won't be happy to leave the game on an odd number unless it's a multiple of 5, that would feel unfinished. In games like Fallout with skill point assignments, all skills are even or a multiple of 5.SmilingKitsune said:
I used to do this thing when I was about 8-9 years old where if I did something one way, I would have to do it again in the opposite direction. Just say I did three clockwise spins on the spot, then I would have to do three anti-clockwise spins on the spot.
Sorta like reeling myself in then reeling myself out because I always imagined a rope around me when I did it.
I would always get annoyed with myself when I did it because it wasn't on purpose either.

I constantly pop my neck and adjust my shoulders and shirt and pants all the time. I also have this thing with my fingers where i push the 2nd and 4th finger down while pushing the other 3 upwards and vice versa, it's a MAJOR habit, I can't stop doing it and I've been doing it for a decade.
