Now that you mention it, I'm the same, I always keep skills in games at even numbers or multiples of five, I guess it's just a fondness for keeping things even.The Maddest March Hare said:
I do these two things, but I was in marching band so the first one has been pretty much beaten into my head.Michael_McCloud said:
The second one goes further as I often catch myself talking to my game avatars as if they were real.
I regularly catch myself using plural words when refering to myself, i.e. we, us, and our. I believe this may have something to do with talking to my avatars.
A small one, but weird all the same, is whenever I bump into someone or do something and I want to say excuse me, I instead make a weird sound. "Opp" with a long o is typically the noise I make. Maybe I'm trying to say "oops" but instead I get that.I also shout out random and meaningless syllables whenever I'm doing something. They typically use k or short a sounds.
I have the usual alphabetizing thing but also:
If I scrunch my right toes, I have to do then scrunch my left, then right, then left, then both together.
I always say 'bless you' when someone sneezes, even if they can't hear me or I don't like them.
On the way to work there are mainly red bricks beneth my feet, however if I touch a grey one I have to touch another 6 more grey ones to make it 'right again'.
When in a car as a passenger, I have to altenate pressing my thumbs when their is a gap between the cars passing by.

If I'm outside, I never walk to my destination, I always jog or run, unless I'm with someone, in which case I kinda have to walk with them.
I have to arrange my DVDs in order of most awesome at the top to least awesome at the bottom.
I don't like things to be in perfect condition, they have to have at least a scratch or something. Luckily my cat is a great scapegoat for when mum finds out.

No one can look at my Ipod.
I eat all my food in a general order of what I dislike to what i like.

Mine has to be at least a 0 or a 5.ae86gamer said:
Although even numbers would be alot more sane.
I hate my skin showing, so sleeves must be pulled down at all times.
I also use bowls to eat anything, if at all possible.

I always make my right hand ring finger touch my middle finger like they're glued together,
just a habit.
xD
and whenever I think about something I really don't want to, saying "pears" outloud usually helps.

I never take the first item on a shelf, for example buying a magazine I flick 4-5 copies into the middle of the stack and get that one, check its ok then buy it. Same goes with food, game/dvd/cd cases, books, birthday cards etc.
If I crack a knuckle I have to crack the same knuckle on the other hand to make sure I'm symetrical.

I always have to blow in cups before I drink from them, no matter what; it makes going out very awkward.
I have to set my alarm to an odd number. Like if I have to get up at 9 I have to set it to 9:01.
Hug me, fellow obsessive locked door checker!Sexual Harassment Panda said:
Ok, not that number or any constant specific number, but I arbitrarily define a number and check it, and if I go over (I count a wiggle of the locking bar thing as a check) I go to a defined higher number.
Also, I obsessively look behind me, not in paranoia (ok, a little), but to make sure each eye gets an equal amount of glimpses of an object (typically a telephone poll). I also do this with my computer monitor when going upstairs to make sure there's nothing still running.
And in schools or other buildings with one of those black strips that stretches along the bottom of the wall, I avoid stepping on tile rows with a break in the black strip in them. I play a lot of games with close to the floor objects and tiles, really.
