Another thread got me to thinking about this. I am not a Superstitious person but I guess these are my own personal OCD things.
I never eat chips out of the Bag, always in a bowl or not at all. If I have a bag of chips and cant find a bowl, I just mentally dont want them anymore and put them back in the pantry.
I sing the SAME song in my head when getting staged in my lane at the track. This is just habit, but now its like a radio that switches on and its always the same song. Car, truck or Bike its the same..
I wont put a Hat on a table, EVER. dont know why, I just wont.
Wifes quirks-
Wont touch baking powder or flour. She just gets completley wierded out by the feel of it.
Wont let a dog sneak under her leg is shes sitting on the couch and they try to run under her leg to go past. She will stop them and make them go around the long way. Odd but very consistant with this.
Curious about what other peoples OCD quirks are.

You got problems.
I don't have any to share, we'll see if that makes me normal or not.
I need to know the name of that song.

The only ritual I have is that whenever I quit a job (havent in many years) I have "Freebird" queued up to play as I drive off on the last day. I have been doing that for years. I've also always done it when I have dumped girls.

It's odd to see another person with a chip quirk.
Any chips I eat have to be seperate from the other food on the plate (it's almost always chips and a ham sammidge) and I have to organize them according to size. The largest get eaten last for some reason. I have no friggin clue why I do this.

I always look under my bed, in my closet, behind the doors, down the stairs, and in another closet before going to bed.
Now, if someone was actually there, I don't know what would happen.

I can't sleep with open doors. Especially the bathroom or closet.
i try to never bleed at other peoples house, i think thats rude...
That's kinda strange dude.....it'd only be rude if you did it on purpose and bled on their furniture or food.

The toilet paper has to be put on the roller so that it unrolls over the top towards me. If it is different, I have to take it off the roller and turn it the right way before I can use it.
When I am at work (don't do this at home for some reason) my keyboard is situated in front of my moniter so the the g & h on the keyboard are aligned dead center of the moniter and I sit dead center of the moniter.
I have many more, but I don't want to seem too wierd.....

I never wear sunglasses inside any house or establishment and I will not acknowledge anyone who tries to speak to me if they are wearing sunglasses inside.

I know people have heard the phrase "don't speak unless spoken to"
It kinda irritates me I almost live by this philosophy. I won't speak to you unless I either know you well or you speak to me first. The most i'll give a stranger is the nod.

When I am in the car, I count things by two. (one, Two, One Two) Cars, Signs, Poles, Driveways ...etc. Once I start doing it (I dont know how I start) I cant stop, the whole length of the car ride. And the bad thing is it has to be even. I have to end on a 2 or I don' tfeel right. I also chew on both sides of my mouth. One bite on the left, one bite on the right and so on.
