I dont like logo'd clothing either.
I am a shirt and tie kinda guy. Otherwise just a white T shirt with no logo.
The sunglass thing is perfect. I do the SAME thing.
Glad to see I am not the only loon on here. Knew others would chime in.
Keep them coming!!

Hmm...
* When different foods touch on my plate, I don't really want to eat them anymore -- even if it is something I really enjoy. Even if it's things that taste good together -- i.e., I don't like it if my corndog touches the mustard before I pick it up, dip it and take a bite.
* I always set my bedroom clock ten minutes fast. If I want to wake up at 6, I'll set the alarm for 6:10 -- so it really is 6 when I wake up. I think it started as a strategy for being on time (back then, I'd set it for 6 and really be waking up at 5:50), but now I just have it that way and I'm not sure why.
* I'm always paranoid that I somehow didn't remember to lock the door after leaving work -- so I lock it, take the garbage out, drive away, think about it, and come back a few minutes later to check. I always push on it really hard too when I'm checking, just in case.

Hahaha! That cracked me up!
Only thing I can think of...
I set my alarm an hour early so I can hit the snooze button 6 times and feel like I'm sleeping in.

Hey Reef,
I always sing the same song in my head when I'm on the teebox in a golf tournament( tennessee waltz, got it from a Sam Snead video) It helps me focus and calm down

I won't use a nasty public bathroom (for example, Wal Mart) I will do the pee pee dance forever.
I can't go to bed with dirty dishes in the sink.
Cannot watch a Nascar race with out wearing flannel pj's with my favorite drivers logo.
Refuse to eat out of a buffet. What did someone scratch right before they reached for a slice of pepperoni with their hands?
Will never use the same toothbrush again if someone else accidentally used mine. Yuck, yuck.
Ok, I think that's enough for now.

People think I'm wierd because I always wear my watch on my right wrist. I have this odd twitch where I'll wriggle my wrist to make sure my watch is on the proper spot too, just above those protruding bones of the wrist.
I have to go overkill with any electronic off buttons. If it has just an off button, not an on/off, I'll push it atleast 3 times.

Not no way, not no how are my feet uncovered while that vulnerable.

I wear my watch on my left wrist, but the face is on my pulse point. OK, I am a basket-case.

wow! dito... the bedroom door must be closed...just bugs me when it isn't, and I get completely closterphobic when I can't get my feet out from the covers. Reminds me of how a fish looks like when you scoop them up in a net.

i ride trails on my bike and i have this weird habit that before i jump, i have to ride around the trail and touch specific spots on the berm and on the trail itself before i jump. (hope that made sense)
i hate stepping on cracks in the sidewalk or driveway or parking lot. on the sidewalk, or anything with tiles or sections, i try and only step in each tile/section once. even if i have to run or take big steps.
if i knock into something with one arm/ leg, i usually have to go back and hit it with the other. its not to the point where its a problem, but i get annoyed if i dont do it.
i still run down stairs or up stairs after i turn a light off, sorta like somethings chasing me. i hate walking in my front door at night because i always feel like the girl from the exorcist is following me from behind my moms car. lol
thats all i can think of for now. but there are more.
