do you have any weird or strange habits/OCDs?

I have a phobia off even numbers and the number 13
I keep counting everything to make sure it adds up. It can get a bit annoying, but I'm used to it and can do it subconsciously in a split second now
Like if I'm reading a book and I see certain words, I have to count the number of letters in the word, or lines in a paragraph. And if the number of words with even amounts of letters in outnumbers the odds in one sentence, I have to find another sentence where the odds beat the evens
And the number 13 doesn't count either way, as an odd or an even
Also, if I think about doing something, like turn a piece of paper round to face the other way for no apparent reason, I HAVE to do it.
Just strange things like that really. I am a bit of an obsessive compulsive and my brain works overtime, but I do have a very high IQ, so think it's just trying to exercise itself

pillows should always face open ends toward the centre of the bed
cant abide fingersprints on my phone screen
house needs to be tidy (altho having flatmates soon makes this impossible)
cant have anything rattling in the car, my box of spare fuses has foam sheet in it

Erm....
Can't leave taps running, if I go out in town and go to the loo and there's a running tap I HAVE to turn it off. Can't walk way.
Volume on car stereo needs to be on even number at all times.
If I wonder what a surface or texture feels like I have to touch it in a variety of different ways with my fingers until I am happy I've satisfied my curiosity.
Car windows need to be open equally on both passenger side and driver's side.
Hair has to be styled precisely right if I am going out, can't have anything out of place.
Shirt has to be level all the way round when tucked in.
Whenever I eat a meal that includes chips, always have to eat the chips first. If eating KFC always order the same thing and eat it all int he same order....
God, I am a weirdo!

I check the time on my phone every 2 mins.. must have volume on an even number
If walking anywhere or riding.. I must put Jimi Hendrix - Voodoo Child on before any other song..
When in a car I must always have my left arm resting on the door with my hand holding the door handle..
Same as above I eat all the chips before anything else gets touched..
When I was like 8 or whatever making something out of lego it always had to be symmetrical even down the the colour of the bricks on either side

I have a few which is rather disturbing now i think of them....
1_ Volume even numbers - (only cos my mate bought my attention to it)
2_ I when walking up stairs always even steps too get caught on an odd one at the top make a leap for the landing.
3_ If there is a quarter of a pint of milk of less left i cannot use it, i will open a fresh one.
4_ I cannot drink out of a furry cup... must be washed by my own hands 1st.
5_ Three man hole covers, i have to skip the 1st or last one/ kinda of intersting to watch im told.
Finally, when entering, leaving and participating in a public toilet, i have to enter with a tissue to open/pull the handle, turn the light on with a tissue flush with said tissue and open the door on my exit with a clean tissue.
You never know what dirty basterds ben in there b4

I often find myself waking up in the morning repeating a telephone number over and over and over and over and over and over inside my head.
I can hardly think of a moment that my mind hasn't been racing (going quickly - not zooming round a track...) in 10 years or more.
I play conversations over in my head before having them, or even ones that I probably will never have continously. I sit watching a movie wondering when it will finish. I really cant think of a moment that I have not had my mind RACING flat out forever. (except on the way back from the ring in Amdam - so caned I didnt know which way was up )
I often talk myself to sleep... (so thats not just the people around me.. even myself)
lol - were all mad.
I also get weird urges to stab people with pens when I'm in meetings with them. Especially in the eye. That along with the great interest in how the moment would change if I was to steer right (ie into the oncoming lane of traffic) - often playing the imagined moment over and over in my head.
So far I have resisted.
I also listen to the same music every day lol.
Sigor Ros - njosnavelin
My GF is sure I have a little bit of Asperger syndrome. Its one of several autism spectrum disorders (ASD) characterized by difficulties in social interaction and by restricted and stereotyped interests and activities.
lol - anyway - theres some shite for u to read
