Strange little quirks that you do but have no plausible reason why

Little quirks make us all different and unique, nothing wrong with them , so embrace them. Bit of fun so whats yours?

For instance I can only eat a packet of crisps that have been opened at the top of the bag not the bottom. I have no idea why.

I have to stop the petrol pump on an even .00

If it goes 1 cent over, it usually means I put another fiver in.

Silly really. Especially when I pay by card

When lying in bed, I try to draw shapes like Pentagons and hexagons in my minds eye. They never end up symmetrical.

These are all so different and very interesting. There is something very satisfying about the quirks too. Relaxing almost.

I count EVERYTHING. Its so ingrained now I'm barely aware of it.

When I'm putting clothes on the line, each item has to have pegs of the same colour. Ideally that colour will match the item I'm hanging up.

I can't use a knife and fork that don't match.

I have to stack the dishes perfectly before I can do the washing up.

I've taken a comforter to bed every single night of my life (unexpected nights away excepted) for 50 years. For the first 30 years of my life it was the honeycomb blanket I was brought home from hospital in when I was born

Car temperature must be an odd number and a half, so 17.5, 19.5, 21.5 or 23.5 deg C.

Check under my pillow for spiders before climbing into bed each night, have done for 30 years, yet to find a spider.

I can't go up a flight of stairs like a normal person, I have to take 2 steps with my left leg one step with my right. I'm also left handed but can only use a scissors and text with my right hand. Not sure if these are considered quirks but they're obvious enough traits that people have passed comments

See I don't see any of these things as not normal or abnormal, and not particularly OCD. OCD can be awful for people.

I think we all just have little quirks and habits that we have always done or have picked up. Sure isn't it great to say them and realise you know what, so many are the same.

I recently (when allowed to still but socks) bought a set ,nice bright colours, distinctive in the sock drawer. What I didn't realise is they had the days of the week written on the bottom. So if its a day that isn't corresponding to that if the socks I can't wear them. I mean I can. I just won't.

Hahah Just kidding. It's actually very Intresting to read all these OCDs my best friend has many. I used to also but some faded away. I am still so particular about being set up for a show or movie, everything must be right. Food/drink, tea, audio, light. I feel for those around me

I also as a kid used to think if I went through say, a gap in a tree, that if I didn't go back through that I was in a differnt version of my world.

The dishwasher must be filled in a certain way to maximize the amount you can get into it.

Congratulations to both of you for the shopping list

A few weeks ago I had to do a lidl shop for a family in quarantine

No note,just a text message with items in order

The instructions said if I missed an item it was my mistake missing it in the aisle and not to skip anything

I filled a trolly using the text and got everything for them

I made a template shopping list in Excel of all items we buy and in the order they are laid out in the shop. Each item had a box beside it to write in number of items needed. Thought I was great until Aldi rearranged the shop.

Haha DH I was going to mention the dishwasher. I nag my kids to do it, then I rearrange it my way!

Folding laundry also gets the OCD treatment. Towels have to be cornered up exactly and triple folded.

All of those only apply at home but I can't be in a room with a crooked mat, I have to straighten it, no matter where I am.

I leave the foil on the butter tub. I dont know why.

Some people liked to claim it's a sign of psychopathy but I dont agree. I've shut them up

"When writting a shopping grocery list it must be writen in the order the food is placed in the aisle aswell as aisle by aisle if i was given a random shopping list and asked to go in and get it by the time i had it done my mind would hurt

I made a template shopping list in Excel of all items we buy and in the order they are laid out in the shop. Each item had a box beside it to write in number of items needed. Thought I was great until Aldi rearranged the shop."

I hear they rearrange food places on the aisles just to keep us on our toes

I don't walk on the floor without wearing socks or slippers, it's a pet hate of mine. I just don't like my feet being dirty or walking on something don't know what it is, it's been like that for years.

My route to work I pass over a bridge and can see the sea, (actually I come down off hill and can see it ages before that) if I don't get a chance to turn my head to the right and get a good look, then I know I'm having a bad day. So if traffic is too busy and it's dangerous or the weather is shit and I can't see it, I have to centre myself with that bit of the sea.

"I cannot sleep at night unless i count the number of hours sleep im going to get,its easier now that your phone tells you how much sleep you will get before your alarm goes off.

The dishwasher must be filled in a certain way to maximize the amount you can get into it.

When writting a shopping grocery list it must be writen in the order the food is placed in the aisle aswell as aisle by aisle if i was given a random shopping list and asked to go in and get it by the time i had it done my mind would hurt

Snap with the shopping list and the sleep... I love to know I'll get 8 hours..

7 and a half hours to 8 hours sleep and im all good for the next day anything less than 7 and im saying tp myself why didnt i get into bed sooner

I had to do shopping lately for a family that were self isolating the first shop my head was fried the following week after they sent me their list i had yo sit down and rewrite it before heading off "

I would do the same with the list

Before I go out binge drinking I always eat half a pound of butter.

It doesn't actually do anything ...

I just make poor life choices.

What worries me most about this is that you’re clearly not using real butter. Real butter isnt in a tub...

Thank God...I do this too...but worse.. when I get the answer I continue to add it again and again...its mentally draining!

Always have to have the volume of the radio in the car on an even number...

Get LED touch sensor switches. They are flush. Cured this problem and recommended to 2 friends with OCD who flick the switches a number of times when they are the wrong order

In warm weather I avoid the dryer and when I hang my clothes outside all of them must face the house.

When I wash dishes I must stack all dishes from largest to smallest.

If I don't have time/can't be arsed clean a room fully and properly - I don't clean it at all. Never do I ever just scoop up random stuff and throw it somewhere else.

I never complain at restaurants unless I find actual hair or live worms in my food or simply don't get acknowledged for over 30minutes (all of the above happened several times).

I don't give people second chances. Used to do it but learned the hard way not to.

Missus

"Crikey yous are all fecking weirdos! Anyhow there is only one right way (mine) to pack the dishwasher.

Haha DH I was going to mention the dishwasher. I nag my kids to do it, then I rearrange it my way!

Folding laundry also gets the OCD treatment. Towels have to be cornered up exactly and triple folded.

All of those only apply at home but I can't be in a room with a crooked mat, I have to straighten it, no matter where I am. "

I'm the same with all these, add in can't sit in a room with a picture hanging crooked on a wall.

Suffering from OCD nearly drove me to kill myself;

Fortunately , I could never write a suicide note I was entirely happy with.

Hate leads or cables twisted, need to be neat and tidy.

Shoes and socks off as soon as I get home.

Store glasses and cups facing down I'm the cupboard.

Hate anything left lying around on kitchen counter.

"I have to stop the petrol pump on an even .00

If it goes 1 cent over, it usually means I put another fiver in.

Silly really. Especially when I pay by card "

I do this too... Omg and I thought I was the only one...

Also when sewing...yes I sew... Hand-Stitch... I have to tie 7 knots when done... Is it OCD... Also in my cuboards everything has to have the front of jars, cans, packets facing out... That's my quirks
