What are yours?

When I'm really excited I tend to giggle alot. . .and I bite my arm. . .only my left arm. . .:confused:

I can only sleep on the right side of the bed. . .and I have a queen size.
 
I sit and twirl my hair while reading or when I am intensely thinking.

When real nervous I tend to develop a cough..
 
I'm pretty sure it's an OCD "thing" but I wear rubber bands on my wrist or ponytails...and when I'm stressed or upset I snap them.
 
Hmm..

When I tend to be in deep thought, I rub my chin.

When putting my socks on, (and I just thought of this), I always put my left sock on first. I always put my left shoe on first as well.

Not really a habit, but I purposefully set the alarm clock early so that way I can snooze for about 15 minutes before I am up and about.

For the longest time, I used to keep the cap open on the toothpaste, or dispense with the cap entirely. It drove my GF bonkers though, and proceeded to fix the problem.

None of these I guess you could consider WEIRD, just a little eccentric.

I organize my clothes in my closet (left to right). . .suits. . .dresses. . .jeans. . .slacks. . .short sleeve shirts. . .long sleeve shirts. . .sweaters.

Now that is OCD.:eek:

I have a similar one. I set two alarms, one to go off half an hour after the other. The first one I wake up and turn on the morning news, then fall back asleep. Then when the second one goes off I hit snooze.
 
i pick all the mascara off my eyelashes, scratch at scabs or bite my nails when i'm scared or nervous or upset....or at the movies.
 
I wiggle my toes. ALL. THE. TIME. Moses always asks me if they ever get sore, or tired of wiggling. Usually it's just my big toes, but if I'm happy or hyper, it's all of them.

I chew my bottom lip. Happy, sad, nervous... I chew it cus I like the pain, and I like that taste of almost-bleeding.

I watch commercials. Like, I'll rewind the tv and watch a commercial again, if I think it's worth it. I love them.
 
On a further note:

I know I shouldn't, but I crack my knuckles, and my toes.

I take a shower in the evening the night before; AND I take a shower the morning after. (I have to go to bed clean.)

If I'm walking in a park, if my shoe becomes untied, I tuck the shoelaces into my shoe instead of trying to retie my shoes. :rolleyes:

(I know.)
 
I pick the toppings off of a fresh pizza, eat the toppings then eat the pizza. If it's a cold pizza or only slightly reheated I eat it like normal.

I'm sure I have tons more just can't think of any at the moment.

LOL, I do the same, as well as order of colour for each group...all music is alphabetically stored, catalogued...working on a catalogue of the actual tracks including artists and which CD to find each one on...DVD's catalogued according to genre, thinking of alphabetising them too...books catalogued including publisher and publishing date and also in genres. Hmmmm, I need to get out more.

Catalina:catroar:
 
Books: Sorted by genre, alphabetised by author's surname.

CDs: Alphabetised by artist's surname or band name. For artists/bands with multiple albums, albums are organised in chronological order.

DVDs: Alphabetised.

My really weird habit is that I microwave my toast once I've put the Vegemite on it, because otherwise it's too cold to eat.
 
I am OCD about my house.... at all times.. My mom used to say I live in "Better homes and fucking gardens"

My stove must be sparkling clean at all times.

My other weird habits hmmmmmm I only sleep on my right side, and must sleep with the TV on.. or someone with me..

Oh yum..reminds me, my mother sent me 2 tubes of Vegemite last week. Lucky they made it intact as she put them in a post bag, no box..could have been messy.:eek:

In a post bag? Um... you might want to suggest to her that she pack them just a lil more securely next time! Although I bet that the customs people would have had an interesting time trying to identify the mysterious black substance smeared everywhere if they had burst...

Do you also organize them by color, collar and sleeve length?

I organize mine by tank tops--light to dark colors then prints.

short sleeve tops--no collar in order from light color to dark then prints...then I organize short sleeve tops WITH collars by order of light to dark colors then prints...and so on and so forth with 3/4 sleeve tops, then long sleeve tops.

skirts next...then shorts...followed by....

slacks--they are in order by capri length...again--light to dark colors then prints...then straight leg slacks, flared legged slacks then jeans.

After slacks come the dresses...sleeveless, short sleeve, 3/4 sleeve and long sleeve....and each sleeve size is in order of color from light to dark then printed dresses.

Next is the pant suits and skirt suits...again...same color order...

now...lets talk about shoes....each pair is in its own see-through box summer shoes on one side of the closet, winter shoes on other side.

all sandles and open toed FLAT shoes first from light colors to the darker summery colors...then in order by heel size and then color....

Wanna talk about OCD here? LOL when it comes to my closet, I have it baaaaad :p

A buddy once brought some of that demonic axle grease back from his trip to Australia. Brought it in to work with a pack of saltine crackers.

I smeared some on a cracker, took a bite.. Do you have any idea how long it took me to get that taste out of my mouth??? Ick! WTF is that stuff?

It's "yeast extract" but damn, I didn't know that yeast could make poopoo.
 
I don't know about weird, but I compulsively scratch when I'm bored or tense. I've literally scratched holes in my arms.
 
Oh gawd, so many:

When walking with someone, I HAVE to be on the right side. Don't ask why.

I pluck my eyebrows with my finger when I'm reading/writting and my brain is working hard to process stuff. I often end up with patch of eyebrows missing. Very sexy.

You touch my bellybutton and I kill you.

I only sleep on the right side of my bed, whether or not there's someone in the bed with me.

I have three alarms to wake up in the morning, plus my sis who calls me to wake me up.

When I'm alone in the house and watching tv, I pluck my pussy hair with an eyebrows plucker (is that how you call that thing?).

If I'm eating with someone, I HAVE to have a bite from their plate, even if I have the same stuff in mine. Used to drive my sis crazy when we were living with my parents.

And I'm not even getting into the OCD stuff.
 
When I'm nervous in a social situation I just constantly reach up and touch my nose.

I bite my nails to the quick whenever I go to the movies.

I pull out my leg hair with an eyebrow plucker.
 
Malin..Master!! Help me with the list.. you two know me so well..

Yes.. I have OCD about many things. Some of them, Master is trying to help me with.. others, I fear are beyond help

Clothes must go in a certain order in the closet and all the hangers have to face the same way.
It's to the point that Malin cannot fold laundry if I'm around because to me, he's doing it "wrong" and I dont want to hurt him by letting him see how much it bugs me.

DVD's go in alphabetical order, by genre, same with CD's

When listening to music, I tap out the words with my fingers, and if the song doesnt end on the second or fourth, I start the song over to find out what I missed.

When I eat, I eat one thing on my plate at a time. (*grumble* except when I'm with Master, then I'm not allowed and bunnies all over the world die)

At work, the magnets on my desk have to be lined up by color, in order of the rainbow, and yes, I use a ruler to line them up.

I sleep on my right side with my arm extended. This, I believe, is left over from when I was a kid, I'd hold out my hand and my mom would hold it while I slept.

I dont walk on grates in the sidewalk, but around them.

I have certain programs I have to keep open at work. They must be opened in the same order on the taskbar and if one closes, I have to reopen them all and get them back in order (well I did until someone found an add in that lets me drag them into the right order)

I make lists for everything, I even make lists about lists.

I cant stand having my face licked... cant even look at pictures of people getting their faces licked.. makes me crazy

Oh..another related to eating, I dont drink during my meal, unless it's very very spicy. I drink before or after.

I think that's about it.. not sure.. I'm sure Malin and/or Master will fill in any I've missed
