I have every shirt on the hangers pointing the same way.
Shoes, left right,, not the other way around.
If I don't need anything, it goes in the bin or charity shop, end of.
When I start doing gardening, it's a full on job. No weed or twig is safe from me when I'm in a going mood.
I looked after the snails though, I must have rescued at least 100 today so that's me in Kenny mann's good books anyway at least.

Right Slippy I'll confess to this..
For as long as I can remember I've counted syllables on my fingers. Quite often when either I'm thinking, or someone's talking I tap out the syllables. I'm especially pleased if they add up to an even number 10 or 20. It's never bothered me much but I reckon I do it at least every day. |

When I play cricket I count the people on the pitch constantly. It should be 15, I reckon I do this at least once for every ball bowled. It is absolute brain damage, wish I could stop.

 Guinness, you are a terrible man.I have to have my fingernails very short and my brogues shiny clean at all times. |

By:
collywobble i do exactly the same.If someone says something on the tv i will count the syllables out on my fingers and am happy when it ends on my thumb or little finger!!!!

By:
How can you hook wiv brogues on?
|
|
By:
I sometimes do that colly. I often type phrases and stuff out with my hands too, like if I see a sign or a phrase I type it using proper touch typing technique, not actually moving my fingers but I am in my head.
I think this thread might become my ultimate chitchat downfall, I'm going out before I do irrepairable damage. |

Thank God I'm not alone! |

Imagining your eyes are firing tennis balls and aiming them at walls/ceilings such that the balls will escape by smashing through a window.

I used to iron all my bank notes if I was going out,I don't know why I did it but just stopped. A friend of mine does it and he irons them into a small square.

And Rob when I played cricket and was batting I had the same ritual before every ball. I wont bore you with the details.

By:
Guinness, I could hook with brogues, sandals or flip fops, it made no difference. Nobody every got a hook against my feed.

A few years ago I always used to switch the tv channels over by feeling for the buttons on the zapper without looking at the numbers.
I got pretty expert at it and thought to myself "This is handy if I ever go blind". It only dawned on me a while later that if I went blind I wouldn't be able to see what was on! I gave it up after that. |

Mrs C would never admit it but I've noticed when she is eating with a knife and fork there is the slightest double shimmy of the cutlery each time it goes to the plate.

I got on the bench for England Under 21's. I was always torn though as I wanted to play for Ireland to make my Dad proud of me.
When Ireland played England I never knew who to cheer on, still don't. |

Crikey I thought I was weird doing the syllable thing!
It's especially satisfying watching something like the news when a newsreader is telling a story which ends with a nice even number of syllables.  |

I did have an awful time a few years ago which involved a shower routine. I had to get in and wash certain parts of my body. If i got them in the wrong order I had to get out, dry myself and start all over.
It reached saturation point when I turned up for work an hour and a half late. |

By:
You're all mad, I've long since thought that.
Gamblers are a bit mad by definition. |

By:
Another one involving gambling. If I have a bet on course or in a bookies it has to be in a multiple of £25. I cant remember the last bet I placed that wasn't a multiple of 25.

I think the more p1ssed I get the more this OCD stuff goes out the window and I do not do it. Perhpas that is why I am such a p1sspot, it really can hurt your brain sometimes.
Regards Tommy and his remote, I can use mine braille like. I do also count the buttons braille like regularly, 57 on my current remote, but will probably check again a hundred or more times in the next week. |

when I check results (because I never watch the end of a race live), I put a postcard over the results and then I uncover one line at a time.... If I do it very carefully I can see if there are any g, y, p etc and see if that matches up with the horse's names.
Sometimes to really mix it up, I uncover the horse's name from the end first to see if the last letter ends with the same letter as my bet... perfectly rational behaviour |
