I've always thought that gamblers were a little bit unhinged
 This fred proves it. |

By:
the only ones thats unhinged slippy are those that skip across 3 drains and DONT turn around and touch the ground,thus exposing themselves to the mighty wrath of fate

JC - you're right OCD is probably not the right description for most of this. Mine was certainly a strange quirk that became a bit habit forming. More strange than OCD I suppose.

Every night and i mean every night of the year i sleep with the fan on facing me on level 2. Even in the winter, i can not sleep without it on to the point were i feel as though i can`t breath without it.

Scrabble
All the tiles have been neat and in line otherwise i have to get drunk. |

AG, I've just played scrabble with my nieces, I'm exactly the same, every tile has to be in prim and proper order. I got busted by the elder one earlier who hit 'extra' on a triple word at the death to win the loot. I was gutted to put it mildly. |

It`s the same with chess Slippy, every piece has to be facing the correct way, in the centre of it`s square but the problem is that when people know you have this perfectionist trait then they can have some fun at your expense. I always have to play these games with a few spare bottles of wine as a back up in case the itch in the middle of my brain becomes too much.

Also the chess pieces that i have won have to be lined up in a certain way, it can drive you crazy.

Recently split up with my partner due to my OCD issues. I remember vividly the day she walked out, in a right temper she was. Just as she was about to pull the front door behind her, I called out, "Slam the door 4 times on your way out, ffs"

as a few have said on here, if you don't have quasi ocd when you start gambling, you do after a while.
Mine are quite mild. Check keys multiple times in a row. And superstitions - can't watch horses break out of the gates ever. ok once they have gone 100 yards. |

I do salute single magpies.
My grandmother would never have a picture or figurine of a bird in the house. A picture in profile was particularly bad luck, apparently. |

No question in my mind, I'd have to go for the extra penny

Wow. I do exactly the same as collywobbles and Why so serious, apart from the fact I count letters on my fingers instead of syllables. I have done it years and have no idea why. I like to start counting at my thumb, then when I think i'm about half way, I start counting backwards until I finish back at my thumb. If I get it wrong I repeat the process again until I get it right.
I thought I was the only person who did this, friends have asked me why my fingers are moving, and an explanation doesn't really satisfy them. |

By:
When I look through a window, anything moving in the sky has to exit the "frame" at the exact corner. Obviously you have to slowly move your head for this to happen, but thankfully it doesn't have to be a particular corner because I even feel compelled to do this when I'm driving.
Anyone need a lift? |

That is a bit freaky Stevie
I don't do this anymore as I finally shook free but when I used to bang my arm, leg or stub my toe for example I had to bang the other one as well to even out my equilibrium. It's mad I know but I did it for years! I don't think I've ever told anyone that. |

I do the race results thing on the computer, ffs, weirdo.
Best was in teletext days when you could do the dog results via the fc. If you were on the fav, you hoped for a low fc , say 6.00, and worked your way right to left hoping the 2nd in hadn't beaten you...amazing tension. Used to lock the front door, unlock it, go back to check cooker switch was off, windows were shut, go back to front door, go bacxk to kitchen, front door, lock door, try handle about 12 times to ensure locked. Took about 5 mins every day for many many years |

I have walked round a lake near me on a regular basis for the last 14 years, but will only ever go clockwise. Don't really know why. Tried it the other way once and hated it.
Will only eat from a dinner lap tray if the picture is the right way round. If it is upside down I have to turn it before I start. |

what trap?
|

By:
I'm going to have to admit to the teletext one too, I still do it now when I haven't watched the race. But I use the remote control to block the tv screen, then gradually raise it so that I can see the bottom of the page. The tote price gives me an indication as to whether I have a chance of winning, then I move the remote up and look at the results from third to first. It's more exciting than watching the race. Sad, mad, but true!

Ha, i thought i was the only that did that..
I used to do it with the next days newspaper before i went in to school. To see if my 3x doubles and a treble (or a canadian if flush) had gone in.. |

I was thinking about this while reading other posts and I thought I was OCD free, but I remembered something that I did - though I can't remember doing this recently. I used to hear a few words or a whole sentence, whether in conversation or on tv etc I would then add the amount of letters in my head. Then for eg if the total came to 23 letters I would pretend to 'write' 23 with my left shoulder and with my right shoulder I would 'write' 7 - because they all had to total an even number like 20, 30 etc, 24 wouldn't do apparently lol. Fk me now I have typed that out I think I might be a bit nuts.
 Cheers IS! Been doing this again occasionally lol. Only seems to come up when pretty stressed though. |

Is it possible as you get older you do more quirky stuff too? This would not have bothered me when I was younger, but now I cannot allow a picture on my wall to be crooked. I can try to ignore it, but the impulse is too strong to correct it. I even did this at my friends house the other week lol A bit embarrassing really
