Share your addictions and minor things you just HAVE to do

I keep several water bottles in the freezer at ~30° slant so that I can fill it with from the tap (well water) when I'm ready.

Nice idea!

I Veet weekly. (got tired of the razor burns)

.

I'm not familiar with that. Sounds a bit Austrian!

"Ja, Ich Veet..bend zee neez!"

Well, I *KNEW* there was a reason I felt at home here, lol...
If I start listing all my OCD habits, I'd be typing the rest of the night. Here's the biggest ones I can think of right off the bat:

--I *always* say Wednesday, in my head, as Wed-Nes-Day.
--The ONLY way I can stop myself from sitting and shaking my leg or foot is to do nothing but sit and think "don't move your leg, don't move your leg..."
--Most of the food on my plate can't touch the other food or it's ruined. And, I usually eat one food completely, then another, I don't take a bite of one thing, then something else.
--I *always* smell my food before I eat it--doesn't matter if it's bread, candy, meatloaf, whatever, I'll smell it. I've gotten so good at it that nobody even knows.
--I count things; this is truly an OCD habit. If I'm stirring coffee, I count how many times I stir; if I'm walking somewhere, I count the number of steps I take. This made it very difficult when I started taking music lessons a couple of years ago, as I want to count each beat, rather than measures---instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3, 4 to keep the beat, I would count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...it's also kinda hard to SING while you're counting the beats, lol.
--I check my email, and my phone about once every 3 or 4 minutes. Even when I KNOW there's nothing new on my phone, every few minutes, I have to "awaken" it and look at the screen to verify there's nothing new on it.
--I sort anything colored, especially if I'm eating it--like M&Ms. I also have to "organize" things, whether it's candy like M&Ms, or paper clips, if they are sitting in front of me, I will start making some sort of pattern out of that.
--The bottom edge of my utensils must all line up exactly on the table.
--Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, will ever, ever be allowed to share my deodorant. My sister thinks this is very weird.
--Addictions: Diet Dr. Pepper, Sonic cherry limeades (I must have at least two a week or I will die...), NCIS, Facebook--yes, I admit it, and TCP.

Plenty more weirdness where that came from, but I'm kinda creeping MYself out, thinking about them all!

 

[o hey tyler]

I smoke marijuana on a regular basis.

My favorite drink is Bourbon, Maple Syrup, and Lemonade.

I am left handed, but right eye dominant. This is tricky when shooting handguns.

I listen to 98% instrumental music.

 

[sm4him]

I'm sanitize my hands like crazy! Every time I touch money, gas pump, grocery basket, menu, shake someones hand..

I'm can't stand clutter and often throw away things that I need later (husband hates this)

I have ocular migraines that suck a$$!!!!

I love zebra print, BIG hair, twilight saga, clean sheets, sour candy, zebra cakes with milk and my favorite smell would have to be my baby after his bath when he is all lotioned up

I feel your pain, literally, on the ocular migraines!! I get pretty much every kind of migraine there is--I never knew there WERE so many kinds of migraines, until I started getting them ALL!

It's a depilatory product.

Round 2:

- I bite the inside of my chin, like in really twisting my mouth to get to those hard-to-reach-deep places
- I always smell my coffee before I drink it.. If the situation allows it, I always try to let out a little groan after the first sip
- if it's cold, and I need my blanket in addition to my quilt, the blanket always goes under the quilt
- I talk to myself if I'm alone and no one can hear me.. if I need to think about something that bothers me, I can talk to myself about it. getting ready for a presentation, I can take a walk in the dark and do it for myself...
- when trying to sleep, I, on at least one point before falling sleep, I count every two seconds on my (loud) clock until I lose count (around 30-50)
- I try to lie completely still as to make my body fall asleep and keep my head awake. It's a technique for lucid dreaming - something I have yet to accomplish!!!!!!

There is room in my In-Box!

 

[paul85224]

I like turtles.
I like prime numbers and whenever setting volume on the tv try to keep it at one.
Things around me need to be in their correct place according to my sense of Feng shui.
I count how many retards I have to pass to get home every day.
I can't stand dirty eyeglasses.

Oh, MissCream, I add cheese to my mac'n'cheese

I sure hope I am not one of them!!!!!

 

[e.rose]

Sonic cherry limeades (I must have at least two a week or I will die...),

I'm right handed... right eye dominant... but I photograph with my left eye.

Is that weird?

- I bite the inside of my chin, like in really twisting my mouth to get to those hard-to-reach-deep places

Oooooh.. yep. Me too.

That's actually coupled with the "swallowing air" thing that I do.

I have scars on the inside of both cheeks from biting so much. :shock:

I talk to myself if I'm alone and no one can hear me..

I talk to myself AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLL the time, when I'm alone.

Sometimes people hear me.

Keith will come in sometimes and go "Who the hell are you talking to?!" Like just then... I just did it. I literally said "Who the hell are you talking to" out loud.

Which brings me to my next point... when I'm typing stuff out, sometimes I repeat what it is that I'm typing... or *reading* for that matter... especially if I think it's funny.

Chances are if you see me posting... I've talked out loud regarding the posts I'm responding to and/or what I'm writing at least 9 out of the 10 times.

I also get really bad anxiety. Most of the time for no reason. It's really a pain in the ass.

A lot of people don't realize I have it as bad as I do though, because I'm really good at hiding it in public... however that makes it worse for Keith to deal with later, haha.
