I use to obsessively check if the door was locked because my Great Grandmother did it and I sponged on her behavior. Now that she's gone I don't get the urge to do it at all.

I use to obsessively check if the door was locked because my Great Grandmother did it and I sponged on her behavior. Now that she's gone I don't get the urge to do it at all.
Symmetrical physical sensations. Like if I step on the edge of a stair, I have to step on the edge in a similar fashion with my other foot or I am bothered.
I have a similar thing to MILF, except it's dragging my finger from left to right across the desk, then back to left. I do the same pattern, L R R L, or vice versa. I don't have to do it nearly as much apparently.
I also have certain patterns and methods I go through as I work on cars.
I should get you to do all my repairs then. :pQuote:

Yes. And books are alphabetized first by author, and then by title (excluding "the") for multiple books by one author.Quote:

chronologically please
because here's harry potter organized alphabetically (american titles): chamber of secrets, deathly hallows, goblet of fire, half-blood prince, order of the phoenix, prisoner of azkaban, sorcerer's stone
that would be one whack-ass series
i do chronological ordering for music too
Well, DUH. Of course you arrange book SERIES in the order they came out.Quote:

okay good you're not 100% inSANE then
also one other thing i just noticed about myself: when i'm at home and scooping sugar into my coffee i always have to scoop exactly twice. this forces me to alter the amount of sugar per spoonful when i only have a partially-full cup of coffee and it takes a lot of effort to get exactly right
also when i'm out and getting coffee from starbucks or whatever i take the sugary poury thingy and make seven circles around the outside of the coffee while pouring to get the exact correct amount every time
why isn't that number even oh god what have i done
I'm going to come to this thread anytime I feel weird.
Oh yeah, I have to do this too!Quote:
