Weird Rules You Follow

[Evastio]

Are there any weird rules that you live by that you made up yourself and no one really enforces? (Eg: Never drinking anything except water after brushing your teeth, never letting certain foods touch when you're eating, resisting the urge to step on really green grass, always eating fish sticks in one bite, etc)

Personally, I avoid stepping on untouched snow for some reason. That's all I can think of right now.

never upset any girl for any reason

never ride under the speed limit

punch hugh jackson every time you see him

I absolutely will not eat the same flavor/color twice in a row when eating candy.

[Momiji]

I will always save my favorite of something for last.

I'll also check my car doors 2 or 3 times after locking them to make sure they're locked.

I know, I'm weird.

Toilet paper/paper towels go over not under. Yes I'm anal retentive like that.

Also when it snows or rains, I CAN'T let the bottoms of my pants get wet. I either have to tuck them in to my boots or roll them up. (I wear really baggy pants)

That's all I can think of for now but I'm very anal retentive and have lots of rules that only I follow.

When I was younger my peers and I came up with this game where the rule was that you couldn't step on certain color tiles. If we did, we died. We were morbid children.

I do that with my apartment door as well as my stove. I always make sure the burners and oven is off when I leave (we have natural gas stove).

No no, I mean I'll literally walk back to my car after walking halfway across the parking lot JUST to make sure I locked my car. It's pretty annoying actually.

I like to avoid stepping on cracks on sidewalks and bite food into thirds.

Justin, is what you do a compulsion or just lack of self confidence? The latter can easily be avoided by just saying to yourself 'you know, this is ridiculous, I can't continue like this. Even if my car isn't locked, I'm just going to pretend it is and just go on with life. It will not be the end of the world. No one wants my car when there are better ones out there also unlocked probably. Or how would they even know?'

If it's a compulsion, I suggest psychiatric help xD But in second grade I had the confidence problem, even though I KNEW the teacher had told me I could go to the bathroom, I still doubled back to ask and make sure because I just could not be positive. This happened about as often as you described and was similarly irritating.

Then I started to assert myself and didn't need to anymore.

If I'm at home while the football is on my kitty has to watch it with me for luck, even if he doesn't want to. Which he usually doesn't... So i have to hold him or whatevers.

I'm more concerned for what I leave in the car than the car itself. If I'm not 100% sure it's locked, I'll feel anxious until the school day is over.

If I'm eating Beef Stew or Speghetti and Meatballs or anything with meat and something else. I always eat the something else before going after the meat. Samething with Lucky Charms, I save the marshmellows until I'm done with the other part.

I save my games at least 2-3 times before I finally cut of the system. It's not so bad if I'm going to continue unless a boss or something is coming up.

Speaking of saving habits, if there's a game where you can save where ever you want, I have to save in an Inn-type facility. It bugs my friends when I'm playing Pokemon and I want put it down until I save in the Pokecenter.

I pray in the direction of Mecca five times a day.
