We have a car park at the back of my apartment which is technically for residents only. As long as I have a space, I couldn't care less who else parks in it, but recently I've started counting how many cars are parked there before I drive off in the morning. It takes a small effort of will to not do it. Maybe I could develop ocd or something.

I also habitually check my fly and just had an incident the other week that is gonna make me do it even if I haven’t used the bathroom recently.

Was talking with some coworkers when one of them gave me the silent “check your fly dude” signal. Looked down and there was AN ENTIRE POTATO CHIP hanging from a thread on the fly of my pants. It had been at least 45 minutes since I’d eaten. I had been all over my job site talking to at least a dozen people with this loving thing dangling there. I wish it had just been my fly.

i occasionally check my fly to make sure its zipped when i have no reason to expect it isnt and it's entirely because it was an intrusive though from reading about the scientist who did it in Contact. i'll go months or years at a time forgetting about it/to do it then it comes back. it just did come back again because of this thread. it's my version of losing The Game

When I was in the first grade, I went to the bathroom in class, and tucked my dress into my tights. I was not informed of until I got back to my class, and everyone laughed, even the teacher. I stopped wearing dresses and skirts until I was 11-12, though now it’s nearly all I wear. Especially miniskirts and minidresses, if it’s below the knee, it ain’t for me.

However, I am always paranoid that I’ve tucked in my clothing into my tights. I will constantly fiddle with the hem. “Maybe just don’t wear miniskirts” gently caress you I will manifest my childhood trauma into constantly tugging at my clothing. I will never stop tugging.

Oh wait poo poo , got a good one

I tie my shoes/bows in a very specific double slipknot thing I've not seen it anywhere else

No one taught me how to tie my shoes, I dissected a knot someone did for me and worked out a knot that resembled a bow and was repeatable

I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.
I lace my boots up and then do a quick pretzel on the front, wrap the laces around the circumference of the boot and then tie a square knot in the front, tucking the ends of the laces into the top of the boot so there's no dangles

If I get a burger from In-N-Out I'll eat the tomatoes, then the lettuce, then the rest of it

When I eat goldfish crackers I don't chew them starting out, I suck on them to get the flavor out and as I kid I would swallow them whole, now I break them up before they go down

I unplug a lot of electrical devices when leaving my house. For fire hazard reasons.

Yep. I’m a “checker” in that I make sure lights are off, electronics are off, stove is off, and anything that doesn’t need to be plugged in is unplugged before going anywhere.

Also, volume and settings on TVs and stereos always on even numbers, never odds.

Semi related. A 4 for 4 at Wendy’s or equivalent meal; fries, nuggets burger, drink. Myself and most people I’ve known just kind of work through all of those items chaotically. Some fries here, bite of burger, a nugget, back to fries, sip drink. You get the idea.

However, I’ve had exactly one roommate who ate that meal linearly, every time. First all the fries. Then all the nuggets. Then the burger. Finish with the drink. It’s not my habit but it’s an odd one that I’ve only seen in one guy.

Oh no am I that guy? I used to do that a lot growing up. If we had a meal with sides it’d be potatoes, then the chicken, then the other veggies. I think the order changed on whatever I thought was the best to the worst. I’m pretty sure I still do that to some extent

I massage the spot behind my balls after pissing. It gets those drops that would end up in your undies otherwise gone. This + TP dab is the proper way to piss.

I'll run the tap and fill my glass over and over until it gets cold as hell.

I slam the little cart for your wet clothes in the washing room on the floor before putting my clothes in it. Had bedbugs once, never again!

Yeah that little spot is pretty much required at a urinal. Way quicker to go right to the source rather than trying to shake or squeeze.

This woke up a memory: as a very little kid I didn't have a lot of toys I really liked, but the top six or so I would play with "evenly" so they wouldn't feel left out. A sad toy might break, then I wouldn't have it anymore. OCD or poverty anxiety, who's to say?

I used to do that until I developed the habit of forcing myself to focus, check the handle, and then say out loud "the door is locked".
Then walk away. The key is the focusing part, because if you don't focus, you may later ask yourself "Did I lock the door?"

Good luck.

Committed to burn twice as long and half as bright
If there's a glass with some sort of logo or other marking printed on the side, I only drink out of it if the logo is directly facing me. Like, if it's a pint glass with a company's logo on it, I never drink out of the glass with the logo rotated off to the side even a little bit. I don't know when that started but, about a decade ago, I noticed that I do that automatically every time.
