Got one? just curious. Mine is that everything has to be level, squared in line. Can't have a magazine on the coffee table not lined up with the edges, rugs on the floor have to line up with the walls, cutting board has to match in line with the tiles on the counter etc..
I mentioned this earlier at sole point, but mine is that any time I see a group of numbers, I have to make the group equate to three. Example: 7395026 - 7+3=10-9=1+5=6/2=3 and 6-3=3
I got it bad!!! It comes out in the music I write and produce....I try to make every line have the exact same number of syllables to match a melody.....every beat/note right in its place. A famous producer friend of mine helped me with that one though....he told me there's no such thing as a perfect record...you'll always hear something you wish to change later if you're any good.....so stop trying to make it perfect and just make it feel good!!! I try, but it still has to fit right! I can't stand dirty dishes. If I came to your house for a dinner or B-B-Q and any dishes were piling up...I'd just start washing. It makes me a hit at friend's functions though!!! I normally won't touch a bite of food, until it's all neatly cut up and ready to eat. Anything I start...I have to finish....and collections have to be completed to ever leave my mind right....bad thing is...I always have to be collecting something. Collecting trading cards was how I got turned onto this site by AFL Chargers. My signed charger cards collection is one of my prized possessions. I collect movies, (easily have over a thousand films here) books, (they're too expensive to collect the valuable ones though...first editions and all so I kinda let that one go...thinking about a kindle to start back up though) coins, and kitchen knives! (I try to suppress that one though cause I love knives (got way too many) and swords, but they're way too expensive to collect.....though I'm gonna get that Shun Ken Onion 8" chef somehow! http://www.cheftools.com/Shun-Ken-Onion-Chef-Knife-8-Inch/productinfo/12-0975-500/) I won't eat fruity candies (mike & ike, skittles, etc) all at one time. I eat the flavors separately. Often I take them out of the box and separate them before eating! I'm a very disciplined dude which works out great in most ways for me in my life, but it's probably just an undiagnosed sickness!
I'm borderline Howie Mandell. I have a hard time eating something if I can't wash my hands. I won't eat group snacks like nuts or chips unless I know I'm the first one in. I can't tell you how many times I've seen kids and adults come walking out of the bathroom and go right to the chip bowl. I didn't hear any water running dang it! I was really bad with it years ago practicing basketball. I had a certain routine I had to finish before I stopped practicing....consecutive 3's around the 5 perimeter spots followed by 3 free throws...miss starts it over. On good days I'd push it to 10 free throws or make it swish only. Bad days I was in the dang dark finishing....lol No crumbs in the butter tub either.
I'm the same way except I haven't separated them since I was a kid. But I have to taste each individual flavor!! I don't really struggle with this quite as much as I used to, but when ever I have a bad thought I was told to "knock on wood". So I did, but sometimes there wasn't any wood available so I would knock on my head LOL. But I always have to knock exactly 32 times. Funny part is until this thread I've never even counted it before. I'm just so used to the motions that I know exactly when to stop. It can be embarrassing in public so I've done a better job not doing it in front of people, but when I'm by myself it's automatic.
I attribute it to fruit flavors tasting very different to me and I want to taste them dangit! But M&Ms are different cause they're all chocolate to me. I stopped being embarrassed by it years ago. Most folks that know me understand. I think my type of consistency has actually become appreciated by some of my friends. I think some have come to count on certain aspects of my character. They know if I plan a trip, event, or something that involves a group that it has to go off a certain way or I'll go nuts....so they don't really worry about it if I'm in charge. They know my sense of fairness and even-handedness so I get asked to settle disputes and wade in on things that have nothing to do with me all the time...especially in friend's relationships. Everything has order...it's just up to us to look for it. I'm just a weirdo looking for it I guess. I had somebody tell me once on this site that they were disappointed by something I wrote that wasn't in my normal style, cause they've come to expect certain things from my posts....LOL!
Agree 100%...what's the point if you can't distinguish the variety of flavors? People close to me I don't really care if they see, but if not, then I keep it on the DL. Just picture some guy you barely know knocking on his head repeatedly!! LOL Let me guess....it was OZ!! LMAO
They make them different flavors....it just makes sense. Now I will on occasion mix flavors on purpose. I will mix lemon, lime, and orange as a citrus type concoction...or cherry and strawberry and fruit punch type of thing, but why would anybody wanna eat something cherry and orange together?....the flavor profiles are just so different! I suppose it could look odd to a stranger....LOL! Nah.....when Oz wants to know what I really think about something on the boards....he'll just call....LOL! I don't remember exactly who it was anymore, but it was team related and I just threw out something quick and not well-prepared and was promptly told they were disappointed at seeing I had responded, but not very well!....LOL!
