Never use the top piece of ham in a ham packet for a sandwich XD just throw it away

I have this stange little habbit where when I am driving along (or a passenger in a car) I find myself tapping my foot along with objects that are passing by. The worst is lamposts, I have to tap my foot in time with every lampost that I pass, and if I try to stop myself doing it I find myself tapping my foot exactly half way between the lamposts. Or sometimes it is cars that are driving in the other direction. It really winds me up some times, but if I dont do it it winds me up so much more. I have got lots more too, but my lunch break is about to end, so I will have to list them later.

I think it is good that people with such 'character' also have cars with loads of character. Mini's are the best cars for people with OCD's (unless they have a problem with rattling noises, lol).

Oh yes, another one of mine is that I have to eat food individually. All my food has to be seperate on a place. So I would have my spagetti next to my bolignaise, and I would eat lasagne layer by layer. And if I have curry, the curry has to be next to the rice rather than on top of it. I hate it when my food gets all mixed up, it ruins the taste completely.

Funny lot we are.Is that we all love Classic cars to.On some Motorways they have joints when you go over one it goes bump i hate that sound and have to turn the music up.I also hate road Humps they damage your brakes etc all the time.I liked them when i had a Range Rover with heavy duty Mil.Shocks i could just jump them at 60 mph and land well. Bit like being in a big boat going over waves.You nutters.

That's just stupid...like buying a choclate muffin and removing the choclate chips...and keeping butter next to toast....pasta is meant to go with a sauce...cavemen would rofl @ you.

In Wellington Shroshire the speed bumps have been spaced so that a mini can go straight over at full speed. If nothing is coming the other way then you can drive down the middle of the two lanes and go between the speed bumps as they are not the ones that go across the full width of the road.

I have also developed the habit of never jumping gears when changing down. I still go 5th, 4th, 3rd etc. I suppose this was due to driving the mini where you can't really do it or you lurch to a stop.

Yes about the road humps.In Solihull B92 the road humps are full road and everywhere,they spoil a nice drive in any car.We also have roads with clossed lanes by brick walls and flowers so only one car can drive on both sides at 20mph.We are watched by working speed cameras on all good roads with a max speed of 29mph spoils any drive around town.In my high tec. rally sports car i can not speed or get out of secound gear 6-12 a gallon going slow,drives me nuts till i get to a lane.I am old 47 so the pigs do not stop me often just follow me.I know they get Jel. and want to nick me.We all get a bit in any car.I do want another Classic Mini in my collection i love them as it was my first car on the road and i had to build it myself.Hence i am here.I am still Mini mad at my age.When i retired i had to sell a lot of loved cars.I will get another to keep in the future.My last Mini was very nice no rot full MOT and tax,1300cc MG Metro based engine brakes wheels full mods lsb top system mayfair insides etc.Needed a spray job i painted with a brush Mr. Bean for fun on the road.Sold it to two young men who loved it about ten years ago for £100 i kept it as a 998cc so they could cheat and drive it.By law they signed for it as not road legal and un-fit for the road.Just incase.Happy men.

when eating a crunchie corner, i cant bend the smaller side with the "topping" (if thats what you'd call it??) so they fall into the yogurt,
i have you use a spoon to get them out, i prefer the container to remain square and somehow more symmetrical

[minidream94]

Well i don't have OCD or anything but i do have some habbits.

1) Im forever tapping on anything thats around me, be it tables, my knees etc even do it on the seat infront of me ont he bus.
2) Sleep with window open whatever the weather. Be it ice and snow, gail force windows or hot and humid.
3) Can't sleep in a hit bed, always has to be cold.
4) sleeping with socks on is a MASSIVE no no
5) Whenever i boil the kettle it has to be emptied and filled back up to full before i boil it.
6) Have 2 seperate mugs for hot drinks, as yes i drink both tea and coffee and can never have them in the same mug EVERr

i'll probably think of more but for now thats it

More odd ones.When making cheese on toast above do you put the toast on a seperate plate.I like pouring Currys down the loo.It looks right for the pan.

[LOWRIDERHORNET]

I store my drink in my cheaks before i drink it

[davidv]

That is strange above if you store your drink in your cheaks first do you have a very fast poo? and a saw botty? .Or are you ogay.I drink mine.

[Gaffer]

I NEVER finish a meal. i Have to leave something, usually its only like one pea or a single chip or something little like that though.

I'm the same, always have to leave a bit on my plate. Also, when eating anything on toast like raviolli or spaghetti, the bread HAS to be positioned in the correct way or else i wont eat it til it is (one piece cut in half and the other placed one half above and the other half positioned on the right hand side)

When I work away i HAVE to have brand new socks every day and wont wear them more than once. I wont wear anybody elses socks and if anybody wears mine i will just through them in the bin after. ASDA are great for deals like 7 pairs for £2

I cant eat 4 finger kitkats, i have to eat two lots of 2 finger kitkats and loads of fussy things like that

[davidv]

Strange leaving pea on your plate.Must wash faster.Only wear your own socks yes,me to.Germs and sins.Same with shoes.
