Mostly mini related habbits (when i had it)
-Would always give it a good rev or 2 when i start it up, and when i am about to turn it off
- Had to check each door twice to make sure i locked it
-Had to grip the handbrake again just to make sure i did pull it up and knock the gear stick several times
-Constant cleaning even if it didn't really need it, every spare moment i was down at the garage washing then polishing -got the results though :thumbsup:
-When parked outside my house i had to keep looking outside the window every 10 mins or so just to make sure it was still there and there wasnt anybody hanging around it.
-When parked in the garage i worried because i couldnt see where it was.
-Window had to be fully down all the time, even if it was freezing cold!

I miss those days, cant wait for my next one :D

My neice is seriously OCD. My habit is to lick the inside of her 'special' cup, that's kept only for her, before I make her a cup of tea (whilst I'm out of sight in the kitchen). And When I prepare food that I know she'll be eating, I won't wash my hands before hand.


When My wife asks me to check anything (she's a checker), I go back in the house and DON'T check whatever it is I've already checked previously.

evil *******! :strongsad:



I got a new one, I only wash my dads car the day after he has given up asking me and has done it himself.

Saves me a hell of alot of time, and it ends up allot cleaner than it otherwise would.

Shame, cars gone now. Got a brand spanking new black mondeo to look after... Might do it properly this time. now... wheres my polish.

If I see a screw/nut/bolt/bit of wire on the floor i have to pick it up. I'm not a magpie, just something that's been drilled into me from work. You'd be amazed what a 1/4" nut can do to jet engines :ermm: I was walking through a garden centre and I saw a wood screw on the floor. I walked away from it twice, (after returning the first time) then proceeded to mentally wrestle with myself all the way home. Still bothers me now! :geek:

just thought of one while driving im the min, i cant have the volume of my stereo on a random number it has to be a multiple of 5 even if its way louder than it should be :)

i cant think of anymore, i'll have to think about the things i do after i do them, nothing seems odd to me sitting here and trying to think of them, its just what i do but i fear there must be loads more :lol:


OMG i thought it was just me! I mean who puts the frigging steroe at 9 or 13? am i right?!


mine goes up in 2's but anything below 20-30 and you can't hear it..... whats the smegging point!



Even number or a multiple of five. How can you sit there with it on anything else!!!


haha yh same with me, it has to be on an even number
then again thinking of that, everything else i do has to be a even number, the volume on anything, the amount of toilet paper i use etc etc.

I can't go to the toilet and do a 'number 2' if I'm wearing nice clothes.

It just feels wrong.

Both of my front pockets have to be balanced and I can't have both my prone and wallet in one pocket, both have in seperate pockets, unless i have something equal size in my other pocket then it's ok. I also find it hard to drive with both hands on the steering wheel, I often find my left hand resting on my leg or the gear stick.

I love the last part of the cereal, and will often have more cereal than I want or need just to get the last bit out! Powdered cornflakes or the such are awesome!

However, reading this, I can only think that the country's doctors/psychologists/clinics must make so much money :lol:

I guess everyone has their own little quirks, but it seems there are more people with OCD than I ever imagined. I can imagine, however, that is not much fun at times.

Its really hard to explain, but I do make reasons for numbers, for anything. I don't do it all the time though. I can't even think of an example to explain it. I think it comes from doing Maths coursework at school and having to find the reasoning for various results etc. Only subject I really enjoyed and was good at.

If I'm bored in a car, I will try and work out how many lengths of whatever car I'm in could fit between two fixed points, such as lamp posts.

I don't have OCD or anything like that though and there is nothing that really annoys me on a regular basis.

And just to finish, I have to say

1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,17,19.
