Weird Mannerisms

[Below Zero]

I've been doing this for as long as I can remember, but I just noticed today that when I open a loaf of sliced bread I always leave the top slice on the top until all the bread is gone. It really doesn't make sense because I am going to eat that piece eventually, but I will continue to do it.

[non grata]

you make me sick.

[50kLeg]

I do that to, its my least favorite peice so I eat it last.....

[MuleSkinner]

I do the same exact thing - mentally, for some reason, I think it keeps the bread fresher. Weird.

every night before i go to sleep i check my the little button on top of my alarm clock like 8 or 10 times before i can finally relax.
i check it once to make sure its set, then i turn over, then go back and check again to make sure its really set. repeat this a few more times.
Ive been doing this for over 10 years.
sometimes i think im crazy.

My truck has a timer on the dome light that stays on like 45 seconds after I shut the door when I'm leaving the car. I always end up looking like 5 times to make sure that the little dial that turns it on isn't really on, then I lower it just a little more to make sure.

I have to check to make sure my keys are in my pocket when I leave my place, even if I just put them in my pocket 3 seconds before I left. Don't want to get locked out after all.

[Below Zero]

I check that my parking brake is down even when I have been driving for a while. I do this because one time I drove home from the bar with my parking brake on - not good to drink and drive kiddies - Thankfully nothing worst happened!

[LegoSkier]

I find it impossible to stand still and brush my teeth. I pace all over the place when I brush.

i masturbate during confession

After I put on lipstick or lip gloss, I rub my lips together about a zillion times and repeat this for the next hour. Drives me nuts whenever I catch myself and I'm sure I look stupid.

[Telenater]

I always hold my car keys in hand when I lock my car.

[mushmouth]

Whenever I leave the house in the morning, walking to the bus, I check that my fly is at the very top four or five times.
I pretend to fix my belt and reach down with the pinky and feel for the big zipper part.

Hi there clone! I was going to mention the same one.

I do the bread thing. When I was a kid my mom told me it kept it fresher. I'd get yelled at b/c it was my favorite part of the loaf...

Every time I leave the house I pat myself down...keys, wallet, keys, wallet, keys, wallet....ok I'm set.

Every time I walk by my fridge I get a glass of water from the water spout thing (on the outside of it. what the hell are those called??)

i do the alarm clock thing. I'm a nutcase if I'm using a hotel alarm clock. I have to test it two or three times (set it a minute ahead of current time) just to make sure it works.

I can't open my eyes in the shower after I put my head under the stream. I just can't. I keep a towel hung over the curtain for specifically this reason. If I forget the towel I fumble around the bathroom like a blind man until I find something to wipe my eyes with, leaving big soapy puddles everywhere.

I'm sure I've got more... I think I'm borderline OCD. Depends on how much caffeine I've been drinking.

~Same here - wallet,watch,keys,phone...wallet,watch,keys,phone.

~There is no excuse for tainting my peanut butter jar with jelly smears. Or vice-versa. If I see one in the other, it goes in the trash. The two should only meet on bread, never in their containers. Typing this is making me nauseous.

If I ever get out of my car while its running, I ALWAYS roll the window down so I'm not locked out. My alarm clock must be on the right side of the bed or else it just feels wrong. My $ in my wallet has to be in order and all facing the same way, and all the shirts hung in my closet face the same way with the hangers all facing the same way. I'm sure there is more, and yeah, I know I'm weird.

[Grange]

I do the bread thing as well because I only use the ends if the rest of the loaf is gone. I also have to double check to make sure I locked the garage door right before bed even if I locked it 2 seconds earlier.

After I put on lipstick or lip gloss, I rub my lips together about a zillion times and repeat this for the next hour. Drives me nuts whenever I catch myself and I'm sure I look stupid.

This turns me on a little.

I do this as well and I KNOW it's from my dad. Every morning before we'd go skiing he'd go down the mental checklist to make sure everyone had their gear, always in the same order:

jacketpantshatglovesgogglessocksbootslunchskispole sseasonpass

always said like that too, never actually stopping to check each item, just mentioning them as a reminder.

my dad did this to me too.... whenever im leaving on a ski trip i always have to pull over about 10 miles down the road to recheck and make sure everything is in the car... and its all that stressed out bastards fault

[bagtagley]

After seeing more than one bike get destroyed in parking garage entrances and drive throughs, I always stop before entering anything w/ a low ceiling, and look up through my sunroof. I don't even have a rack on my car anymore, but I still do this.

keys, wallet, keys, wallet is universal I think (hope).

The alarm clock one kills my GF. I have a sliding switch that makes lots of noise. I click over to see that the alarm time is right, then back to "radio", then back to check the time, then back to "radio". THEN, back to off, and one click to "radio", back to off, one click to "radio". It's 2 clicks from off to "buzzer", and I HATE the buzzer sound.

[FNG]

I will walk around the kitchen aimlessly trying to remember what I came in there for. I'll always pick up the nearest bottle of liquor while doing this. No clue why.

keys, wallet, keys, wallet is universal I think (hope).

I thought so too... then the g/f started giving me shit about it.

checking is universal...but how many checks does it take to get weird? I do at least 3 or 4 on the way out, and one final check as I'm closing the door. Another check or two on the walk out to my car. Check as I'm getting out of the car....and then random checks throughout the day.

Is the compulsion to inspect your snot after you've blown your nose normal? I thought it was, but got shit for that one too.

I wish the sun shone on my deck.

When I pump gas the last digit must end with a five or zero, preferably on the quarter.

Whenever I leave the house in the morning, walking to the bus, I check that my fly is at the very top four or five times.
I pretend to fix my belt and reach down with the pinky and feel for the big zipper part.

I do this too, but somehow it seems to get past me every once in a while.

I also check for my wallet almost every time I stand up from a sitting position, and a couple of times I've put my wallet in my jacket pocket or my front pocket for some reason, and it scares the shit out of me when I check for my wallet and it's not there, even if I just moved it seconds before.
