Little quirks and things you do that don't make sense

[Evilshy 5,090]

For example, when I'm changing the volume of something, it has to be either multiples of 5, or end in 3 or 7. It doesn't bug me if it's not, but if I can change it, I will.

 

When I'm the passenger in a car, if I'm not talking to the person driving, I imagine this dude running along side the car, dodging obstacles. He has a grappling hook and ziplines on powerlines. Also, sometimes instead of dodging obstacles, he has to jump and climb on stuff an avoid touching the ground.

[Skullbuster 1,906]

yes, the volume has to be a multipul of 5, everything has to be a multipul of 5

When I eat something small (like M&M's or Skittles), I eat in twos, one on each side.

I have a similar quirk, where I imagine a pair of cats running along side the car (or bus if I'm bored enough) and they're trying to keep up, yet not be seen by anyone...

 

I've also imagined Rainbow Dash flying, keeping up easily and dodging branches and stuff...

Heheh, during long bus trips when I was a kid that used to be my main source of travel entertainment, and on some occasions it still is!

 

There's a whole bunch of little subconscious habits I've picked up over the years. Probably the two that have stuck with me the longest, are continuously pressing the button at a pedestrian crossing, even though the lights wont turn red any quicker now matter how many times I smack on the button. The other occurs when I'm crossing the road, and a car is approaching me. While I don't wish to jog across the road, I also don't want to hold the car up as I cross, so I end up doing this awkward half jog across the road, and feel like a complete idiot afterwards.

I do that, too. If I only have one thing to eat, I chew it the same amount of times on both sides of my mouth. Which is weird, because in art and design and stuff, I don't like symmetry very much.

I used to have some person skateboarding along with the car and grinding on the highway roads.

 

When I close my eyes and see the lights and colors, I try to turn the lights into different shapes or try to manipulate them to something. It never ends up to what I want because my eyes hurt after a while of focusing =/

[D1SC0RD 987]

When I knock on a door, I ALWAYS knock 7 times, and I have to count it out. I count "1, 2, 3, 4, 1, 2, 3"

 

Before I eat a bowl of cereal, each piece must be touched by the milk.

 

I will not eat an apple if it has any bruises or other imperfections.

 

Makeup MUST be done before hair.

 

When I write on paper, there must be no paper beneath the sheet I am writing on.

 

When eating a meal with several different foods (like chicken, rice and corn) I must fully eat one type of food before I move on the the next. I eat from smallest portion to largest, as well.

[Kapi 215]

I must have something in my hand, or my fist must be clenched at all times. Sometimes I'll leave my room clacking together some magnets, or I'll click a pen, or something like that.

 

If I'm reading a book, I tap my finger at the end of each sentence.

 

And anything has to be PERFECT. I can spot a crooked picture without even looking at it, I just know its there, and I HAVE to fix it.

[D1SC0RD 987]

xD That one is pretty quirky, indeed.

[I_wesley125 393]

In games like Battlefield if I have 31 rounds I shoot out a round.

I do the cereal, too. I push down the cereal until all of it has been submerged completely at least once.

 

Also, the paper thing, unless it's a notepad or something. But if I have paper in a binder or something, I always take it out so it's just a single sheet.

[Blank Flank 69]

If I am at a restaurant I need to have all the things that are on the table placed neatly, though in my own house it doesn't matter.

 

When I eat pizza I need to fold it.

 

When I'm solving a math problem I need to move my lips, or talk out what is going in my head in order to solve it.

 

Also on my morning bus ride to school, if I don't put my headphones in my ears before we pass a certain point, I feel as if that day will be unlucky the rest of the day.

[Skar 324]

I don't want anything to be put on "13" either it be a volume control, weight, height, quantity. Also I like things to be at "4"

[Ezynell 2,037]

yes, the volume has to be a multipul of 5, everything has to be a multipul of 5

 

This. Jeezus Christ, you don't know the pain. Whenever you turn the TV on, I have to check the volume to see, and its gotten to the point where my brothers will switch the volume to like 13 just to fuck with me. I'm lucky my computer volume doesn't have numbers.

 

Also I absolutely hate it when somepony leaves my room and leaves the door open.

[Slendermane 477]

I think we all have a little O.C.D. in us.

 

When I walk on tiles or carpet, I always look for geometric patterns.

 

When I look at wood, I always look for faces and other pictures in the grains.

 

When it rains, I watch the raindrops to see which ones will devour the others.

 

I clean and organize some things, like my backpack and my desk, but leave my room a cluttered mess.

 

When I eat, I don't like my food to mix (except some exceptions like corn and mashed potatoes. Then I mix them together).

 

I am never satisfied with how I organize my bookshelves. I am always at war with myself over certain things. "Should Narnia be in Fantasy or Classics? What about Tolkein? Ferienheit 451 is a classic. Should I put other Bradburry books in the classics, or put Ferienheit 451 in the Sci Fi?" I am constantly rearranging my bookshelves.

 

I remember when I was younger, I had some of these things that I grew out of. I would imagine the car was staying still, while the wheels turned the world. I thought the clouds were fixed in place in the sky, and that they just turned at a different speed than the planet. I had this rediculous idea of mapping the clouds of the sky.

[Mister Jack 566]

Oh boy, I hate having OCD.

 

Volume has to be a multiple of 5.

 

Sinks and light switches have to be turned on and off until it "feels" right.

 

I have to push the ESC key every few seconds when I type.

 

I have to push every button on the remote when I watch tv.

 

I have to push every button on a controller when I play a game, even if it doesn't do anything.

 

Oh yeah, and when I write I am NEVER EVER SATISFIED WITH WHAT I WRITE.

 

EVER.

No offense D1sc0rd but you seem much too orderly for your sn

 

I have a thing about multiples of 5 or 3 & 7. Everything if my life has to fit that. Also (though this isn't me), if my girlfriend plays with my hair she will continue to brush/shake it to try to get ALL the dandruff out (it never works).

[5guysburgersnfries 216]

Due to drawing habits, when ever I take out a fresh sheet of paper I ALWAYS draw a circle with a cross through it.

like so

Whenever I'm thinking about something intense I do tongue tricks (I can do quite a lot XD).

I ALWAYS push people to the right side of me, I can't stand standing on the right side, but I have exceptions such as if there's a wall next to me (just as long as there's no body standing on my left, although I love being in the middle, that's an exception too XD)

There's a lot of little habits I have but I can't really think of them all.

Now posting in OCD thread

 

I hate it when people are standing behind me while I'm working on something, and I typically only go to sleep when the current time is divisible by 15.

[Guest]

My blankey has to be even on each side of the bed. I'll get up and fix it until its perfect.

:s

[Killian Jones 2,655]

I can't drink from a glass or bottle someone else has drunk from. I also won't let a knife which has been used for butter or mayonaise or something to be used with something else.

 

It's minor cleanliness problems like that. Other then that, I'm a slight hoarder.

[Colon Leftbracket 971]

Oh dear Apollo, where do I begin!

...guess I'll start with making references that no one will understand!

 

I type in the same mannerisms that I talk.

 

When I type, even casually I make sure my words are spelled correctly in complete sentences!

Thank Celestia Google Chrome has spell check! Thought this might be further feeding this habit. I can't stand when I have to use Internet Explorer at school and it doesn't tell me when I spelled something wrong! FUUUUUU!

Guess my meticulous typing paid off now since whenever I have to validate my HTML code in my Web class it always comes out validated!

 

When I walk through a building with tiles that have any sort of geometric shapes or patterns in them with multiple colors I ALWAYS choose a color that I cannot step on! On the way out I walk on the reverse color of when I came in! (This one get's a bit awkward when people watch me walking in weird direction in fear of spontaneous combustion if I step on white tile)

 

Avoid cracks on the sidewalk. If it's a two way trip I then make sure I step on every crack I previously avoided.

 

In Pokemon games I refuse to allow certain Pokemon to evolve if their evolution is ugly (Example: I never let my Quilava evolve to a Typhlosion) I never pick a fire starter either except in 2nd gen. (Quilava is my favorite Pokemon)

 

When I watch a movie I tend to criticize the movie like I'm a professional movie critic.

 

When I had long hair I always parted it to left rather than the right like most people do.

 

I honestly do not know how to tie shoes.... I pull the laces as tight as possible and stuff them in my shoes.

 

When my MP3 is on shuffle I cannot listen to the same artist twice in a row.

 

When organizing my MP3 library NEVER EVER am satisfied listing something under the genre rock. It must be the correct specific genre. What some people list as screamo I'd list as Post-Hardcore, Metalcore, Electronicore, Nintendocore, Deathcore, Avant Garde Metal, etc. What some people would list as emo I'd list as Pop-Rock, Punk, Post-Grunge, Pop-Punk, etc.

 

When I make a post it is usually long.

 

I tend to think on simple subjects for hours at a time.

 

I probably have the ability to be an absolute genius, but I'm too lazy to show it.

 

If I have to pause a song for any reason I have to restart it.

 

When having to stand for the pledge I mumble every part to myself except the under God part. If I am feel especially non-patriotic I replace 'Under God' with 'Under my foot'.

 

When playing an MMO or other RPG like game I always use my entire rotation, even if some abilities are useless in the circumstance.

 

Sometimes when I wear my Tripp pants that zip off to make shorts I leave one side long for the lolz. (They sadly don't fit me anymore, but I can't complain I got them on sale for $15)

 

I tend to write long and epic stories in fantasy worlds in my head during my free time, but never write them down.

 

Specifically on this forum I replace the F-Word with Buck, unless I'm in a bad mood.

 

I often have nightmares of being trapped in a a room forever! I had one last night where I drove some futuristic ""Water Speeder" that looked like a spaceship cockpit with engines. I drove it underwater which it wasn't built to be a submarine so it sank to the bottom of the ocean with me stuck underwater... forever... Strangely this time I was alone! Usually I'm stuck with someone I cannot stand, wasting my air! At least it was peaceful alone even when facing my worst fear.

 

AND lastly I cannot stand condiments and dressings. I don't mind using ketchup or the usual whatever the buck they put on my Baconator at Wendy's, but I cannot stand them used on used in unusual ways (which is weird since I live for alternatives to everyday things) but I seem to have developed a phobia for them touching me!

 

Well there's my long list of quirks! That was fun!

We have quite a bit in common, I see.

 

In addition to those, I...

 

Give people a million nicknames. The more nicknames I give you, the more I like you. That's a way to tell without asking me. Either that, or it means the catchier your name is. The nicknames start off making sense and then evolve into weird things that have nothing to do with your name anymore. (Like how I call my boyfriend Popcornshoes even though that has nothing to do with his real name. Or my dog, named Sassy, after many years evolved into Mimpia. My friend Cal? His name was turned into Castush and now he is just Mr. Tush. Yes, I know. Ridiculous.)

 

Have a tendency to make up crazy nonsensical stories and just blurt them out to people. This has the habit of making me have a large amount of injokes with another person. My mind is seriously endless in its creativity and coming up with things. I don't know how it does it. It just does. It can also create entire worlds, premises, and concepts out of nowhere. For serious storytelling. I usually don't write them down because TOO MANY IDEAS.

 

Am not content to just post one-liners. I usually feel they are "incomplete" and must always at least add a little bit of detail to my post to pad it out. (Forum games don't count though.)

 

In Pokémon, each Pokémon must be at the same level. If I receive one that is not, I train it until it is on par with the others. Or I go insane. Also, they MUST evolve to their final stage regardless of whether or not I hate it or else I feel "incomplete."

There needs to be some kind of obnoxious noise for me to fall asleep.

 

Often when I go in someone elses car, I hope the shock absorbers are broken.
