Cherrie, I won't watch live t.v. I cannot stand commercials.
If I am watching a dvr'd show and need to shower, I will let the commercials run and get in and out of the shower in that amount of commercial time.

I have to sleep with the remote control under my pillow.
I floss my teeth obsessively (many times) every day.
I'm sure there's more.

When I go to Starbucks I can't deal with them putting a sticker on my cup. I always order my drink without a sticker. Can't drink it if it has the sticker on it.
I won't drink anything without a straw.
I actually LOVE and really enjoy laundry (most people think that one is the weirdest).

Clipping nails makes me want to punch someone in the face...with a brick. That's not strange, that's perfectly normal!

I've been told by more than one person that I write the number 8 backwards. I'm left handed, I do everything with my left hand but I write with my right hand. Same here. Zeros/the letter O too. And me. Except that I write with my left hand.

I have to drink milk with ice in it. If I don't have ice in it I WON'T DRINK IT. My kids think I am a wackadoodle but, I don't care!

I can't have anything touching or covering my ears when I go to sleep, hair has to be tucked behind, duvet not that high etc. If dh touches my bellybutton it makes me feel sick, really unpleasant. Not that he does often but it's like a play threat now ;)I'm a bit obsessive about my curtain being just so. They're eyelet heading and I like them to be perfectly evenly spaced.

WOW! You guys ARE ODD!!! J/k ... I'm in the right club, because I'm odd too! Things MUST be symmetrical or centered. everything, even touches. Like if DH is giving me a back rub, if he works on one shoulder, the exact same thing must happen to the other shoulder or I get weirded out. My DH is awesome and after 25yrs instinctively knows this! im not much of a house decorator because we have too much clutter, but when I focus on it, centered or symmetrical is the rule. like a PP, I shake AND smell the milk before pouring. i love the Peas and all of their oddities!

When my daughter goes out with friends I tell her if you drink don't drive. If you need a ride call me and I will come get you and my car. I know she don't drink and I know she would never drink and drive but I still say it to her everytime.
have a great day, dori

The features on a house must be symmetrical for me to even look at it when buying a new home.
I spell long words in my head when they are spoken
I count stairs as I walk. I also count sidewalk cracks.

When doing laundry, even towels or underwear, the new ones coming in always go to the bottom of the pile or back of the drawer. I do the shower routine as well - to the point where I have to scrub my hair a certain amount of times. I'm not sure what the actual count is, but even if I know my hair is clean, if it doesn't *feel* like I've scrubbed enough, I'll go a couple more times. I'm sure there are more.

-another milk sniffer here -I have to check the front door is locked before I go to bed, even though I know it is -Each morning I get in the car, then go back to the front door to make sure it's locked -I tap my fingers nails on my thumb nail, and if I don't think it was a successful "tap", I keep tapping until it is

When I am drinking water I count my swallows. It started when I was in school and would count swallows at the drinking fountain. Now I can't imagine drinking water without counting.

I hear music in everything. I could be lying in bed, the central air will go on and I'll hear music in it. I can make songs with it, notes, hear background instruments, words etc. if I had paper I could write it.

I have to smell milk before I drink it. Even if I just brought it home from the grocery store. I'm apparently an expert at it because on mornings when I'm not drinking milk, my husband brings it to me to sniff for him. I'm a milk sniffer. I smell the milk too. I also have to shake the jug before I can pour it and I can only drink it from a glass. I feel like it tastes different if I drink it from a plastic cup.

I hate lights on in the house in the daytime. The inside of my house is sunny, light and bright. If I was blind I wouldn't need lights on in the day time. My husband turns on lights then leaves them on and walks away. Drives me nuts! Lights on in the house, in the daytime = depressing to me.

I'm a counter. I count all sorts of things. A little OCD.
I also enjoy doing laundry. It probably has something to do with the fact that my laundry room is far from every other part of the house.

I enjoy doing laundry too. I don't really care to fold the stuff coming out of the drier but the hanging on the clothes rack etc is ok.

I brush my teeth while in the shower.
When I meet someone with an unusual name, I can only remember it if I have them spell it for me.

Oh my I thought I was odd until I read this thread. LOL I'm perfectly normal. I am also left handed so everything to alot of people I do is backward. I always put my left sock and shoe on first. I always have to eat 2 cookies. I can't stand lights on in the daytime. I'm so glad I'm not normal. And with this is my 100th post Oh Boy

When I'm walking, I have all sorts of rules about where I step so that my feet are even. If I'm walking on carpet and changing over to tile, I have to make sure both feet took an equal number of steps on the carpet, then step on the tile. I have to step all the way on the tile, not have part of my foot on the carpet. If that happens, then the other foot has to step partially on the carpet, and it has to be the exact same ratio of carpet to tile, on the exact same part of my foot. Same if I'm walking on a floor that has different color tiles or stripes or is in some way multicolored. I'm sure it looks really weird when my steps are all long or short while I try to even my feet back out. Cracks in the sidewalk are the same. I try very hard to avoid them, but if I step across one with my right foot, then I walk funny for a while until I come to a place where I can step across one on the same part of my left foot.
This was a real problem when I was younger, but now I make an effort to not pay attention to the ground I'm walking on except for a quick check for obstacles in my path.
I touch my upper and lower teeth together a lot, just touching, not grinding. I have to touch them all equally all the way around my mouth, which is difficult because I have a cross bite and my side teeth don't touch at the same time. I have to move my jaw around to get them all aligned. My nephew just got braces and they did something with his front teeth so the top teeth don't touch the bottom teeth. I was horrified. I didn't tell him, of course, but I almost had a panic attack imagining not being able to touch every one of my top teeth to my bottom teeth. I would start to feel like my front teeth were going to fall out.

I'm in such good company!
- I buy most groceries in multiples of two; not really sure why
- when I put the silverware in the dishwasher, I have to put them in each basket compartment one at a time from left to right. Bunching them all at one end makes me crazy
