When I spill salt, I throw a few grains over my left shoulder.

I also sing to my dogs. All kinds do made up songs, about treats, pooping, barking, chasing squirrels, looking cute, tiny paws, being smelly. Constantly.

I add and subtract numbers that have no reason to be added and subtracted . For example a phone number. 555-1212. I try to seek a coincidental relationship with them. So 5+5+5=15-12=1+2..I did it!!! I am often surprised when it "works" somehow.
I must have my feet covered or I cannot fall asleep.
I often leave an inch of beverage in my glass that I will not drink.
If I fall asleep before brushing my teeth I dream my teeth are falling out.

I sleep with my feet outside the covers. I untuck the sheets and blankets at the foot of the bed and roll them back so my feet have no covers...but then the rest of me has to have at least the sheet over me. I have to retuck the sheets and blankets back under the mattress every morning. I do this, too! I don't untuck the covers, but I do have to stick my feet out from under the sheet. |

I also cut tags out of my clothes,not because of the size, I just can't stand the feel of the tags on my skin. Unfortunately I'm not a good cutter and have ruined several new blouses/pants before I've even worn them. You need a seam ripper so you can cut just the thread itself.  |

I think I am must be pretty laid-back. I don't have to have anything one certain precise way.
Maybe I am odd because I have taken two vacations where I had to work harder than I ever worked at home. I have done two habitat for humanity trips in Central America.

1. I am 45 years old and I still sleep with a "blanky" 2. Whenever I get a slice of bread from the bag, I skip over the heel and the next slice. I always grab the third piece. 3. I have to mute the "Empire Carpet and Flooring" commercial on TV. The song sends me over the edge! (I recently found out my 9 year old son also does [HASH]2 and [HASH]3. We had no idea we were both doing the same thing. Weird! ) We are soulmates on 1,2 and 3..lol |

I know this sounds crazy. I buy my beloved dh's favorite aftershave and put it into a spray bottle. When I make the bed each morning I spray my pillow. Reminds me of him. And for just a moment he is there with me.

I have a lot of odd things and most have to do with numbers.
I have to have the volume on a multiple of 5. If I can't get it on that, I can have an even number but not an odd one.
I count things when I'm angry, mostly letters in words that I can see from wherever I am.
I count people in 3's. This stems from my time at a daycare. I could have 12 kids at a time and I just started counting this way and it stuck.
When I eat M&M's I sort them by color and then sort them into piles that have one of each color. I eat those piles last and start with whatever color there are more of.

When I watch TV, the volume must be an even number. There, I said it. Yes!! Although I do make allowances for 5's. 15, 25, 35, etc are all ok. Even numbers or 5's. If my husband stops it on 17 my skin crawls. |

I like to look at a word to see if you add the letters up will it add up to the next letter. It usually doesn't happen. |

When I'm using my debit card I have to flip it over so that I can see the strip.
When I go into a store I follow a particular route I came up with. I have a different route for every store I go into.
I have been tested for OCD. I definately am OCD and take medication for it. I am ADHD as well. I was tested for that and received the diagnosis for it. My medication has recently been increased for it.
Sometimes all this is exhausting.

That's WITH using a seam ripper, I'm hopeless. But thanks for the suggestion! |

I hate different foods on my plate touching each other. All-in-one dishes like stews, casseroles, salads etc are okay of course, but everything else separate please. Meat must not touch the potatoes, potatoes must not touch the peas...... And I eat all of one thing then move on to the next. All the peas, then all the potatoes. Meat is last. This. I have divided plates for when sauces could run into each other. I used to eat all of one thing, but now I take a bite of everything, decide what I like best and save that for last.
I have a pencil collection, which I keep in 4 different containers for each season of the year because I have decorative pencils for every holiday/season. Every month on the first, I pull out my new Games magazine for that month and all previous issues for that month. I have to use pencils, because if I don't like the way I wrote a certain letter or number I will erase it and do over. 
I also count stairs and won't step on cracks.

I collect odd obituaries. I cut them out and glue them in books. These include people with funny nicknames or humorous obits. It started years ago with "Robert Stinky Mr. Smooth Montgomery". Now friends and family send them me.

I can't sit down to watch tv unless the kitchen is clean. This is not odd but very smart. I need to do that too! |

I put on mascara with my mouth closed. This is humanly impossible and I demand a video! If I am eating something that comes in different colors like M & M's or Skittles, I have to pour them all out and separate them by color. Then I eat them by color until they have the same amount remaining of each color. Then I eat one of each color so they are always even. Too weird to even explain. I am also a counter, especially when I run and I count in fours. The main thing I count are ceiling tiles and floor tiles. I must pour anything that come in a bag like potato chips, popcorn, etc into a bowl. The idea of everyone reaching into the bag totally skeeves me out. However I have no problem eating anything and everything at a pot luck! Go figure. |

I am always the first person to turn on lights in the house in the evening. If I left it up to DH or DS we would sit in the dark all night.
They don't think its an issue - but I do, I like to see where I'm walking.

I am a counter, too. I also like things to be in 5s - like the rows on a remote or the buttons on a TV or lines on a road, etc. - doesn't matter. I like to use my fingers to count so it hits all 5 and it is very satisfying if there are 5 or 10, etc. I have not told many people in my life about that little oddity. I don't even think my husband knows (28 years!).
I used to type words that people said all the time (I'm not sure I do it too much anymore - I think I finally broke that habit). It started when I learned to type clear back in high school and went on for 15-20 years.
I have a whistle for my kids. They know if they hear that specific whistle they will look for me. It has come in handy several times in stores and stuff to find out where they are quickly. They are even older (23, 21, 16, 14). My oldest says she will forever and always look around for me even if she hears that certain whistle and knows I can't be there. It has become just a thing we do and they will actually do it to each other, too.
Yes, I am an odd duck.
