Does anyone else do this or are I just weird?

This radio show does a segment weekly where they say something they think they only do in hopes that people call in and say they do too. Basically just saying something that you do that's weird and see if other people do it too.

I am curious to see what NS thinks they do that nobody else does. I'll start, I have to put my right shoe on first. Can't remember the last time I put the left one on before the right one.

When I put on anything besides socks, my right limb is always first.
When tying my shoe, instead of looping the lace over and then pulling it through, I go under and pull it up.
When I scratch my balls, it's actually more of a pinch and roll

I put Chapstick on like every 5 minutes.

I always have to wear a hat (trust me, it gets weird, if you know what I'm saying)

Sometimes I break into my neighbors house in the middle of the night, and give them a little kiss on the cheek while they're sleeping.

I don't untie or tie my tennis shoes, I slide them on and off already tied.

instead of folding towels, shirts, or sweaters, I roll them-- military style.

When I eat a salad, I get my dressing on the side, and for each bite I dip my fork in the dressing and then stab the lettuce-- that way I get just the right amount of dressing and the lettuce doesn't get soggy or saturated.

I take the lid off of my latte and eat/drink the foam--otherwise it just disappears and you never get to enjoy it.

I keep two tubes of chapstick in my pocket, one for my lips and one for my nose. My nose gets so incredibly dry on the inside so I occasionally have to put chapstick in it.

Somebody made the thread already saying they get naked to shit and a few other things.

I used to do everything in multiples of 3. Like everything. Shit was wild. Idk how I broke that habit. Glad I did though. Still will only watch tv on an odd volume though. And generally will grab an odd number of candy, cookies/whatever.

hmmm, yeah I was actually a little upset that powerball tickets are $2.00, so I had to buy an even dollar amount of them.

Actually yah I guess thats another thing that I do.

I really hate even numbers so all of my alarms would be 8:13 or something along those lines. Even times on the microwave have to be uneven for me for some reason.

I always look for exits when I am in unknown locations.

When I go for runs I look for places that would be good places to sleep if I was homeless.

I only use shampoo like once every 2 months.
I wear long johns instead of underwear all winter long.
I talk to myself constantly, often to tell myself that I'm a fucking idiot.
I do karate to shut all the drawers and cupboards in my kitchen.
I sleep with the blankets right up over my head every night.

when i eat food like pudding, applesauce, bananas, or other mushy-ish items i click my molars together as if i were chewing the food.

when marking books for english class, I will mark something, brush my hair back and toss my pen on the table, only to pick my pen back up and do the same thing

this one is hard to explain, but sometimes i will catch myself making a weird clicking noise in the back of my throat/nose.

I always sing or talk to myself when I ski, sometimes in strange accents

Oh and i used to tell the future by spitting into the Toilet while it was flushing: timing of future events was determined by how it landed left to right, left was sooner right was later. up and down was the quality of the events coming.
wtf was wrong with me..

That's all I can think of right now but I'm sure I have more

when i was a baby the easiest way for my mother to make me stop crying was by repeatedly counting to eight while patting my head. now, 20 years later, i can still relax myself by counting to 8 in my head over and over.

Damn I guess my anal retentive ocd ass is about to get exploited with this thread.

Its not that I do things in 3's but I cant do something twice, its either 1, 3, or above (my favorite number is 2 though)

Whenever I enter a room, no matter if I have been there or not, I am constantly looking around and observing every inch and object of the room. If I go back to that room at a later point I start analyzing everything that has changed and why it is changed.

I can not stand if someone does not make eye contact with me atleast a little bit during a conversation, I will literally lose my thought process and forget what im talking about solely based off the fact that dont make eye contact.

I often research random events and subjects online, not too know them. But for the fear that I might end up having a conversation about that subject later on and not know what im talking about.

All I can conclude is that I am very anal and analytic

ahaha thats weird.

I poop naked at home

This takes way too long to explain to people, but i am constantly imagining 45 degree lines coming off of anything with a corner, analyzing the intersections, making sure im not sitting/walking on a line or intersection from an object with a corner (builing, sign post, etc.) I make sure i sit in the triangle created by the edges of the desk on either side of me, not to one side where a line hits me. its weird...

when i played hockey the right skate would always go on first
now my right ski goes first and my left boot before the right
i used to always put the ski with the sticker on it on my left foot but i broke the brake on the other one so now it has to go on my front foot since the foot in the ski with no brake wobbles around and sketches me out on rails

I'm almost certain I'm the only person who has ever done this but fuck it..

I have a wide range of colours of body washes/shampoos. Before I go to sleep at night, I close my eyes and think of something I want to accomplish/progress the next day, then after I've thought of something, I close my eyes really tight for a split second, and whatever 2 colours are the most prolific when I close my eyes tight, I use the colour I saw the most of for my shampoo, and the 2nd colour I saw the most of for body wash.

I think it's kinda fucked up to be honest but it makes me feel like I'll have a better day.

Left ski on first, and I have a left/right dedicated ski.

I am constantly whistling. It's an instinct. I'll find myself whistling in random situations all the time

When I watch porn I sometimes imagine that the girl is someone I know and I get off a lot better.

I sit on my bathroom floor, naked, while I wait for the shower water to get hot in the morning.. and always in the same position. sitting up with legs held up by my arms.

I can't go to sleep without looking at twitter first.

I can't go to sleep without checking every door in my houseto make sure it's locked.

A few things have been mentioned already, but still.

Always check for exits, places to hide, make-do weaponry etc. Also I have apocalyptic survival-plans ready for the three places where I spend most of my time.

I talk to myself way too fucking much. In different accents too, but usually wu-tang.

I like to take dumps with the door open at home. And I sit when I pee, most of the time.

And I like leaving stuff unlocked, for the fun of it. Sometimes I sleep with an unlocked door.

Also I lucid dream like every single night.

I only have the volume on multiples of 5.
I only use a certain fork/spoon at my house.
I don't know if this counts, but I'm obsessed with underwear... it's the one obsession I have. I believe I have around 75 pairs.
I have to repeat my shower routine the same way every day.
We have two sinks in the downstairs bathroom, and I wash my hands in one and brush my teeth in the other.
I have to chew gum when I take tests/quizzes.
I always shave my right leg first (except for when I've had surgery on it) along with entering clothes, shoes, and socks.

I wear a hat i'd say 75 - 80% percent of the time im awake but i'm constantly taking it on and off.

i can only sleep on my stomach, with my head turned towards my left shoulder. this has gotten to the point where my range of motion is severely less when turning my head to the right than to the left.

less so now, but a couple of years ago i sed to sweat profusely under my pits if i was cold. weird.
