ok here you can discuss whatever rituals/habits you have to do when either watching a movie, cooking, pre-game etc.

You mean you want people to list their mental disorders

Like washing your hands 300 times a day? Or not stepping on the cracks when you walk on the sidewalk?

um ok that too. I was thinking more along the lines of say, before getting in the car you walk around the car and check the tires and the like. But if there are people that have weird Sybil moments then that would be good too. xxxLinda in 3,2,1

ok so if, i house or dog sit for people, i will organzie their mail from largest envelope to smallest. Don't know why but i do. Also, and this is more of a pet peeve, but i can't leave a pen uncapped.

Oh... okay, well mine is related to my clautrophobia on international flights. Before getting on a plane I have to call at least three people to let them that I'm flying and there's a chance that some terrorist may smuggle an explosive device onto the plane, setting it off, and whoever isn't instantly incinerated will likely be sent hurtling towards earth in a fiery ball of death. Either that or a giant hole blasted into the side of the plane... instantly sucking out half the passengers, still belted into their seats, plunging to earth at rushing speeds, until finally splatting into the ground and splintering into a hundred pieces of bodyparts. If I don't acknowledge that it could happen, I'm convinced I will go down in a fiery ball of death.

I vacuum last as well. Only makes sense. What's your pattern?
MONSTER COVER UP, LOL

Deedee · « **Reply #10 on:** September 20, 2006, 11:22:09 AM »

I vacum last too mostly, but apparently you're supposed to do it first because vacuming shoots fine dust into the air which then resettles on the furniture, so if you've already dusted etc., it defeats the purpose.

Migs · « **Reply #11 on:** September 20, 2006, 11:30:51 AM »

hmm interesting. ok more habits!

I take a hand held Dust Buster and run it over the floors before i go anywhere (and that could mean a 5 minute trip to the market)...even if i'm the only one coming home to it. Weird thing about it, i know they make these with long handles, but i prefer to bend down and do it...i think that's just silly

When I was little I had to walk a certain number of steps before I could go from one floor surface to another. If my steps did not end up at the correct number (I think it was 11) during the flow of my walking, I would stand at the change of floor surface lifting my foot up and down (like Trigger

) until the correct number was reached. Then I could walk on the next floor surface.

Yes, I have OCD
