I think my only OCD thing is that I always take bread from the center of the loaf. I can not, will not, have never taken the top slice.

I have no idea why either.

I don't pick up change if it isn't on heads. Cash is always good though.

I run my ac with my hands in front of it everytime before an auto-x run. Then cut the ac off and just kind of fidget until I get the "Go".

Probably always will do that.

Every time I think "I hope I don't get pulled over for doing 5 (10?)mph over" I always say after "knock on wood" in my head. Or if I think to myself about getting in a car crash I always say in my head "knock on wood".

When I'm bored/nervous/in an awkward situation I always take apart pens. Like when I had to have a meeting with my two managers about misconduct a year or so back, I would take the pen apart.. put it back together, twirl it in my hands, and take it apart again. Finally my manager says "wtf are you o.k.?" I said "yeah just figity, sorry" and put the pen away.

I count my steps. Very, very often. Usually in a 1,2,3,4 pace, or if I'm on a sidewalk with lines, I have to have the same amount of steps between lines, and I don't ever step on the line. So I would go: 1-2-3-1-2--1-2-3-1-2 like that or along the lines of that depending on the spacing of the lines in the sidewalk and my pace.

I get pissed if my tooth paste is squeezed in the middle.. it has to be squeezed at the end.

I'm pretty OCD

Sure you do. You take a quick look everytime before flushing. Oh wait, there isn't a human alive that doesn't do that. Never mind..

Hey Scot, long time no see.
Always start the day with 2 quarters, 2 dimes and 2 pennies in my pocket.
Always have change in right pocket, keys in left- but I'll bet 99% of you reading this do the same.
