I do carry a pocket knife in my front right pocket also. I don't carry change but I do put my bills in order from smallest to largest all facing the same way.

oh man. well i definitely do the step-counting and i love mxt_77's toothpaste thing

-can't stop the microwave or gas pump on 'bad #'s', or turn TV/radio volume
up/down to them
-if i type a telephone # with 3 6's in it, ill dial an extra one @ the end
-odd #'s are always better, as even #'s cancel-out (i know that's confusing)
-i count things like nail polish strokes, hair brushing, teeth brushing, etc.
-i have to have my blackberry on standby

there are many more so i'll quit

had OCD since i was like 2 and i actually like it

I do that too. In the car, it can't be odd because that's bad luck (don't ask me where I got that from ).

At home.. it can't be a prime number. I'll turn it to 25, but not 23. I'll turn it to 16, but not 13 or 11 or 17.

[QUOTE=mxt_77,Sep 4 2009, 07:37 AM]Also, I always make sure my coffee lids have the opening on the opposite side from the seam in the cup.

hahahaha prime # i absolutely it

i just have random ones that have somehow proven themselves 'bad' over the years (sometimes they expire though lol)! but in the last couple years, two bad #'s next to each other are now ok, b/c they cancel.

e.x. 3 and 4 separate=

34=

haha, funny thread

I also have to stop the pump on "good" numbers.

$20.00 = good. $20.01 = NEVER, EVER.

Always .5 increments. $20.05 is good. I do prefer $20.00, $25.00, $30.00, etc.

Left sock first, then right. Same with shoes.

I get ready in the morning in the same order every morning.

If I wear one of my fubtol jerseys, I always give the crest a small kiss for luck.
lol. my hangers have to face the left
