Crazy Beliefs
 

Post things that you believe that are strange. Silly rituals, habits, or anything that you know not anyone else does, but you do anyway.

I have a ton, since I have OCD, but post yours.

-Matt:hphones:

My trouser pockets.
Front left pocket...cash/zippo only.
Front right pocket...keys/ mobile phone.
Back right pocket...tobbacco.
Back left pocket...notes etc.

If these rules aren't applied I feel odd and off balance and it bothers me.
Once had a hole in my front right pocket and had to put keys and mobile phone elsewhere.
I was in a bad mood all day.

I have to look at a digital clock at 12:00 and I cant blink or look away. Dont know why...Just cant...Unless im asleep beforehand or there isnt a clock in my room

Have to sleep against something, eg a wall

Always put my right shoe on first, same with gloves and socks

I always walk nearest the road if im in a group

Hahaar...me too.
And if I spin round too many times, I have to go the other way equally.
When I was younger that is.

I do that with everything.
no joke.
even chewing.
& stepping , when i walk.
& resting one hand in places.
i have ocd, so hush.
its just a lot of little things.
that sometimes get to me quite a lot,
& i have to stay home & not walk places & not move.
:(

:laughing: We need therapy.

Also clicking my toes when I think. If I click my right toe 6 times I have to do the same with my left. It's annoying.

ahah, waaaay ahead of you with the therapy...
but yeah i get what you mean..
its when odd little bodily things arent even both sides...
mmrraah, you cant physically leave it uneven.

I'm completely free of any "glitches".

If I pop the fingers on one hand I have to do it the exact same way on the other. I also have to wash my hair before anything else in the shower.

If i get a burger and fries i have to eat the burger first, then the fries...
I have a ritual in the shower...i get in and wash my hair first like moses...then put conditioner in my hair..soap up for 3-4 minutes..wash out the conditioner and then use my body wash :)....same order every single morning

Oh man.

I get in and stand for five minutes warming up. Then I wash the body. Then the hair. Then i stand there for another five minutes wishing I didn't have to get out.

when I get dressed the first thing I put on is my hat

*mugs right-track*

Anyway-most people tap their feet to the music they are listening to music, but when I get bored I blink to the beat... that sounds even more odd now I've typed it.

Hmm. Hard to think of until you do it...

When I get online I visit the same websites in order.

Xanga.
Facebook.
BAMF. (a forum)
Here.
Myspace.
St. Louis Cardinals website.
Yahoo.
and then whatever else I need to do.

I cannot drink during a meal unless I'm choking or something is too hot. I always drink afterwards.

After I finish a can of soda, I take the tab off, snap it in two and wear one of the halves like a lip ring until I lose it, or until I need to use my mouth.

I get the wax out of my ear with a long screw, and I don't brush the wax away from whatever I keep it on until I'm sure there is no more left in my ears. I do this because when I was younger my cousin told me that if I wiped it away too early, it would get stuck in there next time. I know this doesn't make sense now, but a habit is hard to break. I use a screw because the grooves gets the wax out pretty well.

I also collect my nail clippings until I am done clipping them. I do not let them fly about the room. Sometimes I admire an especially big nail.

My cell phone alarm is always Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes - and I don't wake up to anything else short of someone screaming at me (such as my mother or roommates)


uh... I don't know? I'm pretty random.

That's not very weird when you think about it. I'm assuming that you're right handed and that you keep your keys and mobile in the front right pocket because when you use them you want to take them straight out with your right hand to answer the phone or grab the key and put it into the lock without doing a juggling act. The wallet, you need to take with your left hand so that you can use your right hand to get the money or card from it (plus you don't want to carry three things in your right pocket, as its too bulky). The notes in your back pocket are there so that you can remove them with your left hand and count them with the right and the tobbacco, well its the only handy pocket which isn't occupied.

Its all a functional system. This is why its almost always women in supermarket queues who have to hunt for their purses and notes in their handbag, whereas men already know which pocket these things are in. That's another reason why I would never ever want to be a woman, start wearing trousers with that many pockets and some might assume you're a lesbo.

I do that the other way around. And I have a habit of trying to get my playcount of all my music even. But I keep adding new stuff, and stop listening to older stuff, so it doesn't work. It irritates me real bad! :(

Oh, and I tend to chew those fake plastic spoon-sticks, you use to stir your coffee with. I even have one in my mouth now. And I have a glass full, so if this one breaks, I can take another... It scrapes the walls of my mouth, sometimes it bleeds yech.
