Weird OCD habits

[-:Undertaker:-]

Do you have any weird habits like OCD stuff?

One thing I always have to do is cover corners like on the fireplace because it hurts my eyes looking at them if i'm focused on like the TV/PS2.

How about you

Even numbers. TV volume or the radio in the car has to be an even number, or a 5. Any odd numbers will not do, same with my heaters in the car has to be an even number
Setting my alarms before going to sleep takes about 10 minutes as I need to check them over and over to make sure they're set. Even when I'm satisfied that all 5 alarms on my phone are set I need to put it on screensaver to check that it shows right and that the first alarm is set. Then my alarm clock gets checked multiple times even though it never gets changed!

When pens are pushed up or have no lids on I usually have to put them on. When a manager at work gives me something to sign I always push the clicker for the pen nib to go back down before giving it to them.

Every time a thread like this comes up it reminds me of even numbers so thank you @pasta; and @snr;.

Washing my hands until they bleed

[Empired]

In the dishwasher, forks and spoons go on the left and knives go on the right. If anyone has put them in wrong ahead of me I will always change them round.

Whenever I see a digital clock I add up the numbers (so 09:59 would be 0 + 9 + 5 + 9 = 23) and I like it when they add up to a number ending in 5 or 0. If they don't then I'll wait for the clock until the numbers add up to 5 or 0 even if that means hanging round for no reason for four minutes
It got so bad I had to change my alarm clock from digital to analogue because I kept myself awake for literally hours at night adding up the numbers all the time.

I'm weird but I don't have OCD ok

Oh another one I have is that when I'm reading a physical book, when I see a long word I'll count how many characters are in it... 3 times. First I'll count the first 4 letters as '4' then count every individual letter after that as 1, so I'd go 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 etc. the second time I count in groups of 4 letters of the same word so 4, 8, 12, 14 (if it doesn't go perfectly into 4). Finally, I'll then count each letter individually so 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 etc. it all started in around year 9 when one of my friends said they had to look up this certain 15 letter word for their class, then from then on I started counting longer words and eventually found a random 15 lettered one. Yes, I'm weird.

one of the few mental illnesses i dont have lol rly dont care about even numbers, over-cleanliness, routine etc. @scottish; has this tho where he likes the volume on the tv or his car radio to be even/end in a 5 or 0 but i put it onto odd numbers and he doesn't even notice
