Smile Weird Habits...Have any?

So I did a search and I couldnt find a thread or topic on "weird or odd habits"...
SO!
Do you have any weird or unusual habits that other people find different or you just can't live a day without becuase you're so used to doing it?? OR...do you or did you have a roommate or friend who had weird or annoying habits???

MINE is that I can't fall asleep at night without white noise, so I usually have a fan next to my bed, even if its 10 degrees outside. And if I'm staying at someones place or vacationing, I always can't fall asleep because I don't have white noise...so weird!!

I also had a roommate in college who used to have this fear of open closet doors at night. It wasn't a big deal for me at all, but everynight before she went to bed, she would be sure to close my closet door because she had this childhood fear of things jumping out at night or something... Weird....

Ok here is mine. I can't go to sleep wihout washing my feet. My family is all military so clean feet were a major issue. I would fall a asleep but wake up knowing somehthing was off. So get up and put my feet in the tube with some soap and wash them. Then I take me feet out, dry them and then but some lotion on them and then off to bed I am.

I do this in the day; like I will get off from school and wash my feet before I get ready to go to work.

I also cannot go to bed without having clean feet.

I also can't sleep without having the TV on mute. I don't know why, but my closed eyelids need some kind of stimulation in order to go to bed. The not-BF can't sleep without having ESPN radio on so you can imagine how it is when he and I try to go to sleep.

With every fresh new pack of cigarettes I always turn the first one upside down. Most people call it their lucky, but I just do it out of habit now.

I also get a lot of weird stares when I'm at the beach. I meditate before I go out surfing.

If hubby is home I have to turn the TV off to sleep - not because he needs it that way, but if he's not home I have to sleep with it on but muted

I have to make sure my closet doors are closed when I sleep, it makes my room feel more open and apparently I need that when I sleep. (I don't know, I am weird) I also have to crack the tops of my feet (yes you read it right) before I do anything else in the morning otherwise I feel offbalance the whole day.

This is a very weird habit, borderline paranoi....

But everytime I hear a plane flying above me, I have the need to look at it. I might be talking to someone and just look at the sky and just follow it with my eyes and sometimes get distracted as I do.....I guess 9/11 had a profound effect on me....actually, i used to do this before...but more so now.

i have to have the tv on when i fall asleep. i usually shut it off in the middle of the night without realizing it. also, if i have to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, i have to turn my light on when i walk back into my bedroom just to look around, then i turn it off and walk to my bed.

Wow!

I'm the same about the white noise - hubby sleeps with a fan on anyway (even if it is 10 degrees outside - sorry, forgot I'm in Florida, so it's not 10 degrees where I am) and I've gotten so used to it that I find it hard to sleep without it. He even leaves it on for me when he goes to work in the mornings. . .

And about the open closet doors - I always make sure my closet door and bathroom door are closed as well. Not afraid of things jumping out at night, but it just seems that if they're open, there's this "black hole" in the middle of the room.

I can not go on a road trip that I am driving without 3 things:
1.) Joshua (my beanie baby like monkey - I"ve had him for almost 8 years now)
2.) my Bible - it always stays in the car with me during trips
3.) one Large McDonald's coke

I don't know what it is.... but I have to have these 3 things. And my monkey Joshua has to sit in the passenger seat.

Ok.

I never really thought I was weird. But, since I have been with my husband, he has advised me that I am a freak

I eat pizza with two forks. I cannot stand touching the pizza. I use one fork to hold the pizza and another to sort of tear it apart.

I also have a fear of mold/bacteria/fungae, etc. I refuse to keep anything in our fridge longer than 7 days. (This means jelly, ketchup, anything...) I have antibacterial hand gel at all times. I make sure to use antibacterial dish soap, etc. I have to anti-mildew the shower once a week.

I have a routine that I go through each and EVERY time I leave the house: check heaters, stove, lights, door locks. And, I have to check the door to see if I locked it at least twice.

Perhaps I have a mild form of OCD where the routine and mold issues are concerned

I sleep with a (satin) pillow under my head, and another one over my head.
