Have Any Weird Little Habits?

[Hoofbite]

I do this weird thing where I drink and drink and drink until I'm sure I'll feel like hell in the morning.

I have a co-worker that has to smell each bite before eating it. I have to laugh a little to myself. totally normal I guess but, i'm like...

My neighbor also "mouths" what i'm saying when I talk to him. It's like he has to do it to understand it better or something. Thats the "Master" weird habit to me. its like watching myself talk...What?

Whenever I’m reading signs or names of places on the road. I always mentally note whether the sign has an even or odd number of letters/numerals.


I don’t know why.

Damn, that's a weird little habit.

Where do weird little habits become full on OCD?

I have this weird little habit of how I eat my food and I have noticed some people are just the opposite.

No matter how many items I have, I have to eat them in order and not take two bites of the same thing with the goal to come out in the end with one bite left of everything. If I am having Q I take a bite of the meat or meats, and then each side. If all the items are on one plate, I work toward symmetry and used to drive my wife nuts. If I took a bite of peas, I have to rearrange them into a smaller grouping that looks like a full serving only reduced in size. If I have fries, I will rearrange them like pick up sticks. If I have potato chips on a plate, I will eat both the small and larger ones to achieve symmetry. I do think this is more OCD than a habit.

I have some friends that will only eat one item until it's gone before proceeding to the next. I like to serve them chili just to see them twitch. I have actually seen one friend eat all of the Fritos or crackers or cornbread before beginning on the chili. Give them a sandwich, pickle and chips, all get eaten completely before moving on to the next.

When someone "Labels" them as such. it's who we are and does not change due to a title or label.

harmless activities are laughable but not a problem...it's called life.

I like to eat the different foods somewhat evenly, but try to save the best for the last bite.......Unless there's corn or peas on my plate. I eat those first, because they get cold the fastest.

Oh hell yeah, that's job 1 when the food arrives. Scan plate for best item to save for last. And hope you don't keel over before you get to it. You also have to keep your eyes on other diners in case they've scanned your plate and zeroed in on the same item. That's why it annoys me when other people are eying my plate. If I need to go to the men's room, I either have to take my plate with me or trust someone at the table to be as forceful as I would be defending my plate.

Many people have different minor “obsessions” or “compulsions”.

Typically, it’s not labeled as such until it becomes detrimental to the person enjoying their life, or negatively impacts their safety or happiness.

For instance, somebody who is a bit germaphobic and washes their hands a lot. It’s not really a problem, unless they are washing their hands so often that the skin on their hands starts to crack open and bleed. Now it’s a problem.

Or like my compulsion of noting whether a sign or name is even or odd number of characters. It’s really not detrimental to my everyday life. However, if I get in a car accident or actually stopped getting the actual message Of the signs. Then it becomes problematic and may want to get treatment.

I take the first letter of each word on a sign and try to make as many words out of it as possible. Sometimes there are no vowels. Then I'll arrange the consonants to sound like something.

When I go fishing in my boat as soon as I hit the intercoastal (about 15 min ride) I stop the boat, take a leak and crack a beer. Take it all in and head towards my fishing host spots.

What do you do if you're not in your boat?
