I saw this thread on another site, should turn out to be great.

I'll start,
- I eat the crust first when eating pizza.
- sometimes I feel awkward in public when my hands aren't doing anything, so I usually pull out my cell and pretend to text.
- I cant take an exam while wearing long sleeves. I just cant.

Considering Firefly lasted just 13 episodes I was probably the only one to watch it :mad:

Well, I just watched it all on Hulu for the first time ever about a month ago. I almost wanted to cry because of how good it was and how much it's never coming back.

Back to the topic, when I'm walking, I need for my feet to walk evenly. Every substance I walk on has to be touched by each foot the same number of times as the other. I'm pretty sure I'm crazy, but it makes me happier to do it, and it takes far too much concentration to not look at the ground to pay attention for me to not do it.

Scott, I do the same basic thing, but also when my hand accidentaly touches something I repeat the same motion with it other hand so they are 'even'. It's weird, but I know how you feel.

-if I'm looking at the floor I almost have I force myslf to step on a line, I can't help but to not step on the lines/cracks.
-I like staring at textured walls and ceilings and watching shapes just appear and change, it's really cool!

I'll add more later.

I'm fairly certain that I'm the only person working at my bookstore that gives an honest opinion about bad books.

And if I misspell while taking notes, I scratch the word out so that it is completely obscured. It's like I'm trying to hide the evidence, but failing.

I do that too and some times when some one bumps into me I have to bump right back into that same person with my other hand

when I walk on a sidewalk I try to only make my foot step on it once so randomly my friends see me jump to the other piece of concrete with one foot

I also used to have to double back where I came from the exact way I came. This was when I was little and haven't ever been on a hike before ya wasn't happy after that.

I twist my hand in a 360

I can't snap with my left hand so I sometimes snap by pulling on my middle knuckle with my middle and ring finger's knuckle

chug hot sause

Ride my bike in the mall and get chased out (greatest thing ever)

Think up white racist jokes when I am white

I never study for anything

I never plan but I looks like I did because I did something cool

Sometimes I really see the 3rd person veiw of me.

watch the ceiling

just being Uber random

play as Pichu

Do things on a whim

fall asleep on the floor.

I can sleep with my eyes open

I do that too! it's really weird, it's like your unconscious and then conscious but you were conscious the whole time:ohwell:

~I like to just lay on the floor just cuz and sometimes I fall asleep.....

~Sometimes if Im drinking mile especially Ill rotate my glass so that I don't drink from the same spot twice, idk why but it's just weird for me to drink in the same place twice.

Watch out of a window for 2 hours straight and not being slightly bored.
Best thing I saw was the tree in the Majora's Mask moon. I was in awe.

I rotate my glass too.

Sometimes, if I'm bored, I will rub my fingernails with my fingertips, but always across the whole nail, never part of it. It would bother me to not finish rubbing a nail.

Guess I'm not alone in my being crazy. :D Of course, things get more complicated than what I explained before. I can't step on lines. It started as just cracks, but it's evolved in time to be more. When I walk, I'm constantly creating a mental grid of lines that I have to step around. Corners of buildings send out lines. So do cracks in curbs. Even things like gutters on buildings, and window edges. It's hard to explain, and at its root is pretty arbitrary. I can ignore it if I look straight ahead, but it's hard to sustain the level of concentration the whole time. It's funny that in places I travel a lot, I've got well-established plans for where to step.

lmfao, I like this thread so far.

Around my school, I'm known as the guy who solves Rubik's cubes in under 20 seconds, but what people don't know is that I have mad freestyle skills.

ps. I don't have mad freestyle skills.

CREEEEEEEEEEEEPY!!! I kinda do the same thing, but when im in a hallway or something or at the grocery store, I kind off try to avoid stepping on an open space, like if there is a wall, opening, wall, I will try to take the biggest step I can to make the other wall. So don't worry scott, your not crazy:)

Yep, I'll start noticing it takes X steps to go on a a square or something, and then I start counting them in my head. Or if it's too small like a gutter, then I make sure I only step on it once, then something else once with my other foot.

Yep, I do the same thing. If I scratch my right knee, I scratch my left, etc. It just isn't fulfilling if I don't do it. I used to be pretty bad at it as a kid, but it's calmed down a bit.

-Like's a giant robot with a giant mustache even though it has no form of AMBAC what so ever.
-Finds a way to slip in Mecha anime Jargon into every thing I say. Especially with the Macross term "YEARK DECULTURE" when in disbelief.

OK, on games MAAAAYBE that's REALLY OCD.......

~Sometimes when im in the car (as a passenger) I just imagine like these objects that like jump from lamp post to lamp post, or the just run down the street, or a blade going as fast as the car just cuts down all the plants avoiding metal. It's just SO weird but I can't help myself I just see these things, not like I think they are real, but I don't even see color in these things, or anything, hey are just figments of my mind that I can't help myself to make......

I have OCD so there is probably a long list of things...

But when I walk on tiles I have to walk on them in the same pattern that a knight would travel in chess >_>

Nobody notices though because I don't have to change my stance or anything lol

I also do a lot of symmetrical things like if my right arm touches something, I have to touch it with the left. I suppose you can also see it in the way I color my posts XD
