inspired by san's wonky placemat...
do you suffer from OCDs or have any strange little quirks? i always find things like that fascinating. to get us started, mine are:
1) i only eat off plain plates and with plain cutlery
2) i can't stand being touched on the top of my head
3) i like beans, but i can't have them touching any other food stuffs

if given the choice between left and right I will always choose left if there are no other deciding factors
I can't stand cupboard doors or drawers being left open

 that's not a 'thing', that's just an observation...unless it actually scares you of course, and you come out in a sweat when you walk past a greggs

I have ocd but nowhere near as bad as i used to. if something touched my hands i didnt used to be able to eat it.
Now though if i get a plate out i never take the top one.and im very funny about things being clean.

1) When a DVD's playing I add up the numbers shown by the timer 
2) Can't stand people touching my face.
3) Can't eat sweetcorn if it's mixed with anything, but I can eat it on its own

I have mild OCD, no proper lights on and off 32 times or the world'll end, but if I tap my pinkie finger then my thumb, I have to tap my thumb and then my pinkie, then my thumb and then my pinkie twice, then my thumb again, then my pinkie then my thumb twice, then my pinkie again, then my thumb and pinkie together 3 times.
Same with any combination of fingers, of swinging legs, twitching toes, tapping feet, but strangely not with shrugging shoulders.

mine got so bad at one point i had to take medication because i could hardly eat anything and almost anything could make me have a panic attack if it wasnt done right. I still have them now and again though and get a bit obsessive.

god i have loads )might not suprise you)
main one is eating manners. DO NOT eat with your mouth open or talk when your mouth is full. I do not want to hear your lips slap together. Keep it shut and chew quietly. You can tell A LOT about someone by the way they eat. I rage inside even when people pass me in the street crunching crisps loudly.
2nd one is people wiggling their feet. I have to turn away, but then a little devil inside me tells me to look and it pisses me off.
loads more...

I don't think that makes you a weirdo, that annoys the hell out of almost everyone I think.

I used to have 3-4 showers a day
Now theres a couple of realy mild things, like If I don't feel safe or feel kind of insecure in a realy small way I press the lock button on my car key.
If someone puts cutelry on my plate and it touches the food it has to be changed.
Also, at my mums house I will only eat with one specific knife. There are no other ones, not even similar.

i pull my hair out. literally. tricotilomania or something like that. been doing it years.
i get panic attacks and i panic when i am going out and i end up thinking i am going to pass out (luke mob have both had experience of my wierdness)
I am not a fan of physical contact. i'm not a huggy person really, especially with people i have only just met.
i refuse to eat fruit with savoury food. its not right. its wrong.
i can't sleep with my tv off. i put it on a timer every night. if i wake up in the night i have tu turn it back on or i can't sleep. strangley this doesn't apply when i am on holiday so much.
i would rather sleep with all the doors unlocked than locked as i am not scared of people getting into my house, but i am petrified that someone got in earlier and i won't be able to get out when they attack.
i can't touch behind my knees or the insides of my elbows. every time i think about the backs of my knees i think about people cutting the boney bits with scissors amd i get a really funnt feeling that makes me cringe. i am thinking about it now.
i am pretty mental.

oh also, at trafic lights or when I'm waiting to get out at a junction or something; If I have to wait then I will go in and out of 1st gear to make sure I'm in first. I dont even think about it.
