my friends think it's weird that I can drink warm soda.

I like cold, flat soda. It sickens me though when I think of why I like it.

Unlike some people in here, I try to be barefoot as much as I can, which I don't consider weird. The only exception to this is school, because I wear combat boots there.

I always lick the flavouring off potato chips. And whenever I'm drinking, I always down my drinks in one giant gulp. I just can't seem to be able to enjoy a drink without downing a whole glass. Which is why I stop drinking after just three glasses of gin & tonic.

I like to alphabetize my stuff.

I wash my hands too often.

I always drink about 3/4 of a can of soda, then dump the rest.

I also never put my feet on my furniture and always have to correct people when they put their feet up at my place.

I also almost immediately change clothes when I come home from somewhere, not only because I'm cautious of where I sat but also because I enjoy my casual clothes at home.

Hm. Have you been diagnosed with OCD? ._.

And in contrast, I find that I almost never bother washing my hands. And no, I don't get sick often. Hardly ever sick, in fact. It's strange.

Whenever I walk my dog on the leash, I spit on everything. I'll spit about thirty or fourty times in five minutes. It's getting to the point that I do it even when I'm just outside.

I do this quite a bit too. I've always wondered if my saliva glands are hyperactive, but I have no frame of reference. Then again, this doesn't explain why I choose to expectorate when I don't have to.

It might be allergens. I always spit all the time when it would get warm out.

Glad to see it's not a completely isolated incident then.

I also hate to admit this, but I start to tear up and occasionally cry actual tears while reading comic books or hearing theme songs for kids shows I loved in the Eighties, or even stranger, think about stuff in my RPG games my wife and I run. Also to a lesser extent when I drive for more than four hours at a clip.

When I eat a freezie, I cut off the top, then round off the edges. Otherwise it irritates the sides of my mouth.

I have a lot of them. A lot.

I always drink everything in one go as fast as I can. I've gotten to a point where I can down a 1 liter bottle of water in a matter of seconds.

I always space out my steps when I'm walking so I don't step on any cracks or in the spaces between tiles. Also, if the tiles are multicolored, I choose a color to step on and I only step on that color.

I have to wear my hat whenever I'm out.

I'm always adjusting my clothes.

When I'm sitting idly, I wiggle my ears.

When I see myself in the mirror I have to make a bunch of faces at myself.

I always crack my fingers.

I obnoxiously click my pens over and over and over again when I'm bored.

When I'm eating M&M's or Skittles, I eat them one color at a time. Like, I'll eat all the blue ones and no other color and then moved on to another after meticulously searching for all the blue ones.

When I'm sitting, I shake my left leg. Always.

I eat everything one at a time and I never let my foods mix.

If I have to set an alarm to wake me up. I always have to double check it 5 or 6 times to make sure it didn't magically turn off by itself.

I always have one arm on top of my pillow when I'm sleeping.

If there's a push door, I always have to kick it open.

I put things off until the last minutes even if I want to get them done right then.

I take extremely long showers.

Also about showering, while I'm showering I have to continuously check behind the curtain in case someone is watching me.

I always forget if I'd said something out loud or just thought about it and a lot of times end up repeating myself.

If it weren't for school, I'd sleep in until 1 PM every day.

When going down the stairs I always skip the last step.

When going up the stairs I skip every other step.

When going up the stairs in private I go up on all fours.

That's all I can think of right now but I'm sure that's more than enough to satisfy you people.

Holy shit, are you me? Aside from the skittles color thing and shower stalker I do all of that other stuff either all the time, or most of the time.

Don't worry, I do these too, all the time. The stairs thing mainly because it's faster, and because my legs are really long (I'm six-foot-four).

My parents (specifically my mother) would get after me because I would run down the stairs really quick. She wasn't concerned about my safety, so much as she was worried I was going to tear the carpet loose from the stairs.

My mom gets mad at me going down the stairs because when I go down, it's always really loud.

I cant drink tap water, it must be filtered or purified

I talk to myself and my food when I'm cooking

when eating pizza pops I suck out the filling before I eat the shell

I constantly check my cell phone for texts

After cracking my knuckles I crack my wrist by grabbing my hand and rotating at the wrist, I'm always afraid I'm gonna snap my own wrist.

I freak out when I forget to buy a ticket for a Mega Millions or Power Ball drawing. I get worried I missed my only chance to win.

Just imagine how much expired novelty food from the 80s you could buy with that kind of dough!

You could pour it all in to an inflatable swimming pool in your basement and swim around in like Scrooge McDuck!

Someone recently pointed out to me that this is apparently "weird", and it made me wonder what everyone else's odd habits are:
When I'm not wearing shoes, normally only happens around the house, and I drop something small while standing, I just grab the item with my foot to pick it up. It never struck me as odd because I've always used my feet/legs as extra arms when possible (Such as when I had to collect carriages in the parking lot of a grocery store years and years ago when I was a bagger). It just makes sense to me to pick things up with my feet when possible since it's faster than bending over.

I do this too. My roommates once screamed at me and stormed out(they were self-described neat freaks) when I picked up a dirty fork between my toes.

Also, if I'm at a bar and drinking beer, but the designated driver, but there's no food or gum or cigarettes or anything, I'll swish a bottle cap or can tab around in my mouth to keep me from drinking more. I've seen people visibly cringe when they hear a bottle cap clack against my teeth.

Dude picking things up with your feet isn't weird, it's a sign of good dexterity and sharp eye hand (I mean foot) coordination. You are superior to all those lower beings that bend over to retrieve things off the ground. (But only really when it comes to said retrieval. In all other areas you may be average.)
