I bet when you pump gas your ok with pumping something like $64.09 in gas to aren't you?

Because that's one of mine I always have to pump an even dollar amount. I believe it stems from my teenage years because back then I used to pay for everything with cash.

I have to pump it at with out the cents. Unless I am filling up the whole tank, but if I am just filing up a little bit it has to be that way.

Yeah, that's what I meant I just worded it wrong. I should have said pump it to a whole dollar amount.

I fall asleep to director commentaries on movies or some random Internet podcasts. The sound of someone else talking about an interesting topic soothes me, even if I've heard it before. Probably not the weirdest thing that I do, but I know a lot of people don't do that.

Also if I plop on the couch or on top of my covers for a nap, I have no problem sleeping with my shoes on. But if I decide to take my shoes off, my socks have to go as well. Actually come to think of it, I never like wearing just socks. The shoes always seem to come with them.

And like a thread once suggested, I too find myself sometimes showering without soap. It doesn't always seem necessary, and I've gotten many more positive remarks on how I smell with just shampooing, conditioning, deodorizing, and colognizing (? lol).

I'm the same way, except factors of five are acceptable as well. So 2, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16... you get the picture.

My alarm time always ends with a 2

When I microwave food the time must end with a 2

I hate the numbers 6, 19, & 21

I'll go out of my way to avoid making a u-turn. I think this stems back from when I was younger groing up with my dad who drives a Semi.

...

I don't allow anybody to ever touch my hat. When my hat is not in use, I hide it.

...

I have to have my bed made before I get in it. Even if it was messed up all day, I'll make it before I get into it.

...

When I count I always skip the number 13. Always.

I have to have a fan on to sleep. I won't fall asleep in silence.


I have to sleep with my head in between 2 pillows.


I can't keep my feet still. Even when falling asleep, I'm tapping my foot. Drives my g/f insane.


I always flush the toilet in mid-pee.

Very similar. The temperature, radio volume, TV volume etc... must always end in a 5 or 0. As an example - my car volume is always on 10 or 15 or 20. So if 15 is too low, I automatically put it to 20 or 25.

I also have a strange habit of adding numbers I see for no apparent reason. If I look at the clock and it says 10:23, I'll often look at it and think: 10 + 23 = 33, 1 + 0 + 2 + 3 = 6 etc... Or while driving down the road and I see a sequence of numbers, I'll add them together (ie: 65 mph speed limit sign near a 45 miles to Pittsburgh sign and I'll think 110). Or if someone is talking to me and says is today the 26th or 27th? I'll think 53 in my head as I tell them what day it is. I don't do this all the time though...more frequently than one might think. Very strange...I know.
