+1 for this

Also:
When finished with a shower, I always push the tub/shower lever down and rinse my (already clean) feet in the ~2 seconds worth of water that's left before getting out.

just reminded me, I cant not pee in the shower

I always count down from a specific number before leaving the shower

I can't not stop talking to other people's golf balls when I play with them, even if I don't know them.
"get down"
"bite"
"hit something"

i can't stand it

Never up never in

Can't not troll the former online poker "pros" in NVG

Telling us what specific number you count down from would be getting too personal?

The splits

Seriously some of this **** I thought was unique to me but we're obviously all kinda ****ed up in our own way. I do **** like this all the time. When I am waiting to cross a road and a bus goes past I imagine stepping in front of the bus and what that collision would be like, like literally how far my body would fly off at that speed of impact. When on holiday at a cliff or something I imagine jumping off and what it would feel like. I am worried sometime my brain will accidentally do it.

I also do this with words. Like I will imagine on a really quiet bus just shouting out loud something ridiculous like "WILL EVERYONE PLEASE SHUT UP" at the top of my voice. I have never done it but I worry someday I will.

when a cat meows at me i always have to meow back at it

Maybe I should have used the word "random" instead of "specific" as it can vary. Sometimes I throw in five seconds of bonus time after I reach zero.

In the same vein, I don't think I've ever passed a cow when driving down the road without rolling down the window and mooing at it like an idiot. lol

Get super excited if I hear one back. Kind of my way of saying, "Sup! On my way right now, to feast on one of your brothers! Maybe between some bread today..."

When somebody says "at the end of the day" I like to interject "it's night". Even if I don't say it, I think it. I don't even find the joke that funny, it just appeals to my literal mind I guess.

Every time I say "uh oh..." I have to follow up with "... Spaghettios."

i hate your kind

This is without doubt best thing i've read in this bread

bread is yummy^

-empty my spam email
-when i am riding in a car, i look at license plates and do things with the numbers and letters. example NVG 429 in my brain would go "nine plus 2 is 11 plus 4 is 15. Good. 4 plus two is 6 times 3 is 36 plus 9 is 45 divided by 9 is five. Good."
-also when riding in a car, i do things with things that pass by, like telephone poles, and try to make everything seem evenly spaced apart in my head.

You guys have issues.

I used to think this about lots of stuff too, but prolly the most meaningful and life helping thing ive ever learned from the internet (and more specifically OOT) is that no matter what weird little thing I do that I think I might be the only one who does it, there are tons of other people that do it too.

I used to can't not do laundry without watching the washing machine fill up completely with water and start doing it's thing. I have since gotten over this but it lasted til I was in my early 30s.

Good? 4 + 2 = 6 X 3 = 36

clearly

I do this and last year discovered that the agitator was not agitating (easy fix, just needed agitator dogs replaced) which I never would have known otherwise.

i dont understand - what is the goal here? it seems like you're just doing random operations to the numbers (and getting them wrong as someone else mentioned).

also +1 to the wash-feet-at-end-of-shower post !! wasn't even conscious of the fact that I do this every time until you posted, except it's not so much a "rinse" for me as it is an OCD have to touch the water with both feet before it runs out

Also can't not do this if there is a slight chance that anyone can hear me.
