Default Little quirks/obsessions you have

An icebreaker at an Autism training day I was at today made me create this thread. Basically, we were to say what obsessions we have/things that we always do.


So what's yours?


Mine is that nine times out of ten I always have to check the year a song I just listened to/film I watched was released. And I have a thing about ages, like if I'm reading about a celebrity I will always have to google how old they are lmao.

The obligatory volume having to be on an even number thing and I can’t eat a meal with a knife and fork that don’t match, I just can’t do it.

Before I go to bed at night, I turn off all of the plugs and lights and my laptop etc and then stand by the door and go around each one mouthing "OFF" in like a tune, there's eight things so I basically stand there going "offoffoff-off-off-offOFF" in the dark like a loon!

But, better than my house burning down I suppose eh!?

People will find it weird but I listen to music in monthly playlists. I have a playlist for each month (filled with songs that I've been listening to in the respective month throughout the years), and I only listen to the current month's playlist.
I associate songs with time of the year/seasons/memories and it feels very appropriate doing it like that lol (and it does make you miss the songs and love them even more each year). Yeah, it's that terrible

I constantly do reality checks to ensure I'm still 'here' and make sure I can think properly

Just little things like checking the time, counting my fingers, saying my birthday and saying where I am

ALSO omg

You know when you get up in the morning and then like sort your bed out, I just shake my duvet and put it back over to cover the bed, you know the little kinks in the duvet material? I have to put my finger in them and like "push them down flat" like I'm popping them, and could honestly stay there for hours doing it!

This is my heaven... Phwoar! :

Still makes more impact than the volume of BBUK crowd chants

I always wear a hat, even indoors.

And yes I have all my hair but people think I am hiding baldness.

I'm obsessed with making playlists for party's I never even plan on arranging. It's something I have done ever since I was a kid, in the days of making cds, bear in mind you could buy packs of 100 blank cds I would go through them in about a month making party play lists. Didn't even listen to them. Now I have Spotify I do it on that but I usually make seasonal play lists now like summer 2018 autumn 2018 etc
Also if I'm going to travel somewhere that is an hour away or more I panic if I haven't made a play list for it

Never even realised how odd that all is until now

But what it has left me with is a vast knowledge of music I'm very good at identifying a year a song was released etc

I used to collect all the now cds. I stopped at now 90 so every song before that I could identify for ages what now album it was on which Cd it was on whether it was the first or second I would be able to tell you what number track it was and which track was before and after it and for a long time I was obsessed with making playlists for the next now album up to the point I could fill a whole pad full of different drafts of it

I also have a strangely accurate memory when it comes to the x factor I can remember every detail. Less so nowadays as don't have a lot of care for it so not sure on 2015 to 2018 but the years before I remember every detail

I'm very strange just realised that!!

so many things. At uni there was a triangular shortcut of 20 yards to the main building, i never used it for 4 years preferring to go square and around (no one else did) and by never i mean never.

I never ate sweets or chocolate for 10 years (with no slips) for no reason.

Every time a finish a long car journey I squeeze the car wheel and say thanks to the car.

I say the same small poem in my head every night before going to sleep and have done so since 1999.

etc

I always forget whether I turned the heater off at work or my hair straightener off at home so I have to do something different each time I turn them off so that when I leave and get that panic of "Did I turn the heater off?" I remember that I knocked on the wall or said out loud turning it off etc etc

You will go bold if you constantly wear a hat.If you cover grass up and it gets no rain and sun on it, it dies, I'd imagine it's the same with hair.
