This is a question Bizarre habits

Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "Until I pointed it out, my other half use to hang out the washing making sure that both pegs were the same colour. Now she goes out of her way to make sure they never match." Tell us about bizarre rituals, habits and OCD-like behaviour.

A few from me,
I have to check my emails as soon as I can. First page I check is my emails when I log in and it's the last place I visit when I log out. No reason, I know there's usually nothing there.

Then there is the ongoing battle with the light switch to the basement. There is one at the top of the stairs and one at the bottom. When the light is off they should both point down. Someone in my house (presuming my father-in-law) keeps putting it the other way. Not sure if he does this on purpose or if he just uses the light going in one direction and turns it off when he goes the other way. Every few days I find myself having to correct the lights and walking up the stairs in darkness. Also I get driven crazy every time I look at the kitchen lights as one of them is upside down so they point in opposite directions when they are on. Plus the kitchen lights have to match the dining room lights as they are next to each other.

I have to set up my computer at work in a very particular way. I hate it when I move computers for a day and have to try and get everything set out just the way it was.

I eat skittles/smarties by grouping the colours together and then eating the lager groups until they are all even and then take 1 from each in a rotation. Tootie frooties however I save the red and purple ones until the end. It drives me crazy after I have finished all the other colours and then someone asks me for one. Sure, ask me when I only have the good ones left.

Eating in general, I have to eat each food separately. I start with my meat, then my veg and lastly my starch. Sometimes I will eat my starch before my veg, but never before my meat. Unless it's corn on the cob which I view as an appetizer. But not sweetcorn, sweetcorn is a veg and must be eaten after my meat.

Everything has to be an even number. except paper towels. I take 3 paper towels and then I take 2. No matter what size they are dispensed, 3 then 2. The only odd number I like is 5, the rest I don't like.

The other week I was at a training and there was a stack of wooden beams, some 10ft some 8ft. Some of the 8fts were under the 10fts so I started to unstack the piles and pull out the 8fts and then restack the 10fts so the were in line. there were 4 stacks, to make them fit into the create they were in and not leave too much of a gap I had to stack 3 rows vertically and 1 horizontally. I think I spent 15 minutes rearranging them when someone came over to ask what I was doing. I must look like a right wierdo to other people.

Sorry for lack of funnies.

have you been diagnosed yet?

Yes, you are a right fucking weirdo.
Everyone knows it's veg then starch and meat last. If you ate in the same room as me I would be forced to stab you. I can cope with people eating stuff in a crazy mixed up way, but I'm not sure I could watch someone eating in order, but THE WRONG ORDER.

I'm sort of with you on the light switches
I don't necessarily mind which direction is on or off but my parents had a double switch in their hall, one did the hall lights and one the landing (which also had a second switch upstairs). I always had to run up and down the stairs to make sure if both sets of lights were off the switches pointed in the same direction. Otherwise it's just messy.

if the light switches bother you THAT much...
get some of the touch sensitive ones with a little round button that you can either just tap to turn them off or you can get a little remote control...
About £30 I think but worth it for a complete mentalist.

You are Mr.Bean and I claim my £5
