Bizarre habitsSandettie 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.

Autism ahoy!I'm not autistic, but I do have the odd habit of constructing equations whenever I see three numbers presented together. That used to happen all the time with the old numberplates, but now it's mainly restricted to house numbers and bus routes. It has to be three numbers; I won't touch four or five or any of that bullshit.
For example, if there's a house number 389, then the equation could be 3x8 = (9x3)-3.
The rules are odd and necessarily arbritrary. For example, I can use each number as many times as I want; I can't use a '1'; I'm not allowed to just subtract two consecutive numbers to make a '1'; I have to use all the numbers etc etc and then this is wrapped up with a bizarre sense of fair play - 'that's not right, I'm cheating myself doing that' or something similar.
Also, if I do a su doku puzzle I always leave the 8s blank until the end, and then spend a couple of pleasant seconds swooshing the pen and filling them all in in one tour of the grid.
