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.

My brother constantly does 'equals'
We had a phase of it as kids, but I grew out of it and he didn't.
The idea is that both sides of your body have to be 'equal', so if you brush one elbow against a wall or stroke a dog with one hand you have to do the other too.
I like to gently touch his forearm as I walk past. Not only does he then feel compelled to 'equal' it by, say, touching the exact corresponding spot on the other forearm against a doorpost, he then has to blow the germs off both arms in turn. This can go on for a minute or two until he's all equal again.
I stand by, pointing and laughing. We're both over 50.
