I've got a few of these...
I have to eat sweets e.g. Skittles, Smarties, Fruit Pastilles etc in order of inverse colour preference. i.e. yellow first, then green, orange, red and finally, the nicest ones - black/purple.

This is kind of true of most meals as well, and if it's something like a roast, I always like to have my last mouthful having at least one little bit of each constituent of the meal.

I hate having anything greasy or sticky on my hands. I end up washing my hands about 15 times whenever I cook a meal, and I'm physically incapable of putting my hand inside one of those huge bags of crisps (like the big Dorritos or Kettle Chips bags).

I've got a weird one where if I've just finished having a shower, and I turn the water off, the water that's on the shower control is somehow 'dirty', and I have to rinse it off again with the last dribble that comes out of the shower head.

Christ, I'm starting to realise i'm actually quite mental sometimes...

I found myself feeling quite agitated for a few days whenever I was down the pub with my mate Chris. I couldn't figure out why for a long time, and then I realised what it was.

His jacket had epaulettes on it with a popper fastener, and a little belt loop type thing that it was supposed to go under. One of them had obviously been pulled out at some time, and he'd popped it back in place, but without threading it under the loop.

As soon as I realised, I had to un-pop it, and re-do it properly, with the epaulette going under the loop bit.

He was understandably a bit bemused by the whole affair, but I actually felt a huge wave of relief wash over me, and I could finally properly relax in his presence again.

I think I am a proper mental.

the sweet thing too. Except I leave the green ones til last.

In the case of smarties..
orange goes last. You're spot on with the skittles though. But anyone who thinks that green is the best in any sweets is clearly mental

I used to do the smartie thing
When I was about 8 years old. Now I'm too much a fatty to bother organising my sweets and just cram handfuls of them into my gaping maw indiscriminately.

The Mackintosh one's even worse where most people just twist it round and tie a knot, it's becoming increasingly difficult to resist reaching over to thread it through the loops properly and use the buckle.
