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.

Ooooooh yes!
This is my element this! As a mild Tourettes "sufferer" (Sadly, not the random swearing/outbursts kind & more the "Minor facial tic"), I also display mild tendancies of the other linked dis-orders, Autism, Aspergers, AD(H)D & of course, OCD! It's so mild, that it's never affected my work or social life (if anything, it's improved them!)

When I worked in a restaraunt for instance, you were guaranteed the most aysemmetric table settings you ever did see, & when I knock something with my elbow accidentally, I then have too (discreetly) knock the same thing with the other one. If I scratch a part of my body, I then get 3 (no more, no less) itches on other various body parts! The one that people really seem to notice though, is my eating habits! The 3 main ones are Subways, Regular Sandwiches & Peas, Beans, Sweetcorn & Sesame Seeds!

With Subways, no matter what I get, I always have the same salad (All salad, no olives, a few chilli's, loads of gherkins) Then it's cut into two, & on one half, I pick off & eat all the salad (Except the onions) then on other half, just the gherkins. I then have to decide which half I'm going to put crisps on!

With Regular Sandwiches, I eat them as normal, but tear off one side of the crust (The bit that's on top of the loaf) & then peel it! Getting as many layers off as I can before it's just the blackish bit left. Then I eat that, because it's the tastiest bit of any sandwich!

With peas, beans, sweetcorn & sesame seeds, it's fairly similar, I have to take a couple out randomly & peel off the skin/shell, consume the inner part & then eat the shell! With sweeetcorn & sesame seeds, you have to squeeze them just right so they pop out the innards before you can go to work on them!

Quite annoyingly, my house being a shit-hole doesn't bother me.

Length? Fuck off, If I did, it would have to be to the nearest millimeter!

Did an actual medical professional tell you you had those tendencies?

I suspect the internet may have been involved.

What a nasty cynical man that Woodside is.
Everybody knows that www.amiautism.com is entirely reputable.
