What are your Obsessive Compulsive tendencies?

Question

I have not been diagnosed with OCD, nor do I think I have OCD. But everyone has obsessive tendencies - even if they are very small. 

For example, I like the papers in my recycle bin at work to be STRAIGHT. If someone haphazardly folds a piece of paper and tosses it in my bin, I will unfold it and place it squarely on top of the pile.

When I shower, I always lather in the exact same pattern. Left arm first, then shoulders, then right arm... and so on.

I will often write and re-write things if I feel my printing isn't neat enough or if I make an error. I sometimes edit posts two or three times before I am satisfied with the wording. Poor spelling and grammar drive me mental.

I'm sure there are more, but I can't think of them off of the top of my head.

So! I'm wondering what YOUR obsessive compulsive tendencies are.

I am not sure if I have OCD but I prefer to walk to the kitchen sink rather than lick the envelopes before closing and mailing them. And my Guinness must be really ice cold before I drink it otherwise I can wait. And oh, if I have beer before dinner,  tapa or gambas (a dish of sauteed shrimps with lots of garlic and onions) normally goes with my favorite brew.

I blink alot (I do wear contacts)... And clear my throat alot. I am not really a perfectionist.. Just a freak of nature. I had worse quirks when I was in junior high.. This sounds crazy, but it was a "superstitious thing"... I would do things 7 times, or I was afraid that if I didn't, I would get my period (which I was SOOO scarred of getting.) Do I sound crazy or what?? Eventually the "rag" came, and I got over most of my quirks as I aged.

I wash my hands like all the time. They start feeling sticky.
