Polls and Surveys: Am I the only person who does this?

I have this strange habit where when I look at a tiled surface, I look at one square and then I look at the squares around it, and then the squares around that square, making a bigger and bigger squares. I keep making different shapes, patterns and boxes in my mind whenever I see tiles. Am I the only one who does this??

Update:

I guess I'm crazy then.

    It usually a tiled bathroom floor

    We used to have a patterned arborite on the bathroom wall that looked like cracked ice in an arctic sea. Staring at that every time I was in the washroom I began to see polar bears, seals, a Picasso version of Frankenstein's profile and even the Eiffel Tower.

    I've done that. When I was a kid, tiles used to make me see lines going the opposite way?? Blinds did something similar, when I stared at blinds they'd start to shake?

    I look at the next square and I just follow the lines. And them I just walk around the house playing with the tiles just stepping and skipping a few.

    I do that if I'm waiting somewhere with nothing to do like in a subway station or an office.

    You aren't crazy - it's a very mild form of OCD. I do similar things with shapes. It's harmless. :)

    This happens to me all the time except on a slightly more intense level

    Looks are soooo, not everything. Your qualities will shine through. There are guys out there, just like you, who are looking for that perfect girl. It's not looks as much as how you treat him, love him, make things special for him.

    Yeah but if I stare too long I start to have visions of Demons having buttsex

    I do that as well. I think of the patterns that could be made with the floors.
