Other than FF, do you have any weird little quirk that you consider OCD'ish?

This question was sparked by me sitting here eating Veggie Straws. Anything that I eat that has multiple colors (M&Ms, Skittles, Veggie Straws, etc.) I have to eat them so that there are equal numbers of each color. If there is more of one color I will eat all of those first, then the color with the second most, until I have an equal number of each color and then will eat one of each color until they are all gone.

Not super, OCD, but quirky.

I don't think I have any OCD tendencies, though sometimes I wish I did.

Me too! DH sometimes will grab like three of the same color to eat just to screw with me.

What's a veggie straw?

They are potato straw things that are flavored/colored with tomatoes and spinach (so there are white, green, and orange). They remind me of crispier french fries and not nearly as bad for me. I buy a giant bag of them at Costco for $4!!

I do the same thing with multi colored food.

I'm also a little OCD/quirky about the way I leave my desk at work. At the end of each day, every thing has to go back in its place. Not just in its place, but at the right angle, or in the right order (blue pen, then black pen, then highlighter). I can't walk away from my desk if everything is not in its exact place, and I know if someone has come along and disturbed anything. Should it get disturbed, I have a minor anxiety attack.

My OCD is with the volume on the TV, if there are numbered valued on the TV I have to have it on an even number or denominations of 5. These numbers are okay: 25, 14, 8, 32. These numbers are not okay: 13, 11, 29, 27. DH thinks I'm silly.

I eat those things in rainbow order, so I'll eat 1 red, 1 orange, 1 yellow, etc. until I get to the end and then I go back and start again. Even if I only have 3 left, I'll eat them in rainbow order. It seems so natural to me, but writing it down makes me look certifiable. :0)

If I'm sitting in a meeting and I find that something is asymmetrical, I become distracted by it and can't focus on anything the rest of the meeting.

Haha... I hate it when things are asymmetrical!

I used to work with a girl that did that with her desk. There were a couple times that coworkers would come in after she left for the day and move just 1 thing out of place to mess with her. I have to admit it was kinda funny to watch her reaction the next morning. I know, I'm a horrible person.

I have to do things in even numbers (checking the alarm, making sure the stove is off, my tv volume has to be even, etc).
