    I've been thinking, most of my strange habits relate to sleeping.

    I have to have the room as dark as possible, preferably pitch black. If the TV is on standby or my laptop/ phone is on charge I have to get up and unplug them or put something over them so that I can't see the little LED shining. And if the curtains aren't shut properly, I have to get up and do that too. I always switch the light off outside my room before I go to bed, but sometimes the lass next door comes back and puts it on, so I have to have a rolled up towel at the bottom of the door to stop light shining through. I also can't sleep if there is the slightest noise.

    Another weird one is... there's been this bottle of chinese vinager in the kitchen since I moved in here in September. Someone obviously left it there when they moved out. I really want to throw it away cos it irritates me seeing it every day, but I have this weird feeling that if I throw it out, something bad will happen to me!

    Me too.:lol: Some people (NASSER) find it funny to mess things up to annoy me. :p

    God help anyone who messes up my post-its. :mad:

    I also hate odd numbers, which means I have to eat 2 of everything, if possible. :oops:

    Also I'm like Dragon in that I can't sleep if the room is light or there's the slightest bit of noise (except my clock ticking, which I need :spangled: ) though I'm not as bad as I used to be for that.

    Every morning when I have a drink I have to throw the last inch or down the sink for good luck. :lol:

    most people who have worked a till will keep this good habit with them for life

    :lol: It's the only noise I can stand. Though I am getting better as I sleep with my window open so there's always noises from outside..

    Pretty foul, but picking things is my worst habit.. mud off shoes, my nose, my eyes, my feet, the stuff from under my nails, dried glue... the worst is picking my nails off and using them to pick my teeth after dinner.. ends of cigarette boxes work equally as well...

    I also hold a pen like a 5 year old hold a felt tip..

    Scratching my back is another one.. even better when a girls doing it :love:

    I bite the inside of my mouth when I'm bored.
    I can't stand it when my fingernails are dirty or my hands I'm constantly washing them at work.
    When I'm at home I can't sit properly on the sofa I have to lie down or stretch them out.
    I never go for a no 2 anywhere else but my own home.
    When I'm stressed I scratch my legs for ages till they bleed.

    I rub my lip with my finger and suck my tounge when im tired. I've done it since i was a kid, must be a comfort thing.

    I also always have to rub my feet togther in bed, so cant wear socks!

    I always have to be matching, eveything, form underwear to belts and makeup....its really bad! I dont understand why/how people go out of the house, not matching!

    I have to have the bed made really neat, cud never get into an un-made bed!

    Im well weird! Lol. :oops:
