I'm a "on the phone walker", I just can't stand still and have to walk around the house/office while talking.

I find myself circling the coffee table while having a chat on the phone, the missus hates it

Try and do everything at optimum efficiency.

Switching sockets off that have plugs in them is actually good practice and is safer, so it's actually worth doing.

But also annoying and inconvenient.

a hang over from having poor hearing, but have now had surgery to correct...I still say sorry/pardon a lot even though I probably heard the conversation. I annoy myself.

I have a thing for dimly lit rooms. So even during the day I'll have lights/lamps on in the house.

My uncle unplugs things and turns the switches off. It is a waste of time.

I sometimes get worried something is on fire, a whiff of smoke or something and I sometimes have to check everything is ok.
I had a fire in my house a few years ago. was nearly really bad.

I cant put socks out on the line unless they are pairs...there i said it..I knew I could..If they dont pair up within 3 washes they get tossed in the bin...

Another phone walker here. Just can't sit still at all, have to be moving constantly. Drives my housemate insane. Dunno why I do it.

Lol you are all mental!!

Although no more so than me, I nodded to at least 70% of these

If I have a bunch of change on the bar, I have to stack it all up neatly in piles of the same denomination. A mate of mine loves demolishing the little piles to wind me up.

I always check my pockets a horrendous amount of times when i'm out.

Even if i have my headphones plugged into my phone listening to music, i'll still check my pocket to make sure my phone is still there.

Then i do a little slap dance to check all the pockets to make sure everything is still there.

You're all mad

I had weird little OCD things when I was younger but have grown out of them. Some of the things mentioned in this thread sound bloody tiring.

There is a stretch of road about 15 minutes away where we can see our house in the distance - something I discovered by chance one day while in the car years ago as a kid. To this day, every time we drive past, I HAVE to say "(in a childish voice no less...) "I can see our house from here" because i have made it a good luck habit that should I forget to do it one day, something bad will happen.

One time I actually did forget and only remembered when I was nearly home - I turned back and did a 20-30 minute round trip to get to say it.
