Below is a list of the many OCD habits I’m prone to.  I have many, so rest assured – no matter how many are shown below, more will continue to be added as I realize they exist.

1. Whenever I eat a meal at home, I almost always have two drinks, usually a glass of milk and a soda of some type.  When I sit down to eat, the milk must be on the right, and the soda on the left.
2. After I take a shower, I dry off in the same pattern each time, then always hang the towel up the same way to dry.
3. I only make my bed right before I get in it each night.
4. I can’t fall asleep unless I’m on my right side.  However, if I wake up in the middle of the night, I can roll over onto my left side and fall asleep then.
5. My DVD collection must always be alphabetized.
6. I always clean my glasses in the same order: two swipes on the outside left, two swipes on the inside left, two swipes on the outside right, and two swipes on the inside right.  Repeat as needed.
7. I wear two rings everyday, one on each ring finger.  Whenever I put them on in the morning, I always put on my college ring first (because it’s the most important), followed by the other.
8. I have eaten sandwiches the same way for as long as I can remember.  I mentally divide the sandwich into three rows and eat one row at a time, further dividing each row into two sections, with the exception of the third row which is divided into three sections.
9. When I eat french fries or pieces of small candy, I have to have at least two at a time.  If I get to the bottom of a bag of M&M’s and there is only one left, I’ll either give it to a friend or throw it away.
10. No matter what I do, I am always grammatically correct to the best of my ability.  Whether it’s writing an email, instant messaging, text messaging, etc., I always use proper punctuation and capitalization.  To that end, it grates on my nerves when others do not.
11. When I use tabbed browsing for the internet, the tabs must be arranged in a specific order depending on the pages that are open.  If I’m not using a tabbed browser, they must still be listed on the taskbar in that same order; if one somehow gets closed, I have to close every window and open them again in the correct order.
12. I am meticulous about the organization of my music and videos in iTunes.  Through a large number of folders, playlists, and smart playlists, I am able to categorize every piece of media I own in order to better organize it.
13. My books are organized first by author, then by chronological order if in a series, or by alphabetetical order if no series is present.
14. I always drink from the same spot on a cup once I start drinking.  The starting point can change, but once I start my lips don’t touch any other area.
15. When I mix hot dogs in with my macaroni, I make sure that every bite has only one piece of hot dog in it.  I try my best to make sure even the last bite has its own piece of hot dog, and if it doesn’t I feel sad.
16. On the rare occasion that I have cash in my wallet the bills must always be rightside up, facing the same direction, not folded or creased in any way, and sorted from smallest bill to largest.
