That quirky thing about yourself that no one knows...

[Lieslntx]

Anything that has a digital volume control, the volume has to be an even number. And if I can help it, it'll be a multiple of 4.

I base a lot of stuff on multiples of four, too. Am I not alone? Always thought that was too weird to mention to anyone, and then along came this thread ...

I have to have everything in multiples of an odd number. Anything with an even number just creeps me out.

I can have one kiss, but not two. It's one or three or nothing. The two-cheek kiss freaks me out.

Same thing with steps when I'm walking. When I take that last step before entering a door, it needs to be an odd number. I will adjust my stride as I get closer to make this happen.

And yes, very often I count my steps when I walk.

Outing alert: Deskslave is apparently my wife.

Completely freaks her out to have the volume on an odd number. ALWAYS has to be even.

I have to have my receiver on decibel levels in increments of 2.5s.

I stop the microwave, toaster and clothes dryer before their time/cycle end because buzzers, dings and toast popping up startles me.

I do an awesome Donald Duck voice.
I can't just throw dirty, unwashed dishes into the dishwasher. Just can't. Even if I don't have the time, I have to at the very least rinse the dishes before putting them in.
I have this weird thing about counting, with everything having to end in 5 or 0. Like lies, I count my steps. It pisses me off if I get to the end of a street and I'm on step 47. I'm fine with 45 or 50 (or any other number ending with 5 or 0). Also, when I see words on a page or sheet, whether it be lyrics to a song displayed at church or a short note, I count the words. If I get to the end of a page and the number ends in 5 or 0, I stop counting. If not, I keep counting on the next page.

I will drive quite far out of my way (as I just did) to get a fountain soda (and it must be Coke) rather than one in a bottle or can. I just went to the grocery store to get a sub for lunch. I then went to the gas station to get a fountain soda. The fountain was broken. But I would not concede defeat. I drove into town with the intention of finding another gas station, but I spotted a Subway and I was golden.

Also, I will not eat sandwiches from Subway. But I'll take Coke and cookies from there any time.

OCD is no stranger to this bunch ...

Bills in my wallet are organized by denomination with the highest amounts in front.

And that's how you know I'm not a journalist anymore.

I keep total old man hours. I'm up at 4 a.m., lunch as early as 11, dinner as early as 5 or so. Lights rarely on past 9:45.

When I let my alarm time slip to anyone, they seriously freak the fork out. I'd have an easier time justifying a crack habit.

I have never operated a video game system nor do I have any interest in them.

I'm in the same vein as you. Monday-Friday, I'm up at 4:45, go do PT from 6-7, go home to get cleaned up, work from 8:30-4:30 or so, head home. Usually I'm in bed by 10. Sleeping in for me on the weekends is like 7 or 8 a.m.
