1. Probably but I'm so out of it I'm unconscious of it.
I do habitually tell other divers on the road how badly they drive.

2. Might not qualify, but I MUST park in the same numbered area at my grocer's.

10. Ha...too many to mention here.
I am definitely OCD and have been for years. I cant even recall now but at the time I definitely know I'm doing it.

11. I count the number of times the phone rings.
Whether I'm dialing or it's an incoming call. Can't stop, even if I catch myself doing it. :crazy:

Might have something do do with counting beats in a measure while learning new songs or counting for tricky breaks or hard stops.

12. I count the rings when I'm trying to get to it before the answering machine kicks in.

14. I wash my hands. ALOT.
I've gotten over my compulsion of checking to make sure my letter slid down into the mailbox.

16. I eat M&Ms in a particular order.
Keep the number of each color even, work cold colors to warm. So if I have four blue (which I hate anyway because cold colors taste funny to me), three red and two yellow, I'd eat two blue, one red, then a blue, red, yellow, blue, red, yellow.

It's just better that way, oh-KAY???

I also don't like eating off of cool color plates but I'll do it. A yellow or red plate is my idea of heaven.
