Do you have a weird OCD habit?
Some strange OCD habits that I have are, when I'm watching television the volume has to go up by 2s, or multiples of 2 so, 2,4,6,8,10,12 etc. HOWEVER when I'm listening to the radio in the car it has to go up by 5s so, 5,10,15,20.
Another weird habit that I do is that for e.g if I accidentally bang my left foot against the wall or something, i have to bang my right foot to make it feel "even". However if i banged my right foot too hard trying to make it even, I have to bang my left foot again to try to balance it out LOL.
I also have the tendency to check things twice so like if I go and lock the door, and I come back into bed I'll think to myself "what if I accidentally opened the door when I tried to lock it", then I'll have to go back and check. Maybe that's more of paranoia.
So what odd OCD do you guys suffer from?

I do all of those except the volume. I thought I was the only one who has to make my feet touch things "evenly" (hands too in my case).

I do something similar! Whenever I'm walking on the pavement I sometimes count the steps in between the lines. " one two one, one two one, one two one, one two one."

At work, I have to have my desk clean and clutter free, my coworkers drive me crazy when they put things in it and I don't know what it is.

I used to do that, specially since I have a fast strut but now I don't even notice, I just walk fast.

TV Volume has to end in a 0, 5 or 7.
I have to close an open door, open doors annoy me so much.
I can't eat with cutlery if the handles don't match

I don't even know where to start, I do a lot of weird ****.. Like, I'll close the refrigerator, then be about to go back upstairs, but I'll go back and check to make sure I really closed it, and keep doing double takes making sure I really closed it. Lawd..

I'm the same! I like my desk neat and tidy. I only do this occasionally, but I like to stack my books so the corners all match up LOL so there's no bumpy ends!

Nnnn all three of those in the OP are EXACTLY me. I have different volume nuances for each device, and definitely need to make each side of my body feel "even."
The checking locks thing is the worst though. I always check my door like 3 times, and then at least once a week I'll be halfway to class already and have to run back to my dorm because I'm POSITIVE I left it unlocked And then I check constantly throughout the day to make sure I still have my keys

▼Making sure all my emails are read.
▼If I have a bunch of pens/pencils etc. out on a table they all need to be neatly placed side by side pointing in the same direction.
▼If I'm wearing black I literally have to make sure there is not one foreign object/dust/fur etc. on it, it makes me anxious. So I spend ages using my lint roller making it spotless, and I bring it with me.
▼I find it very distressing when I have to share cutlery, plates and cups with other people/family/friends, causing me to spend ages making sure its extremely clean and 'safe' to use.

I close my laptop if the webcam is in view of me cuz I feel like someones watching me? Is that weird?
I do check things twice, as well, just in case lmao. I also have to chew on both sides of my mouth, to make the amount on my teeth even...Idk how to explain it lmao if I rub one eye, i have to rub the other, too.
If I'm eating and drinking something together, the last chug of the drink needs to be after all the food is done.
I HAVE to make a beat in my head everytime I walk to go with the rhythm of my steps

I wash my hands way too much. Way, way, way too much. And I don't let kids touch me if they haven't washed their hands. I used to babysit two girls ages 11 and 6 and as soon as I got to their house I'd make them wash their hands, if they tried to hug or touch me in any way I'd make them wash their hands, when they picked out a wedgie I'd make them wash their hands etc. They complained about it but still loved me
