I can easily pop both of my thumbs in and out of their sockets.

Quirky people, apparently. I don't like candy that doesn't have chocolate, and even that is just ok.

I count the steps when I walk up stairs. If I'm feeling anxious I will touch the pads of my fingers to my thumb but it always has to start with the index finger. I start with my pinky AND I also count the steps on the stairs ( What if I go blind one day! I will need this information.)

I won't go in the out door, or out the in door. It seems to frustrate people who think they're being kind and holding a door open for me. Cans and bottles must be properly faced. I can't sleep if any of my pig figurines is looking at me.

I can't say "sword" without pausing to think about how to pronounce it correctly first.

When pumping gas I must stop with .00 - no pennies!

I pre-pay my gas (and am almost always making another purchase with it), so i'll get a funky amount of gas to make my entire purchase come out to an even dollar amount.

Cans and bottles must be properly faced. Agreed. I worked in retail before and I still catch myself facing product when I'm shopping. I also collect rocks and have since I was old enough to walk. I even have 9 of them on my shelf in my office that have fossils in them. They go nicely with my PEZ dispenser collection.

I can't say "sword" without pausing to think about how to pronounce it correctly first. I think "'S' Words", which are words that begin with the letter "S". Mr. Connery, it's your turn." My quirks - all clocks in the house have to match, exactly. Cars too. When we lose power, it drives me nuts. - one foot out when I sleep - Eat all of one type of food at a time when eating (except for salads, I can mix my food when I eat salad ) My favorite radio stations are programmed in my car numerically rather than which I listen to most frequently. Me too!

I do the sleep with one foot out, I think the radio in order comes from the age when the buttons on the radio actually moved the dial.

I can only listen to my car radio when I am alone.

When the light is off I want the light switch down, when it is on I want it up. Have a light in our house with three switches and this doesn't work - drives me NUTS.
When I eat a meal whatever I think is the best tasting thing on my plate - I save a bite of that for last - eating my least favorite thing first. My husband makes amusing comments on that one.
I have everything ready for the morning the night before - all clothes out - makeup out - coffee ready (just need to switch it on). Saves me time in the morning.
I also eat M&M's (or Skittles - not my cat) by color with least favorite color first - and I eat them in pairs. If there is an odd number I'll eat one first and then go to pairs.
OMG - I am extremely quirky.

i count...everything. Cars on the road, steps to the elevator, door, other departments, from my car to the store, in the store, books on the shelf, canned goods, steps when running, revolutions when pedaling, people in the department, in lines, seats in movike theaters, rows in movie theaters...i can tell you the number of spans on every bridge i cross to and from work, the number of traffic lights, street lights, major intersections and minor intersections i cross...
no idea why...
