My phone volume goes by numbers. I cannot have it on an odd number - 4 is fine, 8 is OK, but God forbid I have my phone volume set on 7. eek

When sitting for any prolonged period of time I need to bounce my knee or I go crazy. Been like that since I was born I was told.

The clock in my bedroom is set ahead 15 minutes. I know it is set ahead. It does not cause me to get up any earlier.

I have to file things in chronological order. Any other organization system drives me nuts.

Mine is too. And my car clock is 4 minutes fast. This apparently causes great confusion for my children.

I can't use nail clippers. like, not just wont, but i dont know how. Apparently when i was a kid i hated them and made my mom use those little scissor nail things. then when i got older i just figured out how to use them on myself. I dont even own a pair of nail clippers and dont really understand how everyone else uses them without destroying their nails.

When I'm nervous or scared I count by 2's in my head but only up to 10.

Same here but I don't have to be sitting for a prolong period. My knee will just go anyways. I don't even know its going half the time. Drives my wife nuts!

Also, I have to have one foot out of the covers.

I have to eat small candy (M&Ms, Tic Tacks, etc.) in even amounts.

My favorite radio stations are programmed in my car numerically rather than which I listen to most frequently.

^^This! Also, I take it a bit further. If I'm eating flavored candy like Skittles, I eat the colors separately until there are even numbers of each left. Then I eat my least favorite flavor first saving my favorite for last. laugh cool

The clock in my car is set ahead 5 minutes. If I am going to do something multiple times, I tend to make it multiples of 5.
