When changing lanes on the motorway I have to try not to hit the bumps on the white lines.
When eating food i usually eat one thing at a time i.e. all the carrots then all the potatos. Meat always comes first or last, it's become so subconscious I don't even notice until my family point it out.
Cracking my neck, back and knuckles all the damn time.

i do the road bump thing..
in my bed, i must have the end of the doona tucked into the foot of the bed, and the doona must remain even on either side of the bed, with no creases in the doona to let any air in along the sides. my husband has no such inclinations. its a bit of a problem and i sometimes make him change sleeping position, then get out of bed and re-arrange the doona.
i have to step on cracks in pavements or joins between tiles an equal number of times on each foot. i will alter the length of my gait to ensure that each foot gets "hit" the same number of times by cracks. if i'm being really fussy, it has to be the same place on each foot (only on the ball, or the heel etc)
i eat my food such that i eat whatever i have most of on my plate until there is the same amount as the thing i have second-most of. then i combine these two in mouthfuls until they are the same as the next quantity. i continue like this so that my final mouthfuls have equal amounts of every item on my plate. i dont do this all the time, but very often, especially with things like roast dinners.
also, my food must have sauce of some kind. i will make up a gravy or sauce just for myself so i can ensure i have some kind of sauce on my food if there isnt one already provided.

I have to come into Bluelight every now and then and post self-righteous annoying crap just to feel like I have friends.
There should be no correlation whatsoever of personality and point-of-view between posts in separate sessions. This rule can be bent but it makes me all PLURry inside so no more than 3 such sessions can be linked.
When at the computer, snot goes under the table.
I constantly seek out irony and flaws in other peoples' statements but laugh at them to myself because I am all that matters.
Off topic posts are a must.
Oh and I have an obsessive compulsive need to tell people of my strange rituals.

At public/work toilets i have to use the second cubicle I walk passed.
Abit off subject. The only thing worse than a cold toilet seat is a warm toilet seat in cold weather. Someone elses bum sweat.

Wow! You guys are freaks! actually, come to think about it...i guess i have my wierd thingys as well. When holding hands with someone, my hand has to go in a certain position - not backwards, not held too tightly - just exactly right... Also, when driving in a car and we go over a big shadow, i have to squint my eyes a bit and pretend i'm leaping over it... Yes, ok...i join the rest of you in freakishness...!
oh i have another thing to add...
i hate when my socks are tight over my toes. i cant stand slip on shoes (unless they have lots of room) or elastics sneakers which pull my socks tight against my toes. i sometimes put my shoes on several times over before i'm happy with how my socks feel.
also important is the seam of the sock which must be in the correct place. i wear the same socks on the same feet all the time. when they're new, you have to look at the seam to find which one goes on which foot, but after awhile they stretch to the shape of your foot (doesnt come out in the wash!) and you can always tell which foot each sock belongs on. i cant put the wrong sock on the wrong foot, it just feels wrong.

I'll count things. If there's a couple of chairs and a table, or some trees and lamp posts, I'll count them in the order that they come, according to perspective. For instance, back left leg, front left leg, back right leg, table leg, front right leg etc. Stupid, but it passes the time.

Okay I'm going to sound ridiculous saying this, but I alphabetise words in my head. If there is more then one of a particular letter then they cancel each other out and vowels aren't counted. eg street sign would be GNR. I've done that sort of stuff in my head for as long as I can remember.
