I do that with my car alarm...I need to actively hit the button until I hear the *beep* multiple times to make sure it's REALLY locked

It disturbs me that some people make their oatmeal with water instead of milk.

 

Lol while some of these sound a bit crazy this one makes the least sense. If anything it makes you different to use milk rather than water lol :bang. All I have is I guess, cant watch a recorded sports game. If its not live than to me its pointless.

I do that too, but mine is because when I was in 5th grade the door shut on my cat and killed him. Very sad, especially since it looks like my family has to put to sleep another cat tomorrow since it's having bladder problems.

your compulsion is that you don't like people who follow directions?

that's not a compulsion...that just makes you an idiot :lol:

I kid because I can©

 

It says milk or water. Easy choice unless you are lactose intolerant.

- I always hit the "lock" button on my car twice to make sure it's locked.

That. Except I usually do it much more than twice.

- Money has to be facing the same way, and needs to be in order from singles up.

 

I have to do that as well. I got into the habit working foodservice in high school when the optical bill counter/wrapper required all the bills to face the same way, and now I need to have all my bills facing the same way and arranged in increasing amounts.

 

The other one is maybe more of a game than a superstition, and it's sort of me poking fun at myself. I really dislike bad/cheap beer. But whenever I play the Lotto when the jackpot is over $100 million I convince myself that my chances of winning will improve if I beerslum and drink a quart of forty of OE8, Billy Dee, Bull, or some equally bad malt liquor. The malt liquor has to be bought from the same convenience store at the Lotto ticket and at the same time, the bottle must be drunk out of a paper bag, and I have to finish the whole thing off before the 11 pm Lotto drawing.

 

Of course, seeing as how I can count the number of times I've hit the big Lotto jackpot on no hands, maybe this little ritual is not doing me a whole lot of good. :P

 

The only sports superstition I pay much attention to is not jinxing a no-hitter in progress by talking about it.

don't ask someone if they have ever bowled a 300 when they are in the midst of bowling it. I've never seen someone be asked that question, and then seen a 300 from that person. JUST DON'T F***ING DO IT. Thankfully, nobody asked me when I got both of mine.

 

Other than that, I have this compulsion to get flat out hammered every Friday and Saturday nowadays. Not sure why.
