i am neurotic.

I can only eat chocolate chips in groups of two, i have to stick every end on a chocolate chip to another one before i eat them.

I can only drink something with ice if there are an odd number of cubes.

I have a thing with the eggs in my refrigerator. my roommates take them out of the carton willy-nilly, without any thought as to evenness. So every time someone eats an egg, i have to go and arrange them so that each one has a partner. I don’t want them to get lonely. if there is one lonely egg, i either eat it or throw it out to put it out of it’s lonely misery.

I’m afraid my teeth will wear unevenly, and therefore must eat everything in even numbers. If I’m eating something like M&Ms and I have three left, I eat two and give the third away.

After shutting off the shower head, water trickles down the bath spout. This water-trickle has to run over the toes of both of my feet, one foot after the other. It can be right-left-right or left-right-left, but it has to be an odd number of times and I try to keep it fairly even over the long-run which foot gets to start.

I always try to land on my right foot when walking down stairs. To this end, for every set of stairs I regularly use, I memorize whether I need to start out on my left foot or right. Similar thing for going up – I take two stairs at a time, and if I have to take an extra step, I have it at the beginning rather than the end.

I have to eat snack food, like chips or pretzels, in increments of two, one for each side of my mouth.

I don’t like flights of stairs with an odd number of steps.  When I go up the steps two-by-two, there’s always that extra odd step that makes your stairclimbing uneven.  I have major issues with it.
