Whenever I am writing something (especially in pen) if I mess up just a little, I have to start over. Sometimes 4 or 5 times. So my husband and I have this little game. If one of us starts to do something a little obsessive you get to say "I see you have a little bit of Monk in you"

LOL! Me and my wife do the same, sometimes! She'll be on me about washing my hands or something and I'll say, "O.k., Monk!" Monk has become a symbol for compulsive behaviors, that's for sure. Although being super-clean and tidy is not something I share with him, here are a couple of odd behaviors I have:

1. I eat everything one thing at a time. I cannot stand for my food to touch, either. Even cake and ice cream have to be seperate.

2. I always have to touch the last stair with my right foot, even if I have to do a double step just before to make it happen.

3. I avoid cracks in sidewalks at almost all costs.

4. Perhaps strangest, if I look at my watch and my digital second hand reads :00, then I must look away for one second and glance at it again at :02. I am fine with any other seconds, though. I don't know what it is about avoiding looking at :01. Any Doctor Kroger wannabees want to take a stab at that one?

Well, speaking for myself; If I look at a clock and the digital minutes read :00, I suspect that the clock isn't working... Not set, broken, etc. ... so I look away for a second, and then look back, to see if it changed (because that means it's working). Think that might be it? Or something like it?

Now, I have a friend with an analog clock over his mantel that reads 8:00. It really is broken, and it drives me nuts because I always look at it to see what the time is!
