Rituals and Habits.

[conor.1]

Ok, quick search revealed nothing.

I am interested if anyone else has a weird ritual or habit they have. Be it in a sporting game/riding/everyday life.

I have a habit of hitting the 5m flags everytime i walk past them at work. It means nothing, but it is just a reaction to hit them as i walk past. As well as hit the top of the door of the change room on my way out to the hockey field.

So share if you wish, i am rather interested. And if you have a reason/belief behind it, please share that to.

Conor.

Before i go onto the footy field, i hit the top of the door as there is a sign there saying M.A.T.E, meaning Meet At The End.

No doubt more will come to mind.

Every tuesday night I masturbate over my ex.

I know it's sick but she's a heavy sleeper and I still have her house key.

I have a habit of stacking in the most useless, pathetic way, and it hurting more than any epic high speed stack I've ever been in.

For instance, theres this one stretch of fire road in the national park, dead flat, no rocks or anything. I've stacked twice to a dropped chain and each time hurt more than it should've.

I also routinely checking my email address whenever I log onto my computer, without fail, even if I've checked two hours earlier.

These are my obsessive compulsive habits, but whatever.....

When I hang out the washing, the pegs on each item have to be the same colour, no matter what.

And, everything on my desk at home has to be fairly straight, otherwise it annoys me.

Bit weird, but everyone has their OCD momnets

Taking a shit before I go riding, dunno why I do this, I've never had to shit while out riding but I seem to get the "nervous style shits" while I'm waiting for someone to come pick me up or something.
Tightening my helmet, I have one of those "push together" style retentioners on the back of my half hat, before a run I'll push it in till its tight, it has to be at the exact same "tightness" before I can start riding.
Knee pads also have to be at the right "tightness", I'm constantly adjusting the Velcro before I start riding and then when I finish a run the urge goes away.
School bag - My zips are always done up fully.
Keyboard always needs to be at the same place on the desk or my typing ends up coming out retarded.
My seat always needs to be at the same hight.
My phone always needs to be on its charger, unless I'm out.
Shoes and boots always need to be as tight as possible without cutting off circulation.

I'll think of more later...

tidying the house the morning after a big night out. seems to 'unclutter' my head.

 

[Stack Shack]

Moving my head around like im trying to get a fly to go away, this usually happend at least opnce when riding before i do somethinmg, like if im pedaling into a jump a good luck shake.

Constantly tap when in a car.

Have to restart my computer everytime I walk away.

Can't ride unless tires are exact same pressure

Psp has to be in cradle unless using it.

Dishes have to be stacked perfectly in dishwasher.

at work- All basil leaves on a pizza have to point to the centre.

Hmm OCD is fun

Since i'm a goalkeeper, i do this after coin toss.

Run a little, side steps to my right, then to my left, then jog and tap the crossbar.

I always put the toothbrush to the left side of my mouth when starting, otherwise it doesnt feel right and i have to start over.

Everything has to be off the floor in my room - It helps me unclutter my mind.

I HAVE to sleep on my stomach, or I wont sleep.

Lever adjust on my brakes - Both have to be the exact same

I have to leave my amplifier on with no sound playing for 30 secs when turning on and off - sort of like warming up a car engine
