When I was a kid and I got home for lunch, I'd have to turn the oven burner on and hold my hand on it for 10 seconds otherwise the Flames would lose their next game.

1. Text books/newspapers/flyers: I always feel the need to add dialogue bubbles/captions over people in pictures...or mustaches and pirate patches...I don't feel complete unless I at least deface "Dear Abbey" in the daily newspaper.
2. I often pick out weird patterns in text when pleasure reading. It's hard to explain, but it's usually patterns that the spaces in between words leaves on the page.
My dog also has a weird quirk...she always walks into the living room backwards. It's the only room in the house that she does this, she'll be walking head first towards the living room and then at the threshold, she turns around and walks in backwards. The only thing I can think of is that maybe she wiped out running into the living room when she was a pup.

Nobody has mentioned fingerprints on screens yet...if you touch my laptop screen, I might as well pack up and go home for the day, because it will distract me to no end the rest of the day.
I carry a microfiber cloth and spray with me for emergencies, but it never does as good a job as the full size cloth at home, since it's only for spot jobs (which of course makes the rest of the screen look dirty by comparison).
I have literally pushed my laptop out of harms way to avoid an over-zealous client from jabbing at my screen.

Once on a long drive up north for a surveying job, i noticed the guy driving was yanking out his nose hairs one after the other. (ouch!) I guess he ran out of nose hairs because next thing i knew he was working on chest and neck. Im glad i wasnt around when he got all upper body hairs harvested!
As for me i have to be hugging a pillow to go to sleep.
Something to do with my childhood teddybear i think.
You know you have officially reached TKP status when the motion sensor light in the washroom turns off. Best poop of my life. I may have even fallen asleep for 10 minutes.

I can't read a book with a bent spine. I will strain my eyes to the maximum extent to keep from bending a spine of a book.
Every book on my shelf that I have read, which on this shelf is just a quick estimate/count of 50, has a perfect spine on it. I would go as far as to say they are near mint (Mint to me is unachievable in any sense after it has been fondled for any period of time, including hockey cards that sit in cases for 10 years but get touched for ten minutes).
I'm like that too. Used bookstores love taking my books because they look like they're new.
I have to sleep with a fan no matter how cold it is. I will literally lay there for hours if I don't have one and if I do eventually fall asleep I usually wake up in a terrible mood. I have an app on my phone that mimics the fan sound which helps in desperate situations. It's been like this as long as I can remember.

Agreed. The best part of being famous is sleeping with the fans.

+1 for fan sound. Ever since I was really young I have slept with a fan.
White noise generator FTW!
Double checking locked doors. I'll go from my car back to the front door 3 times to make sure it's locked. After trekking from the food court in Crossiron Mills to the far end of the parking lot to check my car door, I decided it was time to invest in a 2way alarm/starter, just so I could check if the doors were locked without walking to the truck.
