Here's the start of my list.
- before I go to bed, I must touch each exterior door's lock.
- No part of the body is allowed to hang off the edge of the bed.
- Never look at the attic/crawl space entrance... never.
- shoes on or socks off.
- no food on the plate is ever allowed to touch other food on the plate.
- the pat down (and seemingly random times throughout the day, I must pat my various pockets to make sure wallet, keys and cell are all still present)
- Keep one hand free at all times.
- check every stranger for a weapon
- always sit with back to a wall
- always identify your exits
- narrow stairs are bad. Narrow stairs that lead to basements are worse.
- I have to force myself to step on cracks in the pavement, or on the lines that separate tiles at the store.
- Separate small candies by color. Then eat from the larger groups until all groups are even, then alternate so that the last "round" is one of each color.
- Never turn off the radio / mp3 player / cd player / etc in the middle of a song.
- If I think about breathing, I have to continue to think about breathing until some outside stimulus distracts me. (I DON'T want to forget to breathe)
- Toilet paper goes on the roll with the paper spooled from the top.
- My inbox (email, rss, whatever) must always be zeroe'd. I pretend it's an efficiency thing, but in reality I just can't have even one email demanding my attention.
- No close talkers!
- DO NOT TOUCH ME!
- Just because you have mastered enough of the written language to read my name on my credit card does not mean you may call me by my first name.
- Rip open individually sized bags of chips, or dump them in bowls. I hate the feeling of sticking my hand in a bag of chips.
Just a few
