Laughs along with canned laughter to be sociable.

And never leaves a lone item on my plate in case it feels left out?

Anyone with any similar ones?

I have to have things at right angles, if I saw something crooked and didn't change it I think something bad will happen. Car radio and tv volume has to be on an even number.
But my crazy one is: when saying a prayer every night before bed, I have to make the sign of the cross 3 times at the end.
This is because I'm afraid that if I haven't done it right the first time that my whole night and the following day will be an open prayer... so I do it a second time. But that's not good enough cos if I got it right the first time, then the second time is opening a prayer so I have to close it with a third. Blush

@justmuddlingalong That sounds perfectly normal to me - DH, DD1, DD2 and I all settle down together to watch Casualty on a Saturday night and as the music starts up, whenever the heartbeat sound comes in, we all call "DUH-DUH!", each time, all the way through! We had one of DH's friends to stay a few weeks ago and he was most taken aback when it began, but had joined in by the end credits (having clearly realised it was the done thing).

We also ensure every baked bean comes out of the tin, resorting to using a spatula if required. We call it "No bean left behiiiiiiiiiiiiiiind!". We are an unusual family.
