My personal addition is that for some reason, I don't like the number 6. It's not a religious thing, I just have never liked it. If I'm watching a timer on a DVD player for example, I won't let the number 6 be the last number that I see on the counter. I'll wait another second to see 7 last, or look away at 5 so I don't see the 6.

I also do the garage door thing/did I lock the front door thing. I don't think those are all that abnormal, or at least I hope they aren't...

I'm not sure if this qualifies, but when telling someone the time I always give the exact minute. Same thing if people ask me what time they should show up or what time I will show up etc. Oftentimes I will tell my girlfriend that I will meet her in 18 minutes or, say, 6:57. She doesn't understand why I just don't round off and say 7:00 and thinks I'm strange.

My friends describe me as a "precise" person in general...I'm not sure what the means but it doesn't sound too bad.

I'm constantly reciting pi in my head out to 15 digits or so. 3.141592653589793238462643383273.141592653589793238462643383273.141592653589793238462643383273.14159265358979323846264338327 etc

I can also wiggle my ears independently.

I must check the stove before I leave and physically move the knobs to feel the click. I have to do it a few times or it doesn't feel right.
I check the door at night that its locked several times. I often go out to my car to make sure it stayed locked.
I continuously figure my fuel economy in my car. I know exactly how far I have and how far I can push it.
I never let a circuit board out of my area into production without repeated checks.
Nothing can have (13) in it, be it the TV volume or car volume, or the total of the goods I'm about to buy (I figure the tax - it gets rough going grocery shopping and often I'm wrong cuz its hard to keep track of 100 items and whether or not its taxable). But it can't have a (13) anywhere in it. In fact those 2 numbers I just wrote are difficult to deal with but I'm having a go. I might edit them.
(I have diagnosed OCD - it actually helps some in the IT and electronics fields)
I continuously talk (but never answer) to myself. Probably because of all the pi going on in my head.

I make little explosion noises under my breath when I turn lights on or off.

I talk to myself... a lot. Especially if I am walking or thinking about something. I'll just carry on asking myself questions, think about them for a while, and then answer them if I can.

when people are sitting near me and they can't stop shaking/tapping their leg or foot, I want to punch them in the face repeatedly until they stop.

does that count as a quirk?

i dont think you will ever understand how little music actually has to do with the human psyche...

lol

okay, since you are going to troll by posting bullshit, ill go to this...

you can change a persons mood VERY rapidly by playing different styles of music.

you can change their heart rate, what they are thinking about, and more just through music.

Count me in the group of people that check to see if the door (house or car) is locked several times. It is sort of OCD, but I figure better safe than sorry. It has saved my ass a few times.
