We all have routines we follow in our daily lives. Some are unique to us. We like to wash body parts in a certain order in the shower, put our clothes on in a certain order, or arrange the things on our desk a certain way. When does it become more than just a way to organize ourselves and become a disorder? For me, my quirks come out when I do something that I do quite often, work on my computer.

My fingernails must be shorter than the tip of my finger. If I notice they are longer than the tip of my finger, I generally stop what I am doing and clip my fingernails. This is not an appearance quirk for me. It’s more utility. If my fingernail extends past the tip of my finger, I have trouble typing. I type based solely on tactile feedback and if my fingernail hits the keys on the keyboard before the tip of my finger, it trips up my fingers.

My second quirk is something that is also only brought to my attention by using a computer. I wash my hands about every 45 minutes or so when I am on my computer. In fact, in the middle of this post, I went to wash my hands. The position I keep my hands in makes the oils on my hands quite noticeable to me. There is no exact set interval of 45 minutes to wash my hands, but it’s about that often. If I use the restroom in between one of these hand washing times, it resets the counter to another 45 minutes.

Perhaps I am an odd individual, but these are things that I feel compelled to do. Make fun of me if you will, but we will see who is laughing when I climb the bell tower with my high powered rifle. Just kidding. Using my computer has given me no indication that this is necessary…yet.
