What do you obsess over?

My daughter cannot have any food touching another food on her plate.

She has always been like it and it makes eating out interesting when she tries to explain to the server.

If it happens she can’t eat anything and just pushes the plate away.

The funny thing is she loves a burger but it has to arrive deconstructed.
 
My wife also has the curtain thing. Any not hanging correctly or messily drives her nuts. If we visit someone and the curtains are not right I can see her eyes flicking to them and the tension rising 😄

Perhaps I should clarify, point taken @cliveb . I was just looking for light hearted things, not debilitating issues.

Obsession usually debilitates others, sadly.

My weird behaviour is not natural to those around me, so leaving the towel folded with the ends facing the front gets swapped around and we joke about the fairy who must replenish the water bottles in the fridge, as others seem to think they appear by magic, after they take one.

21 years married and my wife will not adhere to most of my quirks and I haven't relaxed them.
 
I’m obsessed with retirement and checking my pension. 61 and still grafting in construction, I should have worked harder in school
 
I’ve obsessed long and hard about what I obsess over.

Water left on work surfaces in our house, either near the kitchen sink or the bathroom. Absolutely drives me nuts. Every time I go to either I am having to wipe down water splashes left by Mrs BB or the kids.
 
I like to have ‘stuff’ put back after use & it bugs me when it isn’t. i.e when I’m finished with the scissors they’ll go back in the same drawer even if I know I’m gonna need to use them again 10mins later
Very annoying when I go to that drawer and scissors aren’t there

Particularly annoying when someone else (who knows fine well where the scissors live) looks in that drawer and says ‘where’s the scissors’ How should I know, I dam well know it wasn’t me that used them last or they would've been put back in the drawer!

(you can substitute scissors for a great many necessary odds a sods used infrequently in every home)
 
Ok I'm going to share my weird quirk. Regularly through the day I'll hear a phrase and then I'll start to spell it out in my head trying to break it into equal numbers of letters. I'll start with two, then three and then will probably count the letters to establish if it is divisible in even groups. Spaces don't count. Apostrophes do. I've done it for as long as I can remember.

As lo ng as Ic an re me mb er.

Nice!
 
People in my household who haphazardly tear open bags of nuts, dried fruit, muesli, granola, etc, do my head in when there is a drawer with 4 pairs of scissors in it directly below the cupboard where they found the unopened bag of food.
Open neatly with scissors so the tear doesn’t spread then close the pack with a clip-it.
 
Left sock first when getting dressed. Must have a shower every morning when I get up. Must clean my van at the end of every working week, glass, vacuumed and dash/trim cleaned. Toilet seat left down. Toothpaste lid on.
 
Mrs M has just pointed out one of my weird obsessions/traits that I never realised but is absolutely spot on.

I can’t get out of bed unless the time ends with a 0 or a 5! 06:00am fine 06:05, 06:10, 06:15 etc absolutely no problem. But it it’s any other digits that don’t end 0 or 5, I won’t get out of bed. I know it’s weird but I will literally lay there an extra 60seconds till the time ticks over 🤣
