I must do things in multiples of 3. Lock my car three times, my car radio station must be at a number that's divisible by 3, when I pace around I count to make sure the number of steps I do is divisible by 3, etc.
Is your name Bonnie Kelly, by chance?

Nope, but I've been told that I look like Dennis from the show. Tongue

I think Tesla also had the number 3 as one of his OCD habits/quirks.

I aspire to solve a rotational, plastic puzzle a few centiseconds faster than other people. It's fun.

Some personal quirks of mine....

1. I sing by ear.  Play me any song, and I can sing it back to you without looking at the music. 
2.  I sometimes like to put ketchup on steak.  To quote my ex-stepfather...."Philistine!" Wink
3.  I love sci-fi tv shows and films, especially in the area of alternate history.  I'd say "Quantum Leap" is my favorite sci-fi show.

Otherwise known as Obsessive-Compulsive Syndrome, LOL.  Wink

My tendency is to regard reality as a sitcom or television drama, and to refer to people as "characters" and to higher power as "the writers". If someone exhibits a new or unexpected behavior, I might balk, saying "your character doesn't do that!"

I actually do this myself; I sometimes develop "fan theories" about what'll happen to a person's life next. I typically do this with people I know but don't see very often though, imagining myself as a recurring side character and them as the main protagonist. (I probably wouldn't say "your character doesn't do that!", unless it's to someone who knows me very well, who I typically don't do this to, though I've caught myself telling people about real-life "running gags", whether in my life or theirs, in the past).

I suppose my biggest quirk is my extreme preference for cold weather, and my resistance to it; I can calmly walk around for 10 minutes or so at -10F barefoot in a T-shirt without any ill effects or even discomfort.

I really love black tea, and am capable of drinking up to a gallon of hot, unsweetened black tea a day.

I really love maps. But that goes without saying, considering my presence on Atlas Forum.

I really love hiking, especially in forests or mountains. Most people on this forum probably have a very sedentary lifestyle, so perhaps that counts as a quirk here. I've had many less opportunities to do this since going to college in an urban environment and no longer having a car, unfortunately, and I've gotten rather out of shape Sad

I really despise haircuts, find them horribly uncomfortable, and try to put them off as much as possible. This one's inherited -- when my father got his first haircut at age 3, he yelled for someone to rescue him from "these fascist barbers" Cheesy

Member of Atlas Forum and not a virgin

This counts, apparently Tongue

Your current post total isn't divisible by 3.

I am also good at maps. Making them, using them and making sense of them.

When i work in the field, i dont need a GPS.

Once i have been shown a location, i have a great sense of direction to get back to it.

My girlfriend says i am extremely affectionate.

My ex-wife says i am ungrateful and self-centred.

I tolerate liars and help them continue the lie until they tell the truth.

I still use a bunch of made-up words that I, my brother, and a friend made up when we were in elementary school, when talking to people who'd get it.

No, it's a lifestyle.
