I have many. Coffee only tastes good from *my* cup. I can't stand to have people sitting behind me. I go through the grocery store aisles in the same pattern week after week, otherwise I get confused. You get the picture.
So, in what ways are you neurotic?

You exhibit such bravery to admit that! I'd be hurt if you deleted your answer.

Gazoo...I have to sit facing the door in a restaurant. If not, I can't eat right, I get really uncomfortable.

I am beginning to realize as I get older that I have many. Here are some of them:
- I don't like my pillow to touch the floor even though my floor is perfectly clean.
- I don't like my face touched (I have sensitive skin and I'm afraid I'll break out)
- I don't like the bottom of other people's feet to touch me, barefooted or with shoes on.
- I will not walk around the house in bare feet or socks, I have to wear shoes or slippers.
- If my bath towel touches the floor, I have to get a clean one (again, the floor is clean I just imagine there are germs...)
I have others that involve more organizational type quirks that drive my family nuts...I just don't feel settled unless things are in their place. Because I have 3 children, I have let some of this go but not all...

Hiya RedQueen!!!!
I count the railroad cars when I'm stopped for a train.
My radio was stolen from my car, so I talk with myself in the car (I go stir crazy with nothing to listen to for an hour's drive)...
I eat all of one food on my plate before eating the next food.
When I back out of a parking lot, I always turn a certain way, even if it means that I have to take the long way around.
I can't stand the feeling of old socks. So if I take my socks off, even if I had them on for just a minute, I have to get a fresh pair or else my feet feel horrible.

Things must be "evenly distributed" everything....I rearrange food, adjust things on tables, move furniture, my purchaces must be arranged a certain way on the checkout conveyor, etc. I try to visually balance everything...ppl don't even try to do things how I want them b/c they know it wont be right. LOL My husband has even started saying "evenly distributed" as a joke since I do it so much. Oh, and for some reason if something happened in the past more distant than yesterday my mind thinks it happened 2 weeks ago....I never noticed it but apparently that's always my answer :)

The food on my plate can't touch and blend together, otherwise I deem it inedible.
I have odd notions of cleanliness...
And , Searcher, I also eat the same food on my plate before continuing to a different food. Lol.
I can't get through the day without using the internet to an obsessive degree.

I actually have a lot of regulations approximately ingesting beverages...i'm no longer able to, genuinely no longer drink soda out of a can. I consistently pour it in a cup. yet while that's a 2-liter, I drink rapidly from the bottle. i can't drink espresso any way different than by way of a straw...yet no longer a straw for something. I could desire to drink juice and soda very chilly, espresso in common terms warm, and water at room temperature! And definite, I even have OCD.

If I start tapping my fingers on a table, I have to tap every finger the same amount of times, and I must end on an even number of taps.
If I enter a dark room, I must place my back to a wall and stand completely still for twenty-three seconds, searching every corner of the room for someone that might be hiding.
If I'm getting dressed and my shirt has a drawing or symbol on it, I must trace it with my finger in my bathroom mirror.

I can't have sex without acting like Tarzan when it is over. - Even worse than that, "sometimes" I can't stop laughing for about 5 minutes. - It is really a goofy laugh, so when I was younger I was so embarrassed I would stick part of the pillow case in my mouth and try to staffle the goofy laughter. - are you sorry you asked?
(I am thinking about deleting my answer. However, I am an old 64 year old man, so I will let it stand - so to say.)
edit: I just read the rest of your question, and I don't know what I would do in a grocery store. -- smiles

If I see anything that's crooked, a picture or something, I just have to straighten it, otherwise it bothers me and I can't think. Another thing that makes people look at me funny is that I won't eat any vegetables, ever. I don't know why, but I've just never liked them. My mother tried to force me, but I wouldn't eat anything but french fries. Unhealthy, I know.

In order to get the creative juices flowing, I put two bendable straws together and wave them around like a wand. I also can't eat with shoes on. Got that last one from my mom.

I have coffee and water with me at all times. I always chase the coffee with water.
Water only tastes good to me in my glass.
Can't tolerate lights on in the day time.
Wow, am I a mess or what?!
