Sometimes I turn doorknobs or bat doors back and forth a bit before closing them. Like they were off-center, so I had to nudge them in either direction an equal number of times to fix them. Only while closing them, though. I have some other little things like that that I used to do more, too.
I don't think I have a mild case of OCD or anything, though - I've taken psych courses before, and I've done a little research, and people are very clear on OCD being about intense feelings of anxiety, and fear that if you don't perform your rituals then there will be direct negative consequences, not about the rituals themselves. It's an anxiety disorder. So, I don't really know what I have. Just weird little habits, I guess.
