Mine has always been my food touching, it has to be all neat on the plate without touching. Another one of mine is when I'm watching TV, nothing can be sitting beside the TV. Say if there was a hat sitting right underneath the TV, I wouldnt be able to enjoy whatever's on TV until I move the hat away from it. Any of y'all got any crazy ones?

I can't stand money in my wallet/purse not all facing the same way and folded up. Goes back to when I sold tickets at a roller skating rink in HS and my boss was super OCD about how the money was in the drawer and such.

Also, I can't stand for my windshield to be dirty. I can't stand dirt spots on it. I'm always cleaning it. I don't care about the rest of the truck. Just the windshield.

I can't go to bed without drinking at least 12 beers.

That's OCD right?

I'm weird about light switches. My parents house would have switches at multiple doorways, which made for two light switches for the same light. If they were both up/down the light was off and if one was up and one was down the light was on. So if the light was off, they both had to be down (I literally couldn't sleep at night if I thought a light switch was out of place so I'd have to go check before I could rest). And then when there was several light switches on the same plate, they had to be in the right position in accordance to which lights were on.

I can't stand a hamburger patty to be larger than the bun. If it is..I will cut it off to make it even.

I also can't stand to have an empty space on a plate. I have to put food there to cover the whole plate before I begin to eat

Have to go around a few times every time I cut my car off to check and make sure every window is rolled up. I push the roll up button twice on each window, get out and touch the top of the window on each window before I go in.
Reason is I left my windows down once in high school when it rained. Been paranoid and OCD about it ever since.

I eat skittles in groups of five, and in order:

5 greens
5 purples
5 oranges
5 yellows
5 reds

And then 5 X 1 of each.

I'll much it up, but it is one of those two combos.

Will not eat with a fork whose tongs are bent or not a curve in it.

Have thrown many forks away and asked for new silverware at places to eat multiple times.

I have a couple normal ones such as turning off the water even when its not running, or turning off lights that are already off...those are more habit than anything.

My crazy one would be the last thing I do before I go to sleep is flush the toilet in the bathroom nearest to me. When I was 5 or so, my brother convinced me that snakes could come up from the sewer into the toilet, so I guess it made sense to me if I flushed it at night, snakes couldn't get up

Every song on my iphone/ipod has to have cover art, books on my bookshelf in chronological order, when I park I have to be exactly in the middle. If I'm touching the white line, I'll get in my car back out and fix it. One time I was late for class and I pulled in and was parked on the white line a little. I didn't have time to change it but it bothered me when I thought about it in class.

I never set my alarm to any times that end in 0 or 5. I have no idea where I picked it up but I can't stand it. I've been told I most likely do in because I have a large penis.

I have a few

these are in no particular order:
-if there's two lightswitches next to eachother, they both have to be pointed the same way (off is up and on is down, or vice versa).
-all of the money in my wallet (hell, even the money in my till at work), has to be in order (all in the same direction), and it's sequential in my wallet (smallest to highest)
-I have to make sure everything is in my car the way I want it before I can even start the car

and I'm sure there's more that I'm not thinking of at the moment.

it mixes in your stomach anyway.

You don't like to mix sweet peas with mashed potatoes?
