OK Bubbler-ites, let everyone know about the weird things you do!
I suggest keeping within the guidelines of decency. For example, we (or most of us) don't want to read about that weird thing you do that your spouse just loves...
I'll start us off:
I hate getting my hands dirty when I eat. So much so that I have a very hard time eating anything barbequed. I eat ribs with a knife and fork. Now this isn't just a small preference...I hate it. I don't mind mixing raw meat with my hands, but any messy, cooked food...there'd better be a ton of napkins!

I also don't like to eat messy foods with my hands and have never eaten bbq ribs with anything other than a fork.
One thing I can do is pick stuff up with my foot rather than bend over to get it. My husband thinks it's really weird but I think he's just jealous because he can't do it. LOL

I can do the same thing! My big toe is shorter than the next toe, making my foot look almost primate-like. My wife feels the same way as your husband.
We should form a club. We could call is "Club Foot," but people would probably get confused...
While I don't like having messy hands when eating, sometimes you just have to dig in and get all full of sloppy goodness. Finger lickin' good. Sometimes it's just worth it.
I dislike most food that uses your hands beyond subs and sandwiches types.
I hate messy foods ,I would rather pass on those.

....Now, a very great man once said
That some people rob you with a fountain pen
It didn’t take too long to find out
Just what he was talkin’ about
A lot of people don’t have much food on their table
But they got a lot of forks ’n’ knives
And they gotta cut somethin’....

I usually microwave for some weird number of seconds rather than hitting the thirty second or one minute button. Favorites are 49 (I was in Sea Scout Ship 49) and 107 (I was Scoutmaster for Troop 107) or just hitting doubles, like 55.
I keep all my spices alphabetical on the turntables in the cupboard. It might sound like I have OCD, but I find it makes things easier to find the bottles. When you own a lot of bottles of spices you need to save time looking.
I like things to be in their place and not disorganized. If something is out of place it will bug me until I straighten it. When I say I have all my ducks in a row, they better be evenly spaced and perfectly lined up.
I will straighten any pictures hanging on the wall when I walk by if they are out of whack.
If a rug on the floor is crooked I will straighten it.
If I see something is dirty like a spot on the wall, dirt on the floor, or dirt on the table, it will bug me everytime I see it. I have to get it clean so I don't have to look at it anymore.
If there is a curtain not quite close in the middle where the 2 halves meet, then I'd better go fix that or pervs might see in the window.
If the blinds for the patio door catch on the throw rug by the door, I have to straighten that out so it looks neat.

I hate messy foods also. I really dislike messy ribs especially if we are dining out. Another thing I actually dislike eating pizza by picking it up when it's hot and all gooey and messy. I will cut it with a knife and eat it with a fork.
My second husband always called me a germ freak because I insist that everyone has to wash their hands before coming to the table (him included and he hated it). Or when you come home from school, work, or where ever I tell people to wash their hands. AFter going to the bathroom, sneezing or coughing,..yup, you guessed it, wash your hands! Or if we are out somewhere then it's, use the germ x.
Sorry I can't stand to touch food if I have germy hands. Just not happening.
If that makes me a freak, then I love being a freak.
I try not to touch door handles on any doors at restaurants, stores and public bathrooms. Anything that might have germs on, I try to not touch. It must work pretty good, because I haven't had a cold in a year and a half. That's a long time for me.

I do the same thing and it drives my wife nuts. If she says to cook something for 30 more seconds, then I cook it for 32. It has to be the most randomm number I can possibly do...so not 35, not 30, ...
I used to be a real germophobe.. washing my hands multiple times a day, etc. Wouldn't pick up anything that had dropped on the floor, etc.
I deliberately broke myself of that.. now I am not nearly as bad.

This isn't just about being a germphobe, it's about not picking up others' cold and flu germs. That's why more stores have handiwipes and hand sanitizer available. I happen to catch a lot of colds, always have. I try to stay away for germy door handles. Also, there's lots of people that don't wash their hands after using the bathroom. I don't want to touch their pee or poo, which is what you're doing.
Well, I had a real fear of contracting rabies as a kid (thanks, Old Yeller)... used to wash my hands so much they actually bled. So for me, it was about the germs..

LOL!
I put weird times on my microwave too.... 33 seconds is easier to punch in than 30, 66 is pretty close to 1 minute...and why not put in 3:33 for three and a half minutes?

Nope, you are not OCD...it's really smart to organize spices alphabetically. It saves a lot of time, especially when using multiple spices in cooking. Good job!

I, too, am a frequent hand-washer.
Grocery stores are VERY dirty...after going grocery shopping and putting groceries away, I always wash my hands well. Ever look at the grime that comes off of your hands just from grocery shopping? Makes me shudder!
P.S. I have only had two full-blown colds in the past ten years. There's something to be said for keeping one's hands clean.
