Skittles/colored candies:
I separate the orange and yellow from green, purple/brown and red. I pair up the yellows and oranges, eat the excess yellow or orange, and eat each pair one at a time. I make groups with one green, one purple/brown (it's not actually purple. but it's supposed to be) and one red. If there's too many of one color, I make groups of three with the rest. I eat one group of three at a time, eating the groups with color repeats first.
When I eat smarties, I make a bar graph of each color in rainbow order (I line up the smarties so that each column is one color and the bottom row is even), then eat one row at a time, until I am eating 6 at a time by the end.

I always chew on the right side of my mouth.

In a hallway, I always place my feet on the same colored tiles, if possible.

I always get dressed in the same order (bra underwear socks pants shirt accessories)

If a candy has two layers (ex. resees), I eat the outsides first, save all of the insides of the package, and eat all of the insides at once. I do this with easily dissembled normal food too, like cheese sandwiches.

I never realized how much stuff like this I do...

RedLion:
So what we have learned from this thread thus far is that basically, absolutely everyone is a neurotic looney.

Well, I was diagnosed with OCD as a young child, but I still don't really know exactly what it is I do to qualify, although admittedly I prefer many activities to socializing, even if it is just examining mundane objects aor simple arts and crafts. The few times I got a chance to ask about it my doctor would give me a funny look and a few vague answers about ritualized behavior without giving me any specifics beyond the fact that I seemed to prefer objects to people. Frankly, I've come to the conclusion that they sicced the shrinks on me waaaay too early in life and nobody really seems to have taken into account the distinct possiblity that hey, maybe I just don't like humoring people who don't particularly interest me much. A shame really; it would have saved my parents considerable sums of money if they had just realized I'm a bit self-centered and involved with my own projects rather than a child in need of help. It's kind of odd how much happier I became after I started ignoring the people who were convinced something was wrong with me.

Eli:
Well, I have dermatillomania. And it may or may not be related to dermatillomania, but I also break my nails when they get to the tips of my fingers. I try to keep myself from doing it because I actually like long nails and it's embarrassing to have extremely short nails, but I can't help it.

I also conduct conversations in my head and try to think of every possible response or question I could get. I've found out that this is helpful for job interviews.
I also carry around a hoodie with me everywhere, even when it's above 90 degrees outside. I get cold very easily, so I think it's more practical than crazy.
