M&Ms candies, I eat in pairs, matching colors. When the colors no longer have pairs, I match them by related colors (like green = yellow+blue)

On a sandwich, the top and bottom slices of bread need to line up as they were baked.
I do that too with sandwiches, LOL.

When I was a kid (and into my 20s), whenever we went to the movies I would always get a box of regular M&Ms, and I would count them as I ate them. One time, when I was in high school, we went out to a movie with my grandparents, and my grandmother sat next to me. When she asked for some M&Ms, I gave the box to her and then asked how many she took...because I had to know how many were in the box! She, of course, did not know this and was not amused until I explained.

My current main OCD (confession!) is that very often, when I am reading, I start grouping syllables into groups of three or four and then reading the groups sort of rhythmically into sets of 16 or 20. I may reread a passage until I get the rhythm right. This is a totally WTF habit and I have no idea where it came from but I've been doing it for a very long time; it's very annoying because it really slows down my reading. If I pay attention I can kick myself out of it.
