Counting to 500,000 by 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23 etc.
Yes, I know, 500,000 is an even number.

We already have one.Perhaps NSC can get a group rate for OCD therapy?
OK. So, I could list dozens of this shit....Filling fuel always try to get a round number. £20. £30. £40. £50 etc ...
I know it comes from the old days when I'd have a fiver or tenner cash in my pocket for fuel. But I seriously cannot remember when the last time I paid for fuel in cash rather than a card or Androidpay nowadays. A decade at least I would guess.
Plus fuel is so much more expensive that it's easy to 'miss' rather than 'hit'.
So I really doesn't matter if it's £30.02 but it's bloody annoying. I've even been known to try for £35 instead of leaving it at some annoying non-round number.

I was trying to stay out of this thread but you have drawn me in. You would hate me and fuel as I always try something with symmetry. For example, I will aim for £35.35, if I miss by 1p then £35.36 would be okay but if I miss by more then my next target is £35.53.Filling fuel always try to get a round number. £20. £30. £40. £50 etc ...

I was at the dentist this morning and having a bit of time decided to work out the size of the waiting room by counting the floorboards. Width wise there were 23 at 200mm with with a 50mm cut piece next to one wall, so the overall width was 4.65m. It was at that point that Mr Patel called me in so the length will have to wait until my next visit on 25th Nov.OK. So, I could list dozens of this shit....
Petrol stations. On match day I won't look at the cost until the filling cuts off. Then the £ and pence will tell me what the score will be. Brighton are always the £. Obviously the score won't be 37-15. So I add the integers. That example would end up as a 10-6 win, except it would actually be a 1-6 defeat.
This is a shit system so I don't really take much notice of it any more. But I still fill up in one go (no topping up) without looking at the charge dial.
Oh, and I count the approximate seconds it takes to fill up. No particular reason for that. I just do.
(Those with long memories and who used the old Mailing List may recall "magic (lucky) darts", where I would predict the Albion match score from bulls (2 goals) and semi bulls (1 goal) using 3 darts, using my right hand for the home team. I would do the whole season, record the scores, then check them after every game. It wasn't a very good predictive system, but it was quite fun).
I could go on..... but I'm a busy man and have things to count. Sorry, I mean things to do.

I did the same for the ceiling when I was having my last two MRI scans, waiting to be moved into the magnet. Very intricate pattern.I was at the dentist this morning and having a bit of time decided to work out the size of the waiting room by counting the floorboards.

Bart?I have this strange habit of passing to the only opposition player within 40 yards even though I’ve got 3 unmarked team mates close by.
I’m exactly the same. Especially hanging out laundry and changing bed sheets. Gotta have something to listen to.If doing anything chore-like (washing, cooking, unpacking shopping, showering etc) I need sound. Sometimes musically but usually a podcast or YouTube video playing in the background.
I also need the same when going to sleep.
Haha. Me too!When I’m cooking our evening meal, I can’t eat mine until all the washing up of pots, pans etc. is done and everything put away.
