I can't walk up or down a flight of stairs without counting them, whether I've been up and down them dozens of times, or not.

Not in Surrey
When filling up always have to round it up to the nearest number ie £50 or £60. Nothing more annoying (to me) than filing up with £60.01

If i am within tapping distance, I will tap a window twice when I am passing. The world will not end, if I don't do it, but I do it all the same.

A sad one. Sometimes filling up with 45.454 litres of fuel then setting odometer to zero, to see how many miles achieved in reality to the old 10 gallons and how much is fuel per imperial gallon. No real interest in either, but relieved the boredom of standing at the pump filling up.
You are not in the WSU are you Phil?

Absolutely this, although I take it further. I remember the number of steps for all those I use regularly - 17, 23, 8, 9, 13 for example is street level to north bound platform of the Victoria line! I need this to make sure that the last step I take off every flight is onto my left foot.

Sadly did that in the early days of WSU. I can't remember, but was it well over 100 from the (near Dick's Bar) NW end?
Would pass older folk taking an oxygen break - they've probably moved to WSL since.

WSM, I think it's around 90 but the thing is, as soon as I get there I just forget.
Ah, now, I do know, and remember, it's 24 from the Central line platform to the barriers, that's one that does stick in my mind. Do you count the 'steps' when you're walking up or down moving escalators? I do!

I have no idea how you do that, since my petrol bills tend to be in the range of £45.89, £53.34, £47.71 etc. Do you know a particularly cheap garage?Have the habit of rounding the petrol pump totals to significant dates ie £10.66 £19.01 £19.45 £19.66 £19.10 £19.83
