It's actually one symptom of ADHD, though it doesn't mean you have it. It gives your mind something predictable to occupy it, as opposed to coworker chatter, which has highs and lows and is therefore much more distracting.

Quote: I have a photographic memory and when I'm out walking, driving, or whatever, words or images pop flash into my consciousness. I know I've seen them and I absolutely have to find out where I saw before I can keep going or doing whatever I'm doing. It's kind of annoying. (The same things happens when I'm reading. I'll flash ahead and see a word or phrase and then I spend five minutes trying to find what I saw. referrelative="t" o:spt="75" coordsize="21600,21600">ath o:connecttype="rect" gradientshapeok="t" o:extrusionok="f">ath>fficeffice" />)

AH! Somebody else does this, too?

- This one's very obscure and weird, but here goes: There are these "Kodak Photo Spot" signs all over Disney World (I live 10 minutes away), and everytime I get near one, I have to figure out the exact angle they were standing at to get the picture on the sign...even though I have no intention of taking a picture.

- While working I find myself constantly swiping the desk in front of my keyboard like I am removing imaginary crumbs or something (oddly enough it is always with my right-hand, and I am left-handed...go figure.)

- This appears to have been picked up by my oldest son as well: I print (never write) very small, and in all caps. The first letter of each word is a little bit larger, so it is like I am capitalizing the capitalization. If I look at my writing and it appears larger than what it would be if I were to type it, I start over (this may be a throwback to highschool where I knew that if I wrote a paper, it would be about the same size, if not longer, in typed pages).

- My sister and I (6 years apart) can begin and end each other's sentences without skipping a beat, while my brothers and I (much closer in age) rarely have a thought in common.

I do both of these; my alarm is currently set for 6:47 am. I also have it set ahead by 8 minutes. So I guess it is really 6:39 that the alarm goes off.

I have to "merchandise" my cabinets, my closet and most importantly, my bathroom. You would swear that you walked on to the set of a catalog shoot when you walk into my bathroom.

Also:

I hate wrapping leftovers in foil or clingfilm, everything has to be put neatly into a container. If I don't have enough containers I will clean out the fridge to find more and wash them, rather than use foil.

I have separate drawers for gym clothes and street clothes. They can't be mixed up, even though tee-shirts all look kind of the same (and completely the same to the cleaning woman who washes and puts away my laundry.)

I only grade papers in ultra fine Sharpies. I have several colors that I use, but once I have made a choice, all of the papers have to be graded in the same color. I can't switch from green to orange mid-class.

Yup. Quirky.

I got a couple more.

When they advertise food on the TV or radio, and over amplify the eating noises....Arrgh! Makes me change the channel, or push the mute button, and I won't buy the product, either.

Can't stand it when someone says "Warshington", especially someone who lives in WA state, or works in D.C. There's no "R" in there, and there never was...it's a man's NAME! A man who would probably be quick to correct a mis-pronunciation of his name, seeing as how he was president. Do these people mis-pronounce everyone's name?

I hate ironing. I'd rather do the dishes than iron. I need to find a man who loves to iron. I love doing the laundry though. Washing clothes helps me relax for some reason. If I'm stressed I'll start doing the laundry pretty early.
I love pets, but hate having fur on my clothes.
I also need the fan on to sleep.
I can remember people's birthdays once they tell me.
