Tyson's OCD impulses, habits, & ticks.

Tyson has low level OCD. He does his best not to follow through and comply with his impulses, in fear of his OCD taking over his life, but there are some that appear often.
  • He has to put items back in his bag in the reverse of the order he took them out.
  • He has to have the handle of his mug facing left when he isn’t holding it but others mugs can face any direction.
  • He has to tie his left shoe laces first, even if it means untying his right.
  • He has to use particular towels.
  • When being handed a food and drink, Tyson will always take the cup in his right hand and the food in his left hand.
  • When stepping off or out of a vehicle Tyson will always put his left leg out first, despite being right dominant for both hands and feet.
  • When eating from a bowl he stirs clockwise twice, then takes a bite, then stirs anti-clockwise twice, then takes another bite.
  • He always picked up the phone on an even number of rings.
  • He always buttoned the second lowest button of his shirt, then the bottom button, before going up his shirt and buttoning up the rest, usually ignore in the very top - collar - button.
  • He always taps the spine of a book twice before he opened it.
  • When getting into a car he'll buckle his seatbelt, unbuckle it, then buckle it again.
