Things that are oddly satisfying

You know, like picking at scabs or removing your peeling sunburned skin. How many of you do things like that, and what do you do?

also removing blackheads.

Diagnosed OCD.

So many things...

Favorites include organizing things into patterns, aligning things absolutely perfectly, cracking/popping knuckles, peeling labels off beer bottles or whatever, folding trash like an empty bag of chips neatly... The list is endless.

I love picking scabs. And clicking my knuckles and fingers. I also like pulling hair off people. I always do it carefully so they don't notice. It's a strange habit. I'd love to put in peoples tags but I'm afraid they might yell at me.

Cracking knuckles (or ankles, or your back), yes! My knuckles won't pop much but my ankles will crack all the time. I'm too scared to try cracking my neck, it would be just my luck to break it and end up a cripple.

Scratching when high on opiates

Running over aluminum cans while driving (and hearing the crunch).

Evacuating the area before someone's bratty child erupts.

When people are too stupid to understand your sarcasm.
