I do this as well.

when i step on a crack in the sidewalk or a bump with one foot, my feet feel uneven, so i make sure i step on another crack/bump with my other foot at the same area and angle as my first foot.

I'm not sure I have a viable means of providing proof for you over the internet. Though going a few minutes without breathing or blinking is rather easy when you aren't engaged in any physical activity, so I fail to see why it's not very believable.

I don't mean to be condescending, but you know that just because you're not blinking or breathing consciously, doesn't mean you're not doing it. >.>

The lifeguard thing makes the not-breathing part believable, but I'm a little hesitant to believe the blinking part. 45 minutes consciously focused on not-blinking? No matter how bored you are, how could you just sit still for 45 minutes with your mind focused on one thing?

I might be able to do two minutes without blinking, but I'm not even sure of that. It's possible I just can't comprehend keeping my eyes open that long because I'm Asian though.

I only brush my teeth while in the shower.

When I buy something new, I put it on display somewhere in my room and look at/enjoy it for a day or two. I can't just put it away if I don't need it right then.

I can't stand excess/clutter. If I don't use something regularly, even if it is perfectly good and I might need it some day, I give it away to someone or throw it out.

I like jam on hotdogs.
In that case, I want to know how often you shower! haha

lolol I'm the same way! Everything has to be symmetrical. If I scratch my right arm, I must scratch my left arm as well, in the same spot and with equal force. If I chew a piece of food on one side of my mouth a certain number of times, I "have to" then chew it on the other side of my mouth an equal number of times. If I cracked all the knuckles on my right hand, but for some reason somebody prevented me from cracking the knuckles on my left...... shiit would go down. It's all about equality

Same reason why staircases with an uneven number of stairs bother me.

Also, I'm constantly looking out for/noticing the numbers 5, 8, 58, 85, and all numbers whose digits add up to 5 or 8. I swear they pop up EVERYWHERE.

Is that quirky enough?

Once a day. Twice when it's warm out.

I've never had a cavity in my adult teeth

So say you're doing pushups or whatever, and you get tired at 26, you never ever think "wow, that's such a weird-ass number to stop at" and try doing one or two more?

I don't know if that's quirky so much as it is a textbook description of obsessive compulsive disorder..
