I've always seem to make sure my lock for my locker from school is actually locked. I check it about 4 or 5 times because one time all my stuff was stolen.

Guilty, except for the stolen items

2. New DVDS: until they are completely viewed, I mean audio commentary and all bonus features, then they are not allowed on the DVD shelf with the finished DVDS. I maintain a separate pile for the incomplete DVDS

Definitely guilty

4. Books: are sorted by category, the Bond books have their own bookcase.

Guilty

5. Things must be organized, but can be messy. (I can't stand it if I can't find something but a bit of dust on a table doesn't bother me; not that I'm living in filth, mind you--cleaning is just not the TOP priority).

Oh no...very,very guilty

6. My golf clubs are kept in numerical order in the bag.

Sheesh.

I just noticed something today. Every time I take my hands out of my pants pockets, I rub both of my wrists. Wonder why

I line up things on my desk a certain way. And my books, CDs and DVDs have to be in certain order. And I have a tendancy to double and triple check that I locked my door in my house.

There was one very Monk-like guy who worked where I do. I saw this guy go through this bizzare routine several times. First, he would park his pickup truck way near the back of a parking lot that was rarely half full.

He would then walk around inspecting it and making sure all the doors were locked. He would then walk about 10 yards away, completely stop and come back and repeat the process again. I saw him do this a number of times and it was amusingly strange. I thought about pulling my car next to his sometime just to see what he'd do.

Good thread, wish I thought of it. I do the same thing in regards to the positioning of a DVD film in its cover. Although I now store my DVDs in those black CD 'things' that can hold a hundred - great for minimizing clutter and saving space.
Another habit I have is making sure my DVDs are NOT in any order! I always like the element of surprise as my eyes are scanning em.
On reading a book in bed before sleep, I neither use a page marker nor turn down its edge, instead I face the book down on its open pages - if any1s still awake!

Now that goes against my Monk-like habit of ensuring my book-spines are never bent.

Ditto!

I never crease the covers or pages either, always use a bookmark. And while not reading I place the book down so that the smallest portion of the book devided by the bookmark is always at the bottom.

I'm so obsessive about a clean house. Mrs. Killkenny named me Flex Unger.
