Default Re: Obsessive-compulsive walking patterns / cracks / lines / etc.

Come on guys, the answer to this one should be obvious.

It all stems from those games we played in primary school with our friends. You know, the game where if you step on a crack, you like a girl, or you've kissed a girl. This was such a horribly traumatic taunt in the day that we conditioned ourselves to conciously avoid stepping on them so as to avoid all the humiliation that was associated with it.

Yes, I exhibit some of these behaviours too.
