I thought it was only me that did this, I’ve also being doing it since I was a child. Favourite one is steps back to the car I hardly ever get it right though. I think is a kind of OCD.

I add up the numbers on the numberplate of the car in front πŸ˜‚.
I've been doing this since I was a child, when my friend said it was lucky to have them add up to 21 πŸ˜‚.

I do a similar thing to Grannycool52. I like them to add up to an even number. i have to use an even number on TV sound and radio in the car. Does anyone else do this?

I count the steps over the footbridge I use almost daily - out loud! (36). Eek.

I’m even irritating myself now.

Steps from the front door to the communal bin store (10)
Stairs if I don’t use the lift πŸ˜‡ (56)
Steps from the entrance door to the chippy (77)
Number of times I scrape the butter knife across a solid block of butter (6)
Etc …

It’s getting ridiculous.
Anyone else do it?
