I used to do this thing starting when I was like 10 where if I didn’t make it back to the microwave before it beeped I’d think something bad would happen. Sometimes I’d have to make it back to the microwave, stand on one foot, and then hold my breath until it beeped or else I was “doomed.” I did the same thing with traffic lights “If the light turns red light something bad will happen.”

I was doing it for about 12-14 years and then a year or so ago I realized I had stopped doing it and I don’t know why or how or when I stopped.
