Walking back and fourth until you've walked "correctly", spending a significant amount of time on which direction to choose when walking, etc.

Not sure if this relates, but I have OCD and as a child I'd have to walk the same number of steps on my left foot as my right foot...which often led to me walking in place until I felt like the "correct" number of steps were taken. Tedious, but not the worst thing ever.

It wasn't so much of a "walk correctly" thing but I absolutely had to step on the cracks on the side walk with one foot the same way as the other. If I felt the crack in the middle of my right foot, the next crack had to be landed on the exact same as my left. I had to keep them even and if I got to my destination and they weren't even, I'd go back and force it to happen. If I didn't (it was really bad in high school) I'd sit in class with so much anxiety I'd just sweat and sweat until I was excused to the bathroom and I could fix the mistake of not making it even.
