excuses i’ve come up with to excuse my rituals  “my foot is itchy” i have a thing about crossing lines on the floor with my left foot first so i rub the top of my right foot over the line if i cross the line with my right foot first  “there’s something wrong with the light” totally believable   “i’m not sure”   “the washer isn’t working properly”  “i or one of my kids accidentally got actually dangerous thing on item so i have to wash it again”  “i burned the food” nope just convinced myself that i contaminated it  trying to play it off like i’m not just being ocd
