I share some of the things mentioned above.
#1- I too don't like smelly ice and I can't stand unfiltered water...I got very spoiled with fresh tap water for most of my life.
#2- I also won't touch the handle of a public restroom. Always use the paper towel to open it.
#3- I wash my wands more than is probably necessary as well. We go through a large size "refill" of the antibacterial soap pretty quickly. We keep some of it in the shower also and the first thing I do when I get in is wash my hands
#4- All doors must be locked as soon as I get in the car or the house.
#5- I hate paying for bottled water and my re-usable bottle is with me almost all the time that I try to fill up whenever I can.
#6- My sponge always goes in the dishwasher when I run it.
There are sooo many more but I'll leave it at this for now
When grocery shopping all items are taken from the back of the shelves and the same with the meats department.
As soon as we get home from grocery shopping the first thing we do after we set the bags down is wash our hands.
I NEVER use a public restroom.
When entering the house shoes must come off.
LOL! I think I will continue taking things from the front and middle of the produce and meat! The back seems to get a lot of handling!
As for 'stinky' ice, I very seldom can smell such things, so have no idea if mine or anyone else's is smelly. I actually feel blessed that I do not have such a sensitive smeller.
I am a 'counter' . I used to count my steps when walking up our driveway. I count the squares that I 'plant' on Facebook.
I have always had a 'place' for everything, and hate it when things are not in their own place.
I love being well organized.
I hate having my wall pics hanging even slightly crooked. One freind, who's pics hung every which way on her wall, cautioned me to " Don't touch my pictures" when I went to straighten one.
I always park in the same row at WalMart....but it is mostly so I know where to look for my car.
I hate to be stared at.
I never leave the bathroom in the morning without combing my hair first.In fact, I comb it most everytime I go into the bathroom.
Since I am rather advanced in years, I am sure I have a lot of idiosyncrasies.
Location: I never said I was perfect so no refunds here sorry!

One small thing that bothers me..........I have never been able to understand why anyone would put a roll of toilet paper in a bathroom where you pull it from behind or underneath the roll ????
Spoiler
in as much as I have no desire to see what it looks like after use I am particular about what I see before it's use...
When I take something from a rack or shelf, I always pick the one hiding behind the the displayed one. This isn't just food, though ~ everything. It can be a can o' hairspray, even newspapers.
In mass transit (train or bus) I always try to find a seat where no one can sit to my left.
As a child I was obsessive about avoiding cracks and lines on sidewalks. I still do it sometimes but not obsessively.
I absolutely will NOT drink after someone else from a bottle or can. Yes, there's the back-wash, but I just can't stand the idea of touching something where another person's lips have been.
In those custom-sized paper recycle boxes in the work place, I must have the papers stacked neatly. They hold a lot more paper that way. However, mine was replaced with a bigger can, and that's different. I just toss 'em in the can now. (But a lot of co-workers sure thought I was weird about the box.)
I feel naked out in public without: Earrings, lipstick, and fragrance. Lipstick is the worst.
I never touch handles on toilets, either. I use my foot to flush. I also keep a handkerchief in my purse avoid directly touching handrails, public restroom handles, even poles and straps in mass-transit.
I'm a complete neat freak and minimalist. Unnecessary stuff around me or anything out of place makes me sincerely nervous.
I'm not sure if that is an idiosyncrasy or if I really need deep therapy. My Dad is the same way. We both love our nice neat uncluttered worlds. Other people think we are nuts and really don't want to live with us.
I'm just the opposite. NOT a neat-freak, my place is pretty cluttered, and I'm fine 'n' happy with it.
My two-brothers are the neat-freaks. While I can be perfectly comfortable in someone's fastidious-looking place, they can't stand being in a lived-in-looking one. So I think I'm a lot more adaptable than they are cuz I don't stress over that stuff.
