If I touch furniture, I also need to touch it with my other hand at least once

I did that a lot as a kid, as well as having to scratch e.g. my left arm if I'd just scratched my right arm. I had to put my first step on a new surface with my left foot and the last with my right, and I had a system of sort of aping something I'd just heard by grinding my teeth, which I still sort of do sometimes but only in my head because my teeth have grown in such a way that I can't really do it any more.

I remember I used to eat a bag of crisps by holding the bag in my right hand and picking with my left, until one day I decided that was stupid, and rather than just giving up dictating which hand did what, I switched hands.

I used to do something similar. If I touched something with my index finger, I had to touch it with my thumb.

The most noticeable example was adjusting my car stereo. I'd press next several times, or volume up several times, then I'd press it one more time with my thumb.
