i am neurotic (and so are you) by Lianna Kong

Did you wash your hands? Set the alarm clock? Lock the front door?

Better yet: Do you like even numbers? Do you fold all of your trash neatly into squares? Do you count steps? Do you carry a bottle of hand sanitizer with you at all times? Everyone has his or her own neuroses.

On a routine trip to the office bathroom, Lianna Kong discovered one of hers: "How could I possibly pee with my coworker sitting right next to me doing her business?" And, in that quiet moment of panic, iamneurotic.com was born.

i am neurotic (and so are you) is a smorgasbord of anonymous confessions that reveal people's deepest, strangest, and funniest compulsions and €”quirks that are triggered in the boardroom, the bedroom, and everywhere in between.

“This hilarious and spellbinding collection of people’s quirks, tics, and superstitions provides a Presidential-level pardon—clearly, you are not alone.” —Davy Rothbart, author of Found, contributor to NPR’s This American Life
