When I see numbers in passing, for example a telephone number on an advertisement, I'm obsessed with adding them up to see if the total is divisible by 9. I do the same with letters of company names. Done this for years, a compulsive tick.
- iSloth 11y agoAny reason why the number 9? Where did the habit start from?
