Oh, well if we're going there, then I am stuck on the number 8. When I was a kid, I used to do tasks in 8's (break things down into 8 movements), and my brother once had an Icee sticker on his toybox that said, "Icee - coldest drink in town," and there was no end to the sheer torture I felt because it was only 7 syllables and I couldn't come up with a way to mispronounce it so that it had 8 syllabes. And believe me I tried.
Maybe this explains why I'm a musician. I cleared it with my CPR instructor that I be allowed to do 32 chest compressions instead of 30 because 32 is the same as 8 measures of 4 beats each.
Grancey has pointed out that when I'm driving with a cup of coffee I wait exactly 8 seconds between sips and that I chew peanut M&M's exactly 8 times before swallowing. I did not know any of this until she started screaming at me in the car one day for no apparent reason. Something about driving her crazy....
