Somthing that would be really well suited would be to give the characted OCD. Many people with OCD IRL believe (or feel) that if they don't do certain things, bad things will happen (or good things won't).

So basicly the character would need to keep performing a variety of aparently useless rituals just to avoid catastrophies, and even more stuff to actually make things he wants happen (counting all the lightpoles on a cityblock to prevent the gas in the sewer from blowing up, counting all the screws on the wheels of a vehicle to avoid getting a flat, making sure all the matchboxes on the supermarket got their matches all pointing north to avoid the supermarket getting robbed, flipping lightswitches 6 times to avoid tripping etc)
