Have any type of OCD? Come and share!!

[Xanthos]

I'm obsessive about getting my facebook status formatted just right. I'll put one up, and then change a comma, and then change that comma to a semi-colon, etc., etc..

I also do that a bit on my posts here, and in text messages/emails.

Another one is if I take a picture, I must take it until it looks professional.

[Chevyrocker]

where to start...

-Wallet always in back right pocket
-Blackberry always in front left pocket
-I check my blackberry right before i go to bed and as soon as I wake up along with everytime I get any type of notification
-all DVD (about 500) in alphbetical order - chronological if same title
-CD's the same
-Double windsor for the tie
-shirts organized from t's to long sleeve to short sleeve button down to long sleeve button down to slacks then ties then jackets, then sports coats
-undershirts folded in a very precise way
-boxers must be folded in half and then rolled
-beers must be in perfect rows in the fridge
-guitars (all 8) must always be in tune with decent strings
-I write in all caps all the time

the list goes on and on...glad to know I'm not the only freak here.

I work on voice and data networks. I read data packets. Kinda like cypher in the Matrix... blond, brunette, red head. Once you understand the pattern you notice changes quickly.

Here are a few of mine:

I have to read every new post.
I have to look at my BB whenever it goes off.
I have a pen fetish. For a long time it was with Uniball Micros.
My gas tank can never be lower than a 1/4. period!
I won't ever buy a base model car. (that could just be spoiled brat talking)
I have to unplug everything when leaving the house- esp. the toaster.
I am also obsessive about how the clutch is operated in my car. If there is a person lucky enough to have the privledge of driving my Camaro- they better know how to drive a stick the right way!!! or ur outta here!

you know, ill be needing a new job here in about a year or so.... I understand the pattern... def red head

[TaylorRyanSS]

I have to eat candy from worst to best... for ex. starbursts: yellow then orange then red then pink
I separate all the flavors of my candy and make them all even... for ex if I have 10 red skittles and 8 green ones I will eat 2 green to make them even first
I always have to have the tv volume end in 3, 5, 7, or 0
thats all I can think of right now lol

[theholycow]

Oh yeah, eating...I do the candy thing too. I also do it with whatever else I'm eating. I have to eat all foods in order from least desirable to most, except I have to eat my meat/sandwich/main part of the dish first. Once I'm done I drink whatever beverage I have. If I'm eating a pizza, I have to start with the least attractive slice (one that has a large crust bubble, or lots of space not covered in sauce/cheese, or too narrow) and end on the best slice (wide, sauce/cheese all the way to the edge).

I do the same thing but making sure the door of the house is locked when leaving or going to bed for the night...

I wipe down the screen on my bigscreen more than once a week. If there is dust or a smudge on it I must clean it before I can watch TV or use the computer, etc.

Radio presets, table parallel to couch, dust off tv, ALL of those!

I am ALWAYS right.

I am ALWAYS right.

I constantly yell/scream at the tv during Sporting events.

I have to have the last word, ALWAYS.(really pisses off my g/f, but she is LEARNING to live with it)

I hate scratches on my phone. After a few months of having my current phone I got a few scratches by accidentally putting it in with my keys pocket and was almost going to buy another one.

I have to squeeze the toothpaste from the back as I go and NOT squeeze it in the middle and make it all lumpy looking.

Always press the lock on the car and then pull the handle a few times.

to all

I can't talk on the phone and sit in 1 place for more than a few seconds. I have to pace while I talk on the phone.

...

Yea, phone thing is my BIGGEST problem... But I also do the clothes thing...

.....

-ANY volume has to end in 5 or 0...
-Have to be listening to radio while on the computer, and even during TV shows...

and I am sure there are MANY others that I do subconsciously at this point, that I don't even realize I am doing them...

It makes me so when someone does it, especially to my Mac...

I clean it like a clean freak...lol

And for some of my other OCD's

1) I have to have all my clothes arranged in the colors order ROYGBIV...and they are also arranged from Tee's to Polos and on the other side Shirts to suits to jackets and on the lower rack thingy its all my jeans from light to dark and then my dress pants from light to dark also...I also enter from one door and exit from the other since I have a walk-in closet with two seperate doors...could put a small couch and tv in there if i wanted too.

2)I also have to wash my hands like a thousand times where ever i am, especially at work...even though they dont get dirty...sanatize my hands at school too...

3)I also freak out when I cant remember if I locked my car and run outside to check...trust me this happens quiet often especially at school...im so into the habit of locking it that i cant clearly remember if i did or not...

4)Cant share drinks with anyone, even if they are my own family members...

There are just to many to list, so im gonna stop...plus its time for dinner...lol

[THUMPER20X]
