OCD Confessions

[ucla695]

I always wash my hands when I get home.

I add up numbers. Time time is 10:41 now. I would get to 6 in my head. If it were 12:48, I would add them up to get 15, then 1 and 5 to get 6.

- All shirts must have the graphics/buttons facing to left, with the hook of the hanger facing inside.

- I always look over my shoulder when changing lanes

- Cruise control can only be set on 5's and 0's

- All music must be stored at or above 192kbps to be considered listenable

- All graded papers are chronologically ordered

- A sock with a hole in it never goes on my foot

- I add up the number of letters in a word, all the time. When reading subtitles, I like to find where the center point of the sentence is on the screen.

I always push on the fridge door when I walk by to make sure it's closed. I've been doing it since I was a kid and now that I actually have kids I find it's not a bad habit at all as about 1 out of 10 times they really did leave the door open.

The closet door has to be completely shut when I'm getting into bed. If it's open even a crack, I have to get out of bed to close it.

To many to list, but here are a few:

-I always have to sit in the middle of a row, in the movie theater

-If there is more than one of something, they have to be even

-My boss has a stack of scratch paper on his desk, I always straiten it when I go in there, It drives him crazy

-Paper has to be perfect before I staple it

-Shirts all have to face the same direction

-Cds have to be in alphabetical order (I am so glad they are all ripped into mp3s now)

and many more... Drives my wife bonkers sometimes!

The money in my money clip must always be facing in the same direction and on the same side.

I have many quirks and such that I feel strongly must be done the same way each time but one of the more sublime and ridiculous is that I right click my computer screen and hit refresh and empty me recycle bin more times that are likely healthy.

I inherited the need to close every cupboard door from my Dad.

Thats to keep the Monsters inside

Anyways I have a couple of OCD things. No Clothes can be sticking out of the drawers in the dressers in my room. I will get out of bed to fix that. And I always check the alarm clock at least three times to make sure i set it...Whew I feel better now

-- Shirts have to be hung facing left, grouped according to type (e.g. golf shirts, tshirts, dress shirts), and freshly laundered shirts must be placed on the far right within their group.

-- Money must be sorted by denomination, faced and ranked within denomination according to the condition of the bill (so that the most "weathered" bills are spent first).

-- Objects with straight edges must be lined up on flat surfaces.

-- Underwear must be sorted according to condition.

I think those are the biggies, but I'm sure as this thread grows I'll think of more.

Haha I never realized it until now, but I'm the same way.
