Not the same, but my dad has bad OCD about his computer. He'll run ad-aware and antivirus EVERY day on his computer. And I'm always like WTF?

Oh, I semi-fold the toilet paper before wiping. You can't bunch it together, that's just too dangerous.

When putting the dishes away, forks on the far left, spoons in the middle (separated between regular and soup spoons, and soup spoons go farther to the right) and knives on the far right. Utility utensils are separated by type (pickle forks/knives/chopsticks/skewers or spoons and spatulas). Mug and pot handles always face the same direction, away from the hinge. Pots are always stacked, and pot lids are standing upright in a rack (smallest on the left) Glasses are ordered by size and material. All plastic containers are stacked according to size and the lids for that size are on top of the stack...etc.

Really, that's it, I swear!

For sure!!!

I floss about 7 times a day, brush my teeth at least 3 times, and mouthwash about 5 times a day... and that is on a day I DON'T smoke.

When coming out of a store my vehicle is ALWAYS on the right side of a row. This I do without realizing it.

All of my money faces the same way.

All cigars have to face the same way with band up.

I cannot have a plate in front of me that I have finished.

I cannot stand to have anything sticky or greasy on my fingers or hands. When eating hot wings or ribs I stop eating just to wash my hands at regular intervals even though I will just mess them back up again.

I eat fried chicken with 2 forks.

On any given full meal I will go through no less than 3 napkins.

I have an internal timer for meat sitting out at room temp. If that timer is exceeded I will never eat it again.

Oops that reminds me - I will only eat supper with a small fork. I can't handle the thought of those long forks.

everytime I pass a mirror, I check for boogers.

If they are organized I will try to have a nice presentation with the labels upward. I try to have my sticks aligned on the top drawer (it has a glass top)
my 2 desktops I use a 10ton press to get the lids to close so I am not too concerned about label sirection there.

I'm ultra superstituous and wear certain pants on certain days at work depending on the amount of people I expect to see. In other words, I wear my most comfortable linen khakis on Saturdays. My wife is ironing them now as I prepare for work.

Also, I can't go to sleep for the night if my shoes aren't perfectly organized in my closet.

I have a row of Cohiba Siglo III's in my singles humidor that I only touch on the last day of the period if I hit my numbers, which I always seem to do.

i have a VERY hard time smoking a cigar unless i have another one of the same exact cigar. for example: if i have a cohiba sublime, i can't smoke it untill i have another one to replace it. i will do it if i am at a herf sharing it, but if it's at the house, it will stay in my humi untill i have another one of them, or if i am running low on cigars and i have no choice.

all cigar bands must face up.

i will not eat ice cream with a small spoon.

if i pass a mirror or anything reflective, i will stare at myself.

i'm sure there is a few more.

[Cigarin-Martin]

I won't have the volume at 13 on my car stereo! I hate getting anything greasy/oily on/near my glasses! I always check my RG rating & visitors, in my profile page before reading any posts on here, must be a noob thing?

-- 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.

If underwear has a "condition", it may mave served it's purpose.

I break out tape measures, levels(need two, never trust just one) to hang pictures. The picture must be centered perfectly on the wall no matter how long...it also must be perfectly centered verticaly between the celing and floor or piece of furnaiture. it usually takes me an hour to hang one picture....

Oh yeah and when working a cash register, all the bills must be face up, and the top of the head to the left.

when washing my car, if one water spot remains after i dry it, i rewash the whole car.

if something is out of place, anywhere, i have to fix it.

thats about it i think...

All of my light switches must be in the down position, for those that have more than one switch for a light.

All my alarms are always set for the 7's currently 8:07.

When I still played, I always has to put on my right everything first (socks, shoes, etc) and I always has to be chewing Winterfresh gum on the field. Also wore the same shirt under my pads every day of my college career.

When the slider is closed, the screen door must be open.

Have to have a fan running while I sleep.

Wash my hands way too often.

These were an interesting read. I don't think I have any of these traits....except the love of cracks!

And I sometimes do random long division for no apparent reason.
