Completely agree. I change it at work too

I have to back my car in to the spot or otherwise pull though to make it so that I will not have to back out when I am ready to leave.

When I park the wheels must be straight they cannot be off to the left or the right.

I cannot stand to have my car idling for more than 20 seconds.

That's not a compulsion, just common sense.

What a freaking' hoot!

I'm the same with toilet paper, it must cascade over the top. I'll change it anywhere I can.

Like Silverfox, touching my computer screen will freak me out. I'm the same way with my TV at home. The kids know there'll be hell to pay for smudges on the screen.

I used to not liking food touch either other on my plate, but I've gotten better about that.

I, too, must confess to the staple in the right place syndrome. It has to be in the upper left-hand corner, with a perfect diagonal position.

Ok here we go:

1. All CDs, DVDs, books or anything with a title has to be in alpha-numerical order. Getting DVDs and CDs for x-mas is a nightmare. I take them all down and reorganize.

2. I have mugs, action figures, etc. in my desk at work. If anything is an inch out of place I have to put it in it's "proper place" or I can not function.

3. My TV has to be in the exact middle of the wall a the house. I use a tape measure. This make my wife crazy when cleaning.

4. Like many before have said, the TP has to roll over the top. it doesn't make sense otherwise.

5. I'm constantly checking the fly on my pants to make sure I'm not airing out the barn.


And this is only the beginning.

I am glad to see that from the response to the original post, I'm definitely not alone.

I can't put underwear or socks back on until they have been washed. Even if they have only been on my body for 1 second once they come back off for any reason they are dirty.

I must have a full tank of gas and half gone for me is empty. I drive my wife crazy because I am always topping off the tank. Probably 90 percent of the time I fill back up on the way home. I can't tell you how often I buy just a couple of gallons of gas.

I have issues with numbers. When I see a phone# pop up on the tv I immediatly start adding the numbers up. I then start adding and subtracting the numbers so that I get 1 - whatever the total is I can get to.

I have a ton too. like.....

-any car I see with rims I have to count the number of spokes it has If its seven I have to count it again.

-all my keys on my key ring all have to face the same direction and be in size order smallest to longest.

-Whenever I tell my wife something I must get a positive acknowledgement or I feel she didn't hear me.

-when I look at people I have to see both of their eyes at the same time. If I only see one of them I can't leave them until I see them both together.

-If I ever find myself needing a certain screw or nail and I dont have it I will buy 10 times the amount of them I will probably ever need.

-on my keyboard there are 2 enter keys, I have to use them both equally.

-something about my car horn every few weeks I must make sure it still works.

Wow I got issues....

He he, I once had a truck with a short in some wire somewhere - everytime I turned the steering wheel to the right the horn blew!!

More OCD stuff:

- count my steps everywhere - not to find out the number but to make sure I end on an even step.

- always start walking with my left foot (thanks to boot camp)

Absolutely, I get upset at my wife every time (I think she does it on purpose ).

[cvm4]

I need to quit reading this thread because I might get more OCD issues.

[Darb85]

Jeez, I didn't even think of this one. I do it all the time. I thoght it was normal and everyone did it. The odd number rims really screw with me, too. Who puts 7 or 9 spokes on a rim? I recount just to make sure I was correct and think, how stupid is 7 spokes.
