Anyone have any interesting OCD?

my bike.. everything needs to be STRAIGHT and make no unexpected noise, if something is touching or rubbing i will get of my bike and sit there till its gone i just cannon stand random noises that shouldn't be there! same with everything else really, if something is making a noise that shouldn't be there it just drives me MAD.

I drove around 6 months with an on/off squeaking from the bumper of my car lol

I guess I don't have that problem but I did get sick of it and got it fixed now.

I can't think of any, there is habit and there is OCD...I don't think any of my habits qualifies as OCD.

If I change volume on the tv or car stereo, or someone else does it, I get 'uncomfortable' if it's not on an even number :p

My amp is currently reading -31.5dB :D
 
I have to scroll through tons of useless information and pictures of cats on the internet before I get anything done.
 
One got a lift to work and ended up late to which my workmate said "sorry I had to check something" when asked what it became clear shes mental and she had to check all the doors and windows at her house at least 2 times before leaving and does this every time she leaves the house.

When getting to work car park her little Ford KA doesn't have central locking and didn't believe id locked the car door so checked before we left the car and then went to recheck her door then look through the window at the to the passenger door to check then went round to check the door again this happened 3 times, I no longer get a lift.

My ex misses had several funny things that realllllllly ticked her off for instance the tv volume could NOT end in a 3, 4, 7, 8 though of course I changed it to those :)
 
I used to walk to the train station with a girl at work.

I take no time to leave my desk, all I make sure is the PC is locked and desk is "kind of" tidy.

She however not only takes about 20 mins to tidy up, she also has a routine that she has to go through, including the way she puts on her coat/jacket. It ended up to the point where I would almost miss the train because I spent it waiting for her go back and forth between the door and her desk.

Once I left her to do her own thing and without me acting as a kind of deadline, my colleagues would tell me that she would still be there an hour after after she is meant to be gone and still there checking things again and again !

It got so bad that work offered her medical help/counselling.

I count stuff all the time. There are 19 steps to the first floor in the office. There are 21 in the stair at my flat. It took me 630 steps to get from the office to my car last night.
And I love cherry milkshakes.
 
Plug sockets isn't too crazy (leaving things on could waste power or overheat, kids could stick their fingers in an empty socket etc). but the Kettle thing is a bit mad :p.
 
I like things set to even numbers.... volume setting on TV etc.. even number of blocks when setting volume on iphone
 
I have to have the volume on anything se to an even number like my iPad has to be set on an even number of blocks or tv has to be on like 10 or something :)
 
I use 2 towels to get dry after a shower and I HAVE to shake each towel once per side.

Not too sure how that developed...

-Every plug socket must be switched off, to the extent he checks every room before he leaves the house.

I don't go round checking every room, but if there is one that is on with nothing in it, I have to turn it off

Also, the volume on a TV/whatever can not be an uneven number....No idea why, but it is in my head now:confused:
 
As an electrical engineer, it boggles my mind how people can think any empty socket switched on could use any power.

Also random fact, the British plug is widely regarded as the safest type, the ground prong is required to be plugged in to move the covers away from the live and neutral. Poking your fingers in to one would not result in a shock.

Downside is that it's bloody painful if you step on an upturned one.
 
I have to have things touching. For example, if there are a few glasses on a table and I put mine down, I would have to make sure it touches the others. Drives me crazy if they don't. :o
 
I have a routine when leaving the shop, nobody can help out or interfere as I would need to do it myself anyway.

I used to carry glass drinks behind me as I was petrified of falling face first on to the glass, the mouth/teeth area always came to mind!

Also used to shut car doors with my elbow, was scared of losing my digits if another car hit me!
