OCD, what's yours?

OK, I have thoyught of a couple of things, in my youth I was like many on here but I just grew out of it when I got a bit lazy.

But I always make sure the Bass/Treble is set correctly on my car.

I will have the Bass on 10 and Treble on 4. apart from the odd song where I have to turn down the bass if i want it loud, in which case I reduce the treble by the same amount.

I always sleep facing the wall, almost on my front with my arms by my side, legs straight and head to the wall side.

I click my neck, arms or legs I need to do the other one to match otherwise nothing, but I still do it. Doesn't bother me if I don't do it.


I new a guy when I was a kid that did some crazy movements, was like a 5 second "arm dance" thing is the only way I can describe it, clicking wrists evenly on both sides and touching his elbows etc.

glad I don't do it any more.

It seems to me like it is logic taken to far. Yes I like order and neatness but at somepoint it stops being a benefit. It is illogical to be inefficent also.
 
supposedly I never finish a meal, will always leave at least 1 spoonfull or bit of food on my plate when I eat out lol.

Also suffer from even number syndrome. And my socks in my drawer all need to be correct and laid out left and right seperate sides :(
 
"I have to flick the light switch on and off 300 times or my parents will die!" lol

I have to check that the oven is off, that there is nothing on the floor my dog can eat and die from and that the front door is locked. Although, thats only when i am locking up! If its someone else it dont matter to me. :-|
 
Mine makes absolutely no sense but it's something I cannot help. Every object around me I always scan to check if it had four corners. If so, I will check that it does have four corners (eventhough it's pretty easy to tell) by counting it with my toes always starting with my right big toe, and I HAVE to finish the count with my left big toe. If not, it drives me nuts and I keep counting until it does end on the left toe.

Lately it's getting worse with me counting (with my big toes) the amount of letters in every word I type and making sure the count ends on the left toe.
 
i will not rest untill my furniture gets swapped around in every room i dont think i will ever be happy with my furniture placement:confused:, also other foibles that i will save to my grave.

Well dude, its original I can give you that!!!
 
if I'm cutting stuff up (veg or chicken etc) I will count the slices I make.
I also occasionally count my steps and have gotten well into the 100' before noticing, at which point I'll snap myself out of it
 
Stero in car has to be on even numbers.

I have to lie in bed for 10minutes watching GMTV after my alarm has gone off.

I ALWAYS dwell on the past.
 
Thank god for this thread, it's the best therapy ever. It's actually very reassuring to see that these things are common. Phew!
 
I only have a few I think.

When someone says 'They writ it down' I have to correct them and say 'no you wrote it down'.

I also always leave my car in 1st gear as my drive is on a slope. I will get in it start it in gear and then before pulling away will always take it out off gear and put it back in.

Lastly (I think) if i have a series of a show on dvd then they all have to be in order or it will bug the hell out of me.
 
I have a bit of OCD, making sure things are straight, lined up, etc but not quite on the scale of those who won't leave their desk until the time is an even number or whatever :eek:
 
If I'm at work and fixing peoples PC's and they have a taskbar that isn't locked... I HAVE to lock it. It annoys the **** out of me.
 
Everytime I see anything rubbish, anyone annoys me or something doesn't work/I'm given excuses for it not working, I mutter to myself "*** country, when am I emigrating to Canada?"

PC wise it's the desktop - hate it being cluttered, there's no reason to have it look like a mess! At home NOTHING other than gadgets is on it and they're kept to a minimum, if my other half downloads anything to the desktop it's either emailed to her and deleted or moved into the downloads folder.

That annoys me no end as well, no idea why! Also if the quick start bar is miles away from the last icon, it has to be moved close before locking it.
