Pulsedriver · 10 Sep 2006 at 00:41

OK, In a list, whats your OCD-Style habits;

Some of mine;

Washing hands...
*Whenever I go outside, even if it is to the garage or to get something out of the car.
*Whenever I touch money
*Using a baby wipe to wipe over my phone every day after work.
*Washing my hands after touching a DVD thats been rented (I do it because of not knowing who has touched it before etc etc!)
*Washing my hands after touching the mail/opening parcels etc
*Using a baby wipe over my hands if I've used a trolley or basket in a supermarket.
*Make people wash their hands before they use anything in my room if they have been outside.
*Using the gloves at a petrol station.
*Never touch toilet doors, always use a tissue over the handle.
*Always checking the taps are off after clearly turning them off.
*Always press the lock key of my car a few times.

Strange hey... I know I know! :rolleyes:

LOL, well I was ill a few years back when I was about 12, after playing outside in gravel, and biting my nails.
It's made me completely paranoid, ive gave up biting my nails, but I become clean-obsessed, my reasoning, is that if someone with dirty hands uses my computer, it essentially makes my hands dirty, and so when im eating my dinner after using the comp, or eating a snack at the comp...I'd have dirty hands...

You big gayer

I never have tissues on me,I have enough gadgets i carry around with me.

Biohazard I also always check my pockets before I get off public transport. Its uber annoying when i wear army camo trousers which has like 8pockets and i have to check every single one before i get off which makes me look like a right pleb.

I have allergies. Hard to pick up the ladies when you're snifflin and sneezing.

I'm never without my claritin, ephedrine, and tissues.

ANd I have too many gadgets too....cell phone, pocketpc, laptop.

Steve09 · 10 Sep 2006 at 01:00

The only thing I notice is when I am in a public toilet, like at football games ie West Brom today, I flush the toilet by pressing down the handle with my foot, not my hand, cus I dont want any dirty willy on my hands

lmao

erm sometimes check stuff a few times like plugs and stuff when I know they are off!

Van Hellseek · 10 Sep 2006 at 01:02

Wow you have a laptop in your pocket? :eek:

You must have a big pocket or a tiny laptop!

gurusan · 10 Sep 2006 at 01:03

laptop in a bag, pocketpc securely fastened to my belt...actually I rarely travel with both a pocketpc and my lappy

Steve09 · 10 Sep 2006 at 01:05

Thinking about it, when i was 13 or so, when I used to walk along, I used to kick my foot up at the back, and hit my hand on it lmao

That was a fad for about 6 months

I've always been a pocket tapper myself.

Routinely check phone, wallet, keys, etc like every 10 minutes. Just tap my pockets so I feel that they are there.

Also recentley I've started looking round my room multiple times to make sure all my pictures and posters are in line. Dunno what the relevance of that one is lol.

Fillado · 10 Sep 2006 at 01:07

I too check my pockets (well, just check that the bulges that should be there are), but do it when i'm just generally out
