What's your little OCD?

[JoeKing]

I guess watching slasher horror movies as a little kid can be bad.

The toliet in my bathroom faces the shower/bathtub. Everytime I sit to uhh you know "relax" on the throne, I have to throw open the shower screen.... just to make sure some slasher killer guy isn't waiting for me to start my buisness then jump out when I least expect it. Comon can you picture defending yourself in that position?

I like symmetry.

 

[caitlion]

i am just really paranoid. about everything.

 

[Ynog]

Thats just a good idea away, You never know when someone just is hiding in there trying to catch you
with your pants down. Then again, my college buddies were jackasses.

 

[loup garou]

I bite my cuticles.

I used to do that when I was a kid.

even though i'm pretty sure the back door and the basement door are locked, if just the thought about them gets into my head that they might be unlocked i have to go and check them.

sometimes this means getting up out of bed.

sometimes in the middle of the night.

I glance under my car before I get in. I have ever since I guy in my town got his Achiles Tendon slashed by some kid when he got in his car. It was supposedly a gang initiation thing. Bastards.

DAMNIT now I've gotta look

I have plenty of OCD type things I do, Symmetry being one of them, making sure the toilet seat is closed is another, and I guess that came from always having animals around growing up. I'm sure there are plenty of things I do without even realizing it.

Yeah, me too.

Books need to be arranged on shelves by decreasing size.

DVD's/CD's/Movies, since they're all the same size, should be arranged alphabetically.

There CANNOT be any empty spaces in a CD rack unless that CD is currently out of it's place for a reason =)

Oh, and the keyboard has to be positioned squarely on the desk.

Yes, in relation to the edge of the desk and the monitor.

I think a lot of you are equating the wrong things to OCD.

 

[kranky]

I have a friend with OCD and I couldn't begin to list all the things that he does. It nearly controls his life.

- Ketchup must be stored on the bottom shelf of the refrigerator door. Nowhere else.
- Inspecting each and every bite of restaurant food before eating it in case something looks amiss.
- Must park his car so one of the five spokes on the rims is pointing straight up. Sometimes this means getting out and looking two or three times before being satisfied.

Anyone who parks their car, gets out and looks at the spokes of his wheels, then possibly reparks his car due to where they are pointing has WAY too much free time in his life.

OCD = Obsessive Compulsive Disorder

It's a bit of humor. Most things here are just little quirks people have. Unless the guy with a real case of OCD is too busy cleaning between the keys on his keyboard with alcohol and cotton swabs to post

Hence the term Obcessive Compulsive Disorder

The ketchup thing is an OCD you can talk to a psychologist about.

The car parking thing might require a team.

People with OCD can't help it...I mean, yes they can probably FORCE themselves to do it if it's not too severe a case of OCD...but then there's that uneasy feeling that kicks in like something horrendous is going to happen because you didn't do what you should have done, no matter how illogical.

It can wreck people's lives unfortunately and strain relationships to an absurd degree...with your family too.
